consider the better chance the pupils
will have and that they can be in

YOU will not mind the small extra

HOPES TO ERADICATE 1T

Guthrie, o. T., June 10.-A case much
out of the ordinary in Oklahoma has been
reported TO Secretary Thomas Morris Of
the Oklahoma Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission by Logan county farmer by the
name of Mitchell, who states that a num-
Der of his horses are afflicted with the
Spanish itch or mango. Mr.. Mitchell, last
fall shipped to his farm eleven miles
south of Guthrie, a carload of western
horses. and this spring the mango de-
veloped among them. Mr.. Mitchell is
taking steps to prevent the spread of the
disease and is in hopes that he can erad-
icate it from his farm.
This is the first time that reports have
been received at the Office of the secre-
tary of the sanitary commission relative
to prevalence of the mango among horses
and considerable surprise was manifested
among cattlemen when the fact became
known that a case existed in Logan
county.
No new developments are reported In
the Beaver county mango cases. 1t is
known that mango exists among horses
and Secretary Morris may take steps TO
ascertain if horses in that county are
afflicted with the disease.

Victim of the Struggle Was an limo
cent Bystander.

says: Saturday night at a dance at
Bert Musselmans home, about three
miles and d half southeast Of Stroud,
Riley Hinds was shot and killed while
looking on an afTray but taking no part
in it and Tom Reynolds dangerously cut
with a knife.
1T seems that at about o'clock in
the morning four of the fellows who were
attending the dance and drinking some
went out of the house and finished up a
bottle of whiskey which they had. At
ter the bottle was emptied and thrown
down. Dave Cook, one of the four. be-
gan shooting at it with a IS Colts. Mus
selman> went out of the house to stop
the shooting and in a scuffle which he
and others were making to get the gun
from Cook the gun was discharged and
Riley Harris, who was standing forty
or fifty feet away and not taking any
part in the scuffle, was shot. The ball
struck him about the stomach, going
clear through him and out of his back,
killing him instantly. Whether the gun
was accidentally discharged or fired on
purpose by Cook no one knows.
In the melee Tom Reynolds was severe
" cut with a knife just below the heart
and is said to be dangerously hurt.
1T is also thought that Cook was cut,
but it is not known for certain. as he has
made his escape TO the Creek country and
is not reported to have been seen by
anyone since then.
