FIRST GAME PLAYED.
Shawnee Takes Oklahoma City to a
Running Match.

Oklahoma City, o. T, May 5.-The open
ing game of the season in the South
western League attracted a crowd of
about 4,O0o enthusiastic fans to Colcord
park Sunday afternoon to witness the
contest between Oklahoma City and Shaw
nee The weather was fine for baseball
and tn season opened under most aus
picious circumstances. The contest, how
ever, was very one-sided. Shawnee
was wet represented in the crowd, a
large excursion having been run into the
city says the Oklahoman.
The game was won by. Shawnee by A
score of to 2. Until the SIKH inning
the score was very close, but in this
inning the Oklahoma City team wen.
all to pieces and Shawnee batted out runs
at will. Nothing was more evident by
the games put up by the two teams than
that Shawnee has Oklahoma City clear
" outclassed in it's baseball team. The
Shawnee team made pygmies OF the To-
Gals. Every member OF theif team is a
ball player and knows the game all the
way through, while the Oklahoma City
boys were seemingly unable to bat, field
or run bases. 1t is hardly necessady to
say that the large crowd which saw
the game was disgusted with the poor
exhibition they gave of the national game.

TO PUNISH VIOLAToRs.
Live Stock Commission After Vioat-
ors of Quarantine Laws.

Guthrie. O. T. May 5.-The Oklahoma
Live Stock Sanitary commission, through
its efficient officers, is making strenu-
Gus effort to punish all violators of quar-
antine regulations in the territory. This
work was started months ago and men
who violated the quarantine laws were
brought before the courts of various in
the territory. Since the weather grows
warmer there is more danger of immedi-
ate Infection if cattle are driven across
the lines, and the commission desires
above all things to prevent the spread
of infection in oklahoma.
Cases have been brought in counties
and convictions secured while other cases
are yet pending. Relative to the matter
Thomas Morris, secretary of the COM
mission, said today:
THE sanitary commission has been
quite active of late making investiga-
tions of reported violations of the quar-
antine laws by parties driving cattle
across the quarantine lines, and has filed
"a number of complaints in the probate
courts Of the different counties.
During the past week two convictions
have been secured and heavy fines col
lected. Three cases in Kay county were
called for trial the past week, but were
continued on application Of the defend
ants. The assistant attorney general.
Chas. Il. Woods assisted the county at
torney in each of these cases.
County attorneys of the different
counties willingly prosecute violators of
the quarantine regulations. and the attor-
ney general. who is an enthusiastic advo-
cate Of the enforcement of this law, is
rendering the commission valuable ser
vice. It is safe 10 say that the farmers
and stOekmen Of oklahoma realize as
never before that their safety and profit
depends on the strict enforcement Of
these laws and are reporting all viola
tions wherever made While the viola
tons now being prosecuted were all com
mitted during the winter OF early.spring,
when the proba bihty of infection is re-
mote. the prompt reporting and vigorous
prosecution VIII prevent movement across
the lines later when Infection would be
almost certain"

been brewing at that place for two years
has had dire results
\ messenger VINO brought the news TO
this city said old man McBloom, white
man living four miles from Braggs, step
ped out Of his back door. when he was
fired upon by negroes who were conceal
ed in his corn crib. AIcBloom lodged
back into his house and grabbed his gun.
As he did so he called TO boy on the
other side of the house TO run for help
that the negroes were numbering him.
The boy heard fusilade as he left.
The ferryman on the Arkansas river
came in at noon and stated that he could
see women and children leaving the
houses in the bottoms and gathering in
one house. He could also. hear lot of
shooting.
Saturday afternoon a bunch Of negroes
rode into Braggs and stacked their guns
in barber shop. Then they vent out
and proceeded to annoy and harrass the
whites. Later they took their arms and
left town. The shooting at AcBloom's
took place this morning.
Some time ago Sam Roach and Jim
Taylor, negroes, returned to Braggs from
the penitenuary. When they dropped off
the train they announced that there
would be hell in Braggs before long.
McBloom furnished the evidence that
convicted them before, and it is the sup
position that it is they who tried to am
bush him today. There has been race
trouble at Braggs for years. There are
now in the United States marshal's Office
twenty-three warrants for parties who
took part In a race riot there two months
ago. The officers have the warrants and
the twenty-three men Will be brought in
as well as any others who may be i'm
plicated in the present trouble.
4 negro woman reached this place at 4
o clock this afternoon. She tells a story
of a negro being ambushed and killed by
whites, and OF a negro uprising in which
six white men were killed and others in
jured. She is wildly excited and not
much confidence is placed in her story,
although the marshal admits that the
situation is very critical The officers
will reacn the scene about o'clock to-
night. 1t is feared trouble will follow
any attempt to make arrests.

NOT MUCH DAMAGE.
Unprecedented in History Was the
Last Frost.

Guthrie, o. T, May 5-Secretary j. B.
Thoburn of the territorial board of agri-
culture. stated today that the recent frost
did not do as much damage as first re-
ported He says that the frosts were
much more severe in the northern part
of the territory than in localities further
south. Reports from the Pottawatomie
county potato district show that while
the plants have been injured to some ex-
tent it is believed that the drop will not
be seriously affected in any manner.
Grapes were much injured but is it
thought that by pruning the vines, rid
ding them of frostbitten parts, they viii
produce a large yield.
The frost at this time Of the year was
unprecedented in the history of the .er-
ritory The weather has been extremely
cold for Oklahoma as at this time of the
year, the weather is usually very warm.
