OIL FOR STREETS AT COST
The Kansas City Southern, by This Concession. Makes Dustless Busi-
 ness Streets Possible.

Mayor Legate has received notice through the local agent here that the Kansas City South ern would furnish oil for use on Mena's streets at cost, the same liberal offer made last year. Citi- tizens have contributed almost enough to pay for an 5000 gallon tank car of oil, which soon will be purchased.
 Mayor Legate is very desirous of having the oil applied this year in the most effective manner, which is to brush the sand and dirt from the surface of the street, sprinkle this cleaned surface, then sweep the material back on top of the oil. He probably will ask the city through the council to pay the cost of this work.

STORM NEAR CADDO
 GAP KILLS THREE
Seventeen Were Injured ard Many Houses DestrOyed-Aunt of Will Mcdonald of Mena Among
 Those Hurt.

Through long distance tele- phone communication with Ike Jones of Black Springs, The Star learns that the coronado that passed between that place and Caddo Gap Thursday night, as mentioned yesterday, caused the death of a man by the name oi Beasley, and two of his children. Seventeen others were injured, none dangerously, it is thought. Among the injuned was a Mrs Mcdonald, an aunt ot Will Me Donald of 503 Eighth street. this city. Her injuries were not se- rious, however.
 The homes of George and J. N. Merideth near Paddocks mil were wrecked, and members oi beth families injured.
 Bethel church and nine homes and much timber were blown down and destroyed and much other property loss sustained.
 The path of the storm. which was about 300 yards wide, passed within a half mile of Caddo Gap, but no injury occurred to the town.

COURT ADJOURNED
 UNTIL MONDAY
Grand Jury Was Discharged Wednesday Evening Bert Reed Tried for Grand Lar
 ceny.

The criminal docket was cleared rapidly last week. Many of the old cases under Prosecutor Lakes term, for gaming, violat- ing the liquor laws, assaults, etc., were handled, fines imposed, spe- cial warrants issued for the de- fendants or witnesses who have failed to come into court, or cases dismissed as conditions justified.
 In the case of Amos Goodwin, charged with disturbing the peace of an inmate of the poor farm while in charge there, the jury returned verdict of not guilty.
 Wednesday afternoon the grand jury reported fourteen more iu- dictments, and reporting no fur ther business was discharged by Judge Steel. .
 Thursday the case against Bert Reed charged with grand larceny in the theft of 5000 from Pat rick Donohue was tried. The states attorney was assisted by Pole McPhetridpe, and Judge Prickett defended Reed. Wit nesses testified to seeing Reed leave the Donohue home and he was followed to MitIhell's wagon yard and soon thereafter arrested. No money was found on his per son, and efforts to locate 1t around the wagon yard failed. This fact was about the strongest point in the defense although the defendant denied that he was at the Donahue house and the the ery was advanced by the denfense that the prosecuting witnesses lost track of the real thief aud followed Reed who claimed he was out in that part of town looking for work.
 The case was given to the jury about ? o'clock in the afternoon
 and resulted in a hung jury. Judge Steel discharged the jury
 after holding them all afternoon on the case. They stood six fol acquittal aud six for conviction,
