IS sTlLL A MYSTERY.
Oklahoma Authorities Still Puzzled
Over Death Of Young Man.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Jan. 90
Growing more and more puzzling 1a,-
ly is the mystery surrounding the
death Of the young man supposed IN
be Luther NJ. Roberts OF Huntington
West Virginia Surprised, indeed, were
the police when Chief Hubatka was
called up over the long distance tel
ephone last evening and talked to a
man giving his name as Luther VI
Roberts at Fort orth, Texas.
The dead body OF Roberts was
found near the Canadian river three
weeks ago. The facts OF the case have
been told, an dthe public is familiar
with them. At first the suicide theory
prevailed and thinking only the young
man had killed himself. while in the
misery Of strychnine poisoning, the
coroner's jury gave the verdict ac-
cordlng 10 the suicide theory Different
people viewing the body yentured the
information that he was the cotton
candy man on the streets here some
weeks ago The Identification became
so sure that two persons, a man and
a woman. said he had boarded at a
certain place in the city Investigation
proved that they We're correct, or pre-
snmably so II was stated that the
man had a brother in Huntington,
w. Va, and a message was sent there
20 the chief Of police asking a yeri-
hcation. Promptly a message was re
turned from a man giving his name
as H. w Roberts and saying that he
believed the dead man was his
brother There were others, however
who did not believe this. The man and
woman mentioned were watched,
though Il IS claimed they have dlsaU.

telegram from the purported W. VI.

Now that tho chief Of police talkci
10 some one in Fort Worth who
claimed to be Luther NJ Roberts, the
whole thing becomes more OF a mys

the dead man?
The body has been held pending
the discovery OF some relative. There
IS some expense attached to the keep

the case now that the theory Of sat

CENTRAL R'Y COMP ANY
Work Is Being Continued and the
Line Proceeds to
COnsummatiOn

Z Inquiry at the offices of Messrs. Man
ming, Clark & Haviland evinees the
fact that the Central railway north
ward from the city is progressing as
rapidly as the elements will permit, at
least as far as this concerns twenty
FIVE mile contract is concerned.
About ten miles at this end of the
contract is about completed and
a considerable portion of the upper end
is nearing completion, leaving the
heaviest portion of the work to be
done in the middle of the job where
the work will be of easier supervision.
The local contractors have had much
heavy construction and have made ex-
cellent headway. Many sinkholes have
been encountered, some of which have
swallowed up more earth than the one
regarding which so much has been said
in recent weeks.
This work will run into the middle of
the summer. When completed the
concerns many friends will hope that
the boys Of the firm will come out of
it with a barrel of money. The cour-
age involved in undertaking such a
large contract is an encouragement to
activity upon the part of others.

A New Fish Hatchery.

The following dispatch from Madi-
son is of interest to local sportsmen:
'TThe commissioners of fisheries are
looking for desirable site for trout
hatchery. They require for this pur-
pose location at or near the head of
a stream, flowing 1000 gallons or more
of soft water per minute, with fall of
not less than ten feet to forty rods.
The site must also have an acreage of
suitable land for ponds of from Is to 80
acres, and should not be over four
miles from railway station. /"
How about the Namakagon river,
the natural home of the trout? 1t
answers all the purposes called for,
and can offer numerous other advan-
tages. What's the matter with the
Hayward Commercial club going after
this new hatchery. We certainly stand
as good show as any place of getting
it. Hayward Republican.

SHERIFF REED A JUROR

Sheriff-elect Performs Civic Duty on
Eve ofOfiicial Term.
Sheriff f-elect j. HI. Reed was in the
city this week as juror in the circuit
court.
Mr.. Reed will assume the duties of
his office January 9th, 1907. Mr.. Reed
won out against great adds and the
News believes that he will make us
efficient and capable officer as he did a
slayer as campaigner.
Mr.. Reed is Rusk county man for
other reasons than to get Office. He
has lived In the county many years and
done much toward the county's develop
ment.
The News believes that the new
sheriff will treat all alike, that he will
be sheriff of Rusk county and not of
any clique or faction. This has all
along been the belief of this paper.
Our compaign has been one of principle.
This paper wants good county govern
ment-and it doesn't want petty tyrant

Company Hard Fought.

