James Moore, the man who, when
resisting arrest. was wounded by a
bullet from revolver in the hands
of the officer.
Moore had been arrested on a
charge of intoxication and disturb
ing the peace. On the way to the
Jail he fought the officers, broke
away and ran. Chief Fleming drew
his revolver, fired three times, the
third shot striking Moore in the leg,
bringing him to the ground. The
wound was not considered serious
at the time, but the man died while
surgeons were probing for the bull

Many witnesses of the shooting

free speech on the streets in Spo-

Sullivan says the revenue will be
spent for bread and water for the
street speakers.

are practically of a sisterhood; that
the South American city is a great city
as to population, business markets and
all that make cities great. Few know
or recall that the Argentine republic
is a century old a powerful, growthy,
and a rich country which has great
part of its development before it. But
it is true. The country and its capital
are among the prosperous nations and
cities of the world The exposition is
a great fair in a great land. 1t is
worth watching.
Argentina is the next great field for
North American emigration and ex-

States in its agricultural possibilities.
It's wide domain of virgin prairie lands

the Rockies and which is now farms
and homes supporting a great popula-

or late, and it must be soon if we are
to hold our own with the German, Eng
fish and other European nations we
shall turn toward South America and
the Argentine. 1t is what it's names in
dicates, a land of silver and gold for
American enterprise.
