DRINKS KILL NEGRO
Sunday at Scandal, Mining Town Near
Madrid, Was Day of Much Card
Playing, BOOKING and Fighting.
Special ia Times-Republ,can

Woodward. Feb. 11.-Scandia. a
mining town west of Madrid and east
of Woodward in Dallas county, was
the scene of many DRINKS last Sum
with a pump gun. No. IL guage, and
died three hours after. Sunday being
one day after pay day. and this day a
day of rest at the mine. they filled up
on booze and one has to dodge around
as tho he was right in the center of
a battle field, as you can't tell what
time a stray bullet will bring you
down. Scandal is a large mining camp
without any peace officers and without
a minister located here. and it takes
on the same coat that the western
states did thirty years ago. AS a rule
everyone is his own police and the
biggest are cocks of the walk.
Last Friday or Saturday Scandal
was filled with whisky and beer. This
came from Des Moines, as common.
The negro part Of Scandia seemed to
get more than their share of the fire
water" One negro by the name of
James Wright somehow got possession
OF a Nc. u pump gun, and a row
started. Wright wanted to kill. The
gun was cooked and %recocked, out the
two men Wright wanted to shoot dodg-
ed out Of his way. Finally in his
drunken move he ran across one of
the men. and determined to shoot him
Lewis Williams, a negro, who was
standing by to see what was going on
tried to stop Wright from shooting, as
Wright a a u that he did not un-
derstand. 1t was discharged, hitting
Williams just below the groin Of the
right limb. The full charge of shot
struck him square on the limb. After
the shooting Wright went into. the
house near by, drank two more Whis-
kies and then babe his wife and -four
small children goodbye. He left for
parts unknown, but finally ended up in
the Madrid Jail. The officers notified
Dallas county who got Wright.
Lewis Williams, colored, vas a sim
gle man, and had not beer at Scandal
long. coming from Marquisville. Ia.
James Wright came to Scandal in
November, from Buxton, Iowa.
Card playing and drinking made up
the days business at Scandal Sunday
last, and fighting was the order Of the
day. those taking no part having to
dodge.

period of depression of times on &C
count of the financial stringencN.
Now. as to the statement attributed
to MI. Weld that he told Mr.. Robb that
this particular tract of land could not
be sold for $50 ar. acre! The truth
about this is that Mr.. Robb had his
talk With Mr.. Weld about the LIST of
November, 1907, when the financial
crash had conc on October IS, 1907.
The question put to Mr.. Weld was, I'm
that conversation, did you not say that
this particular piece or tract of Land
could not be disposed of at this time?'
Answer: 81 think ] did. Owing to the
financial stringencN | old him that n
great a farms il they were put on
the market at a forced sale at that
time would not brirg half of their ac-
tual value"
The foregoing statements are what
was disclosed by the evidence in the
trial of the case ard in Justice to the
parties interested We believe YOU will
be disposed to give the same to the
public that the true situation may be
known.

After a separation of twenty-five

Word has been received here that
Louis Kane, formerly of this place but
now a resident Of Minot, N. D., had
fallen fromm a motor bicycle and frac-
tured his knee Joint. After a short
time blood poisoning set in and made
it necessary to amputate the member
just below the thigh. His condition is

What Cheer.
The What Cheer Patriot, the pion-
eer newspaper of this city, has been
purchased by Claude Gates of Abba,
who will assume possession soon. The
present proprietor, Irwin Ogden, will
remove to New Mexico, where he has
secured a fine business opening. The
Patriot has always been a potent force
in local politics, and the public is as
sured of a continuance of it's tradi-
tional influence. The paper will remain
republican in politics.

General Manager Blake of the Fort

he declared that the day has gone by

rights of way and expend large sums
for the privileges of building lines
The farmers and business men must
now go to the railroads instead. In

Blake urged ths farmers end business

who opposed him are just as bitter
