THE BIRTH DAY.
The American Federation of Labor
 Twenty eight Years Old.

Denver. Nov. 15.-The delegates to the convention of the American Federation of Labor made excursions to the noun tains today, this being the twenty eighth anniversary of the founding of the organization, which now has 5S6, S55 members, and of which Samuel Gompers has been president for twen- ty-siX years.

Okmulgee. okla, Nov. 15.-Eisht men including the sheriff of Okmulgee, were killed here this afternoon and a score or more injured in a battle between blacks and whites The governor has ordered the militia here. The trouble was precipitated by the attempt of the sheriff to arrest TWO negroes. in the attempt the sheriff was killed, and other whites then attempted to arrest the murderer. over two hundred shots were fired.
 The scenes this afternoon were the widest .ever beheld here. After two officers of the law had been killed, and their murderer. a negro, whom they attempted to arrest. been shot to death, the furious mob applied torch to the house in which he had been driven.
 The dead whose names are known at this hour are: w F.. Robinson, sher- if: Henry Klaber, a patrolman assist ing the sheriff, and Jim Decker. a ne gro.
 Decker and another negro were fight ing when the officers came upon them. The officers told the negroes they were under arrest.

THE GREAT BALLOON RACE
 GOT ONLY HALF STARTED
The American Alone Set Out on the TranscontinentaI Journey.

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov. 15.-The widely advertised start of a trans continental balloon race here today was somewhat of a failure. Only one balloon, the America with Capt F. A. Mueller. pilot. and J. K. Hutchineon. passenger. started. The America" got away at 3:15, rose to a height of about 1000 feet and passed slowly westward and disap peared in a fog bank. It was seen later three miles from the ocean and about 7:15 again it passed from the sight of the people on land.
 Every effort has been made to get word Of it tonight but without sue cess. Captain Wild, the pilot of the other racer. the United States" says he will make a start tomorrow at noon. An immense crowd gathered To see the start After the America reached a height of about 2,000 feet Captain Mueller was seen to be heav- ing bags of sand overheard reck- lessly, evidently in effort to get higher quickly. He had provisions aboard for fourteen days.

killed and wounded a number of the crowd. A bullet finally struck Decker, killing him instantly, and the torch was then applied to the building.
 Eight persons in all were killed in the fight here this afternon. Two ne groes named Chapman were killed be- fore Decker was killed and later three more who have not been identified.

OF THE N0TABLES TufmeD, Officials and Track
 DigRitaPies EVERYBODY Is SATISFIED
Horsemen Compliment the Track, the People and the Fair Management and Say They Hope to- Return Next Year.

The visiting horsemen and their stock nearly all left the city either Sunday morning or Sunday evening and all left in the best of spirits Not a complaint has been made by any of them as to their treatment and all say they hope to be back again next year. will be if their plans carry.
 Dick McMahon, owner of the fla nous pacing mare. Citation, left on yesterday mornings train for his home in Libertyville, III. He said the Arizona fair in many respects equals the large eastern state fairs and eXcels great many of them. More people attend the eastern fairs, for there are more people to attend them, and the number of exhibits is larger but the quality of them is no better and the management of them is no more nearly perfect He is more than pleased with the treatment he received and says he will surely be here for the next fair. In this connection, it is timely to make men ton of another little fact concerning Citation, which horse will remain a favorite with Arizona people, at least until some other animal beats her pacing record here of 2:0212, and that can not be easily done. The incident referred to is a race made by Citation in Dallas. Tex. two or three weeks ago when she was driven by a woman in 2:031s, the fastest heat ever driven by a woman. That sl,a the horse, and the reader may take his choice.
 It may also be stated truthfully that Mir McMahon, who is a grand circuit horseman of renown, said the Phoenix track is as fast as any track he is acquainted with. That fact lodged in MT. McMahOns mind will not hurt the reputation of the Ari- zona fair a bit.
 Messrs. Walker, who has been com ing here regularly for several years; Rutherford, Ward, Miller, Durfee, Bonnell. Barstow and in fact all the horsemen. left with only the best of feeling for Arizona and her big fair, andi it is hoped, all will return a year later.
 Judge John F. Newton of YOrkville, III. also left yesterday morning, hay ing finished his engagement here with the greatest satisfaction to all. Judge Newton is a banker at home, when he is not engaged in starting races on the grand circuit, and has reputation for personal integrity in both lines of activity that can not be impeached. He holds the respect of both the horsemen and the grand stand and sees that the rights of all are protected.
 Rube Shields. of course, also went" Whither, was not learned, nor was inquiry made after his promise had been given to come back again next year if he could. Rube did much to keep things moving and kept the elders in the grand stand smiling, while the younger element is convinced that Rube was pretty much the whole fair
 In a little conversation with So- noma Girl. she told a reporter for The Republican that she hoped to be back next season and trim that trot- ting record of 2:O6 down a little, and Carlokin insisted that he had already cut that job out for himself, so it is hoped there will be some

HIS CURIOSITY DISSATISFIED
Would Like to Know Why the Attempt at Assassina- ton Was Made--Ruef's Trial Will be Resumed To- day Without Prosecutor.

San Francisco. Nov. 15.-Francis J. Heney passed a comfortable night. and his physicians say he is well on the road to recovery. The bullet has been located, embedded in the left jaw an inch in front of the ear. The surgeons have decided not to extract it until Mir. Heney gains more strength. The swelling in his throat is going down.
 The wounded man sat on table to- day for an hour and made jocular re- marks while the surgeons were re- moving powder grains from his face. He showed great interest in the mass meeting held last night, and when told that Haas had taken his own life he remarked that it was too bad that he did that before giving his reason for shooting him.
 The suicide of Hass was the subject of much discussion today. and the po- lice are engaged in trying to ascertain how Hass was able to conceal his pis- tol
 The intention is to proceed with the interrupted trial of Abraham Ruef to- morrow; extra precautions have been taken to prevent a recurrence of viO- lent disorders. MT. Heney's place will be taken by Attorneys Matt I. Sulli- van and Hiram Johnson.
 Two mass meetings assembled here tonight to discuss the attack on Heney. Meetings were held in the churches and a number of clergymen spoke. The speakers all followed the same line. appealing to the public to see that the graft prosecution is carried ort

There were a number of other horses of lesser fame which were appreciated, and may be hoped for as future performers on this track
 There is no more appropriate place perhaps than right here to toss a little bunch of well earned bouquets to the home people, on whom the success of the fair depended. The commissioners, Messrs. J. c. Adams, B. A. Packard and H. c. Lockett, have well sustained the growing rep utation of the Arizona fair In this they have been given the heartiest and most effective cooperation of the secretary. R. A. Kirk, who has worked unceasingly and to good pur- pose ever since his appointment and who for the past two weeks has been going day and night. The list of those who have contributed to this success in the capacity of department managers and assistants, county com missioners, clerk, judges, etc. is too long for personal mention and the success of the fair in every way is too great for the permission of any invidiOus comparisons. One of the most strenuous departments has been that of speed. as on it's management depended more cash money than any other, both receipts and disbursements. Mir. Hildreth has given his time early and late. and Paul Kruger. the course clerk on whose records so much depended. has been a servant faithful unto-nOt death, but very late hours at night Everybody is entitled to congratulatiOn.
