LONG DRAWN OUT

the Dan Sanders Case Goes
to the Jury.

The case of Dan Sanders, colored
charged with the murder of Ellis
Sales, negro boy, near Centralia. was
given to the jury shortly after one
O'Clock today.
This case has occupied the atten-
tion OF the court all Of this week, and
has been marked by several legal tilts
between County Attorney Brady and
the attorneys for the defense. The
examination of witnesses was COM
pleted this morning, and the argu-
ments finished about one o'clock, the
court holding over until Mr.. Brady
could conclude the argument for the
state.

case is next on call, but as one Of the
witnesses for the defense is sick, it
is believed the attorneys for Parks
will ask for continuance.

The History of the Vinita
Electric Light Company

The history of the Vinita Electric
Light Company may be said to begin
properly in -yoy 1899, when a fran.
chise was granted by the city of Vinita
to the Vinita Electric Light and Pow
er Company. Construction was at
once begun and on April 5, 1900, serv-
ice was offered to consumers.
The, at the time, latest type of dyna-
mo was installed but the development
of electrical machinery had not yet
reached high grade Of efficiency and
the installation proved an expensive
failure.
The light regulation from this ma
chine was very poor; the lights were
either up or down, and occasionally
out. This sort of service was unsatis-
factory both to the consumer and to
the company. Another mistake made
at the start was an attempt to run on
fiat rates. No company can run on
fiat rates and do justice either to them
selves or the public, because while
some people paid for all the current
they used, some paid for more than
they used and at the same time there
were many who used much more than
the fiat rate paid for.
In Jan. 1902, the plant was sold ard
began again under new management.
The first thing to be done was to
get the plant in better running order;
and early in 1908, larger dynamo
and engine were installed at cost of
several thousand dollars. The old
dynamo was sold for junk, bringing
about one hundred dollars for what
had cost some two thousand dollars
only three years before.
It was also found necessary to re-
place the boilers on account of the cor
rosive action of the artesion water.
The first boilers had to be sold for
junk and new boilers of different
type suited to the use of artesian
