Worth and were walking. Their
names were Harmon Miller and
Albert Crosswait, and after spend
, ing some time here left in the after.
noon. Last night Miller was
brought to the city by a farmer
and he presented horrible sight.
His face was covered with dried
blood from numerous long and
deep wounds and his wrist was
broken. His Lat. coat and vest
and 500 in cash had been taken
from him, and altogether he was
in sorry plight. Crosswait had
assaulted him near Fair Plains,
using heavy sixshooter. He was
left for dead and it was not until
late in the evening that he regained
consciousness. He then crawled
to farm house near by and asked
to be brought to town. DIR. c. R.
johnson dressed the wounds last
night, and while none of them are
serious the man had close call.
The officers were notified and
Crosswait's arrest is expected soon.

Ii Can be Done

That is, Ardmore can send an
exhibit to the Texas State Far that
the multitude will look upon with
wonder and our home people will
feel proud of. What | want to
say is that l have visited the Dallas
Fair for II seasons. and made each
year the agricultural department
study. While there has been some
great things exhibited in the way
of natures arts, from the state of
Texas | believe this part of the In
dian Territory with just a little
time, trouble and money could
show the many thousands of visit
ors as good if not better products,
than the state of Texas. feel con-
fident that if we are allowed TO
compete for a premium, if we don't
succeed on any one article. we will
stand a good chance of getting the
first prize on the best collection of
products. | have talked with
number of the ladies and they at
once go right into the plan of can
ming In glass, all kinds of fine
fruits and vegetables that can not
be kept fresh for the exhibit. Then
our great asphalt and mineral mines
can do much as an advertisement
for this rich country. Even should
we not capture a prize at all, 1t
would be one of the greatest ad-
,, vertisments this country could have
for the amount of money expended.
There will be thousands of people
there who don't have the slightest
idea that the Indian Territory is
capable of producing as fine cotton,
grain and produce of all kinds,
better than the old northern and
eastern states, and there are peO-
pie who believe this to be almost a
bowling wilderness, who have never
once dreamed that it is settled by a
well cultured class of people, or
that it is one of the fairest garden
spots on the face of the earth. Now
people if you want the first general
exhibit at that great convention of
of arts, science and products, you
have the opportunity. We must
have money, not a large amount,
and if each business man will sub
scribe little it will give Ardmore
and the surrounding country an
advertisement that will last life
time. | will ask the public spirit
ed gentlemen of the city to call a
meeting and appoint a committee
to canvass the town and see what
each will give, will do the balance
with the help of the other ladies.
l have secured free space in the
agricultural department and / am
willing to take the exhibit down
and do all in my power to advertise
and talk up this wonderfully fertile
country, and as a remuneration !
only want my expenses paid, which
will be small compared to the great
benefit this country will derive from
it. Respectfully,
MRS. S. S. TOISOE.

EXTRA PAY FOR VOLUNTEERS.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
Decides Three Questions,

The Comptroller of the Treasury made
three important decisions yesterday re-
garding the pay of volunteer soldiers The
questions referred to him were:
First, whether enlisted men who are
transferred from the volunteer regiments
TO the hospital corps OF the regular army
and are now being discharged are entitled
to extra pay as provided by act of March
8, 1899?
Second, whether volunteer soldier who
served with regulars in Cuba who was
transferred. sick, to hospital in the
United States, and who has been dis
charged for disability, his regiment still
being in the service, is entitled to the
extra pay provided for by the act of March
g. 1899?
Third, whether the act OF March 8. 1889
is retroactive and applies TO volunteers
who were discharged prior to the act of
January IL. 1899, and whose regiments
were mustered out since the act CT
January II?
The Comptroller answers the first and
second questions in the affirmative As to
the third he decides that the law is not
retroactive.
