DIXON TRAIN CANCELLED
VIII Not Be Run to Chicago Conven-
ton as Scheduled,

The special train which Syl Dixon Of
Dodge City had arranged for to take
a crowd of ardent Taft boomers to the
Republican national convention has
been abandoned. Mr.. Dixon had ar
ranged for big crowd and a big train
of Pullmans, diner and a bufft car
and all the frills but the floods in the
Kaw and Missouri river valleys put a
stop to it. Mr.. Dixon has been notified
that the railroads had all they could
do to handle their own trains and did
not want any specials to be bothered
with at the present time. The train
was to be made up of representatives
from different towns in Kansas and
Oklahoma and was intended as an adj
vertisfng and a pleasure trip COM
bined. Each town was to have a car
and banners and decorations were to
be allowed. Besides this each boomer
was to have proper decorations to see
that his town was properly advertised.
In addition there was a requirement
that every man should be for Taft for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent.
Mr.. Dixon is planning for a flour
train to advertise western Kansas and
Oklahoma. This train will be run
during the fall and will go to most of
the eastern states.

NEIGHBORS IN LAWSUIT
Assault Case Against Prominent
Payson Citizen Being Heard
in Provo Court.

Provo Jan. 15-The case of the state
against Thomas H. Wilson. the superin-
tendent of the Payson Coop, charged
with assault with intent to do great bod
lily harm, by asSaulting Thomas Wignel
the road supervisor of the Payson dis
trict, with rocks. was continued in court
today. The testimony in the case brought
out the fact that there had been some
trouble between the road supervisor and
the good roads committee. The good
roads committee and the Commercial
club had undertaken to put in a piece of
new road without considering the road
supervisor. Wilson had been hired to do
the work on the new road. and WigneI on
the night of May "A had broken dam and
Hooded the road. The next day Wilson
and his son were working on the road.
Toward evening Wignel drove up and
Wilson stopped him and heated words
passed between them. Wilson assaulted
the road supervisor with cobble stones
painfully bruising him about the body
and dislocating one of the mans kidneys.
Wilson claimed that threats had been
made against his life and hit the super
visor to prevent being injured. The testi-
mony introduced. however, did not bear
out the defendant in his claims in full
while it went to show provocation. The
case will in all probability go to the jury
tomorrow.
All Payson is concerned over the case,
as both the injured and the defendant
are highly respected and well-known IN
that city. Both the state and the defend
ant had many witnesses as threats had
passed and were generally known
throughout that city.
The injuries he received have made an
invalid of Wignel ever since and suit
has been filed against Wilson for dam
ages in a civil suit. which will be tried
shortly after the criminal case is closed
Judge H. N. Tanner has been retained by
Wignel as a special prosecutor and the
fight promises to be a hot one Derore the
close. Corfman & Rydalch are represent
ing the defense.
