His conversation with the other members of the jail family, however, seemed to have quecred these prospects, for when arraigned he denied ever having had any- thing to do with the afiair and said he wanted a lawyer. His case was continued in_order that he and his lawyer might con- sult together. There was a dearth of witnesses against James Riley, who has been in jail for a week past on the supposition that he held up and robbed Albert Hall. He was turncd loose, Lottie Emerson, charged with larceny from the person, took a change of venue _to Justice Vien's court, where she was dis- charged after a hearing.

Hardman fitty years ago. The case is a solid rose- wood. The front is exquisitely inlaid with mother of pearl and gold. There is scarcely a scrateh on it, and if it were not for the woll worn Ivory Keys it might pass for but a few years old. But the point of greatest interest to lovers of planos is the tone, and this 1s a verification of the makers' elaim that the older a Hardman plano gets the softer and sweeter the tone becomes. It was made before the days of overstrung bass and triple strings, but the tone | wonderfully sweet and clear.

O. Mackey, which has been detailed to guard the Rock Island road, missed death at the hand of the Pond Creck train wreckers at 1 o'clock this morn- ing by less than 200 fect. Two explosions of dynamite occurred within 200 yards at the south outskirts of the city mmmediately after the special train carrying the troops from Enid to Pond Creek station had passed. Ono of the shots exploded immediately under the train, but did no damage, but the other blew out a cattle guard and ehattered the rails, and would have com- pletely demolished the train had it exploded a few seconds earlier. The wreckers were decidedly bold. The -night, avith a full moon, was as clear as day and the dyna- miters touched off their shots in full view of the train when o close that it could not be stopped until it had crossed the spots. The cattle guard was replaced and treins movad regularly this morning GUTHRIE, OKl, July 17.—The war between the towns of Round Pond and Enid and the Rock Island railway broke out again, United States Marshal Nix received a telegram from Enid stating that the company of regu- lar soldiers stationed there to protect the Rock Island raflway have been ordered by the people to leave and also some citizens who sympathize with the road were given so many hours to get out of town.

Governor Ren- frow has decided to offer a reward of $300 each for the conviction of persons engag:d in the burning of bridges and will demand of the Rock Island that they do their part toward abating the trouble by complying with the city ordinances of Enid and Round Pond with regard to depot location. Mayor C. B. Frank has wired to Acting Governor Lowe that Saturday, the 21st, the city authorities proposed to put into cfect the ordinance requiring the Rock Island trains to stop at the principal street of the city and flag the crossing. He wished the governor to call for the assistance of United States soldiers to make the city ordinance effective, the lo force being inadequate. The mayor added that the government had established the city and wa in simple justice bound to afford it pro- tection from the tyranny of the Rock Island company and to assist it in enforcing its laws, made for the benefit and protection ot its citizens. No amswer has been re- ceived from the governor.
