A kite can lift but a certain amount of line and when it reaches that Kmit it will go no higher. The remedy is to hitch on another kite with a short lead line to lift the sag out of the line- An. indefinite number of kites can thus be hitched in tandem so that tho first kite can easily be sent up out of sight.

BRUTAL MURDER OF BOYS CLUBBED TO DEATH OFF TRAIH INVOLVED IN OKLAHOMA TRIAL Mysterious Case In Which Parents Ask $90,000 Damage Is Scheduled for Hearing In Federal Court By M. C. HARPER HENRYETTA, . Okla. May 10.— (Special to The Tribune.)—There is set for hearing in federal/court at McAlester next week, possibly one of the most mysterious, and if true, brutal murders in the history of the state. Allen Willis and Olen Lewallyn, aged 15 and 16, both Henryetta boys, the next day after, leaving Henryetta to bum their ways to McAlester to visit the sister of young Willis, were found on the Frisco railway rlghtof way, one of them dead and the other in a dying condition. They wero not run over by trains, but according to their fathers Allen Willis and Elton Lewallyn, the boys wero brutally murdered by a brakeman on the train on which they wero riding just a few miles south of WotuYnka. It was by mere chance that the parents of the boys learned how their sons met their death. The bodies were found, identified and sent to Henryetta. It was supposed at the time that the lads met their fate in trying to hop a passenger train. L. L. Locker, a one legged tramp, a few days after the murder, was sit ting on a truck at the passenger station of tho Fristo railroad at Henryetta relating his story of hav ing seen two boys clubbed, bodily, off the top of a freight car on which ho was rld'ng a few evenings before. Allen Willis, father of one of the boys, happened to Ln on the plat form nnd overheard tho tramp's story. Ho came to Looker and told him one of the boys was his son. Locker then went over the scene carefully, after which Willis invited him home with him and sent for Lewallyn'to hear tho story. It re sulted in a suit by the men for $90,- tOO.OOO agaiat the Frisco railroad for ’he alleged brutal murder of their hoys by the Frisco brakeman. The story as told by Locker in his do position here recently nnd which he proposes to tell the court and jury at McAlester next week, reveals a murder so co’d nnd brutal it is al most unbelievable. Locker is a professional tramp. According to his story, which stood up pretty well under tho cross ex amination of the Frisco attorneys, he was at the Frisco passenger sta tion, Wetumka, on the afternoon of August 29, last. He saw the boys around the station, lunched at the same counter they did. The boys caught a passenger train south in tho early evening. Locker, having but one leg, could not make the pas senger so awaited a freight going the way he wanted to go. The boys were found by the trainmen on the passenger nnd put off at a grade about three miles south of Wetumka. This evidence was verified by train men on the passenge- as it came back north the next day. ? yr *| WE cannot mar the beauty of A Vclumina-paintcd walls.

M . 4 fit, Io b t u,r I oormiaHT t #as FiTTo.unaH plati «LAsa oom.anv A freight train took siding at Wetumka about six o'clock in the afternoon for a northbound pas senger. While on tho siding. Lock er climbed aboard. Naturally ho was watching the brakemen that he would not be caught. A brakeman camo down tho line, lantern and brakeclub in hand, testing tho air Just before the freight pulled out. He recognized this brakeman as LUng tho same man whom he saw knock tho boys from the top of the car later on. Locker testified that he was on a box car. burning his ride, when the freight reached n heavy grade about three miles south of Wetumka, and saw the two boys, whom he had seen at the station n few hours before, “hop” the train. One of the boys caught the enr on which he. Locker, was riding, tho other boy the car next to it. They climbed to the top of the cars. The farthest boy came down to the boy on the other end of tho car on which Locker was rldfig nnd both sat down on top of tho car, their foot hanging over the side. Soon after the boys had stationed themselves Locker states he saw the brakeman, whom he saw nt the station testing I the air, coming over the train, lan tern and club in hand. He came up to the boys, spoke a very few words to them, nnd all at once, in a fit of • fury, he hit one of them over tho • head with the stick, knocking him i off tho top nf the car. He instantly turned on the, other, striking hlnr • over the head? Tho boy had half ■ turned to get out of the way. He i rolled or scrambled to the ladder and started down it. While clasping tho top round of the ladder, the . brakeman clubbed his hands loose 1 and lie too fell to tho right of way . below. This boyflived several hours, , but never gained consciousness. - Tho boy’s hands were bruised or f pummelled, evidencing Locker's i statement was right. Their heads » bore a gasping wound as further j proof of Locker’s testimony. i Izocker states that when ho snw I the brakemen coming over the train. - ho climbed down on a hand hold or ? ladder round between th o cars to b keep the brakeman from seeing him. His head was above the top of the e car, and It was tho same car from . which the boys were clubbed. He i could see very plainly being but e about 40 feet from them—or at the ‘other end of the cay. Wi.cn the brakeman had cruelly clubbed the boys off. Locker says he climbed down to the foot of the ladder ho he could fall off in case the brakeman camo at him ns ho had the boys. It is supposed the Frisco will con tend the boys after being put off the southbound passenger, at the grade, tried to "hop” the northbound passenger and were hurted to their death. The plaintiffs in the case, however, claim they have •witnesses who saw the boys after the north bound passenger had passed. They argue too. that the boys wanted to go south, ns their destination was McAlester, and that there was no excuse for them trying to catch a northbound train. In the testimony taken here, the claim agents for the Frisco were very evasive, sufficient ly so to add strength to the plain tiffs’ caso. so say their attorneys. Try ns they did. the plaintiffs at torneys could get no Information about the names of the trainmen on the freight. Although they had seen and got. E tatements from every train men, so they admitted, they, could not remember the name of a single trainman in' the crew. D. H. Llnebaugh, for several years federal attorney for the U. S. gov ernment at Muskogee. Okla., L. D. Williams, assistant county attorney for Okmulgee county and G. L. Bynum, both of Henryetta, are the attorneys for the plaintiffs.
