 The bookmakers got a jar in the ed heavily and left the favorite, lost to Baron Defect. He won the next three heats and first money, and the bookies cleaned up. Th* second heat was won in a nose to nose finish with c. H. E.

CRIME IS EPIDEMIC.
Twelve Indian Territory Murders Since
 July Fourth, and End Not Yet.

Muskogee, l, T., July h. when crime breaks forth iu a sec ton ot Indian Territory it SC, ms 10 become epidemic. Deputy mar. shals have long recog nized this. It has been true in the western iu. dlcial district. Since the fourth ot July there have been twelve murders and persons mortally wounded reported to the office of Marshal Bennett at this place. And it seems the end is not yet. Said an old deputy today, "let their fighting blood get riled once and you cannot stop them"
 Notwithstanding the number of murders there have not been so many arrests made as might be expected. This is a system the deputy marshals have. When there IS murder, unless the mur. derer IS caught right on the spot 1t IS usually some time before he IS captured. Immediately after killing scrape the murderer has the killing lever on and he will kill deputy marshal on sight. He is wary and his friends protect him. After things have cooled down for a week or ten days, an experienced deputy marshal can usually locate his man by friends Tn the neighborhood and place him under arrest without trouble. Besides that it Is lots easier to locate a criminal when he knows he is not being pursued. In many instances when there is murder committed and deputy marshals are sent for they do not go. This is pretty sure indication that the man wanted will not leave the country and the first time the deputy gets into that neighbor- hood he can get his man without trouble and without much danger. Deputy marshals know better than to try 10 arrest man when he has the killing fever on, uu- less he can get the drop on him.

NEW STYLE OF pRoJEcTiLE.
Object Has Been to Make One That
 Win Not Explode Too Soon.

Projectiles charged with high ex- the armor plate of a ship sometimes do comparatively little damage. The search has been for a device to keep the charged shell from bursting until it has passed through the ships side and has reached point where 1t will 70 great damage, says a writer in the Technical World Magazine. Such an invention is claimed by Hudson Max i'm, the foremost inventor of high ex. plosives. And in speaking of 1t he says: The offense is bound to win over the defense. We find it so in all history, not only of mechanical auto matics, but in inanimate creations. The active. aggressive animal always has developed ways and means to penetrate the interior of all armored animals. So 1t Is in warfare. The projectiles of the aggressor smash through the armor plate of the de fender.
 At Indian Head recent tests have been made with the new invention, and it is claimed that if 13-inch pro- jectie from one of the big guns of the battleship Maine, charged with high explosives and equipped with the l2- inch side armor of an enemy's ship. 1t would kill every man in the com partment where 1t exploded. The ef- feet of the explosion behind the armor would be to rip up the cofferdam back ing and hurl inward fragments of that as well as pieces of the projectile it. self in every direction, causing great destruction in that part of the ship. It would also smash from the side of the ship the entire piece of armor plate which it struck. and if the point was near the water it would make an open ing very dangerous indeed.

TWO NEGROES ARE
 HANGED AT MARION
One Was Convicted of Murder and the Other of Criminal Assault Murderer Confessed on the
 Scaffold.

Marion, July 11.-In an euclos- ure built in the court house yard here Will Kitchens, convicted Of murder, and Jesse McCollum, convicted of criminal assault. were hanged yesterday. The double hanging of the negroes was the only legal execution that has taken place here since Will Dia- mond, wife murderer, was hanged on the same scaffold three years ago.
 The crime for which Kitchens forfeited his life was committed on the 14th of last September. Kitchens assassinated and robbed J. s. Foster at Edmonson and made his escape to Memphis, where he was captured and turn ed over to Sheriff Lewis by Pa trolman Mike Meskel. At the time of his capture Kitchens con fessed to the robbery and admit ted he was present at the time Foster was murdered. He impli- cated two other negroes that have never been captured. On the scaffold yesterday Kitchens ad- mitted that he himself fired the fatal shot. In all the other state ments made he admitted being present at the time of the murder, but denied that he had anything to do with the assassination.
 Kitchens was tried and convict ed at tue April term of the Crit tenden County Circuit Court. While court was in session Jesse McCollum was arrested and charged with criminal assault on Martha Stone, negress 75 years of age He was immediately indicted, tried and found guilty and sentence was pronounced be- fore court adjourned for he term.
 McCollum, on the sea fold, was  not talkative. He refused to dis cuss his crime, saying the people knew why he was being hanged.

GOVERNORS FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Neighbor Tells of Gallant Struggle That Is Being Made for Life and Health.

Little Rock, July, l1.-Judge Robert w. McFarlane, member of the state capitol com rission, and resident of Greenwood, the home of Governor Little, in dis cussing the condition of the governor said:
 Sometimes Governor Little is a great deal stronger than at others. He takes nourishment well, and improves, and walks around to a considerable extent. He takes much interest in the affairs of home and discusses with visitors matters of general interest.
 "Then his nervous system, which was impaired by the severe campaign through which he went to become governor, will give away, and for several days he will be quite low. His phy- sicians are kept constantly ad- yised of his condition, aud when these occur, aid to normal con ditiou. By good nursing he IS again brought back to a point where his friends believe he will entirely recover, and will return to Little Rock 10 resume his duties as chief executive.
 "I am satisfied that the coudi- tion of the governor is a great deal better than when he returned from Texas. But l would not be surprised to learn that one ot his sinking spells had taken him off, at any time. He is growing gradually stronger, all the time, and if his constitution can with. stand these repeated relapses, he may recover sufficiently to re- sume his duties. But he is weak, physically and will need careful nursing and close watching. Ht may live for years, and he may not live till the end of the week.
