SLAIN FROM AMBUSH,
A. A. Bobbit Assassinated In
Cowardly Manner.

Ada. Okla. March 2-Standing be
hind one of a clump Of trees an I'M
known person shot TO death A. A. Bob
bit, prominent stockman and former
United States deputy marshal. The
diabolical deed was done about eight
miles south of Ada. and within half
a mile of Mr.. Bobbits home, toward
which he was travelling.
He was shot twice with buckshOt
from a shotgun. Mr. Bobbit died with
in two hours. He said he did not
know his assassin, but thinks he was
hired to kill him by is old enemies,
Bobbit lived to describe the man ac-
they will get him.
Mr. Bobbit did some travelling and
other business Saturday. He left in
a wagon about 5 O'Clock for his home.
The shooting occurred in a lonely
spot in the road along which Bobbit
had to pass on his way home. Anoth,
er man driving in wagon only few
of the gun and a man approach Bob
bits wagon after he fell out
The murderer was tracked through
several fences toward Ada, where he
is thought to have caught a train
The best clew is a pair of new wire
cutters left at one place where he cut
his way through a wire fence
Mr.. Bobbit was an old United States
deputy marshal, and while serving in
that capacity made many enemies
among outlaws who infested this cOun-
try before statehood. 1t is thought
the killing was planned by some old
enemies to even scores
1t is rumored that BObbit had pro
vision in his Will leaving ST., oGo to the
person arresting and convicting his
assassin in case he met death in the
way he did He had many friends, and

GOVERNOR J. Y. SANDERS.

1t is reported from New Orleans un-
der the headline of a political sensation
the Constitution of the State is to be
amended SO as to make it possible for
Governor Sanders to become his Sue
cessor when his present term shall have
expired.
1t is. safe to say that the Democrats
who vote and carry the elections will
accept this announcement with COM
posture, expressing perhaps some de-
gree of surprise over this indication on
the part of some of the New Orleans
politicians to side-tracking Mayor
Behrman and clipping him from his am
bition to become the Governor of Louis
lana.
1t would be idle to waste time and
space in the serious consideration OF
this leaking out" of the secret at a
dining in New Orleans last Saturday.
As all things are possible at a dining,
when the brain may be overcharged with
fiery eloquence, it is not doubted that
other secrets were revealed besides this
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, but fortunately the world was not
shocked nor checked in its revolving on
its axis.
As Governor Sanders is politician
and an opportunist, he should be given
credit for having the possession of a
clearer forethought than is accorded to
him in this political sensation He
will, if he has not already realized, the
fact that the eople having pronounced
against second term emphatically and
decidedly, would resent this forcing the
revival of an issue which has been set
tied.
It is conceded that Governor Sanders
is ambitious and he would delight to go
to the Senate, or he may become can
didate for Congress from Broussards
district, but this he may reach without
an amendment to the Constitution of the
State, which would be defeated.

aOID FASHIONED VIRTUES OF
CORRECT SPELLING."

It is encouraging to note, as an
nounced in this issue of the Caucasian,
that it is designed by the scholastic au-
thorities of the State ito revive interest
in the old fashioned virtues of correct
spelling, clear thinking and careful COM
position"
To say the least, this proposed adj
vance over present methods, from the
ologies, the superficial and the indefinite
for the sensible and the practical better
ment of the pupils should be hailed with
rejoicings.
II Is astonishing to consider how many
individuals of both sexes, who have at
tended school for years and are grad
yates, who are deficient in correct SPELL
ing, whose writing is scarcely legible,
whose grammar is equally faulty and
who are lacking in the essentials of
scholarship.
When more time is given to thorough
ness in the practical and less time is
wasted in the superficial, the boys and
