ing companies who are very anxious
o land the plum.

DownaId Asphalt Co., of this city sub
mitted a contract In competition with
several outside concerns and his lid
being the lowest he is reasonably GER
ain of landing the job. He also re-
ceived the Endorsement of such busi-
ness and professional men of Oklaho-
ma City as Henry OveIholser, c. G.
Jones. !. S. Mahan, A. II. Classen, w.
A. Ledbetter and j. w. Shartel, who
gave assurance to the city authorities
that tie home p,oduct was as high
quality as any in the world. The
nome company, should It receive the
contract, will save the taxpayers o.
Oklahoma City ten cents per square
yard on a million dollar contract and
give the same guarantee that the
work will be as GOOD if not better.
A. w. Peckham man long fami' ar
with this kind of work and recognized
as an authority on the same, says that
the home product will last three times
as long as either Trinidad or Bermudez
asphalt. Mr.. Downard has been for
en- years organizing the asphalt in
dustry Of Oklahoma and has laid
streets in Kansas City, Fort Worth,

The above is list of citizens of
Carter county who are to decide the
fate of Jake Lewis, now on trial
in the district court for his life
for the murder of Chas. Clements,
which occurred on the night OF
the Slst OF July last.
A strenuous fight was made by
the attorneys for the defense for
a change OF venue and after they
were oyerruled by the court yes
terday afternoon the process of en-
paneling a jury was begun. The
entire venire was exhausted and
many talesmen subpoenaed and az
IL o'clock today twelve men who
were acceptable TO the state and
defense were secured.
Imcdiately following the securing
of the jury the court summoned
the Witnesses to be sworn, and as
the rule was called for by the
county attorney, Judge Russell de-
livered a lecture to the Witnesses
on the full meaning OF the term.
In closing his remarks, he said that
any witness who violated his in
structions would be severely dealt
with. He further added that if any
of the witnesses had anything on
their person that they did not de
sire the court to see that it would
be well for them to dispose of it,
as he intended having thorough
search made.
County Attorney James Mathers
then read his statement to the jury
showing what the state expected to
provo in this case, but the attor-
ney5 Eor the defense refused to
make a statement at this time.
At three o'clock this afternoon
the examination of the witnesses
will begin though it is not known
at TINS time who will be the first
witness called.

BUILT CHURCH FOR SPITE.
How a Saloon Keeper Put Rival
Out Of Business.


New York, Sept. 21.-New York
has a spite church" erected, it is
said, as a result of the business
rivalry of two saloon keepers in the
Bronx. The church, a little wooden
building, was opened for worship
yesterday with a congregation OF
thirty persons.
For some time the liquor trade in
the neighborhood has been divided
between two saloon keepers, whose
business rivalry has been keen.
There is a state law which forbids
the keeping of saloon within two
hundred feet of a church. One OF
the saloon keepers, it is said, decid-
ed that there could be no more ei-
fective way OF putting a rival out OF
business than by building a church
near enough to him to compel him
to close up when his license ran
out.
The property upon which the now
congregation will pray belongs to
the saloon keeper and was donated
by him for the purpose. The other
liquor man asserts that the struc'
ture was plainly erected to force him
out of business, and he is angry.
He declares that he will retaliate
by taking steps to build another

ExCURSlONlSTS TO STATE FAIR
AT FORT WAYNE KILLED AND
INJURED IN COLLISION.
CARS COLL|DED AT A CURVE
One of the Traction Cars Was Emp
ty and Attempted to Make a
Siding Ahead of Loaded Car,
When the TWO Collided.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept. 22.-Thir
ty-nine dead is the toll exacted by
the collision of two traction cars
on the Fort Wayne Bluffton Inter
urban road yesterday.
Officials of the company refuse
to give an opinion regarding the
responsibility.
The special car was speeding
'southward from Fort Wayne empty,
knowing that the local was ten
minutes late, and took chance
on making a siding and failed, the
two cars coming together with ter
rifle force. OF all those in the load
ed car, about sixty in number, scarce
ly one escaped deauh or injury. 1t
was a holiday crowd bound for the
state fair here.
Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept. 2l-'Forty-
two persons were killed and seven
were seriously injured in a head-on
collision between two traction cars
on the Fort Wayne-Bluffton division
OF the Fort Wayne and Wabash Val
ley line today.
The wreck occurred one and a
half miles north of Kingsland an
seven miles north of Bluffton at a
sharp curve. The cars in collision
We're a northbound local car, crowd
ed to the steps, which left Bluffton

Mrs. w. d. Burgan, Bluffton, brok-
en- leg and numerous body wounds.
B. T. Corkwell, Fort Wayne, mo-
torman, scalp wounds.
The collision is presumed TO have
been caused by misunderstanding
of orders in regard to the south
bound extra car taking switch
near Kingsland so that the north
bound car could pass it,
The motormen of the two cars
did not have time 10 set brakes
when they sighted each other. The
heavily loaded northbound car was
crushed and the bodies of the dead
and injured were strewn on either
side of the track amid the wreck
age. The screams of the injured men
and women following the crash of
the cars brought the neighborhood
farmers to the scene
Conductor Shiller OF the south
bound car was unhurt and ran back
toward Kingsland and tagged a car
from indianapolis which was ap-
proaching the wreck at full speed
and otherwise would have plunged
into it, adding to the list of the
killed and injured in the collision.
Wrecking cars and physicians were
rushed from Fort Wayne and Bluff
ron and the bodies of the dead and
injured were conveyed TO hospitals
in the two cities.
Just what caused the wreck no
one yet has offered a clear eX-
planation. At 1856, if the train LEFT
on schedule, a regular train, con-
sisting of one car left Bluffton for
Fort Wayne. At practically the same
hour. a single motor car left Fort
WAYNE for Bluffton to pick up a
load of passengers to bring back
to Fort Wayne for the county fair
at Fort Wayne.
Some one made a mistake. At
Kingsland. eighteen miles south OF
Fort Wayne, the cars met.
Those who were in the accident
can tell little of what actually oc-
CURED. In the extra car were no
passengers. In the regular local
we're probably fifty-fiye or sixty
passengers. OF these, few escaped
death or injury.
The northbound car was in charge
of Motorman c. Vandine and Con
ductor E. A. Spiller; the south
bound car was in charge of Benja-
min Corkwell and conductor Dan
iel Wilson.
The accident occurred on a curve.
On both sides, particularly on that
tangent approaching from the north,
there was curve screened by
dense wods. Bearing down from the
north came the empty passenger
car. Speeding toward Fort Wayne
was the coach filled with men and
women, bent on a merry making
day or two at the Allen County
Fair.
