by the crowd which was sore over de-
cisions Of the day before In which
two players were sent to the bench.
There was no game and the umpire
declared the game forfeited to Chi
cago 9 to 0. In fact, in daily perusal
of league games the umpires come in
for an amount of abuse that would
naturally drive one to drink. There

The Royal Neighbors had picnic
Yesterday at Bakers bridge. They
took their dinner there and returning
home in the evening stopped and had
their supper on the road. About 30
attended.
A fire alarm was turned in last
night from Fifth street and Fourth
avenue. The boys turned out in a
hurry, climbed onto the wagon and
started up the hill. The parties turn
| ing in the alarm had placed large
telephone pole across the roadway
| and the wagon struck 1t before 1t
was seen. The driver went up in the
air but happened to light in the seat
when ne came down. He looked
around and asked If they were all on,
| and finding out they were, he fin
ished the run. 1t happened that the
wagon had gone slowly up the hill
and the maximum speed had not been
attained, or the horses might have
been crippled, the wagon wrecked
and the firemen seriously injured.
The pole was one of the big ones that
reach half way across the street.

Attention is called to the 800 re-
ward offered by the city council in
another column. The Herald sin
cerely trusts the guilty party will be
apprehended and here is an oppor-
tunity for the police, sheriff's office
and every one interested to get busy.
The Herald does not hesitate to say
that the party who placed the tele-
phone pole across the street, then
turned in an alarm, knowing the wa
gon would have to travel that way,
is guilty of crime that makes one
ashamed of his fellowman and he
should be placed behind bars for the
rest OF MS lie. personally, we are In
favor OF hanging.

Old Joe, the fire horse that was
sold by the council last year because

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT ON
CHOcTAW DISTRICT
OTHER PROMOTIONS MADE
Saunders Is Superintendent OF Kansas
City Terminals s-Mr. Beacon to
Panhandle.
Oklahoma Times Journal.

Oklahoma Times Journal:
A number of changes on the
Panhandle division aud the Choc-
taw district of the Rock Island
were announced yesterday. H. NJ,
Hallock, superintendent Of the
Panhandle division. assumed his
new position, that of general sup
erintendent of the Choctaw dis
trict today. The appointment of
Mr.. HalIosk was announced few
days ago by d. E. Cain, general
manager, at Topeka. The news
came as great surprise to his
friends in this city. Very few
railroad men rise as fast as has Mr..
Hallock. Considering the short
time that he has been in railroad
service one would think that he
was rising faster than he should.
Yet he has made good" in every
position that he has filed.
Mr.. Hallock started railroading
in 1890 as telegraph operator on
the Cottonwood division. of the
Santa Fe. He worked in a num-
Der of capacities on that division,
having been agent operator, agent
and yard master. IN 1898 he ac-
cepted a position as telegraph oper-
ator with the Rock Island at Nor
ton, Kansas, serving in that posit-
ion until 1899 when he was made
train dispatcher at Horton. He
was then transferred to Chickasha
as train dispatcher in September,
1899. His work was such that he
displayed a great deal of skill in
! the handling of traffic and he was
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1906-09-17

made chief dispatcher Of the Okla
homa division CT the Rock Island
in 1900. He served in that Posit-
ion for a number of years, and
was trainmaster of the same divi-
sion. In July, 1904, Mr. Hallock
was made superintendent of the
Oklahoma division. G. A. Merrill
was superintendent of the Pan
handle division, and when he was
transferred to the Arkansas divi
sion, Nj. Hallock was transferred
to Oklahoma City as superintend-
ent of the Panhandle division in
July, 1905. Mr.. Hallock only re-
mained in Oklahoma City a little
over a year, and was appointed
general superintendent of the
Choctaw district, to take effect
yesterday.
T. H. Beacon, of Harrington,
Kansas, superintendent of the
Kansas division of the Rock Island,
has been appointed to succeed Mr..
Hallock. Mr.. Beacon is we'll known
in this part of Oklahoma, having
been superintendent of the Okla
homa. division, with headquarters
at Chickasna, a short time ago.
He was transferred to the ST.
Louis division, with headquarters
at Eldon, Mo. From there Mr..
Beacon went to Herringtcr in the
same capacity.
H. r. Saunders, trainmaster of
the Panhandle division, has been
appointed superintendent of the
Kansas City terminals. G. w.
Rourke, superintendent of the
Kansas City terminals will be sup
erintendent of the Kansas division,
succeeding Mr.. Beacon, WHO
comes to Oklahoma City. Mr..
Saunders has been trainmaster Of
the Panhandle division for about a
year. He came here from Chicka-
sha, where he had been trainmaster
of the Oklahoma division. Previ-
ors to that he had been yardmaster
OF the Chicago yards for nearly ten
years. He is well posted on termi-
nal work, and this appointment
was probably made for that reason.
U. S. Rea, chief dispatcher of
local division, succeeds Mr.. Saund-
ers as trainmaster. He has been
chief dispatcher here for nearly
three years. Mr. Rea has been
"railroading" for a number of
years and is we'll posted in his line
of work.
