Mckinney filed suits in the district
court of Bryan county, Oklahoma,

ers engaged in digging a tunnel for
the J. S. Terry Construction company.
in the town of Caddo, Oklahoma, in
the construction of the sewer system.
1t is claimed that the tunnel is bs-
ing Gag in sections, that snaf is
first dug to the required depth from
the surface of the earth, and then TIM
nelline starts from both sides of the
shaft IN opposite directions, that sew
fral sections are in course Of con-
struction at once. Plaintiffs claim
that while they were engaged I'm 30
digging, that as the heads of two sec
tions of the tunnel neared each other
that they could hear the men in tho
section which they were approaching
preparing to blast, it being necessary
to do considerable blasting trough
rock, etc, and fearing that the blast
would blow through the head separ-
ating the two sections of tunnel, they
requested the foreman to allow them
to leave the tunnel and to get out on
top of the ground, which the foreman
refused to do.
That when the shot was fired, the
blast tore down the separating parti-

PLUMBERS STRIKE IN DENIsON.

A plumbers strike was declared
early Monday in Denison and Sherman
and twenty-four journeymen plumb
ers walked out. The strike was call
ed by President II. Rachel after the
master plumbers Of the two towns had
refused to grant an increase in wages.
Under a contract signed three years
ago the plumbers of Denison and
Sherman were to receive $5 for each
day of eight hours. This contract ex-
pired Saturday night. Some days ago
the plumbers presented contracts to
the employers of Sherman and Deni-
son asking for Sc day. This the
master plumbers refused to grant, but
made a counter offer of $3.50 for eight
hours. This was not accepted by the
plumbers and the strike was ordered
today.

ASSAULT IN DINING ROOM.
W. A. Reynolds Charged With Assault
TO Kill, As Result OF Attacking
Bud Holland With Pistol.


AS the outcome of striking w. f.
(Bud) Holland over the head with the
muzzle OF As calibre revolver, while
Holland was at supper in the Atwood
dining room Thursday evening, W. A.
Reynolds is charged with assault with
intent to kill, and a warrant is out for
his arrest, which had not been return
ed as the Advertiser went to press.
No reason for Reynolds action has
been given.
The story of the affair as told by an
eye witness to the reporter, is about
as follows:
Holland, who is cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants bank at Ach-
lille had gone with Harve Williamson
of Colbert to the Atwood for supper,
and were eating when the affair took
place. The narrator stated that he
observed Mr.. Reynolds walk excitedly
into the dining room with "a boy in
front of him, and heard him make the
remark, Point him out to me-" and
the boy pointed out Mr.. Holland. Mr..
Reynolds then, it is said, walked up to
Mr.. Holland and showed the gun in his
face as IL to shoot, but then appeared
to change his mind and instead OF
shooting struck Holland across the
face and head with the muzzle of the
gun.
Mr.. Holland had arisen from his
seat, and at this juncture Williamson
with hfs hand in his coat pocket, as
If he had revolver, backed the ex-
cited Reynolds cut of the dining room
and out into the street.
A number of hotel guests were al
supper at the time and considerable
excitement prevailed for a while, but
which was quieted. Holland, while
badly hurt and bruised. is not seri-
ously injured and is able to be about
DR.. Hagood dressed his wounds.
Mr.. Reynolds appeared at the county
court Friday p. m, and made bond in
two cases.
Friday afternoon w. A. Reynolds,
charged with assault to kill and with
carrying a pistol, appeared before
the county judge and made bond for
his appearance. The bond in tn as
sault to kill was $500, while that for
carrying a pistol was 5000. Th sched.
ule on the bonds was much greater
than this.
Mr. Reynolds is charged with strik'
ing Bud Holland with a pistol on
Thursday evening in the dining room
of the Atwood hotel.

Postmaster c. w. Early has receiv-
ed advice from the Postoffice Depart
ment to the effect that on June /, 1914,
service will be commenced on two ru-
raj routes out of this city, without fail.
The reason for delaying service until
that time, according to the advice, was
the fact that the appropriation for the
establishment of rural routes is ex-
hausted, and the new fund is not avail
able until the date named above.

ESTABLISH ORPHANAGE.
Mrs. Joe Smith SOlicits Assistance Of
Chamber Of Commerce in Es-
tnbllsi. ment Of Institution.

The Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived a written proposition from Mrs
]. o. Smith of this city, offering, with
the assistance of the chamber and citi-
zens, in the way of financial assist
ance, to provide a home for orphal
children and erring girls in Durant
The substance of her proposal is as
follows:
To establish the home not more than
two miles from Durant Union Depot;
to erect a suitable home, and a school
building which would also serve as
church house; to provide competent
schooling for inmates. as well as non
secearian religious training; to make
the home self-maintaining the way
of raising small crops, stock, taking
in sewing and other forms Of manual
work and art that may be secured 10
do; to provide competent matron for
supervision of the girl inmates and n
mature man to see after the boys; to
make the homes for the inmates free
to themselves, but that they shall do
their part of work at hand and pro-
vided by the management; to select a
board of directors to have immediate
supervision of the entire home and to
keep a careful record of all receipts
and disbursements of cash.
Mrs. Smith says that she has had
considerable experience in this sort Of
work, and as such is recommended.
The Chamber of Commerce will con-
slider her proposal at some early date,
but the clubs attitude toward it has
not been expressed.
This paper believes that such an in
stitution, properly established and
managed, would be of lasting benefit
to this community, and hopes that
some arrangement may be made.

1t was reported in Durant this week
that on Tuesday night three men
boarded Katy train at Durant bound
for Atoka, and that for the reason
that they refused to be held up for 3
cents a mile cash fare, were all put
off of the train at Caddo. II is re-
ported that the men were on the train
and had come from Texas, and in or
der to avail themselves of the intra-
State rate of two cents per mile, had
gotten off at the station here, but a
substitute man at the window had for
some reason failed or refused to sell
them tickets. The men then rendered
in cash the regular fare as prescrib'
ed by the corporation commission
which the auditor is said to have re-
fused. and the result was that the men
were all put off at Caddo. The tele-
gram from the commission to the
county attorney printed above, came
as a result of this action.
In a letter to Durant parties, Com
missioner Henshaw says:
"As long as l am commissioner
this high-handed ruffianism Shall
not prevail. Ask the people to
protect themselves and refuse to
leave the train when they tender
2 cents per mile between points in
Oklahoma"
