PYLE CHANGES POSITIONS
FORMER CONWAY BOY NOW CASHIER OF ENID COX
 LAHOMA) BANK.

Mr. A. B. Pyle, assistant bank com missioner, resigned last month and is now cashier of the Security State bank, Enid, recently purchased by Enid parties, and a strong local or ganization perfected. MT. Pyle has been with the banking department since shortly after statehood; was special examiner for MT. Shock on the preliminary examination and was retained on the permanent force after this work was completed.
 Mir. Pyle is a young man of a leas- ant personality, courteous and able. He will make the Security State a good cashier. We have never heard of any fault being found with his work as assistant commissioner, and do not believe there could be any. In this issue of the Banker we publish Mr. Pyle's address before Group at Durant. That he has been very ob- serving while assistant commissioner, is quite evident by the manner in which the subject is handled.-Okla- homa Banker.

REPUBLICANS MAY
 NOT HAVE TICKET

Little Rock, June 4.-Although the Republican state convention is less than a week off, the question of whether a state ticket will be put in the field this year seems to be as un- certain as it was three months ago and in some quarters doubt IS eX- pressed that even a candidate for governor will be nominated. Among the adherents of the machine and in the insurgent camp, however, much interest is now being manifested in anticipation of the state meeting.
 Interest centers principally in the gubernatorial nomination. A promi- nent Republican identified with the organization yesterday declared that Governor Donaghey vii certainly have opposition this fall despite the fact it has been rumored that DOnaghey might be given clear field by the Republicans. On the other hand, a leader among the anti-organizatlon men was inclined to regard this state ment with suspicion. He expressed the belief that the convention would decline to nominate a candidate for governor or run state ticket of any sort.
 In the meantime, however, not a few tentative candidates for the gov

 NOT FAVORED

Little Rock, June 4.-The proposi- tion to postpone the Confederate re union to be held in this city next year, is not meeting with great sup port. There are many who point to the fact that in the middle of the summer the farmers can then better leave their homes, but this is being combatted with the statement that the dead of summer is too hot for the veterans to make the long trip to this city or elsewhere. It is thought that the plan to change the date of the re- union will not meet with the approval of the executive committee.

SHOT DOWN ON STREET
DOMESTIC COMPLICATIONS WAS
CAUSE OF TRAGEDY.
Victim. Had just Left Court House
When Met by His Assailant Who
Opened Fire Without Warning.

3, -wo minutes after leaving the
}, 'et Iouse, where ihe had been con-
20 q" case in the Criminal Court,
DHcilloS.1se Hc se shot and almost in
stantly |0y R. S. Davis, at six
o'clock Tu> .ay afternoon. There
was large crowd of people on the
streets, and the shooting was done
at the corner, where is located the
Evans Pharmacy, one of the busiest
parts of town. Three bullets entered
the body, either of which would have
produced death. A magazine pistol,
carrying steel bullets, was used.
iMr. Davis was engaged in the in
surance business in Dillon, being the
junior member of the Dillon insur-
ance Agency. His wife conducts the
Central Hotel, at which Mr.. Hursey
was a boarder. The shooting ia al
legged to be the outcome of unfor-
tunate domestic complications, which
developed at the hotel some months
ago.
Upon leaving the Court House,
where Dillon's first term of Criminal
Court was in session, Mr.. Hursey
walked across the street, and was
passing in front of Evans Pharmacy,
when he was met by Mr.. Davis. Eye
witnesses to the affair say that no
words were exchanged, but when the
two met, Davis pulling a gun from
his pocket and began shooting at
Hursey at close range. The first bull
let entered the right side and the
second shot entered the forehead. AS
the victim of the tragedy whirled and
fell upon the pavement, it Is stated
that Davis fired at him again, shoot
ing him through the back of the
head. The affair is deeply regretted
by everybody.
Young Hursey was graduate of
the University of North Carolina,
and was admitted to the North Caro-
lima Bar, about four years ago. Quite
recently he came into an inheritance
of $4,000 from his grandfather's
estate, and it was his purpose to go
West and establish himself in some
prosperous city.
Davis surrendered himself to the
sheriff Immediately after the tragedy.
When seen at the city guard house
he said that he had no statement to
make.

POISON WAS FOUND
WIFE AND DOCTOR CHARGEI
WITH HUSBANDS DEATH.
Suspicion Aroused by Alleged Init
macy.-Brothers Had Dead Mans
Stomach Analysed.

AS dark as the act of Henry the
Eighth is the terrible accusation that
is being brought against two promi-
nent people of Swainsboro, Ga. New
er before in the annals of the history
of the county has it been so COM
pletely charged with excitement as
it is. Bunches of men are to be
seen standing on the street corners
talking excitedly and the sheriff of
the county and his deputies are pro-
ceeding in all directions in search
of an alleged fugitive.
This excitement Is due to the fact
that the state chemist, to whom the
stomach of Mr.. Fred Flanders, who
died June 4th was sent, has intimat-
ed that the stomach was full of pois-
on and that arrests had better be
made. The stomach of the deceased
was sent to Atlanta because relatives
of Flanders felt that he was poison
ed and suspicion rested on DR.. W..
]. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders.
When the sheriff went to arrest
them Monday morning, it was dis
covered that DR.. MI Naughton had
sold his place and all his property
had been turned into cash and that
he had left. Mrs. Flanders was ar
rested by the sheriff and brought to
Swainsboro.
MIR. and Mrs. Flanders have occu-
pied the home of DR.. McNaughton
since the death of his wife, about two
years ago, DR.. McNaughton boarding
with them. About two weeks before
the death Of Flanders, he became
violently i'll with what DR.. McNaugh-
ton, pronounced to be acute neph-
ritis. He was attended by no other
physician but McNaughton and nurs-
ed by no one but his wife. He grad
ually grew worse and finally on June
4th passed away.
Brothers of Flanders, on account
of DR.. McNaughtons attention to
Mrs. Flanders before, and after the
death of her husband, became sus-
Dicious that there was some foul play
and Tuesday they had his body ex-
humed, a coroner's jury empanneled
and his stomach removed by Drs.
Smith and Chandler and sent to At
lanta in order that the state chemist
might analyze its contents.
Only Sunday report was received
which intimated that arrests would
be in order, however, too late to
catch DR.. McNaughton, for he had
gone. Flanders was worth four or
five thousand dollars and he was
insured for about five thousand. DR..
McNaughton had lived in the county
for a mum Der of years and was con-
sidereu a good citizen

GIRLS PITIFUL PLIGHT.
Mentally Unbalanced Is Found Wan
dering in Woods.

While making a search in the
woods near Greenville Tuesday for a
negro wanted on trivial charge,
Sheriff Poole came upon a young
white girl about 16 years old, who
had almost gone back to the primal
state. The girl was asleep when
found lying on bank of moss near
the river bank, and when accosted
by the officer she declared that for
several weeks she had made her
home in the woods, living on berries
and sleeping in the open. The girls
clothing was wet by the continued
rains and she appeared in some
what exhausted condition.
The sheriff took the girl in custody
and placed her in charge of the au-
thorities at the emergency hospital
ir the Salvation Army citadel. She
was later identified as Leonie Ander-
son, and physicians say she has been
suffering from temporary mental abb
erratiOn.
