ARDMORE AND WAUR|KA RY. COMPANY
HAS BEEN GRAM TEDA STATE CHARTER

Following closely upon the heels
Of the Ringing Hamon proposition
TO build a line of steam railroad to
the west of Ardmore and to connect
with the Rock Island somewhere be
tween Chickasha and Ryan comes
the proposition of .H ter and
more to Waurika. Z Ardmore =
Waurika Railroad tmpany was
granted a charter yesterday afternoon
by Secretary of State Ben Harrison.
Mr. Carter wants to secure the right
of way which was segregated some
years ago by the Frisco and which
extends west out of this town by way
of Lone Grove, Hewitt, Joiner and
Cornish In order to secure the right
of way he invokes the right of emf
nent domain and seeks to condemn
the property. Holding that the FTis-
co has forfeited the right of way he
concludes that the adjoining property
owners are entitled to the ownership
and possession of the right OF way
and during the past week Col. F c.
Hand, the engineer who surveyed the
Oklahoma Central for Mr.. Carter,
has had a corps of engineers out on
the right of way. Instead of survey
ing a line they have been ascertain
ing the description of the lands ad-
joining the survey and the promoters
have compiled the names of those
persons who own the property adjoin-
ing the right of way Taking the
legal view of the matter that the
land included in the right of way be-
comes the property of abutting land
owners Mr.. Carter seeks to condemn
the lands as against tnem. rnesu
property owners have paid nothing
for such right, they are anxious
to see the railway built and would
be content with sum merely to
satisfy the law and make the con |
demnation legal.
Whether the Frisco will set up
claim to the property and resist the
condemnation is onother question |
