Oklahoma City, Mar 14.-With the
aid of 500 armed citizens acting as
deputies of Sheriff Jack Spain, sta
toned on the streets and upon the tops
of several business buildings, street
car service was resumed here at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon without any
serious disturbances and with no de-
struction of property. The strike was
settled Saturday, but it was feared
that the rowdy element not controlled
by any union, which caused the for
mer agreement to be violated, would
again cause trouble. To avoid this,
Sheriff Spain, at the request of the
Commercial Club, placed the matter
of restoring order in the hands of the
citizen deputies. Traffic had been COM
pletely tied up since a week ago Sun
day.
