ON THE GOLF LINKS.
Country Club Tournament and Card
Party.

One of the most successful tourna-
ments of the season was held at the
Club links on Thursday afternoon.
The honors Of the day were Won by
Miss Irene Roberts, Mrs Verne Ham
ilton, Art Baldauf and Grant Janney.
A merry crowd of golfers followed
the contestants around the course.
Tables were placed on the porch
and a picnic supper was served by
Green's.
About Iseventy-five guests attended
the evening card party, which was
voted to be one Of the most enjoyable
affairs that has been given.
The social side of the Club has
been a very pleasant feature of the
year and the credit is due to the un-
firing efforts of the House Commit
tee.
The Club house was deliberately
decorated. Out of town guests were
Miss Evangeline Shafer, Of Cedar
Rapids, and Mrs. M. e. Sherman, of
Des Moines. Miss Shafer and Mr..
G. w. Shockley were the winners OF
the card party, and the consultations
went to Mrs. M. Ada Sheppard and
Mr.. H. L. Spencer.
The entries for the tournament
with the score of each was as fol-
lows:
Judge Byron Preston, 70, and Chas.
e. Lofand, Sc.
Frank Janney, 81, and VIII w.
Spencer, IS.
Grant Janney, 40, and DIR. c. H,

BANKS ARE WELL FIXED.

The disquieting state of business in
Wall street does not, in the opinion
of Secretary Shaw, justify the gov.
eminent in attempting any measures
of relief. Although it is admitted
at the treasury department that the
Wall street situation has an unfortu-
nate effect on business conditions
throughout the country, tending in
some degree to destroy confidence
and to cause timidity on the part of
investors in Industrial and other en-
terprises, yet it is held that the
money market is in far better condi-
ton than it was a year ago. In fact,
the officials maintain that there is no
occasion for any effort on the part of
the government to swell the volume
of available currency.
Secretary Shaw has a statement
showing the general money condi-
lions a year ago and at the present
time. This shows that the bank re-
serves in New York are about $10,-
900, 1000 larger than last year at this
time. On July 1, 1902, the bank re-
serves in New York were about $10,-
100000. On the corresponding date
this year these reserves amounted to
100000. On September 1, 1902,
the reserves of the New York banks
aggregated $10,OOO,O0O more than the
reserves at this date. 1t is believed
that the money market will be in bet
ter condition on September 1 next
than on the corresponding date last
year. Under the circumstances, Sec
rotary Shaw has no idea of increasing
the federal deposits in the national
banks,

SIGNED FOR A SALOON
And Pastor will Likely be Church
ed at Conference.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 15.-An odd
battle will be fought to finish at Des
Moines, September 16, when the case
of the Rev. l.. M. Fenwick, colored
doctor, and patron of saloon keeper,
comes before the Methodist confer
ence for this district of the African
Methodist church. The members or
st. Marks church, Milwaukee, will de-
mand that the bishop discipline their
pastor at the Des Moines conference,
or at least remove him to some other
charge. And the cause of it all is
that he has been guilty of appending
his name to an application of Brother
Cox, one Of his parishioners, for q
saloon license. The preacher and
saver of souls did not approve Of the
application in his pastoral character,
but as a medical man. Now the mem
bers Of his church are angry that he
should have, as they call it, dis
graced the church. Mr.. Fenwick, by
the way, is pastor of congregation
whose house Of worship was formerly
owned by a brewery, which bought
the property from a poverty stricken
Lutheran congregation and sold 1t to
the colored churchmen at a consider
able profit. The preachers excuse
is that he would prefer that the cor
ner opposite his church be occupied
by a colored man with saloon, than
by a white man in the same business,
as 1t was sure to be a saloon anyhow.

THE RICHARDS CASE.
Former Deputy Marshal will be Tried
at Indianola in September.

Des Moines, Aug. Nv. A. Rich
ards, of this city, formerly of Ores.
ton, will go to Indianola the first
week of next month to stand trial for
alleged completely with Frank Beard
in the celebrated Sullivan robbery at
Hamilton. The Richards connection
with the case is still as full of mys-
terry as when he fed to Mexico to es.
cape arrest before anyone had even
so much as suspected he had any.
thing to do with it. Richards was
deputy United States marshal and it
was known that he had taken Beard
to the penitentiary twice and was
we'll acquainted with him. Richards
was running little restaurant at
Hamilton at the time of the rob-
berry. Beard was shot and captured
and sentenced to life Imprisonment.
The man Sullivan, who was held UP
and robbed, was too quick with his
gun for Beard, but the men who had
the $500 in cash got away. Influen-
tial friends shielded Richards and
brought him back to face trial and
have furnished bonds, and they be-
lieve he will never be convicted. It
is probable that Richards will ask for
a continuance of the case to another
term so that he will not be tried be-
fore Judge Gamble, who in pronounc-
ing sentence on Beard fiercely scored
Richards and denounced him as the
instigator of the crime.

