ADVERTIsWf TRAIN FROM
EASTERN OKLAHOMA TOWNS

The Tulsa Democrat in its issue Of
Friday, February 3. says:
F. P. Sutherland, secretary of the
Commercial Club, says that the train
to be sent by the Frisco the latter part
of March from Muskogee for the pur-l
pose of advertising eastern Oklahoma
will be a great advertising scheme for
this town, for it has almost become q
fact that the greatness Of this state
partly comes from the greatness of
Tulsa, and whenever Oklahoma is men
toned in other states the first express
sion is: There are great opportuni-
ties in Tulsa" OF course some other
towns are mentioned, but Tulsa is as
well known as any of the other places,
regardless Of size and age.
The train will go as far east as
Pennsylvania and as far north as Chi
Icago, ard viii be purely an advertis-
ing expedition.

CRAFT PURCHASED
TICKET TO v|N|TA
Friends OF Tool Dresser on Starts
Drilling Crew Fear Man Met With
Foul Play En- Route Here.

j. G. Starr has been trying for some
time to locate one of the tool dressers
on the big drill Mr.. Craft took vaca-
ton for the holidays upon the compile
ton of the artesian we'll at Frohawk
for jamie Patton Hall and was to re-
turn the first week in January. His
wife lives in Pennsylvania and when
he did not return in January a tele-
gram was sent to him and the reply
was given that Craft left his home in
Pennsylvania on January 25th, 1911,
and had purchased a through ticket to
Vinita. At the time Craft should have
arrived in Vinita nothing more was
heard of him and nothing has been
heard of him since Fred Thomas, a
toll dresser has been working temp
orarily with Driler Wetstine on the
afternoon tower from noon until mid
night so as to keep the machine going
day and night and it has been expect
ed that Craft would arrive at any mo
ment. Letters of inquiry and tele
grams have been received from Penn
sylvania and Mrs. Craft is making
every effort possible to locate Mr.
Craft. It Is feared that he has met
with foul play some where on the road
Mr.. Starr says that Craft is strictly
sober and Industrious young man, has
excellent habits, owes nobody and is il
good financial circumstances and sc
far as can be seen there is no cause
for his disappearance unless 1t be fou

The house discussed the district at

One bill was passed finally, the Sor-

number of measures were hurriedly
passed to the third reading in an ef-
fort to clear the house calender
The debate on the capital commits

rights of two boards to exist, where
many members declared there was
need for only one.

of Oklahoma is well adapted to the

passed a joint resolution proposing a
new capital contract Friday afternoon.
The resolution was amended at the
suggestion of Senator Hatchett of Du-
rant to provide that the old $4,000
contract should not be annulled until
the new agreement had been closed
between the building of public affairs
and the citizen capital expense COM
mittee.
The new contract proposed makes
the citizens capital expense commit
tee liable to the extent of S71 200 on
which the rent of state offices for the
coming year will have the first claim
Should there be any left, the resolu-
ton preferred claim is to reimburse
the state s3,450 paid Judge C. r. Stuart
of McAlester for his services in the
capital litigation.
The expense of the removal of the
offices and equipment from Guthrie
occupies the third preferred place in
the contract and Senator Eggerman
was frank to say that he believed the
first three items would exhaust the
company's liability.
However, lest there should be a
lsurplus, even the new contract speci-
fled that attorneys fees connected with
the Oklahoma City side of the capital
Litigation should have fourth claim,

for $4,000, which he advanced the old

n Grin6O'S View of Bull Fight.

Iministration of a sudden revolutionary
movement.
In an deliberately decorated stall sal
Porfirio Diaz with his suite and family
and also the family of Senior Limantour
who was Secretary of the Treasury
under President Diaz.
The first bull that was released went
through the ordinary course of sprouts
first goring a broken down race horse
which had seen service on many of the
tracks in the States and was used in the
bull ring only because he was a thorough
bred. Finally he was put to death by a
stab between the shoulders, which para
lyzed his spine.
The second entrant was a little black
fellow full of fire, which had been espe-
cially raised on the big ranch of Governor
Tirazzos. Between the tOril c'pen'O and
the ring there was a short alley, just wide
enough to allow the bulls to get through
without rubbing the hair from their
TANKS. Leaning over the boards which
formed the sides of the passageway was
a Mexican negro, who, when the little
bull was showed out of the tori, jabbed
Ia fishhook ''barbo" into his left shoulder,
which maddened the animal to such an
extent that he hardly knew which way
to turn, so eager was he to locate his
enemy.
Springing ten or dozen yards toward
the centre of the ring the frenzied Great
ure stopped short, spread his trout feet
out as far as he could and madly paved
the ground. In his shoulder the wicked
barb still stuck. and To It were fastened
q big yellow rOsette and half dozen red
streamers trailing the ground.
Presently q volunteer novice "torero"
(bull tighter on foot) jumped over the
fence on the north side Of the ring and ad-
van cd few feet toward the defiant bull.
One Haunt of the torero's red bandera
(banner) and the bull became a demon.
With head down he rushed at the novice,
who meanwhile had lost his nerve, for he
stood quaking with fear when he should
have been advancing to meet the onrush-
ing animal When the latter was only
twenty yards away the volunteer dropped
the bandera and espada (sword) and put
for the fence as fast as be could 90. The
fence was about four feet high, and the
torero cleared it in straightway dive
The poor bull was not 80 fortunate, al
though he was game enough to attempt the
fence in his mad effort TO catch his tor
mentor. He landed on top Of the boards
and stuck there. with his hind legs in the
air until he was released by some attend
ants who ventured from the other side of
the ring
The crowd by this time was going mad.

cries Of Cobardo! Podndol Putrefac-
