IMPALEO ON A PLOWSHARE
Horrible Death OF 49, Years Old Hike
XeaPshin Near Noble.

Guthrie, o. T., March 23.-An account
Of a peculiar and horrible accident is
given by the Norman Transcript, which
says: "A terrible accident occurred two
miles south of Noble last Saturday af-
ternoon, by which Mike Yeargin, 16-year-
old son Of Bob Yeargin, met his death
His father was III Norman attending the
meeting of the Democratic central COM
mittee, and had left Mike glowing in a
field not far from the house. He was
using a sulkey plow Along in the after
noon the mother and sister heard the
out to see what was the matter. They
were Mortified to find the body of the
boy imDaled on the point of the shear.
which had run clear through his body.
Neighbors to whom the alarm was given
came and took the body off, and so
firmly was it fastened upon the plow
that it took the best efforts Of two men
10 dislodge it. The bowels protruded
from the body, and portions Of the en-
trails We're found for fifty yards How
the accident occurred is not definitely
known, but it is thought Mike had got
down to fix the Dlow and had raised the
shear to get at il better He was prob
ably down in front of it. when the horses
ran away, and the sharp point of the
shear penetrated his body The body
was badly bruised ard his head battered
out of all human resemblance"

HIS NEXTNESS Is SURE

Position in View.

Guthrie, o. T.. March 23.-PoI:ical in
terest in Amos Ewing's prolonged visit
in Washington is heightened by the ap-
pearance of press disDa. ch stating tLat
he was a caller yesterday at the White
House. and there is the usual sDecuIa-
ton over Ewing's mission. There are
any number of Republicans in the terri
tory who would jump at an opportunity
to hold the position of inspector Of ellis,
but rumor has it that Ewing IS dissatis-
fed with the office and that his political
ambition scars higher-'nto the re9lTs OF
national politics, as 1t we're. There are
those who venture the guess that Living
is after a high government position n
Puerto Rico, and others who 0redic= that
he wants to be United States marshal Of
Hawaii Ewing, himself prior to his de-
parture, was no more looua cious t1an an
oyster as to his Washington mission,
and any reasons assigned by the homo
politicians are purely speculative. il +

TRAITORS MAY BE IN CAMP
Warning sounded by the Newkirk
BHeraId Which Fayors Fusion.

Guthrie, 0. T., March 23.-At Blackwell
today the populist and democratic central
committee of Kay county meet to ar
range fusion. The Newkirk Herald, which
is a fusion organ, claims that there IS
scheme TO beat fusion by packing the
Democratic central committee with prox-
iesrb. The Herald wants the full commit
tees to act lin conference, +contenGinG in
this manner:
THE democrats and populists of Kay
county are unanimously in favor OF Co
operation. or fusion What they want
is good, honest government, and aside
from few prospective candidates, II IS
immaterial uvon what basis the two par
ties unite 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that none Of the candidates viii embarrass
the two central committees, but that the
committeeman will be left free to place
party interests above selfish personal de-
sires. at the meeting of the committees
at Blackwell on the 24th. The rank and
file have expressed their desire for fu-
sion at the various township meetings,
and have delegated to the various commit
teemen the authority TO make proper
terms 1t is our opinion, however, that
the two central committees should act
as a whole in discussing and deciding I'D
on terms. and that it would be mis-
take to place the matter in the hands
Of q small conference selected from the
two central committees. Every township
should have a voice in the matter from
start to finish and this could not be If
the matter was placed in the hands Of
a conference committee. Besides, it is
a we'll known fact that certain parties are
going to try to slip into that committee
meeting with proxies. who are at heart
traitors. Be on your guard. The repub-
ncans realize that their fate devends
upon the action taken at the Blackwell
meeting and that il is sometimes cheaper
to fix small committee than it is to
lose a campaign. Let both committees
act together as a whole and put moth
ing but Americans ON guard this night"
