FRUIT INSURANCE.
Opening Seems to Exist for a New
Enterprise.
Guthrie, O. T., July 28. Fruit growers
in Oklahoma aro anxious to secure some
form of insurance to indemnify them
against losses by hall or other similar
storms. This year many fruit growers
have sustained serious losses" by hail, and
they feel that by some form of insurance
they would be protected, and yet at the
same time an insurance company would
do a profitable business.
Growers of grain are able to secure in
surance on growing crops against hail,
but this does not include- the fruit
grower. One member of the board of ag
riculture sustained a loss of nearly $2,500
this season, and nothing ta show in return
for it. With such an experience this
man would gladly pay premiums for years
to be protected from hail.
Several plans of insurance have been
talked of by fruit men, but nothing defi
nite has been settled upon, and it may
be possible that a mutual company will
be organized in the near future. I
ENTICED THE GIRL.
1
Rev. Posey Is Held in Bail for His Es
capade. El Reno, O. T., July 2S. Rev. Posey,
who is charged with seduction had his
preliminary hearing yesterday before Jus
tice Frame.
The trial lasted all forenoon and several
witnesses were examined. The testimony
went ot show that the defendant had en
ticed the girl to run off with hi mand that
they took an extended trip together, reg
istering at hotels as man and wife.
The facts were proven to be substan
tially as reported in the newspapers at
the time. They made their first stop In
this city at the Ainstine hotel and hence
the case was brought here.
An attempt was made by Posey's at
torney to show that the girl was of suf
ficiently strong mind, to consent to her
own ruin, but failed as Justice Frame
hold the defendant in the sum of $1,000
to appear before the grand jury.
The case excited much interest among
the people, many of whom feared the
law was not sufficiently strong to hold
tho criminal.
NO DECISION REACHED.
Place for the Encampment Is Still
Open for Selection.
Guthrie, O. T., July 23. Adjutant Gen
eral Burlingame, of the Oklahoma Na
tional Guard, announced today that no
decision had been mado relative to the
place of holding the encampment for
this fall. Applications will still be re
ceived and the only requirement is that
the cities desirous of having the encamp
ment guarantee that ?500 will be paid for
running expenses of the encampment. In
tho event that no more applications coma
in, it is probable that Guthrie will be
selected as the place for holding the- en
campment, some time this fall.
ATTEMPTE DSUICIDE.
On Account of Excessive Drinking He
Became Despondent.
Guthrie, O. T., July 2S. Tom Burke, an
Irishman who was celebrating yesterday
and was placed in the city jail by the
police, attempted to commit suicide yes
terday evening by taking paris green.
The alarm was given and physicians
summoned. After hard work. Burke's
life was saved. It was on account of ex
cessive drinking that Burke attempted to
take his life.
ALFALFA ROUTE.
Will Be for Sale After Its Extension
Is Completed.
Guthrie. O. T.. July 28. It is stated here
upon good authority that the promoters
of the Denver, Enid and Gulf railroad,
which has been designated as the "Al
falfa Route" by the promoters of the
road, will be for sale after its western
extension out of Enid is completed. With
out the western extension the road would
be of little value to other lines and con
sequently it might be a difficult proposi
tion to dispose of such a short line at
this time.
KATY WILL BUY IT.
Railroad Men Believe That Will Be
the Result.
Guthrie. O. T.. July V.. Railroad men
express the opinion that the St. Louis,
El Reno and Western road, which is now
in course of construction, will be pur
chased by the Katy later on. It is said
that it is an independ nt line now. but
that the Katy wn,j a line to the south
west and will take up the line now being
built fro Guthrie to El Reno and the
southwest.

