of the necessary resources Of nature
and facing a untoWard condition taat

our agriculturists have grasped even
the merest fragments OF opportunity
and lifted themselves out Of the pinch
es Of adversely
Our business interests, inspired by
our inherent optimism, have shaken
off the shacMes of stringency and re-
established a permanency in business
that foreshadows another II months

Our rich soil has produced plenti-

and they remain in possession of that
spirit of the forefathers that erases
the marks Of adversely and writes on
the unfurled annals Of our history the

PROSPECTIVE CORPSE
DECLINED WITH THANKS
Logan County Has Troub. es
knough Without Taking Over
Payne County's Tfibulations

Moorehead's big Payne county
ranch unioaded a prospective corpse
on Logan county this week, and ap-
plication was made here last night
for murder warrant. The Logan
county officers passed the affair back
over the line. alleging that Logan
county has troubles enough of it's
own, cotton picking and crap games
being in fashion here, too.
Bill" Williams one of the many
negroes employed at the Moorehead
Place, was smashed in the head the
other night, heavy wrench being
used His head was cayed in and he
was hurried TO the university hospital
at I.angston. The hospital is main
tanned for the colored university and
normal institute but is occasionally
pressed into service by county Off
GERS for use in negro cases.
President Page, OF the university
telephoned last night that the patient
would probably be dead before many
hours ana ne urged action. County
Attorney Adams said he could not
start murder trial in advance, and
referred the matter to Payne county.
A Hot-Bed of Trouble
It appears that Williams was laid
out by woman, and that the Difficult
ty has aroused much more interest
than SUCH cases usually arouse in
that region 1t is well known that on
the Moorehead ranch there is the big
gest fall coiony in oklahoma and tnat
to retain the necessary help it is adj
vsable to colonize great deal to
ward cotton picking time, otherwise
the negro laborers would not stay
through the season. The result OF the
big mix-up is usually few killings.
The ranch consists of an enormous
cotton farm and a large stock reser
vation, managed by Moorehead senior
and two sons
About month ago the senior
Moorehead was almost killed. Some
OF his farm hands got into fearful
fight and it looked as If the popula
ton would be decreased. Mr.. Moore
head got into the affray bodily, get

Rules for Olympic
Games Will Allow
Protest to Jury
Overriding Of Decisions by Judges in
Behalf of Defeated Contestants
is Possible.

NE WORK. March 5.-The official pro
gram for the olympic games at Sweden
next spring has been issued and along with
the last OF events It contains the rules and
regulations Of competitions. one Of the
most striking Of the new regulations and
there are several Is the one which gov
ems protests At London in 1908 the rule
was to make a protest through the com
mittee OF honor to the officials controlling
the event, and they disposed OF It as they
thought best with the Swedes Il VIII be
different. as the following rule will show:
Protest with regard to a competition
should be made through the competitors
representative on the jury at the latest
half an hour after the announcement OF
the decision Of the judges in the question
to which the protest refers, to the presi-
dent Of the jury, VINO hands over the pro-
test, together with detailed report for de-
cision to that same jury.
BY this it can be seen that the interna-
tional jury can after protest open the de-
csion Of the judges of competition and re-
verse 1t IL a vote in the majority 80 de-
clares For instance, II a man wins an
event and there is protest by another
competitor over his style or some other
method, even II the Judge declares that he
won in a perfectly fair manner, the jury
can award me prize to the second man, or
to the third for that matter. Taken at It's
best the rule is the height OF foolishness
and bound to create a lot Of trouble II not
some bad blood at Stockholm. Then again
how easy It will be to sway this jury
especially against an English speaking con
testant who win be in the minority.
! Quite a lot Of additions have been made
| to the list which originally appeared some
time ago There will be Graeco-R Roman
wrestling instead Of catch-as-catch-can and
the cycling events will be confined to 6
road race Soccer foot ball has been In
cluded and there will be rowing on the
Henley regatta plan, but there will be {
race for inriggers for the Swedes them
selves
In fencing there is to be a foil competi
ton, and this is interesting to Americans, al
the Amateur Fencers league intends t
send a team. At London three years ag
there was only an exhibition. Lawn tenni
is on the list, but II does not say whethe
1t will be on grass or clay courts. In tn
gymnastic team competition there will b
two styles so as to give other nationalitie
a chance. One style will be on the Swedish
system Of scoring and the other in an!
system but the Swedish.
