A KILLING At
CENTRAL CITY
James d. Wood, Mine
Workers Leader,
KILLED IN A STREET DUEL
y
In Which About Twenty Shots
Z We're Fired-Three
Others Wounded.

Central City, KY, April 22.-Trouble
that has been long brewing in this cit
eliminated last night in a political bat
tie, and when the smoke cleared away
]. d. Wood, for many years president
of District 20 of the United Mine
Workers, was dead and three others
wounded.
The wounded are:
= John Wood, brother of ]. d. Wood,
miner, shot in bowels and arm; dan
gerous, but not necessarily fatal
John Magyar, ex-policeman, wound
ed in both legs.
viii johnson, miner, slightly wound
ed in leg
The shooting took place in front of
lie depot at near 10 o'clock Walter
Hardwick, an ex-policeman, is under
arrest
The trouble started in January, when
the newly elected Council undertook
to revolutionize the city government.
Two members were threatened with
death If they did not bend 10 the will
of the majority, and one Of them, John
Solder, died from the effects of the
threatening letters 'sent him signed
rEighteen Honest Men" A truce was
later agreed upon and new police Of
ficers installed. j. d. Wood was
member of the City Council. A num-
Der Of indictments are pending against
him and were to be tried to-day in
GreenvilIe. Much excitement prevails
and some threats, but no further
trouble is anticipated.
Nearly twenty shots were fired by
tire two Woods and James Jenkins,
lformer Chief of Police, and Walter
Hardwick and Mgan, both formerly
members of the police force. The
five men met con the platform and
are said to have quarreled violently
for some minutes before the shooting
began. Who first drew weapon is
not known, but after the first shot,
nearly every man in the party emp
tled MS revolver.
Friction has existed for some time
between the Out going and the incom-
ing city administrations. A hot polit-
ical campaign last fall end,d with the
election of The faction Of which James
j.. Wood was a member and he was
one of the candidates for the Coun-
Gil. On April the Council discharg-
ed all of the members of the police
force and employed Others, among
them being James ID. Wood. The
shooting last night is thought TO be
a direct result of this charge.
James D. Wood was for many years
the head OF the union miners organi-
cation of Kentucky. and also took a.
prominent part in the general union
labor movement throughout the Stale.
he was forceful, energetic leader
and displayed much ability in en-
larging the membership of the UNION
and in obtaining favorable contracts
from the mine owners. Several years
ago he was defeated for elections as the
president of District 90 and since then
had lived quietly ut his home in this
city. He was married and leaves sew
>eral children.

The guarantee law gives a security 70 a
bank and implants degree Of confidence

Irresistible from business standpoint.
The average depositor is not going TO take
risks on his funds on deposit when he can
as readily avoid the same. He is going
to leave his money with the institution

institution which operates under the new
law is an item Of no mean consideration.

THE GUARANTY LAW.

A number of Oklahoma banks, which
have heretofore been doing business under
national charters, are surendering the
same and taking out state charters They
are doing this in order to secure the ad-
vantages of the law adopted by the late
legislature. which provides for bank de-
positors guaranty fund.
It is frequently no easy matter to learn
old dogs new tricks, 1t is likewise some
times difficult to convince hard-headed
national bankers that the existing bank
ing system can be improved upon. They
regard it as the ne plus ultra, because they
have always made good money under its
operations.
But time is wonderful educator Last
winter, when the legislature was consider
ing the guarantee deposit act, most of the
national bankers Of the state---not all Of
them--opposed it bitterly and predicted
all sorts Of disastrous consequences TO
follow its adoption. They charged that it
would be sure to be followed with an era
Of recklessness and dishonesty in banking
circles such as the country had never
seen.
The new law has been in operation but
a trifie over six months. and it is doubtless
too early to definitely determine whether
it viii be able to stand the test Of time.
yet so far, it has worked highly satisfac-
torily and is growing in popularity every
day. This is attested by the fact that
many Of the national banks Of the state
are sunendering their national charters in |
order to take cut state charters and avail

Many celebrities have been super
stitious to an extreme degree. Cae-
sar never mounted his chariot with
out first uttering a magic formula as
a preventive against disaster. Lord
Bacon and Sir Thomas Browne, be-
lieved in witchcraft, Richelieu con-
suited an astrologer, Bismarck was su.
perstitious about Friday and about

are proverbially superstitious. Ra-

Now again we rise to ask what does
the public care whether democrats or re-
publicans own the plant Of the Oklahoma
City Times? If II ever tells the truth the
public win accept it, no matter what the

Ambassador Bryce Is delivering a

that the paper would be Of use to him

was the disgust of the writer 10 find
that the article was nothing more or
