WRONG MAN MAY
 HAVE SUFFERED
Tom Watson on Trial at Idabel, Ok, for Murder for Which Sam Col trOne Has Served Years in
 the Penitentiary.

Idabel, Ok. Sept. Tom Wat son was placed on trial in the Dis trict court here yesterday for the murder of Cicero COltrone near Hochatown, this county, who was assassinated in the spring of 1903, and for whose murder Coltrone's cousin, Sam Coltrone, was convict ed and sentenced to serve life i'm prisonment ill the federal peniten- tiary at Fort LeaVenworth. The latter is one of the chief witnesses for the state. The case is one of the most unusual in the history of the early days of the Indian terri tory.
 Sam Coltrone charges Watson as sassinated his cousin, but admits that he assisted in burying the body in a corn field. Two days after the murder he alleges Watson advised the authorities of the crime and blamed Coltrone for the deed. He was arrested, as was Watson, but later the charge against Watson was dismissed.
 Witness Is Murdered.
 Coltrone was convicted in the spring of 1907 in the federal court at Durant, Ok, after the jury de- liberated two days. A previous jury disagreed. After serving nearly six years in the penitentiary, Coltrone enlisted the aid of R. P. Saunders, an important witness in the case, to induce Watson to confess to the murder. Saunders and his son threatened to expose Watson if he declined to admit the murder Shortly afterward Saunders house was destroyed by fire and the mur- dered body of Saunders was found in the ruins.
 An investigation by the McCur- tain county grand jury led to an in- dictment being returned six months ago against Watson, charging him with the Coltrone murder. The same jury adopted a resolution asking the president to pardon Sam Coltrone. who has been paroled from the penitentiary to testify in the case.
 It is expected the case will re- duire several days before the eVi- dence is closed The state is eX- pected 10 close it's side tomorrow.

UNIONS 10 FIGHT
 PROHIBITION BILL
Declare it Sounds Death knell of the Referendum if Sustained Have Already Secured
 Attorneys.

Little Rock, Sept 28.-It was an nounced yesterday by officials of the Arkansas Federation of Labor that J. V. Bourland of Fort Smith will represent the Federation and that the legal firm of Grant & Coleman of Pine Bluff will represent the Pine Bluff Central Trades Coun- cil when the validity of the prohi- bition act of the last legislature is argued before the Arkansas Su- preme Court on October 6.
 Fhe federation officials yesterday declared that they wished it made plain that they are not fighting pro- hibition. Prohibition, they declared,
 is not a matter with which union labor is concerned.
 Would Kill Referendum.
 Union labor interests in the pres cnt litigation, they declared, is con- fined to the fact that the legisla- ture attached the emergency clause to the act, although it is not to be- come effective until January 1, 1914. Federation officials declare that if this action of the legislature is sus- tained, it practically sounds the death knell of the referendum in Arkansas.
 The present case is one of the most important ever brought be- fore the Arkansas Supreme court, " said NJ. J. McMahon, deputy com missioner of the State Bureau of Labor, yesterday. If the action of the legislature in attaching the emergency clause to this bill is up held, then the referendum amend ment might just as well be stricken | from the Arkansas constitution. A decision upholding the validity of 1 this bill would establish a prece- dent that would enable the legis- lature to attach the emergency clause to any bill it pleases, and thus defeat the will of the people.
 Would Drive Out Saloons.
 The bill, the validity of which is now in question, provides that be- fore a saloon can be established in any municipality, majority of the white adult residents must sign a petition requesting that the saloons be permitted in that municipality This would permit women to sign petitions. but would bar negroes. It was admitted by the draftors of the Ibill that this clause was included so as to make it practically impos- sible 10 maintain saloons.
 Since the labor interests are to Ialtack the validity of the emergen- ley feature of the bill it is thought probable that attorneys for the liq- uor interests will make their main assault on the feature of the bill which bars negroes from signing 1 the petitions. It will be contended Ithat this is in violation of the United States constitution.
 On the other hand, supporters of | the bill contend that regulation of the sale of liquor within a state IS left entirely 10 the state and that the state may make any regulation that if sees fit.
 The case is one of the most inn portant that has ever come before the Arkansas Supreme court and IT view of this fact the court may be asked to render a speedy decision II is said that if the liquor men lose in the state court they are planning to carry the case on up tC the United Staates Supreme court.

