Dr. Traugh returned yesterday from Woodward, Oklahoma, and reports the new town as progressing finely. His opponents in the contested land case asked for a continuance, which was granted by consent of all parties concerned. Mr. E. F. Emery received a draft from the Panhandle company Wednesday morning for $603, in payment for damages sustained by the burning over of bis meadows and the loss of several stacks of bay, caused by fire from the railroad last August. The action of the town council in ordering the marshal to-secure deputies and remain upon the streets all night Halloween, had the effect of keeping the boys from committing the usual amount of deviltry. The marshal and his six deputies patroled the streets from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. and Wednesday morning the town presented the same quiet, respectable appearances as usual.
