SUTTON HOLDS THE
1872 CHAMPIONSHIP
Successfully Defends Billiard Title
Against Hoppe Who Was Not
in Form.

New York, Dec. 19.-George Sutton
still holds the worlds championship
at 1872 balk line billiards. having last
night successfully defended the title
which he won from George Slosson a
few months ago, against the challenge
of Willie Hoppe, who holds the worlds
championship at the 1S-1 game. The
score was 500 to 25S The contest,
which took place in the big hall of the
Grand Central palace, was disappoint-
ing. as young Hoppe did not play up to
the standard expected of him. He was
the favorite but from the beginning
seemed to be off. and in only two in
nings did he show anything like his
championship form
Sutton jumped into the lead at the
start, and. with 107 and so in the first
two innings, secured an advantage
which the younger player could not
overcome. Sutton was in fine form
but at times he seemed i'll at ease He
ran out in the 10Th inning

Get Good Rates.
The railways have promised TO give
very favorable rates to the annual SEES
sion. From all territory west of Penn
sylvania a rate of one fare plus %
cents for the round trip will certainly
be made, tickets good for at least 80
days. Further tickets from Oklahoma
City to all points in the southwest will
be sold TO delegates at the same rate,
good for 80 days, and good for stop
overs. 1t is expected TO have an eX-
cursiOn from Oklahoma City to the
gulf coast. with stOp-offs and entertain
ment at several cities on the way. The
southwest can be depended on for hos
pitality and entertainment. And, of
course. Oklahoma will do the proper
thing. and then some. 1t says the en-
tertainment will be new and full of

will dedicate it, The delegates can
see the fair after the session closes.
Avoid Sunday Travel.
1T is proposed to open the session
on Thursday, to avoid Sunday travel.
Many of the delegates object to Sunday
travel. Also. when the sessions open
on Tuesday and close on Friday. many
delegates must leave home Saturday
and do not reach home till some time
Monday, if they are at all of the ses-
sion, as they live along branch rail-
ways on which there are not Sunday
trains.
1T is felt, also, that it will be an

clusion of fact from that already stated
in his annual report.
Heard Same DeniaIs.
"The afidavits," says he, contain in
substance the same=.denials of compiled
toy or knowledge by enlisted men that
were made to the inspecting officers,
together with evidence intended to
show there was opportunity for per
sons not in the battalion to disguise
themselves in castoff uniforms of en-
listed men and to secure empty cart
ridge shells and throw them on the
streets of the town." The suggestion,
he declares. is so grotesque in its i'm
probability and absurdity as to hardly
call for discussion or comment.
Did Not Disband Companies.
In answer to the contention which
the secretary says has been put forth
that the president had no power to
make the order of discharge because.
if he has, he may disband the army
it is argued there is a clear distinction
between disbanding a company, bat
talon or regiment, and the discharge
of certain of its members, as in the
case of the men of the 25th infantry.
and the secretary says the order named
the persons who were discharged.
They did not embrace all members of
the three companies, and Immediately
upon the discharge of the men, an or
der was issued filling up the three COM
panies by transfer from other compa-
MES or regiment. $50 the entity and
service of the companies are continued
in the army"
Case I'm Point.
Taft instances a case where some
men of the 4th cavalry 'roused to pas
sion and violence by the killing of one
of their number, lynched the person
charged with the crime" In that case.
he says, the judge advocate maintained
there was no evidence to fix the re-
spOnsibility for the act, and that the
secretary of war, strictly speaking, had
no authority to disband the companies
involved as such. He held further that
''he may indeed discharge all the men
of such companies. enlisting others in
their stead, but this would be treating
innocent and guilty alike, and the dis
charge would be. in law, honorable
and in case guilty would be a premium
upon crime
1t is stated since the decision re-
ferred to the practice has been put in
force by the regulation of issuing dis
charges without honor in which there
can be no reenlistment without execu-
tive permission.
In concluding, however, Taft declares
that there is nothing in this precedent
which, in the slightest degree, affects
the legality of the present order, for
the principle upon which the decision
rests recognizes fully the complete
power of the president to discharge
every member of any organization

