ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Inanimate Body Found On Trolley
Wires.
Early this morning a great crowd
gathered at the Choctaw depot. Their
horrified gaze was fixed on what
seemed to be the body of a well
dressed colored man suspended in
mid-air across the wires of the South
western Telephone Company. Every
body was ottering suggestions, but
fear was uppermost in the hearts of
the spectators, not one hiving the
requisite nerve to relieve the unfor
tunate on the deadly wires. Happily
Mr. W. J. Kane arrived on the scene,
and he soon had some of the attaches
of the railroad ascend the poles and
remove the supposed corpse to terra
firma.
Blanched faces soon assumed their
natural aspect when it was discovered
that the cause of the commotion was
a dummy used in front of one of the
leading clothing stores. On the breast
of the coat was a placard stating that
Sells & Down’s Big Show would be
in Newport Saturday, October 4.
STREET HATS.
The demands for elegant simplicity
are more than satisfied with exclu
sively high-class, ready-to-wear hats,
