In a Dispute Over Claim He Receives .
Disabling Wound In the Leg.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, April 5.-Cap-
tain w. L. Couch, ex-mayor of this city
and the noted leader of the Oklahoma
boomers, was shot yesterday afternoon
by j. C. Adams, the ball entering the
left leg just below the knee at the back,
breaking both bones and passing out in
front.
Captain Couch is a contestant for the
valuable claim adjoining the city on the
west and on which Adams has the filing.
Yesterday afternoon Couch and his SON
undertook to set some posts for fence
when Adams appeared and ordered them
to desist
A quarrel ensued and one version of
the affair is that Couch seized Adams,
disarmed him of his pistol and fired
every load at him. Adams retreated to
his house, where he procured his Win
chester and at distance of about 200
yards took deliberate aim and fired with
the result above stated.
There are other versions Of the affair,
but the one here given is most probably
the correct one.
Immediately after the shooting Adams
went before Commissioner Scott and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Couch and his son, while on behalf of
the Couches a warrant was issued by
Commissioner Monroe for Adams, who
was Immediately arrested and put under
1000 bond to appear at ten o'clock to-
day for his preliminary trial.
COUGHS wound is serious and will
render him cripple for life even if
amputation of the limb is avoided.

If IT WE'RE THIS WAY.

If bill were submitted to the farmers
of Virginia tomorrow to reduce their tax.
es paid to the State, it would be carried.
If they were told that their Safe Treas
ury was full and there Was E. need for the
money at Richmond, the majority would be
larger.
If they were told that they were being
taxed to protect other men, not farmers, in
their occupation and save them from COM
petition, the majority would be still larger.
If they were told that not only was this
the case, but that they were taxed to set
up other men in business. Y GU could hard
ly get the polls open early enough.
And if they were told that they were be-
ing taxed in order that the men they thus
set up in business and protected, might
charge them full price for an article and
sell it abroad at half price, their indigna-
ton would be so great that no farmer would
stay at home On election day.
Still, that is in effect exactly what they
will be called to vote upon in sixty days
from now.

the State government, and for the State