RIGHT NOW is the best time
to buy real estate in Rock Is

First - Because both building
material and desirable lots are
going up every day, and will
never be lower in price than at
present.
Second - Because the winter
season is commonly regarded as
poor time to sell real estate,
and people really wanting to sell

lower price in order to find a

The weather during the open season

ground but a couple of days. Hence
an unusually large portion of the birds

| They shot him in the right arm Git was
afterward amputated above the elbow
"A number of shots were also fired
at two other policemen. The raiders

of the shots being aimed at a guest
sitting by window. They shot into a
saloon. killing the bartender and wound
ing another man. At the same time
other raiders fired into another house
in which women and children were
sleeping, two of the shots going through
the mosquito bar over the bed in which
the mistress of the house and her two
children were lying. Several other
houses were struck by bullets. 1t was
at night. and the streets of the town
are poorly lighted, so that none of the
individual raiders were recognized; but
the evidence of many witnesses of all
classes was conclusive to the effect that
the raiders were negro soldiers. The
shattered bullets, shells, and clips of
the government rifles, which were
found on the ground, are merely cor
the houses. some of which it appears
must. from the direction, have been
fired from the fort just at the moment
when the soldiers left it. Not a bullet

Taken by Surprise.
"The tOwnspeople We're completely
surprised by the unprovoked and muir
derous savagery of the attack. The sol
diers were the aggressors from start to
finish. They met with no substantial
resistance. and one and all who took
part in that raid stand as deliberate
murderers, who did murder one man,
who tried to murder others, and who
tried to murder women and children.
The act was one of horrible atrocity,
and so far as l am aware, unparalleled
for infamy in the annals of the United
States army
1.-The white officers of the companies
were completely taken by surprise, and
at first evidently believed that the
firing meant that the townspeople were
attacking the soldiers. 1t was not until
2 or 8 o'clock in the morning that any
of them became aware of the truth

if any of them were blameworthy and

brought before court-martial.
Gas to the noncommissioned officers
and enlisted men, there can be no doubt
whatever that many were necessarily
privy, after if not before the attack: to
the conduct of those who took actual
part in this murderous riot / refer to

Dillon Merchant Killed.

Dillon, s. c., September 29.-John L.
Balm, merchant, whose store is oppo
site the Dillon Cotton Mills, was shot
and instantly killed by Kelly Quick, one
of the bosses at the mill, to-day at IL
O'Clock. ~
The difficulty is said to have begun be-
tween Balm and Quick's wife. Mrs.
Quick reported to her husband that
Balm had cursed her and used very In
sultipg language toward her. Quick
armed himself and went to Bain's
store. Balm saw him coming and met
him outside, where they began cursing
each other. Soon both drew pistols and
several shots were fired. Balm. appa-
rently finding some defect In his pistol,
rushed to his store, procured shotgun,
loaded 1t and appeared again upon the
scene.
In the meantime Quick rushed into an
adjacent store, seized gun, loaded il
with buckshot, and as Balm advanced to.
ward the door, calling upon him to come
out, he fired, the whole load taking effect
in Bain's left arm and side.
He was just in the act of firing, but
at once, upon being shot, wheeled and
re-entered his store, laid his gun upon
the counter, exolaiming to his clerk,
"Pm dead man." He reeled and fell
upon the floor and died in about three
minutes. Quick has been arrested.

Asks Return Of $3.50, 900, 900.


Cherryvale. Kansas. September 29.-
The fire demand of the Farmers Union
upon the politicians is for the return to
the various cotton producing States of
the South of $3.50, 900 collected by
the Federal Government during the two
years after the civil war. The resolution
asking for the return of the money spe-
CITIES that, when returned, it shall be re-
turned into the treasures of the various
States for educational purposes 'in the
rural DISTRICTS"
Copies Of this demand are being sent
TO every Representative in Congress and
every United Statea Senator, and u Silo
seven hundred thousand members of the
Union throughout the South and South
west are urged to circulate petitions to
be forwarded to Congress asking the
passage of o bill for the refunding of
this money.
Then the Union goes on to develop
further the plen for consolidation Of
all farming organizations. 1t appeals to
all labor unions and trade organizations
everywhere to buy only the products of
members of the Union. Products of
members Of the Union will be- sufficiently
labeled. In this way the organizers and
executive officers Of the Union believe
they can control the prices of cotton,
corn, wheat, oats, cattle, and all other
products of the farm.
