Western Atmosphere.

Scenery which is attractive to the
eye and a company Of well trained
actors are what Elmer Walters prom
ises to give patrons of The Kentucky
Saturday matinee and night. When
his hurrah, fun play, "a Thorough
bred Tramp makes its appearance.
The play is right in line with the pop
ular demand for western atmos-
phere. The hospitality of the rug
ged westerner. is cleverly illustrated
in this play, and though T. Rush
Thompson, the leading spirit in the
piece. is but a vagabond, the big
hearted westerners show their appre-
citation of his honesty and straight
forwardness by assisting him from
the path of evil association to the sta
tion in life which was his prior TO
falling into bad company.

county committee, won sweeping
victory for the control OF the Repub-

Mysterious ''Phantom Detective"

One of the newest melodramatic
musical surprises of the season will
be seen at The Kentucky on Friday
night, Rowland & Clifford's new play,
THE Phantom Detective" Lem b.
Parker wrote the book and Clarence
Sim the musical numbers. The play
is a melodrama with a musical flaw
oring. Arnold Baldwin plays the
leading role; Frank Folsom. the
phantom. The cast is large and
competent, and the production en-
belished with picturesque scenic
mounting. Brilliantly costumed
chorus girls help the musical ensem-
BILE work immensely. The setting of
trick scenery assists in keeping the
audience wondering and the mysteri-
Gus power displayed by the phantom
is little short of remarkable.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 19-Many
people are dead, twenty seriously in
jured and as many more missing as
a result of the wreck of a Rock Is
land passenger train, three miles
from here.
The engine, tender, baggage and
mail ears. smoker and day coach on
train No. 10. north bound, left the
high bridge that spans the Cimarron
river and plunged into the river
quieksands. ..
The locomotive disappeared from
sight almost Immediately. The mail
and baggage clerks escaped and
swan ashore. The accident was due
to a defective nange on the bridge
which was swerved out of line by the
pressure of driftwood carried down
by the swollen stream.
The train was an hour late and was
running at a high speed TO make up
time. The engineer did not see the
condition of the bridge until he was
within few yards. when it was too
late to stop he shouted to the fire
man, threw on the air brakes and
jumped lie landed on the river bank
aud escaped unhurt The fireman was
severely injured.
When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly col
lapsed, Irecpitating the engine smok
er and day coach into the river. The
two Pullmans remained on the track
The scene was one OF indescribable
confusion The shrleks Of those i'm
prisoned in the partly submerged
coaches were added to the shonts, Of
those on the bank. The swift current
whirled the day coach down stream
and lodged it against ssand bank
The occupants were helped odt
through doors and windows.
Float Down Stream to Safety.
The smoker floated down stream,
submerged all but the top. It stuck on
a sandbar in the middle of the river.
Four men who clamored through a
window to the top of the car were
swept away by large mass OF drift
wood. Three other men Jumped
through the rear door of the smoker
before the car sank. and swan to
shore.
The most authentic accounts place
the number of passengers in the smok
err at between twenty-five and thirty
With few exceptions none have been
accounted for.
The only hopeful news is contained
in a message from rural districts.
Men on bits OF driftwood have been
seen going down stream at various
places, but attempts at rescue have
in most instances proved futile.
One man whose name is unknown
was fshed out of the Cimarron at
Cashion, twenty miles from the scene
of the disaster, almost dead. Others
have been reported floating down the
river. The injured have been taken
to Kingfisher, where the people have
thrown open their homes for them
II will be impossible to ascertain
the exact number of dead for several
days.

diver is closing the matches and when
this is done the water will be pumped
