Commencement Exercises.

The Wa-Keeney and Trego County
Common School Fourth Annual Com
mencenrent passed off pleasantly and
profitably barring IA few unavoidable
omissions, was equal to if not surpass-
ing expectations. The music bv the
school has been highly commended.
The little folks repeated the sailor
and soldier drill of the afternoon, ana
a second concert drill of pupils of In
termediate and Grammar grades was
enjoyed.
The commencement exercises prop
er began with defamation, Our
Martyrs" oy Roxie McAtee, followed
by another by Barbara Ivan, '.Tfme
and Opportunity"
Both graduates deserve much credit
for the manner in which they acquit-
ted themselves.
The class address by ex-Superin-
tendent Peacock was characteristic of
Peacock. He prefaced his remarks
by saying that he thought he was
done with school matters, and that
the people might lay this atfiiction to
Harlan and Shearer.
He spoke of the number of gradu-
ates in preceding years. remarking
that the few in number this year was
not to the discredit of the schools but
the natural limitations of numbers
and years. The very fact of these be-
ing alone was evidence of merit, and
future years would bring the larger
Glasses.
He ended by "A little good advice in
regard to health being preferred to
higher work should such alternative
ever present itself, no matter how
much we might desire to advance.
superintendent Harlan then pre-
scented the diplomas in a few well
chosen remarks. after which the male
.quartette rendered in their immita-
bic way the ''Cobbier and the Crow"

bloody contest and hardships frem

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE following Is
the weather bureaus weekly summary of

Very favorable weather conditions pre-

central and southern Rocky mountain dis
tricts. and on the Pacific coast Drought
prevails in the lower lake region, North

Advancement 1t is estimated that early
corn in the principal corn states of the
central valleys will be safe from frost by
Sept. IS and the late crop by Sept. 80.
Stacking and threshng of spring wheat
has been generally delayed by rains. and
violent hailstorms In the Red River valley
have caused a loss estimated at 100000
bushels In North Dakota and about 50
per cent of the expected yield of 5000
acres in Minnesota, while high winds

grain in the first named state.
Oats in stack have sustained some dam

Bird Says He shot Bowen Because

John Bowen. said to be the keeper of a
sailors boarding house, was shot and dan
gerously wounded In a lIul street house
OF in-fame at an carly hour this morning,
The shooting was done by +. d. Bird, a
middle-aged countryman, resident Of Quit
man, who was seeing the sights of the
city.
The testimony of the Witnesses reveals
absolutely no motive or excuse for The
killing, save that it was done in the beat
of passion and when Equor had temper
arly dethroned reason Bird had gone to
the house Of the woman, Annie Hunnicutt
at $40 IIull street. east, during the night
and STAYED there (or some time, with her
he became involved in a dispute and
threatened to use his revolver on her un-
less she promptly acceded TO his demands
1t was while the controversy was thus
waxing hot and furious that Bowen came
in and essayed the role Of peacemaker.
He had scarcely said a word than only
TO ask Bird not to carry out his threat TO
shoot when the latter opened FIRE. Three
shots were fired, one of them taking Sc
rious effect in Bowen's left breast. To
those who saw the wound ID seemed cTiti-
cal and dangerous and the police ambu-
lance was summoned and Bowen conveyed
to the Savannah Hospital, where his hurt
received medical attention.
The noise of the shooting attracted the
attention of Patrolman Umbach. who was
on duty at the station house. just few
blocks away. He fastened to the spot
whence the reports had proceeded width
err he was further guided by the noise of
the Hunnicutt woman and the other In
mates of the house, who had set up a
most unearthly bowling and yelling.
Bird was found taking things quite cool
ly and submitted readily enough TO arrest
He had no explanation 10 make of his
shooting Bowen other than that he had
annoyed him and interfered in a matter
that Bird considered exclusively his own
business. He was taken 20 the station
house where a charge of assault with in
tent 10 murder was entered against him.
From late reports received from the hos
ptal 1t is altogether within the POSSIBLE
ties that this may be changed to murder
before the day Is over. Bowen Is said to be
resting easily, but the wound is certainly
dangerous and perhaps fatal. That cannot
vet be told.