Company Hard Fought.
The case of Hubert S. Harvard aginst
the Beldenville Lumber company occupi-
ed the attention of the circuit court

EFFECT OF ADVERTISING.
Inquiry About Turpentine From

tanned articles on the manufacture OF
turpentine and other articles from
stumps.
A business man of whom the News
never heard before writes to obtain
copies and further information as to
the opportunity to locate plant in
Rusk county.
The Importance of such inquiry will
be conceded even by those who fail to
see the value of the advertising fea-
ture involved. Here is an inquiry from
entirely beyond the field occupied by
the News. What, then, must be the
value of advertising within the field of
circulation Our want ads. have been
traced to their effectiveness. There is
no question about the value of display
advertising when placed in paper of

NOVEL CASE IN COURT.
Question of Authority of Conveyors
of School Children.


William Zehner, who is conveying the
children to and from school in the Miller
district, has brought into question a
point of law or authority that has
never been passed upon in the courts
the question of forcible control of con-
veyors over school children in the per-
formance of their duties of transport
alton to and from school.
Mr.. Zehner met with some obstreper-
BUSINESS upon the part of some of the
children in his charge, and, on occasion,
proceeded to convince the waywards
after the manner and process of the
ancient "wielder of the birch" 1t is
reported that the obstructionist lad
temporarily laid away his claim to
authority and was successfully landed
at the home of his parents in due time
and manner. But, so report goes,
the parent objected, got warrant and
the case comes. off in Reeves court to-
day.
It is said that no decision has been
made by the courts on the question of
the authority of conveyor of school
children to insist upon children riding
with him or that they maintain order
and decorum within the conveyance.
Suppose there has been no decision,
what of it? Can parent place child
in the care of another under contract
of conveyance and deny the authority
to convey? Has the child authority to
annul that contract midway between
the school and the home? Or is the
conveyance system joke, jest and a
farce? If boy becomes belligirant,
shall the conveyancer throw him out in
the mud or a snow bank, or shall he
proceed to take the belligerancy out of
him in the good old way? Is govern
ment instituted for bad hammered boys
as we'll as men and women? In the
language of that curious cuss-'is
civilization failure or is the Caucasian
played out?
The News believes that the man who
conveys children to and from school
should so convey them, peaceable if he
may, forcibly if he must, at least con-
vey them.

DODGINC THE CONTEST
True and the Gang Don't Want to Go
Into Court, Their Pre-
tense Punctured.

The pretense of H. w. True and the
McGill-Newman-Kauffman gang of
character asSassins was punctured
Monday when the libel cases were call
| I'd for trial. 1t was discovered that
| their chum, Laurence, was away at
the Lawrence cure, so an affidavit was
made that he was principal witness
and under motion all the cases were
put over the term.
Our readers will remember how
boastful the gang was couple of
months ago when they and the puppet
press that mimics them were telling
in loud tones what they would prove,
and how eagerly they awaited the first
opportunity to prove it. The truth is
that they can't prove anything, and
they know it. The truth is that their
mouthings are the cowardly falsehoods
of assassins, and they know it. The
truth is that they do not decline to
stoop to any superfuge to keep out of
court, and everybody kuows it.
And who is this main witness of
theirs! What a spectacle, when peo-
pie of assumed respectability will in
court solemnly swear that they depend
for their case on such testimony!
But their "main" witness is in Min
neapolis and they know it. He can be
found, and they know it. His deposi-
ton could have been taken. and they
know it. He would have come here at
their beck and call, and they know it.
Did the slanderers want him? Did
they better their cause by this pre-
tence, that everyone knows is a pre-
tence pure and simple? What does the
public think of shriveling towards,
under criminal charge, hiding under the
cloak of legal technicalities?
But the day of reckoning is coming
Next June isn't far away. And if the
gang wants to pay the cost of post
poning, it appears on this occasion to
be their privilege.

The case of Thomas Baker against
the receiver of the old First National
bank will not be tried in Rusk county.
The plaintiff has filed an affidavit OF
prejudice and Judge Parish will send it
to another Judge, probably to Judge

The contention of the plaintiff is re-
ported to be that securities were at
tached to this not to insure its pay
ment and that these securities were re-
moved while in possession of the bank.
