her daughter. There had been no L.

His reputation is not of the best, and
this is not the first time that he has
been in the tolls Of the law.
Hurt had telephoned the girl to
meet him at the depot in Columbia
Saturday afternoon. Instead of going
to meet him, they informed the Sher-
if where he could be found, and the
arrest followed.

He has as his assistant Mr.. Reeder
who was chief engineer with the Ok

that the engineering corps was com
posed of fifteen fine looking young
men stationed at Lawton and equip.
ped with tents and everything neces-
sary to take the field. They were to
begin the work of making the survey
out of Lawton yesterday morning at
I o'clock. Two surveys will be made

from here to Duncan.
Five miles of the construction work

soon as the survey has been finally
made out of Lawton active grading
will be begun at the end of the line.
II is confdentally expected that the
first dirt will be thrown on the morn
ing the 18th of July.
Mr.. Sutton said the locating engi-
neer had instructions to take both
cheapness of construction and also
the matter of tonnage into consider
alton in making the final location of
the line and he hopes TO pass through
both the oil and asphalt fields in the
western portion of this county and
the building of the road means the
development of these two industries
in this county. This end of the road
will be a paying proposition from the
first day of its operation said Mr.. SUIT
ton yesterday. He also stated that
within fifteen days from now there
will not be man along the entire
line that will doubt the sincerity of
the company in building and equipping
the road at as early a date as it is
possible to do the work.
BY automobile the stockholders left
here yesterday evening for Waurika
where they will take the train direct
to Lawton and from there Mr.. Sutton
will at once return to his home in
