KILLED BY TRAIN;
is BURIED HERE


Brief services for A. w. Webb, who
was killed in the Santa Fe yards in
Oklahoma City Saturday, we're held
at the /. 0. o. f. cemetery yesterday,
being conducted by Rev. ]. M. Kinds.
Mr. Webb, who until the past few
months was a resident of this city, was
struck by a. swift engine which came
up behind him, and died about thirty
minutes later An explanation of the
accident is given in the fact that
trains were being switched on paral-
lei tracks, and he was engaged in
watching the train of the other track
and did not notice the engine which
was behind him.
The deceased leaves wife and
three children. An eight-year-old
daughter died in chickasha last Jan.
uary and he was laid to rest beside
her. When Mr.. Webb lived in this
city he was employed by the Chicka-
sha Cotton Oil company and resided
at 622 North Seventh.

DIMMTNC LAW Is
UP TO SAMMY


Sammys estimate of the brilliancs
OF auto lights as well as his speed
ometer are the last word in traffic
law That is the dictum Of Mayor
Coffman. If Sammy says the lights
are too bright they are too bright. If
Sammy says they must be dimmed
that is what goes. But the traffic off
Ger has been cautioned to exercise his
usual discretion and it is not the pur-
pose of the administration to impose a
hardship on auto owners or to deprive
them OF any Of the legitimate joys Of
life.
"The motor officer will see that the
lights are dimmed within the city linz
its. He will use his own judgment as
to whether a certain light is too bright
as construed by the law which went
into effect last Friday. If he considers
it an infraction of the ordinance he
win not be harsh in any case and he
does not regard this law as solely 4
possible revenue getter. When Sam
NV tells the driver Of an automobile
to dim his lights Of course it viii be
to the advantage Of such driver to do
so."
