AFTER Rain
Are SOFT

If J Pluyius had not repaired the
leak just when he did. the railroad
traffic in the vicinity Of Chickasha
might have suffered materially, and
while the schedules were not severely
altered on account OF the rain. the
condition Of the tracks was becoming
such that slow time was necessary to
prevent accidents.
There were no washouts reported on
any Of the roads out Of Chickasha but
wherever the trackage passed through
lowlands. the roadbeds, it is said, were
becoming exceedingly soft. making
schedule time almost impossible. The
main line Of the Rock Island suffered
the smallest inconvenience, while
trains on the Mangum and Lindsay
branches OF that road were late. owing
to the condition OF the roadbed.
The Oklahoma Central suffered but
little except On the east end Of the
road, near Byars and on to Ada. That
section is low and the roadbed was
rendered extremely soft. So far. no
accidents have occurred on any of the
reads in the immediate vicinity.
The Frisco office here reports no
trouble ON their lines OF this division.

ate. The defeat of the federals in
their retreat from Juarez is known to
have placed great quantities Of arms
