HAD ROUGH HOUSE,
Traders on Change Hold an Old
! Z Fashioned End-of- the-Year
Celebration.
The sedate Program Of Recent Years
Was Not in Evidence
,'Ig%gJ o. Y71
Today

Some of the unruly bulls broke out Of
range this morning: and tore around in
the open at the Chamber of Commerce.
A lot OF bears came out Of their idens and
mixed up in the ARRAY. 1t was the last
day Of trading for 1902. No celebration
had been prepared and the officers rather
hoped the old custom of celebrating would
be passed over. But the young element
was hard to control and as soon as one
critter began to feel his oats there was a
contagion of exuberance, a break from
! the pit and then a. stampede and the SEES
sion wound up in great confusion.
| Some Of the younger element were dis,
appointed because there had been no pro-
gram prepared These rebels roamed
about restessly, finally collecting around
the cash tables. :
About II a. m. policeman came in
| on business and he was hustled into the
pit and put through course Of setting
up exercises. After he ESCAPED the pit
quieted down until President James Mar
| shall mounted the platform and put to a
vote a motion to adjourn at noon, which
was carried with roar.
Five minutes before the close a crowd
seized James Everington and mounted
him on a table, demanding a speech. Mr.
Everington began a scholarly grafton,
but a ten-pound bag Of wheat struck his
feet and he went down. simultaneously
a great paper bag Of corn hit the pulpit
over the pit and burst like canister
shot upon the crowd. In an instant there
was red war. Billy Mclean sprang to
the front, shrieking for vengeance, and
| in solid mass the pit gang moved out
upon the enemy intrenched behind the
tables. AS they advanced they drew a
! terrific fire from the crowd. Hundreds
of small paper bags filed with wheat and
flour shot out and deluged the attacking
force. But although some went. down,
| the attackers charged bravely on, clinch-
ed the enemy, and there followed the
toughest rough house eyer seen on
! change. 4, :
| "Hote'. Thomas was thrown down and
| jumped upon by twenty men, but he
crawled under a table, came back over the
top of it and Jumped on the others. Les
! lie Hardy George Case Ned Brown, Todd
Lewis and an unknown man, evidently a
visitor on change, became locked in a
fearful struggle and could not be pried
apart. Tom Cassidy held out against
| four men until overpowered. The heavy
tables were brushed aside in the rush and
a crowd of struggling men made with
ing heap in the open space. Some one
found a large black satchel belonging to a
visitor and this went through the air
! towards the Western Union booth, strik-
ing Manager Wise on the cheek and car
oming upon the head OF Edward Duga1.
| The operators forsook their instruments
/ in confusion. The session closed in the
widest disorder and the quotations Of the
Chicago market were not posted, some OF
! the markers having fled for safety, and
| those who remained could not distinguish
1 the telegraphic quotations above the ter
| ific din of the floor.
But 1t was good time.

leaving the store. instead Of walking far
enough to reach the walk leading to the

spicy paper on 1.-THE Status Of the Amer
lean Teacher and later took part in the
round table on science.
The trend of all Of the legislative sug-
gestions is for the improvement of the
rural schools by providing competent and
efficient supervisors, better methods Of
administration and better trained teach
ers. The part of the county superin
tendent in this work was the burden Of
President Races annual address this
morning. He showed that any business
man or farmer would think it absurd to
expect results under a superintendent
whose powers were as limited as those Of
the county superintendent who has no
power either to appoint or nominate
teachers, choose equipment, or insist upon
suitable buildings Being without power
the superintendent supervision amounts
to little and the schools are deprived Of
the benefit of expert knowledge. The
progress under the present system has
been due to the personality of the su-
perintendents. . ..s
In order to secure competent officers,
Mr. Race would make the office worthy,
Of the man. He would have buildings put
UP and equipped by board OF Which
the superintendent should be chairman. He
would establish an educational Qualifica-
ton recurring the candidates for the Of
f1ce to hold firstEgrade certificates and to
have at least two years experience. He
would then provide adequate salaries run
ming from 81, 900 a year, with travelling.
expenses, for counties having fifty dis
tricts or less, to $4,000, with we'll paid
assistant and a clerk for counties hay
ing 100 or more districts
Mr. Race would have a minimum term
of seven months and an enrolment Of
sixty days instead of forty, to secure the
apportionment Salaries should be equal
to those Of grade and high school teach
ers Consolidation he regarded as an ade-
uuate remedy, but one that is not coming
at once.
Superintendent osen's Views.
Superintendent J. W. Olsen. opened the
discussion and pointed out that the estab-
lishment Of an educational contest Tor
superintendents would require d constitu-
tional amendment, which Is so difficult as
to be impracticable He wished arrange
ments for more adequate supervision and
better superintendents. He added the
suggestion Of paying the expenses o.
school officers to attend periodic confer
ences with county superintendent as 8
practical and helpful step and called fol
earnest consideration Of county boards Of
education.

Dispute over Land.

This afternoon a case came up in

the name of Chas. Roberts represents
one side, while Mrs. Anna Morris and
Miss Lizzie Bollman represents the
other.
1t seems from what the parties say
Of the affair, that Roberts secured
some property from the ladies', which
was situated close to the Wilmington
Park The ladies say they had an un-
derstanding that the land between
Roberts place and the park was still
their property
Roberts claimed that he had a YER
bal understanding to the contrary,
and was putting up a stand on the dis
puted ground. The two ladies' remon-
strated and the man seemed to con
tend for his rights. An AK and a pis-
tol are said to have figured in the
misunderstanding

Duncan, I. T.. July 1.-R. r. Living.
good, from near Hope, was in the
city this morning and reports that a
party of citizens from near Hope and
NARROW got in pursuit OF two horse
thieves in the vicinity of NARROW yes
terday afternoon.
The horse thieves were going east
along the Bailey road, but their
pursuers got so close to them that
they abandoned three horses and
two mules, which they were leading,
and left the road, with only the
horses they were riding. The aban-
doned animals were taken to Marlow
and placed in charge of the city
marshal of that place. They seem
to be Indian stock, and have the Ben,
nett brand
II is believed that when the horse
thieves turned out of the road they
lodged their pursuers and went back
west into the new country. One OF
the men answers to the description
of Jack Pritchard, a notorious horse
thief wanted in Texas. where several
rewards are out for his arrest. The
members of the posse know the other
man, who lives in that section, and
for that reason they refuse to di
vulge any particulars concerning
him.
