HENRYETTA QUIET
False Alarm Sounded Last Night
but no Enemy in Sight,

Muskogee Dec. 3O-The dove Of
peace has, temporarily at least settled
over Henryetta, and the inhabitants
of that city are hopeful that there
will be no more riot or disorder.
La b last night exaggerated reports
were circulated that race war was
on, and the militia had been called
out. Governor Haskell who has kept
in close touch with the situation set
the rumors at rest, and at midnight
after talking over the phone with
the authorities at Henryetta he am
nounced that everything was quiet
and that no call had been made for
the troops.
There was considerable excitement
shortly after midnight whena number
Of shots were heard on the outskirts of
the town, and the citizens fearing an
attack hurriedly sent the word out to
the men in arms to get ready. The
call was Unnecessary as the explosion
came from some torpedoes which were
placed on the car tracks and were ex-
ploded by passing train. A number
OF negroes from the country we're in
town today but they we're given scanty
attention, and no attempt was made
to molest them.
All the undesirable negroes have
been run out Of town and are not ex-
pected to return.

STATE WINS
Application to Have Suit Transfer
red Was DeLied by Judge
Brown

The application Of the Owen & Dom
nelly Companies. proprietors OF the
gaspipe line concern, to have their
suit against the State Of Oklahoma
transferred from the District to the
Federal Court was denied in the Dis
trict Court by Judge T. L. Brown.
The state was represented by Attor-
ney General Charley West,of Guthrie,
The hearing on the application came
up Saturday morning and the courts
ruling Is the second victory In the
suit for the State-a previous decision
having been handed down by Judge
Brown forbidding the company piping
gas from Oklahoma into Kansas. The
people Of Kansas and Kansas City we're
frank in their opinion that the decls-
ion was unconstitutional inasmuch
as gas was a public commodity and
Oklahoma's action was a violation of
the interstate commerce law, The
new state does not look at the matter
IN that manner and the decision rem
dered by Judge Brown Saturday will
give Kansas as we'll as other states to
understand that she does not propose
to have her gas piped out Of the state
when the output is no more than suf-
ticent to supply home consumption.
Mr.. West regarded the effort of the
defendants, to have the case transfer
red, as yelled attempt to bring about
delay that would necessarily De en-
countered in the United States court.
He expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the outcome of the case

When she arr rived at St Michael she was short of coal and had to undergo an inspection which caused a stop of another four days.
 The passengers are loud in praise of the boat. and presented testimonial to Captain Lupp in recognition of his expert handling of the boat.

Some buildings have been burned, and one logging camp. situated beyond Lake Washington has been demolished.

violation having occurred"
 By the Act of March, 1903, Chapter 976, the provisions of the foregoing act were extended not only to rail- roads engaged in interstate commerce, but to those exclusively operating in any of the territories or the District of Columbia.
 We beg to advise you that the Sew ard Peninsula Railroad Co. has been operating several trains each and every day since the opening of navigation in 1907, in complete and utter disregard and violation of the plain provisions of law. which you may duly verify as pro- vided in Section 6 of the act of March 3, 1903, by looking at the couplings and brake system used by said company in the operation of their trains, or by sending any competent person there to verify the same.
 The Nugget hopes that you will see to it that the law is enforced, as it may be on account of the failure of the company to comply with these provis- ion of law that we have had so many distressing accidents.
 The Nome Nugget will assist in the prosecution by furnishing all necessary evidence.