RAGING TO .
ENTER CITY
NEXT MONTH
Fort Smith and Western Is
Due August 24,
CONTRACT EXPIRES THEN
To Earn the Bonus the Road
Must Hustle.
Guthrie, O. T., July 2S. The Fort
' Western Railroad company, which is
constructing a lino from iort famitn.
Ark., to Guthrie, is racing to get into
this citv bv the 2-it hof next month. On
that date the contract made with citizens
of Guth'rie to pay a $50,000 bonus to the
promoters of the road to build here will
expire. The ptes given by individuals in
favor of the railroad company read that
the road must be completed into Guthrie
by the 24th of August, 1903.
Tho bridge gang of tho road is now
erecting -Jiridtfts in gan county and
track is laid in the eastern part of the
territory. Railroad men consider It
doubtful if the road can get in here by
the time mentioned, but the officials cf
tho road- are determined to have the $50,000
bonus.
The Fort Smith and Westeren is an in
dependent road. Other railroads desirous
of getting into the coal fields have made
numerous propositions to the promoters
with the idea of purchasing the line, but
in each instance the representatives of
other lines were informed that the road
is not for sale. The men behind the con
struction of the Fort Smith line state
that they have the money to construct
and equip the line, and that they be
lieve it a paying proposition. It is un
derstood that the road will be constructed
as far as Pueblo, Colo., after the line to
Guthrie is competed. If this is the case,
it will give the city of Guthrie western
connections as well as a line that will
reach tho coal fields.
The promoters of the Fort Smith road
have plenty of leases on coal land and
points in Oklahoma touched by the road
are looking forward to the time when
they will have coal at a lower price than
has been paid heretofore. There is no
question but what the road will be of
much benefit to Oklahoma, and especially
to western Oklahoma, when tho road is
built to Colorado.
The Fort Smith and Western will use
the Santa Fe station in this city, connect
ing with tho Santa Fe in the north part
of town. The contract has been signed
up, but there is no time set for the use
of the station, it being optio.nal with the
Fort Smith company when the same shall
bo used.
In some respects it is said that the com
pany is an exceptional one. For Instance,
when it determined to build to Guthrie
and asked a bonus of $50,000, another city
offered $100,000 bonus If it would build to
that city, but tlui directors refused to
do so regardless of tho amount of the
"bonus offered.
Within a few months time trains will
be operated over the Fort Smith and
Western from Guthrie to Fort Smith
and will be valuable to people living in
the eastern portion of the territory.

BOY IS MISSING.
Serious Suspicion Is Harbored Against
Wesley McGill.
Guthrie, O. T., July 28. Several days
ago, on Information filed by John Law,
a Santa Fe detective, three negroes,
Lewis, Wesley and Enoch McGill, who
operate a second-hand store in Guthrie,
were arrested for the alleged receiving
of property stolen from the Santa Fe
yards. Frank Filson, a negro boy. was
tho principal witness against the men.
When the preliminary hearing was held,
the men were released on bond.
On the 21st of this month Wesley Mc
Gill. who is the city dog-catcher, went
to Olsmith's gun store and purchased a
rifle, saying that he desired to kill dogs
with it. Filson, the principal witness
against the three men, "was seen going in
to the country with Wesley McGill, and
has not been located since that time.
The men are now in custody, charged
with having abducted the principal wit
ness against them In the first case. It is
believed by some that McGill secured
the rille for the purpose of shooting the
boy and that he is now dead. Efforts are
being made to locate the boy, and until
something new develops the men will be
held by the sheriff. The case has at
tracted considerable attention in colored
circles.
NORMAN UNIVERSITY.
First Semsster Begins September 15
With Fine Prccpects.
Xormaa, July 2S. The first semester of
the 1'niverslty of Oklahoma will begin
September 15. Judging from the letters
of inquiry constantly coming into the
office, the enrollment will be much larger
than ever before, at the beginning of the
year. The university was never in a
more prosperous condition. Last year the
total enrollment was a third larger than
it had ever been before, and the increase
promise to be even more marked another
year. By January 1. the new Science hall
will be ready for use. which wtl aid
greatly the facilities for work in chem
istry, biology, geology and other courses
in the science department. The pre-snedt-cal
department will also nave much more
room, and can produce better results.
The new gymnasium bttflding will be
eomplfUd. furnished and ready for use
in time for the opening f school in Sep
tember. The new buitd'.p.e w-;:i be on the

Home, founded last year. Is a hots for
girls only, managed by the Christian
church, but not at all sectarian In its
character. The building is a large, roomy
brick block, midway between town and
the university, with plenty of room and
well furnished. The influences of the
university are decidedly moral. The
i.oung jien s cnrlstian association is -a
strong organization and embraces the
leading spirits of the school. The Young
Women's Christian association has also
been organized.
Contrary to the opinion prevalent In
many localities, the tuition at the univer
sity is entirely free. Even the $2 Inci
dental fee has been done away with, and
the only money required of any oftho
students is a small fee in some of the
clases, such as chemistry ana botany, to
cover breakage and wear and tear in
curred in the use of the laboratories.
WITHOUT SALARY.
Fred Wenner Is Satisfied With One
Source of Payment.
Guthrie. O. T.. July 2S. Since the first
of July, Fred L. Wenner, secretary of
the commission to the St. Louis ExposI
tion has not been drawing his per diem
as a member of the commission. When
Mr. Wenner was asked to retain the po
sition after having been appointed sec
retary of the territorial school land board,
ho stated to Governor Ferguson that he
did not care to receive pay for his
services on that board and that all work
done by him would be without cost to
tho territory. s
It will take a month or two months
or Mr. Wenner to arrange matters so
that a new man can step into the office
and carry on the business, and no ap
pointment of a successor to Mr. Wenner
will be made before that time.
It is probable that the members of the
Oklahoma commission will meet here this
week to consider matters relative to the
exhibit at St. Louis.
