KNIFE WOUND
MAY PROVE
FATAL
Stab Proves More Serious
Than at First Thought
Parties Held

Charles Smith, negro, is In a
critical condition, with a deep wound
over his heart, made with knife
used by Hattie Shields last night.
The Shields woman and James Fish
er were walking on South Second
street last night about IL o'clock,
when Smith came along and urged her
to leave Fisher and go with him.
According to the story told in police
court this morning, Smith seized the
woman to pull her away, when Fisher
interfered and then she drew knife
and planted it deep in Smiths breast.
The wound didn't appear serious at
the time and Smith was able to walk
to the police station with the other
two. He had been arrested this morn
'pe for carrying a weapon for which
Re was fined $25. The woman plead
guilty to doing the cutting and she and
her partner were fined $40 and costs
each
Soon after Smith was taken back tc
the city Jail, dangerous symptoms be-
gan to develop and later he was taken
to his home. On examining the
wound, the physician found it was
at least three inches deep and he held
out little hope for recovery. County
Attorney Barefoot took a statement
from the wounded man in regard tc
the affair and Fisher and the woman
are being held for further develop
ments

IN
CITIES NEXT
SPRING
Decision Settles a MOOted
QueStiOn-Old City EIeC-
tiOn Law In Force

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 1.-THE opin-
ion handed down by the supreme
court in the Guthrie convention hall
case decides definitely that all of the
cities os the state will continue to
hold city elections in the spring, as
heretofore, and not in connection with
the general election, even If the new
general election laws do include "mu-
nicipal" officers among those to be
elected in November The holding
Of the court Is that the old law gov
erning city elections was not repealed
or changed by the new law, except
as to the matter Of registration. In
the opinion the court says:
we do not think that the proyi-
sions Of article /, chapter 10, govern
ing annual and special elections in
cities Of the first class. were repealed
by the act Of May 20, 1908. The re
pealing clause in that act is that all
laws governing general elections in
the state are repealed. The provi
sions Of article i, section 70, do not
apply to general elections in the state.
and apply only 10 annual and special
elections held in cities Of the first
class, and we have been unable to find
anything in said act Of the legislature
that in our opinion effects a repeal by
Implication OF said chapter
The question was raised just before
the primary, when a large number OF
lawyers insisted that nominations
must also be made for city offices
and petitions for such offices we're
filed with county election boards in
number Of cities. The attorney
| general refused to give formal opin.
I ion on the question. but the state
election board decided to go ahead and
ignore the city election question. It's
position is now approved by the su
preme courts decision

LIGHTNING CAUSES FATAL
POWDER EXPLOSION
In the McAlester Coal .Field--One Person
Killed and Eleven Injured--Some
Seriously

McAlester, Okla, Sept. 17.-Light.
ming at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
struck a powder house used jointly
by the Samples Mining company and
the New State Iron and Supply com
pany, two miles north Of McAlester,
and the terrific explosion which fol.
lowed killed one person, seriously in
iured ten others, practically destroyed
twelve residences and more Of less
seriously wrecked seventeen cars on
a Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railway
company siding.
The magazine Of the powder house
contained two carloads of powder and
two carloads Of dynamite that had
been stored for use in Samples mines
No. l and No. and by the New State
company, and was situated about half
way between the mines.
Arthur Richards, % years Of age,
, was killed. He was sitting in his
room, 400 yards from the scene, writ
ing letter. He was struck by rock
and his head severed completely from
his body.
In another house family Of seven

house was demolished and all the fam
lily escaped injury. A family Of Ital-
ians escaped uninjured from another
house that was torn to pieces. Ten
other houses were wrecked and their
occupants more or less injured by fly
ing timbers and splinters.
/ On ths spot where the powder house
stood a plug Of earth was taken out
leaving hole rs feet deep and 100
feet long. Nine freight cars that were
standing on a siding near by were
literally torn to pieces. The miners
homes, built in string near the pow.
der house, were swept away or de.
molished on their foundations,
The shock of the explosion was felt
within radius of several miles. Large
plate glass windows were broken out
in McAlester business houses and
hundreds of people ran into the streets
under the belief that an earthquake
had occurred. Dead cattle and horses
are scattered over the country for a
mile from the scene Of the explosion.
The injured were brought to Nc
