AGENT At BAXTER
SHOT BY ROBBERS
Posse Pursues With BIoodhounds--
Injured Man Will Die From
Two Wounds.

Baxter Springs, Kans., Mar. 49,
Three masked men with drawn revoI.
vers held up and probably fatally
wounded Portland High, night agent
OF the Frisco depot here, at 1915
o'clock this morning. They rifie6 the
cash drawer securing $S5. Three
men in the station at the time were
commanded to hold up their hands
and turn their backs to the despera-
does. Three shots were fired at High
two lodging in his abdomen. Stations
along the line were notified of the
hold-up and efforts were made 20
track the men with bloodhounds from
Aurora, Mo. The safe, containing a
large amount of money, was left in
tact.
Robert and Smith Nelson, brothers
| OF Princeton, KY, and Logan Lawery.
also of Princeton, were in the depot
at the time, waiting for a train to
Wichita. Ihe robbers covered them
with guns and commanded the three
to turn their faces to the wall while
one fired three shots at High before
the latter had an opportunity to draw
his revolver.
The men are thought to be tramps,
many of whom are continually loiter-
ing around the Frisco station. They
were of medium stature and were
dressed in overalls. Blue handker-
chiefs served as masks. 1t is thought
the three Princeton men can identity
the robbers, whom they saw near the
depot shortly before they shot High.
The shots were heard by Elias Ken
nedy, proprietor Of a restaurant with
in 100 feet of the station, and c. r.
Heeser, a third telegraph operator at
the station They rushed into the
waiting room in time to see the three
robbers run in an easterly direction
on the railway tracks.
High, at an early hour this morning,
was in precarious condition, It is
thought he cannot live. The bullets
penetrated the stomach, one lodging
near the base of the backbone.

Drouth in okmuIqee.

Henryetta, Okla, Mar. 19.-On ac-
count of the drouth, stock water is at
premium, and farmers are seriously
handicapped in their spring planting
Although the ground is of a character
that it can be plowed regardless of the
dry weather, yet there is not enough
moisture to sprout the seed. There
has been no rain here for the past
four months and potatoes are rotting
on the farmers hands because they
think it is useless to plant until there
is rain.

BILL DEFEATED
Bill Redistricting Judicial Districts Is
kiIled-WilI Probably Quit at
Noon Today.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 19.-In final
test of strength the republican minor
ity in the house Friday ended a
strenuous protest against proposed
three-minute limit on speeches with
near fight, in which Representatives
Helm of Creek, Acton of Logan and
Jones and Sherman of Majors openly
defied Speaker pro TEN Ben Harrison,
and the sergeants at arms, and for a
time personal encounters seemed i'm
minent.
The squabble arose when Durant of
Bryan tried to push through mo-
ton to limit debate to three minutes.
Republicans construed this to mean
that the senate grandfather clause"
proposed amendment would be con-
sidered, and attempted to filibuster.
e. M. Clarke of Pawnee held the floor
for fifty minutes, but was finally TAX
en- from it by point of order. The
three minute motion carried SO to 27.
Late in the day the grandfather
clause amendment came over from
the senate and was adopted by par
ty vote, three democrats, Earle
Hughes and Turner voting NO" Bills
were finally passed by the house ap-
propriating 100000 to fight the 2-cent
rate cases; appropriating $4,000 for
the Weatherford, Durant and Clare
more schools; appropriating $4,000
for the Ada normal; appropriating
$39,35O for the Chickasha Girls
school; Legislative appropriation $1S,-
O9S; $1O,4OO appropriation to purchase
additional land for Pryor Creek home;
appropriating $4,000 to reimburse the
governor for money advanced the at
torney general to fight rate cases.
House also defeated the Russell bill
redistricting the state in judicial dis
tricts, and adopting the emergency to
the school land office appropriation.
The senate presented President Pro
TEN Clint Graham of Marietta with a
gold watch and fob. Adjournment
will probably occur Saturday at noon.

pend on that"
Upon Mr.. Clark has fallen the great
burden of the battle for the last two
days from the democratic side and he
showed the effects of the long strain.
When the motion to adjourn was put
and carried, he arose slowly from his
seat on the democratic side and made
his way wearily out of the chamber.
Both sides admitted last night after
adjournment that no tangible basis of
compromise had been suggested. They
said that only the vague generalities
had been discussed in the conference
today, and nothing was broached by
either side and gave any promise Of
being a ground for getting together.
1t was said today that the attitude of
Speaker Cannon himself is the great
est stumbling block in the way of a
compromise. The speaker declines to
be eliminated from the rules COM
mittee.

Governor.

Bartlesville has now become the
center of the activity in connection
with the Osage-Western railroad The
surveyors of the permanent location
or grade of the road arrived in this
neighborhood yesterday afternoon and
are camped about two miles southeast
of town. The officials Of the company
drove in here shortly after noon from
Nowata where they spent last night.
They drove over the company's line.
The officials refused to talk to news
paper reporters. They said that the
time for discussing their plans about
Bartlesville had not arrived and that
they would have nothing to say at
this time. One of them declared that
the line could hardly be expected to
miss as good a town as this He said
that they would have something to say
of interest to the business men a little
later.
The surveyors who are camped near
here are deciding upon the permanent
grade of the road and the fact that
they are camped almost in the city
limits makes it hard to believe that
there is any chance of the line going
around the town. This is the line
which is building from Vinita to Enid.
It is said to be Frisco" project

they were regarded with suspicion and
the police were sent for. Upon being
question the lads were unable to give
satisfactory answers as to how they
came into possession Of the stuff and
were arrested.
Finally they told story about hav-
ing found the brass in the rear of an
automobile garage and the police at
once took steps to learn If this was
true. All the garages in the city were
communicated with but all of them de-
MED ownership of the brass. Finally
the police pretended that they were
going to lock the boys up and the lat
ter were frightened so badly that they
told how they really had come into

they were allowed to return to their
homes on condition that they show up
