DESPERADO HEADS
TOWARD DENISON
"Red" Kuykendall, kidnaper of
Rocky Thomas and his son, Deni-
son contractors, two years ago, es-
caped from the Oklahoma state
penitentiary at McAlister this
morning;, according to reports re-
ceived in Denison shortly after
noon.
Kuykedall was captured as he
lay in hiding in a barn loft, short-
ly after he had released the Den-
ison contractors, by Grayson and
Dallas county officers. He sur-
rendered after the barn top had
been literally shot off by machine
gun and automatic rifle fire.
Denison officers are on look-
out for Kuykendall, reported com-
ing toward Denison in a stolen
automobile with a penitentiary
guard as hostage. The guard
was take prisoner as the desperado
fled the Oklahoma jail.
Oklahoma officer,3 staging the
largest manhunt since the Pete
Traxler roundup several weeks
ago, expressed doubt Kuykendall
would attempt to enter Texas
through Denison, beliieving ho
might rcconnoiter to another sec-
tion of the state.

Non-Union Men Start Erection Of
Pig Stand; Union Men Refuse Job
i . To Finish It Unless It's Torn Down
■
L

PITTSBURGH—Workmen are
busy tearing down a recently part-
ly constructed pig stand, in order
that they might start all over
again and this time do it with on-
ly union labor.
The reason for the action is
that union men refuse to build
the remainder of the stand for
the fact that non-union men
started it. However, they are
wil ling to tear the stand down.
The idea is that they will not
touch anything polluted by non-
union men unless they can touch
it in their own way—they will
had'je it to tear it down, but won't
handle it to build it up.

Denison business houses were
asked to close Labor Day, Mon.
day, September 0th, by a procla-
mation issued today by Mayor
Clarence Scott, in tribute to la-
bor in regard to its affiliation
with the progress of the world.
"On this day annually every
business man, large and small,
should close the doors of his es-
tablishment in respect to those
who have made his material
wealth possible,' Mayor Scot! en.-
phasized. -
Practically every business house
in the city will be closed (Turing
the day, according to merchants.
Other than a few filling stations,
drug stores and other establish-
ments, all will remained closed to
allow employes an extra day of
freedom.
A number of employes 'here
have signified their intentions of
viewing the Pan-American expo-
sition at Dallas or the Frontier
Fiesta, at Fort Worth, while oth-
ers will remain in the city for a
day of rest.

The teachers had worked hard
and the excellence of their judg-
ment, and the strength of their
executive power was apparent in
the perfect arrangement of all the
constituted features of the enter-
tainment. Supper was served in
the south room of the basement,
from 6 o'clock until there was no
longer anyone to come. The tables
were under the supervision of Mrs.
Woods, assisted by all the teachers
present. After the supper, the
teachers adjourned to their re-
spective tables which were set out
on the campus where ice cream
and cake were dispensed. The
following teachers presided over
the tables: Mesdames Brown,
Malcolm, Ford and Wood; Misses
Close and Clifford and their as-
sistants were kept busy, so long
as the cream held out they took
in the coin, but the cream became
exhausted long before the hungry
crowd was appeased, this is the
only regret that the ladies did not
provide an adequate amount of
cream. In the north-east room on
the first floor a piano was placed

gregated to enjoy an impromptu

tation by Miss Bernice Wood.
September 3, 1902
The discovery of fuel oil, while
giving an impetus generally to
manufacturers in Texas and pro-
viding an additionali source of
wealth for its people, has marked
radical change in the fact that
it has reduced almost to a mini-
mum the discomforts and incon-
veniences of rail travel. Nowhere
is this more noticable than on the
Southern Pacific and H. & T. C.
lines in the state. Nearly every
passenger locomotive is equip-
ped with the oil* burning appara-
attending a national covention in
Fort Worth.
Peter Lee, night ticket agent,
has left with Mrs. Lee for a two-
week's vacation to be spent at
Dallas visiting their daughter and
will conclude their trip with a
visit to Mr. Lee's home town, New
Orleans, La.
Extra coaches will be added to
all Katy trains over the weekend
and labor day.
The Flyer Saturday night will
have an extra Pullman coach con-
taining officials of the Carter Oil
Co., from New Jersey, enroute to
Shreveport.
An unusual shipment appearing
in Katy freight Thursday was a
carload of toothpicks from New
York City, billed for Dallas.
The San Antonio ball club will
occupy an extra sleeper on the
Flyer Saturday night to Galves-
ton. The Bluebonnet the same ev-
ening will carry the Houston ball
club to Fort Worth in an extra

come up and take it, but its very
unlikely isasmuch as there isn't
