ton To the receipts of the Office than
in the ease OF the other candidates.
OThand, $1,000 may look big but
consider what 1t meant in Colonel
IIitchcocks case. 1t meant covering
for him the whole expense of the
primary. II meant paying his print
ing bills, distributing his ballots, as
suring him the benefit of an absolute
ly secret ballot, relieving himsof the
necessity of hiring men at each polling
place to pedde his tickets. and guar
anteeing an honest and impartial
count. If he had been nominated his
subsequent expense would have been
slight He naturally would have had
to take his chances on being nominated,
as all men do who seek elective public
office. But the assessment at which
he SHE'D was literally a fair and ac-
curate application of the party rules.
In Luzerne county, under similar rules,
but with II big field running to divide
the expense, the candidates for judge
were assessed $1,000 for primary cleo
ton expenses and paid promptly, with
out whimper
We have the utmost personal respect
for Colonel Hitchcock but feel with many
OF his intimate friends that he has been
wrongly advised in this matter. Run
ming as he IL, on Il third party ticket
there is not the remotest possibility of
his election. If he gets thousand
votes he will get more than some of
his friends are estimating. But wheth-
er he gets Il few more or a few less
than thousand votes. he is as far
from election as the man in the moon
and the only effect of his candidacy is
to encourage the Democracy and make
harder the election of the Republican
candidate. Judge Carpenter. We don't
believe that in the event of Mr.. New
combs election through the Hitchcock
detection of votes from Carpenter
Colonel Hitchcock, six months or a
year hence. would feel satisfied with
his work or that his lifelong Repub-
lican associates would look upon it as
consistent with his political career up
to the time that he permitted himself
to be led astray.

Put In Jail for Contempt.

Some time ago an injunction
was granted by the court restrain
ing Albert Brown, who lives up
about Pauls Valley, from cutting
timber on certain lands.
Brown was duly notified by
warning order, but, it seems, he
paid no attention to it. and kept
on cutting the timber. Mr..
Brown appeared before his honor
this morning and the court ordered
him to Jail for contempt.
He will now have plenty of time
to think over the matter, and per-
haps when he gets out, he will
think that the law is mighty and
must be obeyed.

CLEARING RidHT.oF.wAY.
Nearly All the Property North Of

The purchasing committee OF the
right of-way committee is making
great headway. They report hav-
ing purchased nearly all the prop
erty north of Main street on the
right of.way. There are few OBJ
stinate cases they have to deal
with, and a few of the owners are
non residents and can't be seen
just now.
One of the Choctaw surveyors is
now working with the committees,
checking mp the property as fast as
the deeds are made out.
The railroad people are very
anxious that we should turn over
the right of.way to them as soon as
possible, so that they can com
mence grading right here. Unless
this is done they will be compelled
to commence their work furthei
out.
The committee asks us to agar
urge the people to be prepared t
pay their subscriptions when called
upon, and if convenient they nigh
step up to Ii. g. Potterf's ofiic,
and pay it. 1t takes money to bu!

you tender him the msney for hi

SHOOTING All PussHTr.
A Prominent Farmer shot by Bad
Indian.

By telephone we learn of a
shooting affray which occurred at
Russet last night, as result OF
which w. w. Hendrix, a promi-
nent farmer living one mile west,
was shot and seriously wounded by
Alonzo Underwood, an Indian
with a bad reputation.
Underwood had quarrcled with
a man named Harris at that place
late yesterday afternoon and went
home to get his gun. Returning,
he hid the weapon beneath the
back door of the grocery store OF
w. w. Bib.
About 10 O'Clock last night while
Mr.. Hendrix and some other gen
tlemen were sitting in Mr.. Bibbs'
store, Mr.. Hendrix arose and went
to the back door to close il. lie
had hardly closed the door before
three shots were fired by some one
on the outside. The first shot hii
Mr.. Hendrix, striking him in the
lower part of the bowels.
Messrs Bibb and Mullen rushed
outside to ascertain who was the
would be'assassin and Underwood
was found to be the man. They
took his gun from him and brought
him inside the store to guard him
until officers could arrive. Dur,
ing the night however Underwood
escaped and Deputies Bridges anC
Brown, who were here from Tisho
mingo can find no trace of him.
AS soon as it was discovered
that Mr.. Hendrix had been shot h,
was taken to the Hamilton druI
store where he remained until thii
morning when he was taken home
Doubts are entertained for his re
covery.
1t is thought that Underwood
mistook Mr.. Hendrix for tn,
man Harris with whom he haC
quarreled in the forenoon
and who had been in the store tina
night.

THE WRITTEN AGREEMENT.
Tells When the Choctaw VIII Begin
Their Work.

Under the written agreement
with the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Gulf Railway company, the com
pany agrees to commence the con
struction Of the line at and from
the city of Ardmore within fifteen
days from the time when they are
notified that the right-of way is
ready for its use aud occupancy
through Ardmore, and to prose
cute the construction OF the road
with all reasonable dispatch, aud
unless compliance is made as above
written within sixty days after
such notice the said company for
feits al. rights under the contract.
They further agree and bind them
selves that in event they do not
build the road in required time
they will refund all monies
expended in procuring right Of
way, whether individual money
or that of citizens signing sub
scription lists.
BY the above it will be seen that
the citizens of Ardmore must first
procure the right-of.way and then
they are in a position to complain
if the railroad does not do its part.
The signers of the contract with
the company are careful men who
have the best interests of the city
at heart. They have carefully
considered the possibilities as to
failure and success.
The signers can not get the
right.of-way unless they have the
money. 1t is highly important
that every person who subscribed
as well as others who did not, pa!
promptly to the committee and no
delay giving reasons such as y
will wait until | hear the whistle,
or i understood | was not to pa.
until next fall" etc. The matte
has been thoroughly advertise
and it would seem that every on
should know that we must do on
part first.
The committee can not ask th
property owners along the right
of-way to remove until they al
paid.
About 100 subscribers have pal
aud all who appear to have the in
terest of the matter at heart al
paying when requested.
The objection urged by a few
that the right of way as laid ou
from Hartshorne is disputed by tn
Denison and Northern. With thi
yonr committee has nothing to do
The Choctaw has bound itself ur
der heavy penalties TO complete
road to Ardmore within a specific
time. 1t is bound to secure il
own route outside of Ardmore an
it will do it.
1t has fraudulent rivals to con
tend with and we have every as
surance that it will secure the wa
surveyed.
Let us all do our part now an
work faithfully for Ardmore.
