 The young man was brought here on the Choctaw Saturday and an ambulance took him to the hospital immediately.
 Hall Sanders and Gordon Cas- teel, the latter a special officer for the day, fell out over the shooting of fireworks within the town limits and was warned to 20 beyond the limits to shoot Roman candles and other fire works.
 From what can be learnedthey did not go to where the line was drawn, and Casteel came upon them as they were sending rockets and candles up. He told them that they were not outside the limits set down in the order governing such matters, and tc this Sanders made some reply tc the effect that they were as fa1 as he (CasteeD had told them tc go. Over this point a dispute arose and the lie was passed. Al this point Sanders pulled off his coat as though he intended to at tack Casteel. It is stated that he (Casteel) then pulled his gur and fired with fatal effect.
 Both young men stand high II be+Amn where they reside an6 the tragedy was a shock to tht whole town. The affair is deeply deplored by all. Sanders wal the youngest son of J. B. Sander. of ForrGst City.
