4 TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
Miss Robbie Largent Accidentally
Killed by Ira Noyes
Pistol Accidentally Discharged
He Started 70 Place Weapon In
His Pocket; She Seized It
and in the Scnffis 1t
Went of.

Dne Of the ssddest accidents the
Express has been called upon to
chronicle tor many months past
happened last night about 10 O.
clock, when Miss Robbie Largent,
popular young lady Of this city,
md central operator at the Bell
telephone cOnpaOy's office, was
accidentally shot snd killed by Ira
Noyes, night ticket clerk at the
Rock Island depot.
Miss Largent was 28years Ofage,
and lived with her brother and sis
ter at the corner of fifth and Iowa
avenue. She and Mr.. NOyes were
good friends, and last night be
called upon her at her home. Mr..
Noyes always uses a revolver at
the depot for the protection OF
himself and his employees, and it
had been his custom to carry the
weapon to and from his home, as
be went on aud off duty. When be
left home last night for work be
Dad the weapon, a "A calIbrc Colts
and while calling on Mics Largent,
she gun becoming heavy in his
pocket, he removed it and placed
il on the porch where the two sat :.
When he went TO leave. about 10
O'Clock, be started TO place II IN
bis pocket, when Miss Largent seiz-
ed il and friendly scuifle ensued.
rne pistol, in some manner was
discharged, the ball grrz Dg the
back of Miss Largents band, aud
entering her left eye, tnrougn the
lover nd, coming out at the top OF
her head, the whole top OF her head
oeing blown off.
when the accident happened Ira
immediately aroused The household.
and ran for DR.. Pei quite, living
one blocE distant, lie also arous-
ed the neighborhood. Mics Lar
gent was taken Into the house,
where everything possible WAS
lone for her, but there was no hope
from the FIRST. Despite the terri
BILE nature Of the wound, she ling
cred until 6 O'Clock this morning,
when death mercifully ended hei
suffering.
The terrible tragedy has cast
gloom over the entire community.
Miss Largent was a bright, vivac-
lous, lovable girl, whose friends
we're legion, and whose hearts are
plugged in deepest grief at her un-
timely end. No possible blame
for the accident can attach to Mr.,
n Dyes, who is almost insane with
gIief at the const quences Of the
young womans' unthOughted act
ion. Ira hes worked IN Chickasha
tor over a year, and has won the
confidence and esteem of both his
employers and the general public.

young lady 10 theiy bereavement
II is one Of those sad tragedies
which cannot be avoided. they

minds and hearts which can never

Miss Largent have not yet been

PULL TOGETHER.

Where two or three are con
cerned, no matter in what enter
prise, TO insure success, it is alb.
solutely necessary to pull to
gether. This being the general
rule in small undertakings, it
will readily be seen with how
much greater force it will apply
when the object sought is a
good live town. The old adage,
What man has done, man can
do, fits the case today just as
well as in by gone ages.
In great country like the
Panhandle where the natural
advantages are about the same
the growth of the respective
towns or any particular county
must of necessity fall and de-
pend upon the eXertions of those
men VINO are its citizens. You
cannot successfully run any bus
mess without customcrs-peo-
ple-and if you do not already
have them and have a business
to keep up, you must hit upon
some plan to bring them here.
This is not very hard to do if
all concerned will but pull to
gether.
Few towns in the Texas Pan
handle have the natural adyan.
tages of Canyon City, none are
more gifted in that direction
and Randall county is just as
good as any other section of the
great Plains country. This be
ing granted we have surely as
much to offer home seeking
people--those in love with the
fertile plains-as any other sec
zion can give. We have only 70

Settle the country first with
cit zens like these and then the
town will grow of its own &C

have far more than mere pass

Would you like to see Randall
county grow in this direction:
Then you must pull and pull
strongly together.
To accomplish just such
things boards of trade and com
mercial clubs are organized.
Many neighboring towns, some
of them much smaller than Can
yon City, already have them.
Randall county has fully as
much, if not more to offer in the
way of natures bounteous gifts
and why should not our citizens
make them known? Let us not
hide our light under bushel
measure.
In organization there is
strength, and if only the real
estate men will pull together
much good can be done in the
direction Of building up the
county.
Think about this all who are
concerned in the building up of
town and county and then call
around and talk with US about
it for be assured that in all
things which tend toward this
object, the News will gladly
cooperate.
We must pull together or take
