Marshal Horton made a good
catch Tuesday when he got five

a store had been burglarized at
Labette City. Horton got busy,
and in a short time had arrested
Chas. Mansfield, Joseph Connor,
w. C. Anderson, Homer Buck
shorn, Geo. Kelley. Some of the
stolen goods was found in their
possession, and it was learned
that some more of the property
had been disposed of at Narcissa.

the culprits, and Tuesday night

Your Own Fault.

Do you know it is largely your
own fault because the cost of liv-
ing is so high for you? Next
spring put in a little garden and
raise some of your living. You
will enjoy the work, and besides
you will have things fresh every
time you want them. You have
no idea how much it will save
you in the course of the spring
and summer, And the satisfac-
tion of producing something you
can use is worth something to
you.

car heating in cold weather. A
Peter Smith heater is placed in
the baggage room and connected
to both car heating system and
radiator, so that the car may be
kept warm and all water from
freezing when car is standing in
yards or stations, and not under
power.
The gasoline supply is carried
in two 30-gallon steel tanks and
is fed by gravity to the engine.
The storage capacity is ample
for more than a days run.
An important consideration to
the railroad company was the
possibility of operating the Au-
tomotrice from either end at
will. The rear platform of each
car is supplied with duplicate
controller, air valves. etc. The
controller is arranged in such a
manner as to give the motorman
control over the engine, as we'll
as the electric current generated
by the group.

Station Hoped For.

Whether the advent of the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf rail-
road into Joplin will mean the
erection of a new passenger sta
ton at Tenth and Main streets,
Herman L. Traber, ofMuskogee,
Okla, general freight and pas
seuger agent of the M. o. & G.,
who was in Joplin Saturday, was
unable to state. He said service
over the M. o. & G. into Joplin
would start by January 1, and
that the Missouri Pacific station
would be used jointly with the
Missouri Pacific.
AS this station is already in
adequate to meet the demands
even of the one road entering
there, it is thought the entrance
of the new railroad may result in
much needed improvements being
made.
Mr.. Taber stated that motor
cars will be in general use along
the entire route of the new rail-
rail. The first motor car to be
installed on the road runs from
Henryetta to Muskogee, a dis
tance of As miles. Beginning
this morning a second motor will
be placed in service between
Wapanucka, Okla, and Denison
Tex, a distance of 81 miles.
Four more motor cars are to be
placed in service. and at least
one of these will be run into
Joplin.
One steam train is to leave
Joplin early in the morning for
Denison, reaching the latter place
about 10 p. m. Mr.. Taber met
with officials of the Commercial
Club Saturday and requested
them to make any suggestions
they desired concerning the train
schedule. Mr.. Traber thought
1t likely that one of the regular
steam trains would leave each
day about Z a. m, returning
about 10 p. N, In the interval
q motor car service will be main
taiued between Joplin and Mus
kogee.
The company has now com.
pleted its roadbed into Baxter
Springs, and at the Lincolnville
crossing a new concrete station
has been constructed which would
do credit to a small city. In
fact, the little station set out on
the prairies of Oklahoma, ale
most a mile and a half from the
little mining camp of Lincoln
Vile, is a much more attractive
building than is the old, worn
out Missouri Pacific passenger
station at Tenth street, this city.

AutOnIOtriCeS.
New Type Of Cars to be Used by
the N. o. 6.

electric railway motor car, to be
used on the M. o. G. in and out
of this city, appears in the No
vember number of Electric
Traction:
The Missouri, Oklahoma d.
Gulf Railroad Company has de-
cided to equip several of its lines
with the Drake gasoline-electric
railway automotrice, which has
been in use the last seven years
on the Arad-Csanad railway in
Hungary, with a total OF more
than 100000 Car mile records
of service.
The lines of the Missouri, Ok
lahoma G. Gulf road to be equipt
with the new Automatrice ex-
tend from Joplin, Mo-, to Deni-
son, Texas. The first run es-
tablished is from Muskogee, Ok.'
TO Henrietta, Okla, a distance OF
50 miles. Two cars will be used
on this run, ? hours and Is min
utes being the schedule adopted.
Another run which also requires
two of these cars is from Durant
to Denison, thirty miles. A
more intense service will be es-
tablished between Muskogee and
Wagner, where hourly depart
ures probably will be adopted.
The Automotrice adopted IS
the Dracar, designed and sup
piled by the Drake Railway Au-
tomotrice Company of Chicago.
The length over bumpers is 80
feet, and the width over all is y
feet and 6 inches. The car is
divided into compartments tor
engine group, baggage, colored
and first class. The car body is
constructed with composite steel
and wood underframe with wood
superstructure. The trucks are
M. C. B. standard, the forward,
or driving truck being strength
eued to carry the weight of two
Westinghouse No. 3O5 interpole
motors and the power equipment
and accessories. The total
weight of the Car complete is
$4,000 pounds.
The passenger capacity is ar
ranged for IA colored and 80 first
class, the seats being individual
reversible chairs, upholstered in
plush. Each passenger COM
partment is provided with toll
ct room.
The interior is in mahogany,
dull finish, while the arch ROOT is
suitably decorated. The parti-
tion separating the two classes OF
passengers, to comply with the
state law, has a swing door and
NAV be removed at will. Con-
tinuous package racks are pro-
vided. The lighting OF the car
will be by means of 3O-volt
metal lamps, fed by storage bat
tery, while the headlights will
be of the electric arc type.
The power equipment consists
of a gasoline engine directly
connected to an electric genera
tor; suitable motors on the driV-
ing truck and the necessary con-
trollers and accessories.
The engine is rated at 80
horse power at $50 revolutions.
There are six cylinders, 14O K 16O
millimeters, cast in pairs. This
engine is connected by flexible
coupling to a 55-killowatt 500
6OO-volt interpole generator. A
special steel base combines both
units and by which means the
group is attached to the floor and
underframe or the Car. The de-
sign of the power group enables
it to be placed across the car,
thus economizing space. The
engine room requires but 2 feet
3 inches of the cars length.
Ample room is afforded for plac-

DEATH OF MARY bonner

Miss Mary Bonzer died at the
home of her brother on Friday
September 18th, after a long H.
lness. Some years ago she re-
sided in this city and taught a
school near here. Later she went
to South Dakota and then to Het-
finger, N. D., where she engaged
in the millinery business.
Last spring she was ailing and
consulted several specialists to
find relief, but they were unable
to cope with her malady. She
came to this city and remained
at the home of her brother, A. F.
Pioneer, where everything was
done to relieve her suffering that
was possible.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon from the M. E.
church, Rev. Bennett delivering

Joseph is 20 years old, tall, ath

The married life of Mr.. and Mrs
