R. R. BRODNAX
 BACK TO JAIL Slayer of w. E. Haynes
 Is Held. THE PRELIMINARY HEARING Witnesses Tell of the Tragedy at
 Hayneville. State Proves that Dead sheriff Had Been Threatened by Prominent
 Merchant Who Killed
THE PRELIMINARY HEARING

Eayneville, Sept. 10.-(Special)- E. R. Brodnax, a merchant of this place. who shot and killed w. E. Haynes, Sheriff of Lowndes County, last Saturday. was given a prelimin- ary hearing before Judge M. McGrath in the court house today, and remand ed to jail without bail.
 Both sides were represented by some of the strongest legal talent in the State. Several witnesses were exam ined and all of them testified substan- tially to the following facts. The de- fendant, Broadnax. and his brother, Crowell Brodnax, were about to have a difficulty and MT. Haynes was sent for in order to stop the trouble. Brod- max, upon seeing MT. Haynes. remark ed. By -. am going to kill some body today. Mir. Haynes replied, Put up your pistol. Bob; don't do that" at the same time laying his right hand upon the left shoulder of Brodnax.
 Brodnax knocked his hand from off his shoulder, stepped back one step and fired twice at MT. Haynes, strik- ang him in the chest from which wounds MT. Haynes died within three or four hours.
 Mir. Haynes was unarmed. Brodnax tried to shoot him again, but was pre- vented from doing so by Charlie Nor ris and A. H. Seidal. they having, in connection with MT. Haynes, grappled with Brodnax and succeeded in dis erming him. MT. Seidal then assisted Mir. Haynes to seat, whereupon Brodnax struck Mir. Morris with his fist, who. in turn, knocked Brodnax down and choked him into submission until the arrival of a deputy sheriff. who placed him under arrest and took him to jail.
 The State offered further evidence tending to show unkind feelings upon the part of the defendant, towards the deceased. Men of high character tes- kified in this connection to statement made by the defendant to the deceased about four weeks ago, in which he said to MT. Haynes. "I want to see you about a certain matter, but before do see you I will fix myself" Af- ter which Brodnax left and went inn mediately to his store. returning in a very short time with a pistol in his hand. Trouble was averted by the in- terference of bystanders. The defend- ant offered no evidence.
 Col. c. R. Bricken, Solicitor of the Second Judicial Circuit. was leading counsel for the prosecution With him were associated Hon. Gaston Gunter of Montgomery and State Senator Evans Hinson and Joseph R. Bell of Hayneville.
 In a strong. Sore eeful and convincing
 Aech, one of the strongest ever de- 1WBSEd in the court house in Hayne- vtlle& Colonel Bricken presented the State contention, insisting eloquentiy and ea&nestly that the defendant was not entitled to bail.

STATE Will
co SOME
Many New Industries
Coming to New
State

Oklahoma City Nov. l9.--That Ok
lahoma is destined in the next two
years to witness its greatest era OF
prosperity is the opinion of shrewd
business men. who have watched the
trend OF events in the past, and believe
themselves fully capable Of Judging the
future 1t Is frequently predicted
nowadays that Oklahoma is going to
startle the whole country, and per
haps the entire world, as CONNER
cial proposition. Although only year
old, reckoned as a state, the new com
monwealth is preparing to shake off
the shackles of politicians, and forge
to the front. Not only is this true
OF the cities of the state but of the
rural districts as well. Reports re-
Iceived here through the Federation of
Commercial Clubs, are to the effect
that business men everywhere are pre-
pairing for unprecedented holiday bus
mess, to be followed by a speedy and
healthy growth Of trade. The cities
are doing their part in the general
scheme for the upbuiIding Of the state
This does not apply to any one city
but to all Of them. Reports from the
north, east south and west, are the
same, commercial activity and indus
trial progress. Now that politics is
going to quit the stage for a time
at least, the business men, those who
really build the ship of state, are COM
ing forth from their hiding places.
They are getting busy" For the past
two years they have been fearful that
some overt act on the part Of politi-
clans would put them off the map.
But now it is different
Perhaps one Of the healthiest signs
of returning prosperity is the revival
Of railroad projects. Activity has been
in evidence for some time in the south
western part of Oklahoma, especially
in the Big Pasture section, but this
activity has been accentuated by the
retirement from the stage of politics.
People are becoming more confident
Of wise legislation at the hands of
the next legislature, and there is no
reason why they should be otherwise.
AT Lawton, arrangements are rapidly
going forward for the completion of
the Lawton, Wichita Falls and North
western railroad, from Randlett north
In the northeastern part of the state,
are going forward for
at least one new railroad in the oil
belt, while to the south and north
come similar reports. In Oklahoma
City business men are working on the
Plan for railroad to the Northwest
into Woods, Alfalfa, Beaver, Wood
ward and Texas counties, and 1t is
expected that before long definite
will be made of the
organization of the company.

Taft Says Method Proposed by Kan

TAFT the Republican presidential can

against the Democratic national plat

Middle Bass Island, Sept, Al agree

which they are, In effect, to guarantee
the racklessness and dishonesty OF

Connecticut, Mr.. Hill has shown that
III the course OF four years the banks
and deposits of Connecticut would pay
out $500, 900 and receive nothing back
and that 100000 would go to help the
depositors in Wall street banks, which
through the manipulation of stock
gamblers, would use all the deposits
for the purpose of promoting wild spec
uation.
II do not have the statistics but
have no doubt the same thing. in per-
