INTEREST ON WARRANTS.
Taxpayers Seem Indifferent to AIIeqed
Irregularities.

Guthrie, O. T, May 1S.-Auditor Baxter
today received a letter from S. T. Ech-
OILS, county clerk of Greer county. call
ing his attention to the fact that c. w.
Cole, county treasurer of that county
was paying interest on county warrants
from the date of their issue instead of
from the time they We're registered, and
suggested that the auditor take some
steps to stop it.
Lchols was candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for county treasurer
against Mr.. Cole and he brought this ir-
regularity to the attention of the Demo-
cratic voters of Greer county in various
publications. but his appeals failed to
arouse the sluggish Democracy of Greer
county, and Cole was renominated for the
office he now holds. He showed that
Cole had paid out fully one hundred and
sixty dollars of the peoples money IL
legally. but that did not seem to make
any difference 10 the Democratic voters
Of the county
Auditor L. w. Baxter has not made up
his mind what 10 do but Deputy Auditor
r. p McCabe suggested that it would
be a good thing for Mr.. Echols TO fight
out his own battle and go into the dis
trict court and have Cole enjoined from
paying out money illegally.

woh fell back into the cave. He ther
came in the house and shot the girl in
/ the shoulder and told her to shell ou
the money. She gave him about $50 an6
said that was all there was in the house
The murderer said he knew there was
more, and in the mean time the hired
man, who had been shot through the leg,
began to moan and make roar in the
cave. He told the girl to stay there
until he went out and finished that guy in
the cave and he went out and shot the
hired man dead. While he was doing that
the girl made d run for life to the nearby
timber. That was her story.
Everybody blamed Ames for the muir
der, but the girl said it was not he. She
described him as about % years of age,
and told the kind of clothes he wore
Somebody saw man near the place the
day of the murder suiting the descrip-
tiOn and the same man was seen in
Chandler. but he disappeared and was
never found. 1t was afterward learned
that Anes had an acquaintance at Mus
kogee in the Indian Territory suiting the
description, but he could not be found
there
Some time after the murder Ames
came back and claimed the estate of his
wife. There was no evidence against him
and so l had him arrested for defraudng
the old woman out of the s., 400 and con-
victed him at the last April term of the
district court. He got three years in the
pen, and when he left for the penitentiary
he had just 500 of that money left and
that was tied up where he could not get
it at all.
Now 1 would like for somebody to tell
me how that scoundrel came to go into
the cave to finish that hired man and let
the girl get away. If the girl had any
thing to do with the killing why would
the fellow shoot her. II Ames sent the
man there to Kill the family what would
that benefit him. and if ne wanted to beat
the old woman why didn't he skip out
with that $3,000 he invested ir Lincoln
county.
That girl is crippled, but she is getting
well and she is the one thar will get all
the land. Ames made a gfreat howl when
he was sentenced to the pen. but the
judge told him that he was not entitled
to any sympathy. He was certainly a
strange character but just how bad he
is I have never been able to make up in
my mind. 1 learned that he was in
Arkansas after getting the 81 400 and that
he had found another rich widow down
there. Now you fellows figure this all
out just how it was and then let me
know, for l would like to learn

That people never before applied the ma

due to the fact that the varying size OF

Morrison Bros. at its Best===at Your Service.


The Morrison Bros. Store is right in the heart of the clothing
district in the Pecos Valley and it took good clothing to build up
this splendid business right in the midst of the sharpest competi-
ton in this community. But Morrison Bros. clothing is distin-
guished by a style and finish that is not expected to be found eX-
cept in high price custom-tailored clothing: And yet after all,
the best part of Morrison Bros Clothing is in the inside-the un.
seen workmanship, tie hand-stitching and thorough staying
throughout the inside of the garment which the purchaser never
sees. But the man that buys Morrison Bros. Clothing discovers
that it wears better, keeps it's shape better than any other ready
made clothing he ever wore. Then we save the man several dol
lars OF actual value on every suit or overcoat he buvs. This a-
counts for the remarkable success of the Morrison Bros. clothing
business in Roswell We shall always give YOU the best for $40,
the best for $3.50. the best for $15 and up to $50.
