The following communication was

AN ADEQUATE
UNION DEPOT
IS NEXT HOPE
THE PEOPLE, WHILE DEPLORING
GREAT DISASTER, HOPE 1T WILL
BE MEANS OF GETTING ABE.
QUATE STATION.

While everyone deplores the great
disaster of Monday afternoon, they
are in accord in hoping that from
that calamity Ardmore may at least
have modern union depot commen-
surate with the size and importance
of the city. What was lett of the
union depot is being demolished, and
the company is transacting passenger
business from three passenger coach
es until such time as a new depot is
built. The railway officials here
have not mentioned their intentions
relative to a new depot, or what it
will be, but the citizens believe they
will erect a depot of sufficient size
to answer the needs of the city for
years to come.
The question of locating the depot
at the foot OF Broadway is also being
freely discussed and seems to meet
with popular approval. Some time
ago an attempt was made to open
Broadway east of the railroad yards
and after a protest, which was acted
upon favorably to the railroad com
pany, it was believed that they con-
templated building a new station at
the foot of Broadway.
This, of course, is mere specula-
ton on the part of the citizens dis
cussing the proposition. The railway
officials have not said what their
intentions are.

Al aged white man who gave his
name as S. J. Clark, and who is a
stranger in the city, was found Sun
day night, hatless, shirtless, shoeless
and almost breathless, in search of a
young negro whom he described to
the officer with whom he came in con-
tact. Clark himself was sent to the
city Jail for safe keeping, and yes
terday was able to very infinitely de-
scribe the man who escorted him to a
negro boarding house and there re-
lieved him of the sum of S45.
The police, following the description
which was furnished, arrested young
negro named Augustine Pettiway,

ticed him to the negro boarding
house, and who was found to have
been going through his pockets when

and had the additional excitement of
having to volplane into Long Beach

feet above the earth. Apparently he
enjoyed the experience hugely,
pleased that the mishap allowed him
a privilege that was denied the other
members of the flying party. Adj

stepped on land and said that it had
been a great experience. 81 thought
