The Broadway Baptist Church.

The Broadway Baptist church of this
city seems to have entered upon a new
era of prosperity. Pastor Masters
closed his first months pastorate with
yesterdays services. During the
month the Sunday school has rapidly
increased in attendance, and is being
more perfectly organized. A normal
class for the training OF the teachers
was inaugurated last night. There Will
be about twenty-five in the class. Dur
ing the month fourteen new members
have been added to the church, hve
OF them by experience. There were
three additions at the close OF the
services last night. The pastor raised
tho olestjon of more room and better
equipment for the work OF the church
I'm the sermon yesterday. The subject
las. ni7ht was "Despising the Church
of God" the continuation Of a series
or the Church The preacher said
me word looks down on the church
today, because so many members de
spised It. He showed there were four
great classes of so-called church mem
hers who despise the church, esteem
It lightly. Those who prefer worldly
ORGANIZATIONS to the church, whether
IT be lodge, club or society. Those
who prefer the fellowship and asso-
Citations Of the world to that OF the
church. This is the main reason why
so many people keep their letters out
of the church. Then those who do
not attend the services of the church
nor give to it's support despise 1t. TIE

NEW ORGANIZATION.

The Ardmore Industrial association
has been launched, backed by the
most substantial business men of the
city and charter has been applied

a large textile mill will be located
Here In speaking of the mill this
morning, ]. r. Pennington said that
Ardmore had reached the stage
where it was no longer possible to
depend on it's surrounding farming
interests for existence and ii was
time for Ardmore citizens TO get
busy and hear factory whistles blow.
The charter was applied for last
week and will be in the hands o.
the association in a few days.
The association have several prop
ositions under consideration and
when their charter arrives a monster

WASHMOOD CASE
IN DISTRICT COURT
ECHO OF THE ADA LYNChING is
BEING HEARD TODAY BEFoHe
JUDGE HUSTON.

A case of unusual importance was
called to trial in the district court to-
. day. 1t Is a case of the United States
VS.. A. Washmood, Henry Pruitt, Clint
Pruitt, Dan Sic and j. b. Miller, charS-
ed with the assassination of Ben Col
Inns, former United States marshal
at his home near Emet in what Is
now Johnston county, on August lst,
1906 at night time.
J. b. Miller, one of the defendants
in this case was hung at Ada by a
mob together with three other men
for the assassination of Gus Bobbitt,
also a former United States deputy
marshal. Clint Pruitt was shot and
killed this summer on the streets of
Cornish. Dan Sic is also dead, leaving
only the defendants Henry Pruitt and
a. Washmood.
These men We're indicted by the
grand jury at Ada in September, 1906,
they each got a change of venue from
Ada and also from the town of Tish-
omingo, bringing the case to Ardmore
before statehood.
The county attorney of Carter
county upon the advent OF sta,etood
sent this case back to Johnston coun-
ty, where the crime occurred, for
trial. The district judge at Tishomin-
20 transferred the case to Ardmore
again upon TIE ground that change
Of venaa .ron Tishomingo had bee Il
legally gral,e1 and therefore his
court had no jurisdiction.
The defendant Henry Pruitt has
been out on bond and Is now on bond.
1t is alleged that he had no direct
connection with the killing, but that
he furnished and paid Washmood and
Miller to do the killing.
The motive Of the crime Is thought
to be that Ben Collins while attempt
ing to arrest Fort Pruitt in 1904 shot
Port Pruitt, from the effects OF which
he never recovered.
A. Washmood forfeited his bond and
has been fugitive from justice until
apprehended recently in southern
Texas and he Is now in jail.
Judge Russell was employed to pros
ecute this case long before statehood
and he will probably conduct the pros
ecution. Judge A. H. Huston of Guth-
rie has been assigned by the supreme
court TO hear said case. Many of the
witnesses in the case are dead or have
moved away.
This promises to be hotly contest
ed legal battle.

The big show is here. The big car
lival of the Ardmore Fire Department

son Shows arrived in Ardmore last
night, over the Santa Fe at eight
o'clock, coming from Oklahoma City

pect. In no attraction can there be
seen or heard anything that Will Of
fend the most refined taste. Their fea'
ture attraction Is the trained wlld
animal show and from the size or the
tent that has been erected to house
this attraction it is certain that what
other cities have said about 1t being
equal to a circus must be the truth. In
the animal show that are shown the
best animal acts that can be secured
in addition to a number Of sensational
circus acts. It is premier attraction
according to the reports from the

THE ARDMORE
CONCERT BAND
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO RE-OR-
oANIzE BAND IN THIS cITY-Ac.
TON TO BE TAKEN AT ONCE.

Does Ardmore want first class
brass band?
That is a question that will be set
tied in a few days and If the city
through its citizens will respond IN n
substantial manner then We will have
musical organization that will be
credit to the city.
Ardmore has some good musicians
within its midst and with proper en-
enlargement would have a band sec
ond to none in the state. The city
owns a set OF instruments that would
serve as a nucleus around which a
complete Instrumentation could be
built, and it is hoped that the meeting
held yesterday at the city hall will he
productive of substantial results. An
other meeting will be called in a few
days and at some future date a mass
meeting will be called ami the citizens
of Ardmore given an opportunity to
donate toward making the scheme a
success.
Nothing is more beneficial in an
advertising way to city than TO have
frst-class band, Ardmore has the
instruments and the musicians and
the movement Just started means that
a good band will be organized within
short time.
