THE DEADLY BULLET.
Ernest Truelove Shot and killed.
Died Instantly Iy--WeIIk known Here

Died tly--Wellknownn mere
Information reached our city last
evening that Ernest Truelove had
been shot and killed in Gainesville.
and the news created considerable
excitement, as deceased had long
lived in Ardmore, and although
gambler, had a large circle of
friends.
The shooting took place in the
saloon of Haley & Russell, and the
Hesperian gives the following re-
port of the affair:
About Z o'clock last night a
pistol shot rang out and in few
minutes an excited crowd was clam
oring for admittance into the Haley
& Russell saloon, where Ernest
Truelove, a gambler, lay in pool
of blood, dead. He had been shot
in the left side of the chin. the ball
ranging upward and causing al
most instant death. Some claim
that George Russell fired the fatal
shot, others asserting that it was
an accident. However, the ever
ready gun has again got in its work
and as result a soul was hurried
into eternity.
Sheriff Womack and his depu-
ties were on hand early and closed
the doors of the saloon. Justice
Rogers was summoned and with
County Attorney Bell, who arrived
later, began the investigation.
A gambler named Clark was
, interrogated in the saloon before
the corpse was removed. Clarl
was a friend of Truelove and seemed
to be intimately acquainted will
! him. He claimed the shooting wa!
an accident. Clark said Truelov'
was committing nuisance in the
house and Russell demonstrated
with him. This angered Truelove

J. 0eorge Wright.
The ARDMoREITE representative
called at the townsite commission
Office this morning, and as usual
found all hands busy.
Captain Wes Burney was ex-
planning to an interested citizen of
the town, why the line made by
the commission did not follow his
old fence line. AS is usual in
great many instances the indi-
vidual ''just knowed" that he was
right for he laid off the lot him
self.
In the temporary absence OF
Col. S. n. johnson, Mr.. c. T.
McCoin, the clever secretary for
the commission, showed us
through. At glance our interest
centered on the neat little map of
the city, drawn by Mr.. j. p.
Thayer for Indian Inspector d.
George Wright.
This map is a complete and con-
else picture of Ardmore drawn on
a scale of one inch to 600 feet.
Every street, alley, residence,
church, gin, mill, factory. pond,
etc., is distinctly set forth. The
various boundary limits are dis
tinctly shown.
The limits established by the
court are defined in red ink anC
are noted as embracing 1852 acres
The limits sought to be estab-
lished by the commission, arr
marked in green lines, and art
noted as embracing 2212 acres
thus showing a difference in acre
age of the limits of 630 acres.
The timber line on the map Il
traced with dotted green lines.
The church buildings, of whicl
Ardmore has fourteen. are desig
mated in red.
Every residence house in tn
: city appears in its proper place ol
e its lot and is designated in black
!. The business portion OF tn
: town is in solid black.
: The railroad also has its allote

WCEROYS MAY CHOOSE.
Some One of Weight to Negotiate
with the Powcrs-POlicy of the
United States Endorsed by

Special Paris Gable Letter Copyright,
1900, the Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. 25.-The viceroys of the
various provinces of China may be con-
vCked to choose some one Of weight in
the empire, to deal with the Powers in
tablSshing such a government as will
assure the fulfllment of whatever terms
the Powers shall dictate in settlement of
| their claims arising out of the recent
outrages, and one who will give satisfac-
tory guarantees of complete change of
Chinese policy towards the outside world
Such solution has been suggested in
diplomatic circles, but with most of the
corps absent on vacation and President
Loubet and NJ. Delcasse, minister of for
eign affairs, out of town, the idea has
not assumed a crystalized form. Hope
still exists that a strong central power
will be formed in Pekin, which will con-
stitute the best guarantee for the future,
the best means of securing reparation for
the wrongs suffered by Europeans. and
the best safeguard against division among
the Powers themselves.
Now that the allied forces have entered
the Forbidden City the necessity for the
maintenance of concord among the Pow
ers is most pressing. Yet fears are in
creasing that the strain of conflicting in
terests and ambitions may cause dissen-
sion among the nations interested This
danger has been demonstrated already by
the individual action of Russia In Selling
the present opportunity to extend her
frontier into Manchuria, and the recent
incident regarding the landing of British
troops at Shanghai. While no official
statement is forthcoming to the posi-
ton of France, in the absence from Paris
OF those in control OF her foreign policy,
the following emanatlng from an official
associated with the French government,
expresses the view of the foreign Office
at the present juncture:
I'VE have no revenge to seek In China
and we have no intention to demand such
recompenses In the shape OF indemnltles
as will create resentment against foreign
ers. our policy Will be one OF liberal edu-
cation, an effort 10 teach this great mass
OF people to trust and regard Europeans
fayora bly, Ia the end this may result IN
the advancement OF civilization Tor the
one and commercial prosperity for the
others. Those who think that a change
Of government will change the character
OF the Chinese peop'e have rot broad un-
dersta nding Of the deep-seated IDEAS which
centuries have bred in them. To make

BOXERS ARE STILL IN PEKIN.
national Conference Regarded
by Germany as Premature.

London, Aug. 26, S:l5 a. m.-The only
news of the night from China comes by
way of Berlin, where official dispatches
have been received, dated Taku, Aug.
25 reporting on authority that an undated
Russan-Pekin telegram, received on We'd
nesday last, says that large masses Of
Boxers are still in the southern part of
the capital, and that a force of troops
under Prince Ching is in the Imperial
City.
According 10 a special dispatch from
Berlin Germany, has not received any
proposals or suggestions from the United
States for an international conference.
The foreign office considers the idea of
such a conference as premature, and de-
sires the allied commanders to exercise
control in Pekin, and the occupied parts
OF China until Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee shall have assumed command
and had time to report on the situation.
The generally well-nformed Viedomosti
of st. Petersburg, says it is the opinion
in diplomatic quarters there, that the
withdrawal of the allies from Pekin, now
that the foreigners have been rescued,
would facilitate peace negotiations.
