a TRACK FOR NIUsKoGEE.
St. Louis Firm Making Winter I'm
provements In Territory.

Muskogee, I. T., Nov. 3-CoIonel r. C.
Pate and Judge Thomas Morris, of St.
Louis. have been in Muskogee talking
about race tracks and wintering stables,
and have closed deal for eighty acres.
just southwest of the city and announce
that one of the finest race tracks in the
country will be built there at once.
In connection there will be large win
tering and breeding stables. The state
ment is also made that next year a fair
will be run in connection with this race
track.
Messrs. Pate and Morris are not well
known in this city but it is believed
that they represent promoters who have
sad race tl5Icks at ST. Louis, Hot
Springs and Kansas City. Owing to IN
favora bic legislation in those places, the
turfmen are seeking a location in the
new state, and selected Muskogee as the
most suitable location. A mile track IS
to be built at once on the land, pur-
chased, stables wifi be built and a grand
stand erected.
The newcomers have no connection
whatever with the Fair association
which built a race track at Hyde Park
last year and held a fair at that place
If new fair grounds is to be built the
old company does not know anything
about 1t, which further leads to the
opinion that outside turfmen are in
terested in the purchase made today.

-FOUR BoYs LEAVE HOME.
Two of the Wichita Runaways Were
Captured at Wellington.

Wichita, Nov. 3.-Another case of
getting tired of home rule, and a de-
Termination to strike out for them
selves, occurred yesterday afternoon,
when four Wichita boys decided to
leave their homes and make fortune
in other fields. Two of the boys
dreams were to be short lived, how
ever, as they were taken in by the po-
lice at Wellington.
The four boys who decided to strike
out for themselves were named Rat
lift, Craft, Bromwell and Dillon. The
parents of all Of them live in this city
and the boys leaving was an entire
surprise to them
The four boys. it is presumed, left to-
gether on Rock Island train some
time yesterday afternoon. At 500 last
night Night Clerk Cradle received a
message from wellington stating that
one of the boys, Craft, had been found
In that city About ten minutes later
another message was received stating
that the Bromwell boy had been taken
IN.
Both of these boys refused to say
anything about their companions
where they We're. where they were go
ing or what they had intended to do.
At a late hour last night nothing had
been heard from the other boys. Rat

talking of making a vigorous kick for
the extension of the plug passenger
train service from Salina to oakley.
They are prosperous towns, with poor
passenger train service.
Tt don't look as If there Is any let
up to travel. The Union Pacific
coaches are usually crowded coming
in from the west, and by the time the
train reaches Ellis standing room Is
good, sometimes. The roadbed is in
first class condition between Kansas
City and Salina. It is in fairly good
shape from Salina to Oakley, but Is
said to be quite wretched between
Oakley and Denver. Passenger trains
going east usually lose the time on the
Colorado division.
Large numbers of old-time politi-
cal friends of the Union Pacific will
make their last Topeka visit between
now and Christmas. Passes viii be
discontinued about that time, they are
too old to walk. and they won't spend
money riding on railroad trains. Many
of them are saying their first prayers.
and they are to the effect that the
legislature next winter viii modify the
pass legislation SO they can continue
riding on them.

The College of Emporfa football team
which has not as yet this year made a

INDIAN TEAM IN DEMAND.
But All Offers for Extra Games Have
Been Turned Down.

Carlisle. Pa. Nov. 3-The weather here
was story and wet, the field was in bad
shape, which interfered with the Indians
in practice. Coaches Pierce and Hudson,
however, had the first and second teams
lined up against each other for more than
a half hour, with the results that the
scrubs made a touchdown against the
first team.
The Indians have received several flat

forced to decline on account of the al

This afternoons game is but a poor

The Paramount lads arrived from
Wichita last night and seemed in the
best possible shape for the game this
afternoon. They have not had a game
since a week ago last Monday when
they lost their only game of the season
to st -Marys. Washburn on the other
hand has had her hands full of games
and all the men are in a poor condition.
They were all in fine shape and We're
on edge for the Colorado game but since
then the nervous strain Of two games a
week has had telling effect on the
team.
