some of the police officers were not do- ink their, duty and he wished to let them know that their superiors were aware of the fact. He said that some of the policemen were strangers in the Recorders Court room where fntsde- meanor cases are tried. He said that this was due either to a lack of duty on the part of the officers or else there must have been perfect order on their respective beats. He said that he hoped that the latter was the case. Still the absence of the officers from the court room had been noticed. The chief said that the 'isick plea" had been abused. It has been customary for the policemen who have been on work for few days on account of ill., ness to petition the Council and they are allowed pay for lost time. The Chief said that this privilege had been abused. He did not specify who was guilty of these offenses, but served warning to the men that if the practice of deceit was not stopped the whole thing would have to be abolished and the innocent and deserving men would have to suffer for the acts of the bad ones.
 The Chief referred to the fact that although the policemen may be asleep on their beats or be in places where they should not be. still no report was made of 1t. He said that although citi- zens have not as yet said anything they saw and took note and at the proper time those men guilty or these ofrenses would hear from 1t. He said that he knew that most or the men on the police force would like to have their names on the list sent into the Council at the reorganization of the police force next October, but oonclud- ed: "I serve warning to you ..ow. that unless there is reformation among some of you, your names will not be upon the list sent in to the Council for ratification"

CONGRESSMAN BURKE
OF the Sixth Texas District Died This
lOrning.


Hon. II. G. Burke, congress.
man of the Sixth District Of
Texas, died at his home IN Dal-
las shortly after midnight last
night.
During February while he
was attending the session of
Congress he was taken severely
jll with an attack of the grip and
was confined to his room for
several days.
AT his request the seriousness 5
of the illness was not communi-
Gated to his family in Texas.
He suffered a stroke Of paralJ
sis last Saturday night and
since that time has never rallied
sufficiently to give hope for his
recovery.
In the death of Judge Burke
the country loses a conscien
Jious, Industrious and reliable
public servant and the people Of
his district a member of con-
gress who has left 20 stone un-
turned in his earnest effort tc
serve them.
His devotion to the industrial
and commercial advancement OF
his city and state have given
him a place in the front rank OF
progressive Texas.

CHARGED Mlth Assault 10 KllI.

Tom Ward is on trial today be-
fore Judge Bradford for assault to
kin one Marion lsaacs. The diff
Guilty occurred down about East
man some three weeks ago.
From the evidence adduced from
the stand it seems that Miss Julia
Harris was living with her two
Young brothers keeping house for
them and Mr.. Isaacs had come to
see her. While there, her brother.
in-law, Tom Ward and others,
came up and were drinking.
Pretty soon, it seemed, diff
Guilty was noticed to be brewing,
aud Miss Harris tried in every
way she could to prevent it, even
going so far as to take some of
their pistols and discharged them
into the fireplace and the ground.
But finally Tom Ward commenced
to shoot his Wischester off as
Isaacs was retredting on horseback
Some said with the intention of
killing lssacs.
Miss Harris was firm in her
testimony aud as proper spoken as
Noah Webster. and the lawyers
and the Judge could not get her to
deyiate one particle.
The case was still on trial as we
left the court house.
There will be mite social at the
Carter Avenue Methodist parsonage
tonight. Everybody is invited to
attend.
The Elks will not meet tomor-
row night, as has been reported,
! but will meet on the 18th instant,

MUST HAVE RIdnT-oF-wAY
Or VIII Move Ills Work to Some
Other Poirt.

W. A. Shippey has returned
from Memphis and was seen by an
ARDNoREITE reporter this morning.
Mr. Shippey expressed himself as
very much dissatisfied with the
manner in which the right of-way
III town is being given him.
He said this old system of Civ.
ing him a piece here and a piece
there. aud that they would have
this house moved next week and
that one at another time, be could
not put up with it any longer, and
unless the right of.way was given
him he would move his men aud
teams out in the country where be
knew the way would be clear and
nothing to impede his work.
The ARDMoREfTE understands
that nothing is being done towards
securing the balance of the property
on the right of way, and no houses
are being moved, except J y.
Barall's store.
Our right-of-way committee and
the Choctaw people should get to-
0ether and devise some means hv
which Mr.. Shippey could have the
right-of way.

Going After Coal.

Some time ago the Caddo Coal
and Mining Co., struck a vein of
coal about ak miles west of Ard
more, about four and half feet
thick at depth of 40 feet The
quality of the coal proved to be
all right and they resolved at once
to utilize it. They accordingly
began to sink a shaft, or rather a
round hole about five feet in diam
eter, and are now down about sey-
enty feet,
This morning Mr.. NJ. c. Maupir
left with a gang of men to extend
the hole down and through the
coal, with view of working thu
mines
With the Choctaw coming into
town from the coal regions, with

our city for heating and lighting
purposes, with another mans
scheme to heat up the city with
hot water, and with plenty of good
coal all aroand us and under us,
no one need be afraid of freezing
to death next winter.
