KILLING AT QUANAH.
Meager News of Battle with Cattle
Men Over Grass Lease.

Men Over Grass Lease.
The Fort Worth Register this
morning says:
Meager news of a quadruple
killing at Quanah, Tex, reached
here late last night, but as the
wires between that point and this
city were grounded anything
like an accurate or complete ac-
count of the tragedy was out of the
question.
About the only facts obtainable
were that killing had taken place
in which four prominent cattlemen
were the participants.
Two of the men in the encounter
were Lutte and Cage Beach, who
lived at Stephenyille, Erath county,
but the names of the other two
combatants could not belearned.
All four men met at Quanah yes
terday afternoon and from the best
information that could be learned,
quarreled over grass leases in
which all were interested. The
exact particulars of the tragedy
and how it was enacted, could not
be had last night.

brand of flour known as Jakes

of a we'll known wholesale grocery
house of Ardmore. as to the re-

the brand made by the Purcell
Mill and Elevator Co., known as
The Leader a wager was made
as to which was the better flour
and by agreement G.. ?. Whiteman
and l.. B. Robertson were chosen
as judges. This morning tests
were fairly and thoroughly made
and Jakes Best was in a short
time declared by both judges to be
far superior. being whittier and a
much better quality.
This test reflects great credit on
home industry and also on Jake
for his good judgment and earnest
efforts in giving his customers the
best in the market. We are inform
