In the morning. game at Enid,
both teams made glaring errors;
out New Grenada heavy tatters
out batted Enid, and won. Their
pitcher was in good form, having
10 strike outs. Ends twlster
pitched good ball, but he lacked
support at critical stages. In the

NEGRO MURDERED
OLD NEGRO BEATEN TO DEATH
 WITH AXE.
His Body, Several Days After Death, is Found fn the ~Dirty Dozen."
 Dan chappcE Met
 Tragic Death. N

Lying dead in his bed in a poal of blood, above his right eye a cruel wound supposed to have been inflicted by an axe. which. stained with blood. lay nearby. Dan Chappeil. an old ne- gro. was found early yesterday morn ing at his home, 72o South Decatur Street. There is little doubt that Chap pell was murdered and appearances i'm dlcate that the crime was committed several days ago.
 Chappell lived in a community des- ignated by the police, because of It's evil reputation. the Dirty Dozen" The negroes of that vicinity have missed Chappell since Saturday morning. but nothing was thought of his absence, as 1t seems that the negro was in the habit of remaining Away for several days at time. In the house with h.m. in the adjoining room. lived a negress, apparently lf-witted, and she stated that she knew nothing of the circumstances of his death; In fact. did not knowS that he was dead until yesterday morning. when Maria Me- Kenzie. negress of the neighborhood. made the discovery and informed her of 1t.
 Maria lives in a house just opposite that of Chappell and passing by his house early yesterday morning, she noticed that the door was open and entered the room to find out the cause. Upon entering the room, she found the body in an advanced stage of decom- position. The news was quickly spread throughout the neighb orhood, and the police were informed of the finding of the body
 ohicers Murren and Taylor went out to the scene and found the body as de- scribed. lying in the bed in the midst of pool of blood. while nearby lay a blood stained axe which, it Is supposed welded by a murderous hand, occa stoned the negro's death. An old quilt had been carelessly spread over the dead body.
 Nothing was disturbed by the ofi- cers until Coroner Tice, who had been summoned, arrived upon the scene. The quilt covering was then removed, and the body of the old negro, half dressed was disclosed to view. The coroner took possession of the axe, which will be produced as evidence in the event of developments that throw any light upon the happening.
 The unusual feature of the occurrence is that dead body could have remain ed so long undiscovered in such thickly- settled community as the Dirty Dozen"
 The theory .s advanced that the crime may have been committed in some other part of town, and the remains trans' ferred to the locality where found yes terday. but as no blood was discovered upon the floor of the room in which theF body lay but only upon the bed this theory is hardly tenAble, since the body would not. several days after the murder, bleed to any extent. and diff hculty would thus be encountered IT explaining the existence of the pool of blood in which the negro lay. The police are Investigating the matter. and 1t is expected that in the near future the mystery of the old negro's death will be disclosed.

Kentucky Central Repubiican Commif-
 tee Settles District Controversy.
 Louisville. Ky, April so.-The Re- publican State Central Committee this afternoon decided the First District controversy in favor of the Taft men. upholding them at every point.
 The committee held that former United States Senator DeBoe's rulings in the Graves County case were con- trary to party law. and that the con- vention which was hefd by the dele gates holding the credentials of the majority was the regular convention. The trouble grows out of the ruling of Mir. DeBoe, Fairbanks man. who. while presiding at the First District Convention. is alleged to have disre- garded the credentials of the regular delegation from Graves County. and seated the bolting Fairbanks delega- tion.
 The question of delegates to the Na- tional Convention was not touched upon, as that must be decided by the National Committee.
