TION ASKING THAT SHE
RECEIVE SIC 200 DAMAGE

Tn less than ten days after Earl
Williams, negro, was killed by a
freight engine in the Frisco yards.
his widow Mezzie Williams, through
her attorney, Luther James filed
suit in the Superior Court for s1O,-
damages against the St Louis and
San Francisco Railroad. The suit
was filed yesterday.
on the afternoon of August 81,
1911, Williams was struck by a
freight engine backing through the
yards, and suffered injuries that re-
suited in his death few hours later.
Samuel Fivecoat, engineer of the
locomotive that struck Williams, is
also named as a defendant In the
suit.
The petition alleges that Williams
met his death through carlessness on
the part of the railroad company:
that the railroad did not have a
watcher on the rear of the engine
as required by law when backing
through the yards; and that VIII
liams had a perfect right on the
tracks as the tracks are constructed
on a public street.

MIDLAND VALLEY TO
DISCONTINUE TRAIN
TULSA TO PAWHUSKA SPECIAL
TAKEN FROM SERVICE ON
NEXT SUNDAY.

The Midland Valley Railroad Will
on next Sunday. discontinue its Tulsa
TO Pawhuska train. This announce
mcnt was made yesterday by the local
office of the Midland Valley. The
reason for taking off this train, It
is thought, is the fact that travel on
the line is not sufficient to warrant
the continuance of the service. The
Midland Valley has been running
three trains each way every day, but
the officials of the road have decided
that the traffic can be handled just
as well with two trains.
The Pawhuska train, which will
make its last trip today has been
leaving Tulsa at G:05 o'clock in the
morning, and returning at 6 o'clock
in the evening.
The heiviest traffic on the Midland
Valley out of Tulsa is between here
and Muskogee, and the present SER
vice between these two points will
continue the same as at present.
The train to be discontinued was
put into service about year ago by
the Midland drought the earnest So
licitation Of the Commercial Club and
the leading oil men and citizens of
Tulsa. The Katy began running an
extra train at about the same time.

A FISH STORY THAT

OF INNOCENCE.

Speaking of fish stories, here's one

affidavit to It's authenticity The
story follows:
Years ago, old Jim Lopler, who
owned a dam that furnished the pow

Muskogee, conceived the idea that the
big Arkansas catfish going through
the mill race and onto the water

a man with an ACCORDION to stand

to hear the music, and almost in
evitably drifted through the race, on

The fish's horns used to get entang-

year or two he had large herd of

ANYHOW, WHY IS
A RAID PUT ON?
H. ;, HARDY SUES NS RESULT or
ALLEGED RAID.
ASKS DAMAGE OF S255
Gambling Apparatu. Was imperative,
ana the Cntsup Was IIarming
No one.

When is an enforcement officer
not an enforcement officer?
When is gambling outfit not
gambling outfit?
When is raid not a raid?
Ihese are few of the questions
that Judge ", A. BRECKENRIDGE on
the Superior Court viii have to pass
on at the trial term OF the Superior
Court as result of a unique suit
filed Yesterday by u, M. Martindale,
attorney for II. s, Hardy, alleged crst-
while boutleggcr, against S. II. Lewis,
attorney and alleged deputy state en-
forcemcnt officer.
Hardy asks for damages amount
ing to S225 from Lewis for alleged
depredations committed by Lewis
and some other enforcement officers
when they raided the Hardy place in
Cherokee Heights on July 3lst. last
ON a search warrant issued by
County Judge Gubser Lewis and two
or three others, who held deputy
state enforcement officers commits
sions, went to the Hardy place on
the night OF July 81 The warrant
authorized them to seize any liquors
found on the place, According to
the returns made on the search war
rant, the raidng party found no one
in possession of the place and found
no liquor.
According to the petition filed
against Lewis Yesterday, the search
ers did find some gambling parapher-
MALTA, which they proceeded to hack
to pieces. Hardy alleges in his suit
that this gambling stuff was not set
up for use, and was in storage ana
therefore could not have been con-
flscated, much less broken up.
The list of gambling apparatus al
legged to have destroyed, included one
roulettee wheel, valued at $175; one
table and layout, valued at $50;
800 poker chips, valued at $3.50; and
one chip rack. valued at $3.50.
The petition also alleges that Lewis
found q bottle of catsup in the room
and proceeded to smash 1t on tho
wall, thus damaging the wall to the
amount of $500.
Hardy asks the court to render a
Judgment in his favor to the amount
of s255, which amount he claims he
was damaged by illegal actions OF
lewis.
The petition states that Lewis has
not authority to act in the capacity
he did; that he illegally destroyed the
gambling paraphernalia fonnd there,
even though it was not in use and
contrary to the law which requires
that such stuff shall be confiscated
by special order of the court.
This suit promises many interesting
developments when it becomes an is
sue in the courts.

RURAL SCHOOL NEEDS SHOWN
BY PROF. TATE.

Inspector OF Elementary Rural
chools Delivered Interesting Ad-
Dress ut Dillon.
prof. w. K. Tate, inspector of
rmentary rural schools, has been
, the county for several days in
Iecting the schools of the county.
te delivered an address in Dillon
saturday advocating the principles
which he hopes to see inaugurated
i'm the country schools. He main
tanned that a country school should
net undertake high school work
aud that rural teachers should
hold their positions longer in the
same place. Also that they should
adapt their work to the community
which they serve; that they should
have expert supervision through a
competent supervisor, and that the
standard of the rural teacher should
be raised, meaning that more col
lege folks should hold these i'm
portant positions than at present.
He stressed the fact that If the
rural schools were what they ought
to be there would not be the influx
OF the farming people into the.
town, thereby depriving the coun-
try districts of a splendid citizen
ship, which 1t 80 much needs.

While We are talking about this
corn championship we want to rise
to ask again the unanswered ques-
tion why do not the farmers all
over the country make use OF the
same means OF cultivation of corn
that the boys who win these prizes
use? We can see no use OF walking
a mule and a man to death to make
a small yield Of corn on q large
number of acres by the old plans
when a greater amount can be made
on a very much smaller acreage,
and not working man and mule in
to the grave. Jerry Moore tells us
that the corn he made on his prize
acre cost less than the other corn
made on the plantation, but the
plantation Is still run on the same
old expensive plan and 999 out of
1000 plantations in the State are
run in the same way, and we are
willing to bet that the Mcdonald
plantation will be run on the same
plan next year, though it may be
seen that the corn made on this
acre, If it were multiplied by two or
three, would be all that was wanted
and corn that costs 33-1-3 cents a
bushel and sells for 81, or even less
looks like mighty good profit to
US. We want to see that farmers
exchange established in this county,
and then there would be more of
all this sort of things raised, and
the farmers would be better off and
the whole people would be better
off.
