BYERS CONFIDENT WILL
BUILD TO COLO. LINE
Has Sufficient Faith in Carrying the
Stevens County Election to
Start Work Now

Our line to the northwest is going
very nicely" said President o. P.
Byers of the Kansas G. Oklahoma
railroad company, to Democrat re-
porter Wednesday.
II am confident eoungh that the
election in Stevens county will carry
that l am arranging to start work
right away. / have several thousand
ties ordered and the rails are on the
way and we will proceed to construct
the line to the new town of Woods
without waiting the outcome Of the
election. However we do not expect
TO stop there. By the time the road
is that far we will have had the cleo
ton and If it turns out favorable as I
am told it will, work will progress
rapidly in the direction of Hugoton.
Mr.. Byers was here several days
this week ironing out the final plans
for the campaign to build the line
from here to Forgan and after inter-
viewing a number of citizens Of the
town expressed himself as we'll pleas
ed with the situation here.
Mr.. Byers still has faith in Liberal
despite all the opposition he has met
ond feels that his latest proposition
cannot help meeting the approval Of
the people.

CIRCULATING PETITIONS
FOR r. r. BOND ELECTION
Sufficient Signatures Already Obtain
ed to Call Election to Revote
Railroad Bonds

Liberal citizens have been busy
this week circulating petitions asking
the council to call an election for the
purpose of voting $20,000.00 to aid
the Kansas & Oklahoma railroad in
building from Liberal to Forgan.
The petitions are meeting with a
hearty reception at the hands of Lib
eral people. But very few refused to
sign the petition and from the re-
marks heard when soliciting sigma
lures, we would judge that the cleo
tion is certain to carry the issue easy.
The proposition submitted by Mr..
Byers bears the closest scrutiny and
will easily satisfy anyone capable of
being satisfied. He agrees to build
the road to the Kansas Oklahoma line
and accept the bonds a certain equal
amount as he completes the track,
until it reaches the new town of Gree
nough in Beaver County.
Certainly no one can object to this
Plan. Byers must build to the Kan
sas line southeast without receiving a
cent of money. Then he only gets the
bonds as he completes each mile of
track. The bonds are to be turned
over to a committee in escrow to be
so delivered. Not a chance of hitch
of any kind. He must deliver the
goods before he gets the pay, and he
must show sufficient faith by con-
structing the remainder of the line in
Kansas before getting cent.
The Kansas & Oklahoma is now
builded entirely across the city from
east to west. From the Liberal city
limits to the Stevens county line there
is close to 16 miles of track, and il
is good track too. Now Byers agrees
to build to the Kansas line before ask.
ing cent of Liberal. Where can yor
find anything wrong with this pro
position? You can't possibly do it.
The Democrat is pleased that thu
cid bond issue is out of the way, ant
the council will no longer have tha
to contend with. Mr.. Byers informs
US that he has signed waiver of tn
first issue, and it is thing of ..th'
past. Now we hope the council, hav
ing been relieved of the old issue will
cooperate with the railroad in get
ting an early election and settle
ment of the case.
We find that ninety percent of thu
people of the town are favorable tt
accepting this proposition and putting
it over and we only regret that we
cannot say that it is one hundred pei
cent. However ten per cent or les!
cannot kill so good proposition, anc
we feel certain that the X. & o. is il
far way to become a certainty.

INJURED BOY TREATED FINE

Raymond Rhodes who was severely
injured when he became entangled
with a Combine harvester, has been
released from Mercy Hospital in this
city. His employer, Earnest Wood
ward set him a blank signed check
with the instructions to fill it out
for the amount of his hospital bill.
Then the citizens of Tyrone sent a
purse of $95 to tide him over until
he is able to work. Both showed a
generosity that is most pleasing. The
people at Tyrone are dandy bunch
and Mr. Woodward rs not slow in do
ing the nice thing.

two. Antrim was second and Mrs.

Clarendon discovered that he had an
unexpected repugnance to doing this.

thing he was about to do could not be
justified ever in his loose code OF
ethics. He examined the ferule of his

The dubious eyes Of the other mar

kid gloves. Those he had met were
mostly ambitious reformers. Further
more, any stranger who mentioned the
name of the Arizonan became instant
ly an object Of suspicion.
"What about him?"

not on friendly terms. I've gathered
that from what's been told me. Am /

Durand thrust out his salient chin.

Again there was a suspicious and
lengthy scrutiny.
The door opened far enough to let
them slide into a scantily furnished
hall. On the landing was another
guard. a heavy. b~rutal-looking fellow
who was no doubt the "chucker-out.'
He. too, looked them over closely, but
after a glance at the card drew aside
to let them pass.
Through 9 door near the head of the
stairs they moved into a large room.
evidently made from several smaller
ones with the partitions torn DOWN and
the ceilings pillared at intervals.
Clay had read about the magniti-
cence of Canfield's in the old days
and he was surprised that n so fas-
tidious as Bromfield should patronize
a place Sc dingy and so rough as this.
AT the end of one roo was a marble
mantelpiece above which there vas a
defaced, gilt-frame mirror. The chan
deliers, the chairs, the wallpaper, all
suggested the same note of one-time
opulence worn to s~habbineSS.
A game of Klondike was going.
There were two roulette wheels, a faro
table. and one circle of poker players.
The cold eyes of a sleek, slippery
man sliding cards out of a faro-boX
looked at the westerner %curiously.
Among the suckers who came to this
den of thieves to be robbed were none
Of Clay's stamp. Lindsay watched the
white. dexterous hands of the dealer
with an honest distaste. All along
the border from Juarez to Calexico he
had seen just such soft, skilled fingers
fleeing those who toiled. He knew
the ~bloodless, impassive faro of the
