SorTH ENID, Ok, June 27--Two
men dead and one seriously wounded
is the record of terrible tragedy that
was enacted on the streets of this town
last night. X. w. Patterson, register
of the United States land office, and
City Marshal Williams are dead, with
bullet holes in their bodies, and j. l..
Izenberg, editor and proprietor of the
Daily Wave, is at his home with
ragged furrow made by bullet in the
side OF his face The fight grew out
of an article that lzenberg wrote and
published in yesterdays issue of the
Wave, crticising the acts of Register
Patterson.
After the paper had been circulated,
Patterson started for the Wave office
to demand satisfaction. On the way
he met Izenberg and took him TO task
for the article that had appeared
in the Wave. The men quarreled and
came to blows. City Marshal Will
liams ran to separate the men. just
as he ran between them Register Pat
terson whipped out a revolver and
Cred at Izenberg. The bullet struck
lzen berg in the corner of the left eye
and ran around the side of his face.
Patterson then turned the weapon
toward the city marshal and pulled
the trigger. The bullet struck Will
Jams in the right lung. lie then drew
a revolver and shot Patterson dead,
bullet striking him squarely in the cen
ter of the forehead. Williams was
taken to his home, where he died in a
short time.
Izenberg was also taken to his home,

The shooting created the widest ex-
citement here All three of the men

writes with a pen dripping with worm

the Kansas Democrats in the strip; he
was Southerner and had received

paper, but it was not favored with the
land office printing, and lzenberg at
tributed this fact TO the Vaccinations
of Patterson.
Izenberg is one of the best known
newspaper men in Oklahoma. shortly
after the Strip opening he was assault
ed by Editor Whitaker of the North
Enid Tribune, who struck him when he
was not looking. Before he could re-

Register Patterson was well liked.
He was brilliant public speaker, and
an enterprising, courageous man. He

hospitable Hospitality"
fully agree with you, that the
subject is a delicate one, aud especi-
ally so under the circumstances, and
this is true, leaving out the question
that one of the leading organs of the
territory is making the criticism.
The fact that we have number Of
irst-class hotels in this city should
no, make us proud aud boastful The
tidal wave which swept over the coun.
try electng a Republican congress, at
the last election, was the cause nc

first class hotels, the Palace, or we
might be prouder; perhaps this was
sent as warning.

hotel accommodations and appoint

ing city.
II, however, what YOU have said
serves TO iattract the attention OF our
visitors 10 the thrift and enterprise of
our citizens, as displayed, in some de.
gree at least, in the very artistic man

New system OF the Government Err
pisIned Appointments
WASHINGTON, June 27.--The assign
ment of state agents in the new system
OF gathering crop statistics has been
completed save for two districts. The
new plan practically does away with
the state agencies, as the states are
grouped into districts, which only one
state agent will supervise The pres
ent system of county reports will also
be supplanted by one providing for a
reporter in every township and the
two systems will be used conjointly,
each acting as check on the other.
The country will be divided into TWEEN
ty-one districts. Fourteen of these
will comprise groups of states and
seven single states Some of the state
agents have been retained as district
agents and others will he dropped from
the rolls. The personnel of the crops
is in part as follows:
Kansas and Missouri. Henry O. Gar
vcy, Kansas; Colorado. Utah. Wyom-
ing, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico,
Frank L. Carstarphen Colorado;
Texas. Allen Blacker; Nebraska, ex-
Governor Robert Furnas.
The agents for two districts. en-
bracing Arkansas. Indian territory
and Oklahoma, and the other North
and South Dakota and Montana have
not been selected. The arrangement
eliminates all salaries below S72O a
year and makes an average of 1000.
There were formerly forty-fve agents
and the reduction to twenty-five
makes an aggregate saving of several
thousand dollars.
