That villainous sheet, the Helena
Herald, after betraying the Republi-
car party for thirty pieces of silver, "
has the supreme gall to attribute the
less of the state to the Republicans
in 1900 TO the "insolent domineering
of Boss Carter" While pretending to
BE- a Republican paper the Herald hire
llngs were doing their best TO promote
the political interests of w. A. Clark.
1t i'll becomes this treacherous and
sordid gang of journalistic pirates to
make accusations against anyone.
When the Republican party of this
state gets so low down that II will rec
ognize the Herald as its organ, or even
ar aid to party success it will invite
and deserve defeat.

We want to assure the Democrats
of Caddo County after a careful
analysis of the vote in the election
Just held, that Caddo County is
Democratic. The Democrats have
elected good portion of their tick
ct. All of the election machinery
was in the Repu blican Partys hands.
They had the naming of the voting
precincts, and any one by going over
the county map and looking up the
location of the voting precincts will
see that they were so situated as to
give the Republicans the advantage,
and they had majority of lhe judg-
es and clerks, which is always used
to the advantage of the party in
power. If any one doubts this
statement, the Democrat is in pos
session of facts to prove that it was
done in this county. The Republi-
cans got their vote out, they had

1t Was a Desperate Deed.

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 5,-W. d. Fos-
sett, United States marsnal, said to-
day that the killing Of the outlaws,
Bert" Casey and Edward Simms, by
Erred" Hudson and F. NJ. Luckett,
near Cleo Springs last Monday was
one of the most desperate encounters
he knew of in his experience in run
ming down criminals. For six weeks
Hudson and Luckett had been travel
ing with them as supposed members of
their gang, A plan was laid to trap
Casey and Simms by taking them to
Cleo Springs to rob bank.
The party camped in pasture three
miles from there last Saturday. Casey
sent Hudson to Cleo Springs to look
over the ground. Hudson told Luck
EFT that on Monday morning they
would cook breakfast, wash the dishes
and then sit down by the campfire to
oil their pistols, Hudsonopposite Casey
and Luckett opposite Simms When
Hudson nodded his head to Luckett
each was to ''cover his man" The
plan worked without a hitch. When
Hudson covered" Casey he said
throw up your hands, Casey, ard
don't go after your gun, or I'll kill
you, for have the drop on you.
Casey reached for his pistol and
Hudson fired, the bullet striking Casey
in the chest. Casey fred and missed
Hudson, who then fired three more
bullets into Casey's chest While
dying Casey struggled to get aim, but
fired his pistol in the air.
Luckett was slower in covering
Simms, who drew his pistol and fired
once, missing his man, after which his
pistol failed to work. Luckett sho
Simms four times.
A farmer who had gone to the pas
ture to look after his cattle, witnesseS
the fight. The firing was at such clos'
range that the faces of the outlaws
were powder burned,
Had the bank robbery scheme failed
the outlaws were to be led into a tral
by attempting to liberate their partner

and on trial for the murder of ia.

Springs in August, 1901.
Luckett and Hudson we're release,
from the federal Jail here about tw
months ago on bond. Luckett
charged with 'bootlegging" in WOOD
county, and Hudson with robbing

are said to have known Casey for
year or two. Their original plan wa
to capture him alive, but both Case
and Simms were constantly armed
even when eating, and at night Case

: alone. Luckett and Hudson decide
that the only way to get the outlaw
was to kill them and this was done.

money to do it, they were organized
to do it. You need not look at more
than one precinct to satisfy your
self that the above statements are
true, and that is the precinct at Old
Ana1arko. If this precinct had
been looked after by the DemocraN
as it should have been, the result of,
this election would be different,
The republicans virtually had their
own way at this precinct. We
don't blame them, but we do want
to emphasize the fact that with a
good organization and the voters of
Caddo County voting their senti-
ments, this county is Democratic
by 500 majority Now let the
Democrats get together and organ.
ize for the next battle, and victory
will crown our efforts.

/. Jun.. rn...r. Opening.

"The Denver EXPIRES" was the
opening event OF the season at the
La Junta Theatre last Tuesday
evening, and the performance was
witnessed by large aunience.
The "Denver Express" is melo-
drama OF the mellow and thrilling
kind, in which virtue is wronged
and righted and the villain gets
his just deserts. The members Of
the company acquitted themselves
very creditably, and the opening
was an auspicuous one. One Of
the most pleasing portions Of the
evenings entertainment was the
musical programme Of Wonderly's
new orchestra, every member Of
which is star, and who collect
lively comprise musical organiza
ton that would be q credit to .
much larger city than La Junta.
The personnel Of the new orches
ira is ~ follows: First violin and
