new KIND OF
PAVING
win be Used on Kansas Avenue
Ready to Call for Bids

An almost unique kind Of paving is
to be used on Kansas avenue, accord
ing to the plan adopted at meeting
Of the property owners yesterday. It
is a novel method and was adopted up
On the suggestion Of Mr.. Griffin.
The plan agreed upon calls for ten
feet Of cement on either side Of the
street with the center Of brick or as
phalt Mr.. Griffin had never heard
81 q street being paved in this man
ner, the idea being new one with
him, but when Mr.. Colby, the city en-
gineer Investigated, he found that
such a method had been used in a
few other cities. Cement paving
stands wear, is clean and costs less
than brick Or asphalt, said Mr. Grif-
TN 1--WE estimate that It win cost
about S1.6O per square yard whereas
brick and asphalt will cost from s2.1E
to $50. By having a ten foot strip
Of cement on the sides, we win have
paving that viii stand heavy traffic
and won't be injured by teams stand
ing on it"
At the meeting yesterday, the city
engineer was requested to prepare
the plans and specifications and ad
vertise for bids at once. Bids for the
storm sewer have already been called
for. Kansas avenue will be pavet
from 1st. to 9Th street beyond ques
tion and the work will be started il
the near future.

Mr.. Newer Loses Valuable Animals
Deed Of Wanlon Villains

Some one in Chickasha was just
mean enough yesterday evening to
poison three very valuable dogs Of
E. J. Newer's at 4Ol North 18th. with
out any apparent reason. AT supper
time It was noticed that the dogs be-
gan to act strangely and in short
time his greyhound pup died. The
two other dogs poisoned were bird
dogs and although the dose didn't
kill them Immediately, they were both
very sick this morning and it is not
known whether they will recover
There Is no clue whatever as to who
could have done the deed, as the dogs
were not troublesome and stayed at
home most Of the time.
Mr.. Newer had another greyhound
pup stolen about two weeks ago anC
had said he would not take $50 FOL

TROUBLE
Some MuskOgse Delegates Baked on
Mixing up with COlOred COnligsnt

Muskogee, July S1.-The local re-
publicans are having trouble making
arrangements for the trip to Tulsa.
Some of the boys object to travelling
with the colored contingent, especial
ly since the Lilly Whites are in the
minority on the delegation.
This has caused row. There was
a meeting yesterday in FalwelI's Of
flee attended by Huckleberry, Harri-
son and others who are bossing the
job. Some Of the boys wanted to make
the trip as a delegation. Others re-
fused and declared they would never

It is said that HuckIeberry pointed
out to the boys that it was absolutely
necessary for them al to 20 togeth-

ton.
The meeting broke up with the gen

delegation would go Thursday. but il

AIT Parties Placed Under Bond for Ap
pearance at preliminary Trial
Saturday

Lon Keith and his brother Z. G..
Keith were arrested yesterday at Tut
tie BY Deputy Burke in connection
with the mysterious murder in a Fris-
co freight car. 0. B. Hathaway was
also arrested and the three were plac-
ed under $500 bonds each last night,
after being brought here, for their APP
pearance at the examining trial which
is to be held Saturday morning.
Their arrest appears to be based on
the theory that the dead man is Craw-
ford who has been missing from Tut
tie since last Thursday. 1t was learn
ed that the Keith boys were seen driv-
ing towards Mustang with Crawford
but when confronted with the state
ment they at first denied il. Later
they admitted that they had taken
him to Mustang where they said he
intended to take the train for some
point in the east.
Crawford had worked last for th'
father Of the Keith boys and the Old
gentlemen who came down with then
last night, was taken to view the re-
mains. He said there was some re
semblance between the dead man ane

Is Strong Because Attacked.

No doubt Mr.. Fairbanks is sincere
ly glad that Golfers Weekly saw fiji
to open its columns 10 the publication
of a villainous attack upon MIN by an
irresponsible yellow journalist. Ger
tainly Mr.. Fairbanks is glad unless he
thoroughly realized before this attack
the really cordial feeling cherished for
him by the people of Indiana. He
must long since have appreciated the
fact that he is held in high esteem by
them-his repeated endorsement by
election attested that-but it is doubt
full whether, previous 10 the hysteri-
cal wall of the Shiny Gardener. no
knew that besides admiration, his fell
low citizens bore for him the warmest
sort of friendship, the friendship which
attack only the more solidly cemen's
He must now be gratefully cognizant
of this fact, however, for IL has been
almost amazingly demonstrated by the
unanimous denunciation of his ira
ducers by the pople of the state. The
ugly falsity of every charge made and
the cruel injustice of it all, aroused
throughout Indiana a feeling of indg-
nant resentment that has not been
similarly parallelled in years. While
more than surprised that a journal,
that purports TO stand for that which
is decent in life, should give space 20
reckless allegations that are false on
their face, the Hoosier people have no
hesitated TO brand the infamy even IN
more empnatically because Of its
pseudo respectable sponsor. Whatever
reputation Golfers may have had for
honesty in Indiana prior TO its publ
cation of this malignant assault, and
whatever influence it may have WELD
ed as "a national weekly 1t assured
ly lost by its astoundingly reckless
disregard of honor and truth. It's edi-
tor evidently had no more appreciated
of the real esteem in which Mr.. Fair
banks is held by the people of his home
State than he had knowledge of the
vituperative falsity of the character
of nonsense TO which he gave space.
He must certainly have some knowl-
edge of both by this fine, however. if

boys who had followed her for several
blocks of the parade and pelted her
with small missiles, Ruth, a feature
of Cole Bros, circus, and said TO be
the largest living elephant, shot her
trunk into a densely packed crowd
of spectators at Lafayette square on
Main street. When she withdrew ii
the body of twelve-year-old Rocco La
quino dangled in the air.
With a trumpet of range the beast
lifted the boy above her head and
brought him down with a terrific force
On the pavement. Then she released her
mold of her victim and left him pros
trate. His skull had been fractured
by the impact.

Ruth struck the body with her foot
and knoked it several feet toward
the curb line.
Laquino died in the ambulance on
he way to the hospital and the body
was taken to the morgue, where 1000
frantic men and women passed the
slab all fearful that it was their son.
At o'clock, seven hours after the
tragedy, Mrs. Laquino was admitted
10 the morgue, and at the first sight
of the boys face she fell fainting by
mis- side.
r. S. Dunlop, trainer of the ele-
plants who was riding at the left
side of Ruth, was arrested the police
holding that he should have taken a
position between the elephant and the
crowd. A few hours later Dunlop
was released on the advice Of Dis
trict Attorney Abbott.
Cole Bros, announced 20 night Ruth,
who is seventy years old and valued
at $1,000, will be put to death with
cnloroform.
The animals owners were not de-
termined whether they would attend

would hand her over TO the humane
society for killing. a decision Will
be reached before the circus train is