ANOTHER DIDN'T KNOW
Earle Morgan, Victim of Orvillc
Wright's Loaded Gun.

Earl Morgan,a young man of about
twenty years of age, was shot and
badly wounded Sunday morning at
the Chas. Moore livery stable on
South First street by young lad
named Orville Wright, aged Is years.
The shooting was purely an accident
and another case Of didn't know it
was loaded"
Morgan is badly hurt and the out
come Of the wound will be uncertain
for number of days. The ball en-
tered at the left breast and narrow
ly missed the heart 1t look down
ward course toward the abdomen.
Its exact location at this time is only
a matter Of conjecture.
The injured lad was working at the
barn. He has no home here and was
sleeping at the barn in a chamber
over the Office of the stable. He has
no money and no friends in this city
where he can be taken. The room
at the livery stable is really not
fit place for the caring Of patient
in the condition of this boy. There
was no hospital to which the boy
could be taken and no place but the
county jail The wounded boy SAID
that he would rather be laid out in
the alley than be taken to Jail, and
SO he was left at the room over the
livery stable.
The accident occurred Sunday
morning about half past eight o'clock.
The apartments over the livery sta
BILE are separated by a board partition
and connected by a doorway. Young
Morgan was lying on a bed In the
west room. Wright had left his bed
and dressed himself and was waiting
for Morgan to get up. A twenty-five
calibre Winchester rife was sitting
in corner by a dresser in the front
room. Wright went to the gun and
picked it up to examine it. He did
not know that there were any shells
in the gun and was wholly ignorant
of the working of the piece. In some
way while he was working with the
gun it was discharged, and the bull.
let struck young Morgan fairly in the
breast as he was lying on the bed.
The boy says he felt slight sting
ing sensation and knew that he was
hit but did not suffer any pain untn
later. He grabbed the place where
the ball entered and tore open his
shirt and the blood was seen coming
from the mouth of the wound.
DR.. Windle was summoned imme.
diately and gave the wounded LAD
what attention and relief he could.
1t was impossible to locate the ball
or to tell the nature of the wound be-
yond the fact that it is very serious
and very dangerous wound.
Young Morgan's parents reside
near Peoria, ILL.,, and the boy has re-
Gently come from that place to work
in the barn. He has been in this
city before, however, and worked in
the same place some time ago.
Oryille Wright in whose hands
the gun was discharged was almost
frantic over the accident. He is do
ing everything that he possibly can
to attend to the wants of the wound
ed lad and is giving him every atten-
ton and answering his every wish.

AN EXCITING WOLF CHASE.
In Which Noted Indian Territorians
Indulge Near Ardmore.

Indulge Near Ardmore.
One Of the greatest wolf chases of
the Territory was that that was pulled
on noar Ardmore last Tuesday and
in which some OF the most noted men
Of the Territory participated.
Brice Scivally. who lives about thir.
ty miles east Of here near Pennington
creek. has as fine bunch Of wolf dogs
as can be found in the country. so II
was thought best TO go to his house
and secure his dogs for the occasion.
Among the party that went out for
the drive we will mention Frank Sew
ally Of Ardmore; w. c. Wells, Tisho-
mingo; Mr.. Chapman. Gainesville; w.
E. Stanley. ex-governor of Kansas
and now member Of the Dawes com
mission stationed at present at Tish-
omingo. and J. Blair Shoenfelt. Indian
agent OF Muskogee; also J. w. Zevely.
acting Indian inspector for the In.
dian Territory Of Tishomingo
In order that tho party might get
an early start they put out of Tisho-
mingo Friday morning at 5 o'clock
and inside of an hour had reached Mr..
Scivally's house and he and his dogs
accompanied the party.
They had been gone from the house
but short time when the dogs jump
ed large gray loafer wolf, well
known to all hunters of this country.
The loafer wolf. especially this one.
was as large as cur dog, and ran
like the wind.
For three hours they chased his
wolfship. On several occasions the
wolf and the dogs were In plain view
and then the excitement was at its
greatest.
The wolf is very cunning. however.
and when he is pushed by dogs. he
will make a break for prairie land in
hope Of finding a bunch of cattle,
through which he plunges. He knows
the cattle, seeing the dogs coming,
vii make a break for them, which
illustrates the chase and the wolf gen.
eraly makes his escape.
In this manner the wolf in this
chase got away, and the dogs never
could get anyways near him again.
Gov. Stanley and Mr.. Shoenfelt went
home delighted with their wolf chase.
however ane will have a suve enough
wolf story to tell their friends in the
future.