Laveta, Colo, Nov. 10.-One miner
and three guards from the Oakyiew
mine near here were killed when they
were ambushed while returning to the
mine.
The miner had come to Laveta to
visit dentist. When he started to re-
turn to the mine he was surrounded by
strikers, but managed to send tele-
phone appeal for aid
Three guards came to Laveta, res
cued the miner, and started for the
mine in an automobile. The party
was attacked, and in the exchange of
shots and occupants of the automobile
were killed.
Colorado Miner Shot Down.
Trinidad, Colo, Nov. 10.-Pedro
Armijo, a miner, who has been work
ing in the Aguilar district, was killed
by a shot fired from ambush on the
outskirts of Aguilar while being es-
corted out of town by marshal. The

Street Cars Run in indianapolis.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 10.-For the
first time in seven days the people of
indianapolis heard the hum of motors
and clang of the bells of street cars as
the service, interrupted by the strike
of the employees of the Indianapolis
Traction & Terminal company was
resumed. Before daylight the first
cars left the barns and by the time
that the majority of workers started
downtown nearly normal schedules
were being maintained.
In charge of the cars were the mo-
tormen and conductors who quit their
places when the company refused to
receive committee appointed to pre-
sent the grievances Of the men.
Committees Of labor men met the
interurban cars at the city limits and
assured the crews there would be no
interference in operating into the ter
minal station.
That the labor trouble in Indian
apolis and Indiana is not yet straight
ened out in spite of the fact that the
street car strike has been settled is
evident because Governor Ralston is
holding the militia here ready for duty
on the governors demand
Interurban cars resumed the usual
surface into the city, but the employees
were not included in the agreement
signed by the city men. Numerous
conferences have been held with a view
Of Strengthening this matter out, but
it is still unsettled
]. J. Thorpe, organizer for the Anal
gamated union and other labor men
were not to be found in indianapolis,
and it is believed that a movement
is on foot to tie up interurban service
at points outside of Indianapolis.

Brought Him a Fat Young Rooster
came to, he picked up a nice young
rooster and rushed away through the
woods as fast as he could go, never
stopping until he came to the home OF
the wolf.
Good morning, Mr.. Wolf" he said.
How do you do today"
The wolf growled and threatened
to give the fox a shaking for waking
him up.
I'm not feeling very good natured."
he said because I've had bad night.
Worried hard without getting a good
meal"

The wolf put on as pleasant a smile
as he could when he saw the rooster.
and thanked the fox for the pres.
emit.
I'm so hungry" said the wolf, Il
won't stop on ceremony but will make
a meal OF that young rooster at once"
While the wolf was busy devouring
the rooster the fox had his ears
pricked up listening for the hounds.
He could hear them In the distance
bowling on his trail. But the wolf
was too much taken up with the good
meal he was having to hear the
hounds.

have q friend ! am going to see over

And away he went, laughing as he
ran to think Of the trick he had play
ed on old Mr.. Wolf.
'The hounds viii follow my trail. /"
he said, up to the VOLTS den. Then
they'll get his trail. and while they are
chasing him I'll cut around and get
back home"
Presently the wolf heard the hounds.
Their cry indicated they we're coming
closer and closer. and coming very
fast.

and fool those hounds some way"
And the fox jumped up on an old
stone wall and ran little way on the
stones. then he jumped away Oh to
one side as far as he could leap out
into a pasture where there was
flock OF sheep. He ran as
fast as he could to the sheep.
or course they ran away. but
the fox overlook them. and, get
