L GLovERsvILLE, N. y, Oct. '27.-The
second murder was charged to Edward
Baker, the desperate who killed Nor

had been shot by Baker, died today In

An armed guard was put over the

Federal Prisoners

President Taft has exercised leniency

against the oleomargarine law They
are william Bradwell and Samuel A.
Driesbach, of Chicago.
They were sentenced to six years

They have served about a year and
half. Because they have given the
Government valuable information as to
manufacturers who were violating the
law, and who dragged them into the
business, the President has commuted
their sentences to expire at once.

FRIENDS
ACADEMY
MAY BE BUILT IN THIS
CITY NEXT YEAR

Thursday morning, Fred john
son, who is secretary of the Acad-
envy board at Fowler, and E. w.
Frazier of Fowler, we're in Lib
eral to Investigate the possibility
of building a Friends Academy in
Liberal. The proposition Of erect
ing q church here has been dis
cussed by a number of the Friends
here during the past few weeks,
and the coming Of Mr.. johnson
was in response so a letter inquir-
ing about the Academy at Fowler.
The advantage of the Academy
would have over the church would
be that the school building could
be used for both church and
school, while a church would be
used for worship only. The Acad-
emy would bring a number of pu-
pills to the town here for the
school year, and the establishment
of such school here would be a
drawing card for Friends who in
tend to move to the west during
the coming year.
In the event that the Academy
does not receive encouragement
here, it is very probable that a
number of Friends and their fami-
lies will leave this territory with
in the next few years. AS class
there is no better sect of people
than the Friends, and at the pres
ent time, there is every indication
that a school will be built here
within the next year. A meeting
of a few of the Liberal boosters
was held in the Democrat Office
Thursday morning, and the prop
osition for the school here was
discussed and explained by Mr..
johnson. Every Liberal man at
the meeting was for the Academy
here, and we believe such aprop-
osition will receive the strong sup
port of the town.

COMING ALONG
RAILROAD MAY REACH
LIBERAL IN SIX
MONTHS

The latest news of the Wichita
Falls & Northwestern in this sec
ton of the country is that a town
hae been started about seven miles
north of Beaver City and nine
miles east of Floris. Parties who
are said to have been working eor
the railroad have bought five
quarter sections of land where the
new town is TO be located, and it is
near the farm of J. w. Under
Wood who has lived in Beaver
county for a number of years.
The new town site of Gate, Ok
Iahoma, was located last week at a
point about one mile southwest of
the present town. About 23O
acres are owned by the railroad
people there, and the town is to be
plated and laid off at once. Now
the question with the people of
Gate is (which will get there first
the town are the road. However,
Gate if full of boosters, and they
have gone after this railroad prop
osition and should have consider
able credit for doing so.
The Woodward Democrat last
week had this to say Of the pro-
gress of the new railroad:
The new engine for the new
road has arrived and is busy con-
veying steel along the route Of the
road to Supply from Woodward.
The indications are that actual
running operations will begin
sooner than expected. 1t was
stated early this week by one of
the officials that they would com
mence to run by the first of De-
cember. The new engine and about
forty cars came in early Sunday
afternoon. A run was made to
the end Of the track, distance Of
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-11-17

something over two miles. A
number of citizens were on the
train and a good deal of entbus-
iasm was manifested over the
prospects for the new road run
ming into Woodward IN the very
near future. For miles and miles
in every direction, north and
south, camps are located and dirt
is flying all along the line, thick
and fast.
1t is indeed gratifying to those
in Liberal who have been carefully
watching every movement of the
Wichita Falls road for the past
nine months to know that their
early predictions are coming true.
The Democrat was the first to tell
of the new road and has kept the
general public informed every
week of the progress that had
been made. The grading camps
are now up near LaVerne, Okla,
which is a point about half way
between Woodward and Liberal
The right of way has been secured
te the point first above mentioned,
north Of Beaver city, and the sur
vey is said to be complete to that
point. On account of the severe
weather the surveying gang will
retire soon for the balance of the
winter. As there is so much real
construction work to be done be-
fore the right way is surveyed, it
is probable that Liberal will not
be given a proposition before the
opening of spring.
Mr., Frank Kell, who is the gen.
eral manager of the road was in
Liberal the first of the week, and
drove out of this city to. the sur
yeing camps in Beaver county.
After his return in the evening,
he refused to discuss the matter,
saying that when he was ready to
talk with Liberal people regarding
the road he would come to them and
until such a time he would have
nothing to say of the road or the
proposed route. j. W. Baugh-
man, who has had considerable
correspondence with Mr.. Kell,
called on him in the evening at the
