Terrorized Passengers on Badly Behaved Train No 414
A United States marshal allegedly aiding a whiskey peddler aboard train No 414 bound for Tulsa caused chaos from Bristow through Sapulpa. Passengers fled in fear as the officer yelled with a drawn revolver, forcing a halt at Sapulpa and delaying arrival in Tulsa. The incident casts a negative light on Indian Territory civility. The piece also advertises DeVite's Little Early Risers and local notices including the Sequoyah club meeting and upcoming Mexico excursion through Katy routes.
