Buck Garrett on Scene

Sheriff Buck Garrett and several of
his deputies left here yesterday after
noon for the scene A guard was main
tanned about the merchandise, and per-
feet order was maintained. There were
only few attempts made to take mer-
chandise by theft. One merchant laugh
ed as he saw two men attempting to
steal log chain which weighed 200
pounds and had value of about $50.
When accosted, the men stated that
they were helping to save the mer-
chandise. The merchant advised them
that the chain would not burn, and
threatened immediate arrest if it were
not taken back. The men returned the
chain to a warehouse into which the
was taking his saved mer-
chandise.

Mail Was Saved.

Postmaster John Whiteman was in

A portion of the John Whiteman stock
was saved, but only a small per cent.
Zan Williams saved about one-fourth
of his stock.
The Roxana Petroleum Company
lost two bunk houses.
The Pioneer Supply Company which
was reported destroyed, was saved.
W. H. Henson owned the largest
and most expensive building in the

An explosion Of vaporized gasoline
put in ashes almost an entire city
yesterday in the Healdton oil fields.
in a little building adjoining the Oil
Exchange Cafe, a man was cleaning q
pair of pants with gasoline. The build
ing was closed, and above the ironing
board a torch light was burning. The
vapors from the gasoline filled the
room and ignited the torch. Flames
filled the building The cleaner rushed
Ito the door for his own safety and the
air rushed in to feed the flames and
an irresistible fire was started within
a moment. The explosion was heard
in the little town, and men rushed
to the scene. w. H. Henson fought
his way into the building and made
war upon the flames. At one time it
seemed that he would win, but man
without fire equipments fighting a gas
oline fire must meet failure as did Mr..
Henson in this instance. A few bar
fels of water located near the scene
would have saved a city, but the water
had not been provided.

ROCK ISLAND
CONDUCTOR
IS A SUICIDE
w. r. BOUCHEE SAID TO HAVE
SHOT HIMSELF - DAUGHTER
is IN ARDMORE AND WIFE IN
McAlESTER.

Word was received here today of
the suicide of w. r. Bouchee, con-
ductor on the Rock Island, between
here and Haileyville. He makes the
run from Ardmore to Haileyville and
return each day. He was a man of
about fifty years of age, and had a
wife and four children. His wife was
in McAlester, and a daughter, Miss
Velma, aged II, is in Ardmore. She
was out to lunch when the Yale room
ing house received the news, and she
had not been located at two o'clock
this afternoon, and did not know of
the tragedy.
The conductor is said to have shot
himself while on his train about 20
mile east of Ardmore. He has an
elegant family, and was a man who
made friends of all who knew him.
Ill health is presumed to be the
cause.
Mr.. Bouchee's entire family was
here last week and stopped at the
Yale, at the corner of Broadway,
over the Akers furniture store, and
the family were arranging to move
here from McAlester.
