The Board of Trade meeting took
place last evening ill Jiidg« lawrence'*
court room. J. W. McNeil occupying
the chair. There wan a good atteml-
auce. Tb« first part of the meeting was
takeu up with listeuiug to the reports
of the committees appointed to inquire
into the matters relating to the planing
mill, the cauuiug factory, ami the
pressed brick concern—nil of which pro
yoked mora or l«ss discussion and all of
which were laid over future action. Of
those three propositions the brick busi-
ness teemed to evoke the moat interest,
and perhaps rightly no, for if the state-
ments made by the applicant to the
members of the committee can be
proven to be reliable, the difference in
cost between brick made here and that
purchased at Kansas City would mean
a 2roat deal for the future of Outline
iu the way of building. While men-
tioning this, we feel bound to cornpli
meut Mr. U.C. Ousi for the way he
emphasized this point. Kvery live busi-
ness uian we thiuk, cannot but bear linn
out iu this matter. l'Kr Nicws gave the
dift'areuce iu price in its report of the
last meeting of the Board, vibrick,
which cost 414 a thousand iu Kansas
City eau be made here for 410,and that
sold there at $12 could be furnished
here for 48 In making a note of this
.■rea' reduction, it must not he forgot-
ten that the question of freight makes
the difference in price still more acute.
So lunch for the brick proposition.
In relation to the planiug mil), Mr
Johnson, with whom all must sympa-
thize on acoouut of the lire, informed
the hoard that machinery of double
valus to what lie formerly had was on
the ground on the west side ready to be
placed in the newly-crected planing
mill, but he had reached the end of hi.s
resources. With the assistance of about
$230 be could get it all placed in work-
iu£ order iad pay a tew incidental ex-
penses. The committee reported favor-
ably on the grant, but it was resolved
to postpone action for a day or so to
comply with a resolution passed at a
[ previous meeting.
The reporUof the committee on the
granting of a lot for Salmon's canning
factory stated that a change iu the
proposed site hud been made, and the (
lot now asked for would cost but ^170
a considerable saving on the previous
one. The committee suggested that
the lot be granted for the factory and
that the board hold the deed for three
years to see if the concern was a suc-
cess or not.
Mayor Martin, who had arrived from
the council meeting a few minutes
previously for the purpose of saying a
few words to the board, then arose iu
response to the chairman and made a
synopsis of the railroad of which he is
one of the promoters. Briefly stated
the railroad is to lie laid from Cofl'uy-
ville to El Hono- passing through
Guthrie—then joining one of the trunk
linos. The Mayor claimed that the new
line would bring the people of the
territory six hours nearer l>y rail to St.
Louis than by the Santa Fe or nny
other line. It would also place us much
nearer to Kansas City. The question
of finding the money to build the line
was an easy one, for the surveyors' and
engineers' reports in regard to its con-
struction had been so favorable that
financiers had intimated that little difli-
cutty would be experienced on that
score. Money was plentiful just now,
but it was a question whether it would
be policy to raise it in New York or
London. No doubt at the latter placo
it could be obtained at a lower rate of
interest. At present, however, the pre-'
liminary cost, such as surveying, engi-
neering, etc., had fallen on himself and
eight others, and the mayor thought it. J
nothing but fair, that those towns and
cities through which the line would
pass should help a little iu paying a.
part of this preliminary cost. It was
for this purpose that he came before
them to-night, and lie would suggest to
those present that the city of Guthrie
donate the sum of $2IR) to this end. He
thought this not an out-of-the-way sum
to ask for, considering the benefit the
city would derive from the building of)
the road, lie would leave the matters
in the hands of the board.
On tho mayor retiring a motion that
a committee be appointed to consider
the matter was unanimously passedr
and Messrs. Guss, Greer audGray were
named by the chair to report on Mnu-
day evening next.

Yesterday Judge Buekuer received a
teilograiu whirtli stated that through his
efforts Scaggf, Pridgeon and Boles
familiar names ftf men who have been
sent up for criminal offences had been
ordered released from Ike penitentiary
Judge Buekner. as a criminal lawyer
is making n record. It was owing ti
liiui that Terrill is Umae, and now that
ho has succeeded in liberating such a
trio as Scaggs, Boles and I'ridgcon, is
certainly evidence as to his capabilities
as a criminal lawyer.
Thk News still insists that the men
mentioned are guilty, but we do not
blaiue them for regaining their liberty
neither do we blame Judge Bpckner.
as a lawyer, for. ferreting out teehni
entities by which he can liberate a
client. Seiifcimentalism is justifiable,
and so is loyalty- When an attorney
undertakes to free a man he weighs the
situation, and, like a general, lie takes
advantage of circumstances.
If he, at night, pores over pages ol
law and tfnds that by a strategetic
movement liei can checkmate his adver-
sary, then he is iu duty bound to his
client to take this advantage. A physi-
cian never tells to tale-bearers the ail-
ment of his pitient: his tirst duty is to
efl'ect a cure. The same with an honest
attorney. He listens attentively to his
client's statement and then proceeds.
Mrs. Scaggs received a telegram from
her husband yesterday saying that "as
soon as I can gat the money I will re-
turn home."

Adjoining the Cherokee townsite of
Cleveland lays a most beautiful site for

various parties since the opening, some
of which had the appearance of fairness,
while others were obtained by fraud,

contending parties could hold the land
by fair means, and the continued strife
was very detrimental to the future of
the most eastern village in Oklahoma,
the citizens of the most conservative
class armed themselves Thursday morn-

marched to the possession of the 100
acres and will make application to prove

that they townsite board No. ii want
one per cent of this money, which is

On motion of Councilman Taylor,

attempt to exact J.">0ll for a piece of

by this people for public use is a qiies
