THIS IS FUNNY.
The Fort Worth Gazette Scoops Every
thing at the Expense of Writing
From Imagination.

This mornings Fort Worth Gazette
contains what purpOrts to be an ac-
count OF the citizens meeting held
here last night. 1t is only necessary
TO read the article to determine that
the writer had 20 draft on his imag-
ination in his battle against space
that had to be filed with some kind
OF matter. The Gazette says:
One of the most important meet
ings yet held in connection with the
selection of place for the fight was
at Ardmore Thursday night. Gener-
al Manager Yoakum and Travelling
Passenger Agent Dohcrty OF the
Santa Fe and Dan 4. Stuart had 4
conference with the Ardmore people
with a view TO knowing Just what
might be depended on in the Chick
asaw Nation. The meeting was held
in the opera house and the town was
well represented. Non only so, but
number Of the members OF the
members Of the Chickasaw legisla-
ture were present. These were on
their way 10 the opening session at
. Tishomingo and were solicited by
prominent citizens To attend the
meeting.
f Mr.. Stuart and the Santa Fe peo-
. pie were assured by those present,
including lawyers and lawmakers,
that Ardmore will do everything
reasonable that, may be required TO
secure the fight. The opinion seem
cd TO be unanimous that the fight
should be pulled Oh there. But, as is
frequently the case, there was a
kicker in the crowd. This kicker
developed in the person OF a young
bat indiscrcct attorney who spoke
his mind. lie spoke right out in
mcctin' and told the assembled ma
ton that the fight should not come
on at Ardmore If he knew himself
and the law, and be thought he did
The audience was more surprised
than was the dispenser of Cruel when
Oliver Twist called for more. -
When the surprise had somewhat
worn OF and the spokesman OF the
pro prizefighters had reEained his
breath, ne said: Young man, you
are too fresh. You are entirely too
good for this world" or words 10
that effect, "and il YOU 20 TO med
din with this business, Wen Just do
YOU TO a finish.' And as there
seemed to be no adverse opinion,
the meeting adjourned.

baby, and | have got the thing you

'sIf the Ross decision is affirmed" con-
tinued Judge Lee, sit will undo every

have been organized and gone to work.
These will not be materially affected, but
where bonds have been largely issued thore
will be trouble and suits galore. Irrigation

able. attempt at righteous legislation

mentioned.
"The next Legislature will have the task
of reforming the Wright law and looping
off Objectionable and arbitrary portions. AS
1t is the whole affair is involved in the
greatest confusion and no one can tell
when it will be cleared up. The measure
was both good and bad and it is TO be re-
GREETED that the latter quality invalidated

Capitalists who have facilities for obtain
ing information as to holdings of irrigation
bonds assert that the banking institutions
of this State did not lend much money on
bonds of this character. No money be-
longing to the State school fund or univer-
sity fund was invested in irrigation bonds.
The sinking fund securities are mostly
State and county bonds.
