Oklahoma Trains.

Several years ago. when a CARRIER.
okla. gentleman on the return trip from
Billings eoughed his false teeth through
the open window Of a flying express
train and the train was halted and
backed up a mile or two while the crew
and passengers organized a posse and
searched until the missing teeth were
found, it was thought that the limit in
such adventures had been reached. But
not so. gentle reader. Listen to this one
as you viii see. For Queerness and
uniqueness. a stunt pulled off between
CARRIER and Enid last week, we think.
has the false teeth episode put away in
a box, wrapped IN crepe. A coyote, run
ming ahead OF the train in question, ply
ing betv cen CARRIER and Enid, attracted
the notice OF the engineer and fireman.
Nile after mile It logged and eapered
along in front OF the locomotive in the
most tantalizlng manner. and when the
engineer put on a little more steam in an
endeavor TO run it down the coyote sim
ply awoke from ustlessness and pro-
ceeded TO gallop along in race-horse
fashion under double wraps. After the
coyote had taken HIS regular morning
exercise IN the manner here related, he
just turned about, looked at the engine
square in the face, and hopping down
the embankment at the side OF the track,
entered a convenient culvert The engi-
neer and fireman noticed this movement
and stopped the train, while the crew
and passengers. who had already alight-
ed. divided into two parties and hammed
in the coyote on all sides Mr. Coyote
was poked out alive. trussed with a
piece OF wire from a nearby barbed wire
fence, placed upon the train. and taken

yearly celebration OF that festival. is

servance In England dates back TO the
middle ages. and to-day in that country
egg-rolling is as big an event as it ever
was. The Easter egg-rolllng at Preston,
near Liverpool, was observed with great
animation this spring IN Avenham Park,
over 5000 children participating The
slopes of the valley in the park were
thronged with joyous young people, either
rolling their colored eggs or engaged in
miniature battle with them. At the close
of the festival the grass was fairly buried
beneath a carpet Of egg shells, orange
peel. and other debris. Undoubtedly we
have followed the example of England
in the matter Of egg-rolling. as We have
IN many another weighter matter, and

to time dimmed by distance We are

ARCHITECT ADMITS
COPPER SHORTAGE
At ASYLUM PROBE
Testifies Before Overlook Com.
mission That Flashing Did
Not Meet Specifications.

That seven inches of copper flashing
was placed on building No. 2, of the
Overbrook Insane Asylum group, in
stead of ten inches, as called for by the
specifications, was admitted by Fred
erick S. sutton, of Hurd & Sutton, the
architects for the buildings before the
appraisal commission yesterday.
Mr.. sutton further said that this
change had been made on the advice
of the contra tors, who found that the
.ten-inch flashing was not needed on the
building and that the surplus could be
well used on some porches that were
o Included in the specifications.
This loss had been reported by an
investigating committee in 1907, Mr..
Sutton said. He also told the COM
mission that the three inches Of fash
ing not used on the roof of building No.
2 had beer used on several porches.
Benjamin F. Hurd was again before
the commission yesterday and spent
considerable time in going over the
details of the architects Aplans and
subsequent changes, especially such as
affected the cost of the group. One
thing under examination was the in
creased cost, If any, Of the change in
the steam pipes which In the first plan
were to be placed underground in
wooden boxes, but which were later
placed in brick tunnels. Mr.. Hurd did
not have the figures with him, but will
provide them at a later meeting.
Mr.. Hurd told the commission that
the plans for the buildings were pre-
pared in his office, and that further
details of the heating, ventilating and
lighting systems had been evolved
from the plans. He said an engineer
had been employed for this latter part
If the work on the authorization of the
Board of Freeholders. MI. Hurd fur
ther said that he believed the con
struction OF the brick instead OF
wooden tunnels for heating and plumb
ing pipes had saved money for the
county.
