FLIES
STOPPED
A TRAIN
Swarm of Insects Bring a Powerful
Locomotive to a StandstilI on the
Grand Trunk Railroad.
(Kansas City Journal.)

A few days ago the Grand Trunk
flyer going east was in hard luck. At
Napanee the steam box on the big
egine got overworked or something,
and refused to continue the journey
The timely arrival of freight train
helped. The cars were shunted to
siding and the freight engine brought
into commission on tn express, TAX
ing it as far as Brockville, when an
other large engine was secured.
Now comes the peculiar part OF
the troubles of that train. When
about 20 miles out of Cornwall it ran
into a sea of peculiar flies. There
were millions-eprhaps billions, but
the train was going so fast it wos i'm
possible to count them. The cars be-
came quite dark as the train plowed
through the mass of insects, and then
the train came to another sudden stop
The engine was full of flies. The
little things were ground into a mass
in the driving rod. They were in
everything on the engin.
The train had been blowing through
the flies at a mile a minute for sew
eral miles. The track was covered
with crushed insects and the engine
wheels baked at going round on it
After a little persuasion and a lot O.
cleaning up the train went upon it.
way again.
On arrival at Montreal the engine
presented a truly curious spectacle
The bars of the cowcatchr were filled
right up with flies. On the front o
the engine they were several inches
thick.

LOST OKLAHOMA TOWN
1t Was Once the Headquarters of
ChickasaW Nation.


Chckasaw Nation.
Atoka Correspondence to Kansas City
Star.
Twelve miles east of this place is
one of the lost" towns of Oklahoma,
Doggy Depot, lying in the lowlands of
Doggy creek. Many years ago Doggy
Depot was noted place in Indian Ter
ritory.
When Col. James Doggy, as an agent
of the federal government, brought
the Chickasaw Indians from MISSISSIPPI
pi in 1892 he pitched his tent on the
ground where afterward stood Doggy
Depot The Chickasaws made a treaty
with the government wherein it was
provided that all payment of moneys
should be transacted at Doggy Depot,
this place being chosen by the In
dams because of the fact that all sup
plies for the Chickasaws were hauled
in wagons to Doggy Depot from Fort
Smith, Ark.
For years Doggy Depot was a gov
eminent post. When the lands held
by the Choctaws and Chickasaws were
divided between the two tribes the
Chickasaws moved westward to their
present home and Doggy Depot was
abandoned as a government post. The
wealth OF a number of Indian terri
tory families was acquired in trade at
Doggy Depot.
Most of the commercial salt used
in Southern Indian Territory and
Northern Texas was manufactured
from the waters of Salt Creek, a small
stream that flowed near the town.
Settlers came for miles on horseback
and in wagons and carried the salt
away in bags. At the beginning of
the civil war the Confederate govern
ment took charge of the salt works
and manufactured salt for the Con
federate army in this part of the coun-
try One of the old kettles used at
that time is owned by A. R. Faudree
of this place.
Doggy Depot was the birthplace of
a number of persons now of wide ac-
quaintance in Oklahoma, among them
being Mrs. Robert L. Owen, wife of
United States Senator Owen, and
daughter of Captain Hester, who be-
came rich in merchandising: Charles
D. Carter, member of congress from
the Fourth Oklahoma district; DR.. E.
~ Wright, for years business agent
of the Choctaw government in Wash
ington. and his brother, the Rev Frank
Wright. a successful missionary of the
Presbyterian church among the plains
Indians of Western Oklahoma.

The organization of the gangs bus

this fact the government agents are
MORALLY certain, partly because it is

fact that though so many arrests have
been made no evidence of the exist

sending through the mails or by ex'

dealers or inside men who stand next
to the counterfeiters and do business
directly with them.
When a dealer arrived in this coun-
try with a fat roll of the spurious bills
tuckd away somwhere in the false bot
tom of trunk he picked his pushers
and to them sold his goods outright.
The dealer paid twenty-five cents on
the dollar for his purchase from the
manufacturer. He sold to the pushers
for thirty or thirty-five cents on the
dollar and in some instances the push

crease of five cents. Because Grim

COUNTERFEIT MONEY
COMING FROM ITALY

a well organized gang of "pushers"
who have been flooding Greater New
York and all the territory within a
radius of fifty niles with badly made
bad money in the last two months.
Since First Captain Flynn, head of
the New York office of the secret
service, began to round up the mem
bers of this gang in the first week of
June he has gathered in 400 or 500
counterfeit Government silver certifi-
Gates of the So denomination and about
the same number of 50 certificates.
Few bigger hauls of bad money have
been made by this office, except when
the stuff was found at raided plant
or on the persons of counterfeiters
-1rprised in getting away with their
product.
The story of the rounding up of
these Sicilian dealers in bad money is
unique, even in the varied record of
Flynns office, for not for long time
has he had to deal with so perfectly
organized a band whose business was
conducted in so business-like a man.

service people have not yet been able

this spurious money, and it is not of.

Desperate Resistance.

On the day following the arrests in
New Jersey a very busy time was had
by eleven men in Manhattan to whom
the bad green bills had led a direct
trail from the out of town points
When Flynn and some of his men
started in they had free for all fight
with eight suspects in a saloon on
Chrystie street. Before they had fin
ished the days work they had wealth
cred another fight with desperate
criminal armed with a revolver behind
the locked door of his lodgings. Fur
teen suspects in cells represented the
work of two days.
And evidence was not lacking in
most of the cases. In the trunk of one
men arrested in Newark was found
some of the counterfeit money. In the
rooms of another taken in the Man
haitian raids was rubber stamp tai
lying with the serial number marked
in red upon the bills that had been in
circulation. The green counterfeits
were also found in plenty in the eff
fects of some of the prisoners.
Ignazio Provenzano, the biggest fish
caught in the net of the secret service
on those two busy days, was, from all
the evidence, ne of those whom all
detectives most wanted-a dealer" in
the spurious certificates. Already he
has been tried in the United States
District Court of New York and sent
enced to Sing Sing. Two more dealers
and four showers are awaiting trial
in Brooklyn, two are similarly placed
in Pittsburg, in the Tombs there are
six of the middlemen in counterfeits
who await summons to the bar.
1t is a strange mixture of profess
sions that is represented by these sus-
pected counterfeit passers-and pro-
fessions is used in a double sense of
this instance. There is a woman's

rested eleven years ago when he was
trying to get rid of some spurious
Italian coin in an exchange bank.
Since the two big days of the roun-
up there have been other and scat
tering arrests both in New York and
outlying cities, but the business in s.
and So certificates is on the wane as
far as the present gang is concerned;

1t was about the third week in May |
that an Italian over in Brooklyn sent
a message through underground chan
nels to Detectives Carrao of the Italian
SQUAD at Manhattan Police Headquar-
ters. The message was important
enough to bring Carrao over into the
Brooklyn Italian quarter one night for
conference with his informant. That
conference was held behind locked
doors, for the man who had something
to whisper into the detectives ear
was a squealer-a police stool" He
feared serious consequences might
follow discovery of that meeting.

enough to send him to the secret ser
