yours very truly,
GEO. A. HENSHAW,

Commissioned" i"
The commission however, seems 10
have overlooked the fact that 1t was
agreed by the commission and the
business men of Durant who attend
ed the last hearing at Oklahoma City
that no plans would be finally ap-
proved by the commission until they
had first been founa acceptable to
the people of Durant. Consequent
ly, Mr. Powers Immediately wrote 20
Mr. Henshaw, reminding him of the
arrangement.
The last hitch is now evidently
overcome. and unless some unlocked
for difficulty should arise, the com
mission, the railroads, and the peo-
pie of the city will. within the next
week, have reached satisfactory
agreement as to the plans for the
Durant Union Station, when, as has
been announced, the railroads will
Immediately begin their plans for
the erection of the structure In this
city.

MIKE. MADE EAGLE
 SCREAM AT HELENA

Prosecuting Attorney Mike P. Huddleston returned last night from Helena where he spent yes terday attending a big Fourth of July celebration. Mike 'kissed the Blarney stone" before he left Par agould in order that he might feed Helenians on some real oratorical fireworks. He was the only speak CT on the program, and while he modestly declines to admit the fact, a grapevine report says the affable attorney pulled pin feath- CTS out of the American eagle and tickled the feet of the angels. Con- gressman Caraway had been invit- ed to deliver an address at the eel ebration, but was unable to at tend, and thus placed double burden on Mike to show the swamp ties the brand of oratory produced in this end of the first congress sional district.

This latter story is generally believed by the people here, but his assistance is thought to have come from some person on the outside of the bank

 At midnight there was still con- siderable confusion in the jail, and conflicting stories as to the man. ner in which Holt was killed were told by those attached to the insti- tuition. The attendants disagreed as to the place where the body was found.
 O'Ryan, the keeper detailed to watch Holt's cell, declared that he was positive that the body was in a pool of blood in the cell when he first saw it.
 "It sounded to me like an explo- sion," said O'Ryan, in giving his version of what occurred. You will have hard work to convince me that it wasn't. The cell was in partila darkness, as the lights had not been fully turned on.
 q was Is feet away from the cell when it happened, and my back was turned. I heard a noise and then ran into the cell and looked around. It was dark
 'T couldn't see at first, then I found the body in pool of blood in corner of the cell.
 Holt had been in remarkably good spirits. He had laughed and joked earlier in the evening. That made me suspicious. D
 Holt attempted to kill himself early yesterday morning by trying to open the artery in his left wrist with a lead pencil.
 The attempt was unsuccessful Holt, lying on his side in a cell in the Nassau county jail at Mineola, was seen by an attendant to writhe with pain. The attendant entered the cell, found blood flow ing from the wound, summoned the warden and bound up the wrist, checking the flow of blood. Notwithstanding the promptness with which Holt's attempt was dis covered, he lost considerable quan- tity of blood
 Holt passed a restless night. tossing about on his cost, from which he had been unable to rise during the day, and muttering to himself at intervals. His keepers had taken from him his belt, his suspenders and every other article in his possession with which they thought he could have attempted suicide. He had seemed to be so Respondent during the day that a strict watch had been kept upon him.
 After several hours had passed without sleep. during the early part of the night, Holt called to an attendant and asked for a lead pencil. He said that he wanted to write to his wife. A lead pencil was brought to him and, few moments later, pad of paper The attendant remained in the cell a few moments and Holt, turning on his left side, apparently started to write.
 The attendant then left. Within less than five minutes he passed the door of Holt's cell again. He then noticed that Holt seemed to be in pain, entered the cell and found blood flowing from jagged cut in his wrist.
