W. E. WATKINS DISCOVERS A MAN TRYING TO OPEN CASH REGISTER.
Failing to Throw Up Hands as Or- dercd, Burglar Is Shot By Watkins and Wounded, But Later
 Makes His Escape--A
 Suspect Arrested.

w. F.. Watkins, senior member of Watkins Bros, hardware dral- CTS, had an exciting experience with burglar at their place of business shortly after twelve o'clock last night.
 MT. Watkins had just returned on No. 2 from a business trip south and on stepping from the train went to the store and un- locking the front door entered the building. On walking to the rear of the building he discovered the back door partly opened and his first thought was that some of the clerks had failed to fasten it. On closer examination, how ever, he discovered the screen door was also open and he at once come to the conclusion that he store had been visited by burg lar and taking his pistol from his pocket stepped into the doorway a1d while standing there he heard . grating noise at the rear of tLe platform of the store. Quietly slipping to the edge of the plat form Mir. Watkins discovered be- low him the form of man do~n on his knees attempting to open the cash register which he had removed from the store. Up 10 this time the burglar was unaware |of MT. Watkins presence and on b.ing commanded to throw up his hands sprang to his feet amt as he did SD Mir. Watkins fired. At the crack of the pistol the man gave few loud yells and fell to the ground. Thinking that he had killed the burglar MT. Wat kins turned around and passed through the store onto the street in search of an officer. In com pany with Night Marshal P. H. Miller he returned to the scene of the supposed tragedy but on reaching the spot where the man fell he was greatly surprised to find that the burglar had fled.
 Early this morning officers trailed the burglar by blood stains to the lower part of the railroad yards where it is sup posed that he boarded an out going south bound freight and made his escape.
 This is the third time that this store has been robbed this year, the burglar gaining en- trance last right through brok- en window at the rear. In ad- dition to the cash register, which was carried from the store, the burglar secured Winchester riae, which was found lying on the ground.

Considerable interest was caused
this afternoon among Ardmore pee

ally bright star by someone on the
street The star, which was directly
southeast OF the city, seemed to be
an electric light hanging from the
heavens and shone about as brilliant
ly as would an electric light in the
day time. Some there were who had
never before seen a star shining in
the day time, and to those the bright
planet was quite a novelty and an
object of interest. Others there were
who stated that there had been many
Of the kind seen today, In the bust
ness section Of the city the interest
was at the highest and the sidewalks
in some instances were blockaded by
crowds gazing intently at the little
light When the star was first dlscOy-

REPAIR THE ROADS.
Merchants and Farmers Should Join
Their Forces to Build Roads.


Their Forces to Build Roads.
J. w. Johnson Is a visitor 10 The
city from Milo. Mr. Johnson states
that his community is especially pros.
porous this year and that everything
is running smoothly except the roads
between here and Milo and in fact all
the roads leading out over the coun.
try. These Mr. Johnson says are In n
dcplorable condition and neeed the at
tcntion of some organized body, who
will keep them in order He suggested
that Ardmore was sleeping on her
rights. Ardmorc Is the largest town in
the Chickasaw nation, he said. and
cannot stand by and sec the ROADS,
which were used to dump into her
mills and stores the produce OF the
country, In the condition which they
to relieve this condition. Mr.. John
sen stated that when he was coming
from Milo he saw five wagons on the
way here stuck" and this not moro
than five miles from Ardmore. He
stated that the Caddo bridge is In
bad shape and in many other places
there were no bridges at all Mr.. Joun-
sons as we'll as other farmers and
land owners is Of the opinion that
Ardmore should improve these road
conditions. He states the farmers as
a whole are ready and anxious to as
sist in the work Of fixing the ROAD
and will do more than half the work
if given the material All they wau.
is the certainty that Ardmore people
will assist them in the matter of fix
ing the roads and they will do their
part.
II is well known that Ardmorc ha'
spent an enormous amount OF money
On the roads, and they would have
been in the hest condition for years
had not the summer rains which flood.
ed the country practically destroyed
the work that has been done. This
fact should not deter them in the
preparations for immediate recon
struction of the roads, and Ardmorc
citizens should raise the money and
fix the roads. Ardmore's bounty has
come from the country and will cen.
tinue to come from the country. It is
but right that she should pave the
way for this bounty to increase, In.
stead of decrease, and the only way
to dc lis is to fix the roads

JUDGE DICKERsoN BUSY.
Heard Nineteen Pleas of Guilty With.
in Thirty Minutes


In Judge Diekerson's court at Pauls
Valley yesterday morning thirteen
cases were disposed of in thirty min
utes. Seven of the thirteen were SEN
fenced to year and day. one to
three years, three to the reform school
and others were given lighter sen
tences.
Among those who entered pleas OF
guilty was a man from hrdmOre whom
Judge Pflener placed under a peace
bond as wen as an appearance bond.
The prisoner could not give the peace
bond and he entered Il plea of guilty
rather than remain in Jail and risk
having to serve a sentence also. This
is method Judge Piener has
adopted to induce whisky peddlers
to quit selling their wares in the
southern district.
