CLUBS ANNUAL DINNER.
University Men WIN Dine Mt the
De Soto Next Thursday.

De Soto Next Thursday.
The annual meeting and dinner of the
University Club will be held at the De
Soto next Thursday night. = The meeting
will be held in the gentlemen's parlor,
Col. P. w. Meldrim, president, presiding,
and it is expected that there will be
a large attendance of members. Reports
from the officers and from committees
will be received, and it is probable that
new business of importance will be
brought up.
One matter of interest upon which full
reports are always received at the annual
meetings is the attendance upon the Uni
versity of beneficiaries of the club, young
men who unable to defray their expenses
at the institution, borrow from the Uni
versity Club at very low rate of inter-
est, repaying the money after they leave
college. There are usually two or three
young men at the University who remain
there through the loans advanced by the
University Club. No security beyond
the personal notes of the young men, is
demanded for the loans, but payment is
always made. One young man, now
earning a fine salary as a civil engineer,
repaid the last of the loans that were
made him some time since. His entire
University career was a result of the
clubs kindness in advancing funds and
his success while in college and after
leaving is just what the members of the
club commend and feel satisfaction in
having made possible.
Upon the conclusion of the business of
the annual meeting, the members will re-
pair to the banquet hall, where the din
ner is to be served. Messrs. w. w. Cor
DON Jr., John d. Carswell and A. A.
Lawrence comprise the committee that is
in charge of the arrangements for the
dinner. Music and speeches will contrib
ute with the menu to the enjoyment of
the banqueters
Those who have been secured as speak
ers are Col. A. r. Lawton Mr.. Edwin c.
Ryals, Mr.. r. ]. Travis, Mr.. Richard NJ.
Charlton and some member of the faculty
Of the university who has not yet been
named Orchestral music will be played,
and Mr.. George Beckett is on the pro-
gramme for two songs. The members of
the club anticipate one of the most en-
joyable of their many dinners.

Prof. Lake. our new superintendent,

matter. To make the appointment reg

by the present Board OF Commissioners.
OF course. Mr.. Lake and his political

are some people who have desire to

JOHN TRoTTER SHOT.

There was considerable excitement
IN Sharon on Monday when news wa,
renewed OF the shooting OF John Trot
ter at Driftwood, Oklahoma. MIR
Trotter is nephew of Wm. Rule anC
was employe ed in Rule & Sons store al
Sharon. lie was crippled and followed
clerical work as his profession. He was
visiting with a brother at Drlftwoo6
last week.
The story Of the shooting as told by
those who have received details is rath.
er romantic and admits of some doubt
but it may be true. The report say:
that Mr.. Trotter was shot by Barney
Pitts who Is known by many Barber
county people. Pitts had considerable
trouble with his daughters divorced
husband who threatened him several
times. and on Sunday morning ear
ly,the story says, Trotter went to Pitts
house on an errand and when he arriv.
ed there and was seen through the win.
dow Pitts mistOok him for his son-in.
law and shot him. Trotter lived until
IL O'Clock sunday night.
Another report says that this son-in-
law had eloped with Pitts 16-year-old
daughter and that the old gentleman
was In hot pursuit and ran across Trot-
ter and shot him before he discovered
that he was the wrong man.
Just what the inside facts are cannot
be learned at this time. The only def
mite thing is that John Trotter is dead
and that the shot that killed him was
fred by Barney Pitts.

A lad at Kiowa who was fooling
around trains at the Santa Fe depot
last week was tossed several feet
in the air and finally landed broad side
against the coal chute, but soon recov-
cred from the effects of the excursion.
The wonder Is that something worse
than this has not happened before. We
were never there without seeing kids
from 2-year-olds up running around
IN almost sufficient force to stop the
trains. Parents who permit their chill
dren to play around railroad stations
are bargaining for whole lot OF need
less trouble.
