Fatal Accident.

Henry Allen a negro laborer at
the Henderson bagging factory, was
the victim of terrible accident
early Monday morning from the ef-
fects of which he died a short time
afterward. He was working at the
picking machine when he was caught
and drawn into it. One arm, his
face and head and shoulders were
badly mashed and cut to pieces and
some OF the bones broken. Yet in
this condition the unfortunate man
lived for several hours before death
relieved him of his suffering.

TO CONSTRUCT
PIPE LINE SOON
Prairie Oil and Gas Company Calls
Meeting at Tulsa to Arrange
For Right-of-way.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept 8.-The Prairie Oil
and Gas company Western branch Of the
STANDARD, has arranged for meeting with
the commissioners Of Tulsa county on
September 23, relative to a right-of-way
along and across the highways OF the
county for pipe line and telegraph and
telephone poles. This is believed to indi-
cate that the long deferred pipe line from
Ramona to the Glenn poolis to be built as
the preliminary step in the building Of a
trunk line from Oklahoma to New Orleans
The line from Ramona to the Glenn pool
was started over two years ago and al
most half of it completed when the Prairie
Oil and Gas company, aroused over a
stringent ruling of the department Of the
interior ceased operations and tore up
what part of the line had been laid
Following the recent decision ofs the
state supreme court, which has blocked
the efforts of Attorney General West to
Dust the Standard Oil company from Okla
homa, there have been rumors that the
projected pipe lines were to be built at
once, and it looks now as though they will
be under way in short time.

COUNCIL MAKES REPLY
AS TO OVERLEY CONTRACT

After interviewing some of the mem-
bers Of the City Council with refer
ence to the Hagby sewer in the west part
part of town the Chieftain makes this
statement.
Some weeks ago the proposition to con-
struct said sewer was advertised for bids.
At the time designated for the opening
of bids there was only one submitted TO
the council-that Of E. j. Overley & Co.,
of Joplin for go cents a foot. The
council instructed a committe to accept
this bid as it was the only one
submitted and the property owners were
anxious to have the sewer constructed
The contract with Overley g. Co.. was
drawn up ready to submit to the council
for approval when some Of the property
owners appeared and protested that the
price was excessive. AS counter prop
osition they proposed to make a bid Of
not to exceed so cents foot if the Over
ley bid was rejected The council accept
ed their proposition and again opened the
matter for bids. When the bids we're
opened at the last meeting Of the council
they--were all far in excessof the so cents
foot guaranteed. The Overley bid was
rejected contingent upon the so cents
bid which absolutely failed, therefore it
was the sense Of majority Of the coun-
Gil that simple justice would be the re-
vival and acceptance Of the Overley
bid.
The, insinuation that the council had
sinister motives in letting the contract to
an outside firm is absurd. there we're
no home bidders in the first place after
the matter had been advertised for two
weeks in the Leader according to law.
1t has been suggested by some of the
people interested that the.property owners
effected construct the sewer themselves
This seems to be fair solution Of the
problem. and a plan to which the council
would doubtless be glad to yield
