New lmerurban to Be Built By

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster CITY, Oct. MATTERS in
connection with the new proposed
Boone Webster City interurban line
are rapidly progressing. The first stock
to be sold in the new project was sub
scribed for and from now on the pro-
motors Of the line will be Industrious
ly engaged in placing the 100000
worth of stock that is to be sold.
About thirty of the leading farm
ers living southwest OF the cllF
gathered at the Bethel school house
and that these gentlemen fully reaiiIe
the many advantages of an interurban
road is evidenced by the fact that
those present signed free right of way
across their lands, should the road be
constructed in that vicinity. and those
tributary to the line subscribed nber-
ally to assist the proposition.
The project will be financed entirely
by people of this city. farmers living
between here and Boone, and Boone
people; and every indication now
points toward smooth sailing in plac-
ing sufficient shares. The capital
stock OF the company Will be $780,
900; $500. 600 Of this will lie preferred
and 100000 common stock. 1t Is de-
sired to sell 100000 worth of this
stock in this city. Also in the farm
ing districts 100000 of stock will be
sold and like amount in Boone.
1t is not expected that this will be
done in a day or week, but every
indication looks favorable to securing
the necessary subscriptions. People OF
this city and vicinity well realize what
the project means to the enhancing OF
the valuation of properties as well as
giving advantages in large measure
for passenger and shipping facilities
1t is anticipated that within several
months time practically all of the
100000 capital will have been sub
scribed for, and in this event the build
ing of the road would be begun by
spring.
A careful and authentic estimate
shows that the earnings in passenger
traffic the first year will reach the fig
ures of $2a,4O022 this not counting the
earnings from freight. express, etc.
which would no doubt figure as much
more. Then. too. the Boone. Webster
City and Interurban Co. have an OPP
ton on public utilities in Boone, con-
sisting of an electric street railway,
electric lighting plant, gas plant. wa
ter system and steam heating system.
This alone would insure the company,
should the above be purchased, an
earning of $4,000 each year.

BILLCARDWELLACTS THEY RAID CHELSEA
Says Haskell Libeled Him--Cruce
Manager Gets Warrant for
Nominees Arrest.

Oklahomama City, O. IT,, June IL

the arrest of G. N. Haskell, Demo
cratic nominee for governor, on
charge OF criminal libel, on complaint
of w. d. Cardwell, one of the CAM
paign managers Of Lee Cruce, defeat
ed candidate for the nomination, is in
the hands of Sheriff Garrison, Of Okla
homa county, to be served on Haskell,
who is expected here at $50 this even
ing.
In the complaint, which was filed in
the probate court of Oklahoma coun-
ty, Cardwell alleges that on June 9,
1907, Haskell, in his paper, the New
State Tribune, published at Muskogee,
'willfully and with malace published
the following libelous article:
''It seems strange indeed that if
Mr.. Cruce is the clean manly and ex-
alted character, which you claim he
is, that he would have called to be his
trusted advisers and confidential
workers such men as Bill Cardwell,
J. Harvey Lynch and Moman Pruiett,
all Of whom are ex-convicts, convicted
Of crimes that 60 directly to their
moral and mental character"
Haskell men claim he can prove the
charges. Cardwell said last night that
he can submit proof to show them
false.
II don't intend to be touted around
asa criminal and not defend myself,
