Two Women Claim Ono Man.

Possessed of winsome ways that
have won for them two feminine
hearts, Leslie o. Shores, a barber in
the Kimball House barber shop,
claimed by two different women as
their husband, has repudiated both
claims, declaring that both women
are sadly mistaken.
Al a result of the dual cle;::; on
the barber's affection, the trial Mon.
day morning landed before Justice
of the Ptsce Landrum on State war
rants. The legal ball was started to
rolling By Kate NJ. Shores, an at.
tractive young woman, who swore
out warrants against Shores and
another young woman, May Hender-
son, on the ground that the latter
had supplanted her in the heart of
her chubby" ~
The Shores woman appeared to be
greatly wrought up over the matter
and she finally found herself in the
tolls on warrant sworn out to re-
quire her to keep the peace.
The cases were set for trial Mon
day morning before Judge Landrum,
but the hearing fati,d to materialize.
When the time for the trial arrived,
it developed that reconciliation had
been effected all around aud ':hc
three warrants were withdrawn on
payment of the costs. The Shores
woman claims that Shores is her
husband, while the Henderson wo-
man also asserts he had been married
to her. Shores refuses 70 aoknewl-
edge either as his wife.--Atlanta

Seven People Missing In Flood.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May "a
cloudburst over Capitol Hill, sub.
urb of this city, just south of the
Canadian river, Sunday night flooded
that place. Seven persons are miss
ing and are believed to have been
drowned. Many persons oamped on
the lowlands near the river were
caught unawares, and had but little
time to make their escape.
The river is bankful, and it will
be some time before it can be deter
mined if any lives were lost. There
was another heavy rainfall Monday,
which caused the river to rise higher,
endangering property in the low
lands.
Three thousand people live in
Capitol Hill, which lies south of
North Canadian river, opposite Okla.
homa City. The hill is drained into
a small stream called Lightning
creek, which enters the river just
below Oklahoma City. The water
came down the creek and covered
the lowlands in such volume as to
force out people living in tents,
shanties and small houses on the low
ground. Oklahoma city itself was
not endangered.
An area covering several square
miles had been flooded, causing much
damage to railroad and farm prop
erty. Railway traffic is paralyzed.
One mile of the Santa Fe tracks out
of Oklahoma City has been washed
out. The Canadian river is rising
rapidly and people in the lowlands
are moving out.
A number of houses were carried
down Lightning creek and many
narrow escapes are reported. Early
reports of loss of life have not been
verified.

Saloons Kept by Fort Worth.

In local option election in Tar
rant county, Texas, on April 9th,
of which Fort Worth is the county
seat, the antis defeated the prohibi-
tionists by vote of 6,207 to 3,214.
The vote in. the city was 1854 antis
to 798 prohibition.
The prohibitionists were asked by
the citizens to give the new saloon
bill trial before making fight, but
they thought they saw an opportu-
nifty to win, and, led by several min
listers, refused all overtures, forcing
the fight, which resulted in their
overwhelming defeat.
The assassination of County At
torney Mclean opened the fight.
The feature of the campaign was the
determined stand Judge Mclean,
father of the murdered officer, took
against prohibition.
The election was orderly and quiet.
