Editor ArdmOreite:
In this mornings issue of the
Morning Star, under the heading Of
police court news, in which it was
stated that Peter Pau, the Mexican
caady maker" was fined in police
court for fighting tSu other parties
and was fined for the same, wish
to make the following statement:
l was fined in police court. IL is
true, but | disclam that was in
error OF the charge giled, and | fur
ther desire it understood that | am
a native Of Greece and not a Mex
can as the article stated. | have
been in this country FOR number Of
years and my citizenship papers are
on file at the court house of this
county, and ! claim the right as
any other citizen to protect myself
and property when in danger.

and am paying large rent and
taxes for doing so and | don't think
the article that appeared in the star
OF this morning TO be just to me in
the least. was informed that the
article was furnished by Judge Shell
ton, but if it was he is certainly in
error. He knows that l have always
been law-abiding, and he also knows
me too well to word an article in
the manner OF this one, having done
business with me for over two years.

to put myself right with the people
of Ardmore, with whom l am on the
very best of friendly relations.
Respectfully,

GETTING READY FOR
THE STATE FAIR
JUDGE WEST WANTS ASSlS-
TANCE OF INTERESTED PAR
TIES IN GETTING UP THE Ex-
hlBIT.

Carter county had an exhibit at the
Oklahoma state fair last year than
was credit to tin fact, display
of which any county might be justly
proud, and has been making prepara-
tions 10 surpass the exhibit of last
year by this years display notwith-
standing the drought that wrought
havoc with corn and other crops In
this part of the state.
Judge West has been gathering and
farm, garden and orchard and has
very nice display at his office at pres
ent, but this is not enough. Secre
tary Mccoy of the Commercial Club
is in receipt of a communication from
I. s. Mahan, secretary of the state
fair association urging that the eX-
hibit be gotten in readiness as soon
as possible and placed in the space
allotted to Carter county.
Until the evening of the Both of
September to get the stuff in place il
is urged that a call be issued for the
stuff to he prepared and made ready
for shipment not later than Satur-
day, the 23rd
Judge West has labored hard, prac-
tically alone, to get this exhibit to-
gether and now the cry has gone
forth for help. 1t is the earnest de-
sire of every one interested that hear
~ cooperation be given this move
ment and not wait until the last mo-
ment before getting the exhibit to-
gether and then have it arranged SO
hastily that il will not make a Credi-
table showing. One prominent farm
er stated this morning that it would
be best to forego the exhibit alto
gether unless the people of the coun-
ty took enough interest in il and send
an exhibit of which they could point
with pride Everyone spoken to about
the matter say that they are ready
10 90 TO work and make the exhibit
second to none in the state.

COUNTY ATTORNEY MATHERS
KILLS BILL BA[lEW
LIFE OF NOTORIOUS CHARACTER COMES
COURT HOUR.

\ sensational shooting took place
at the new court house today during
the noon hour, and Bill Ballew.
well known character of this county,
is dead as a result.
Court mad adjourned and County Al
torney Mathers was in consultation
with Balew in an inner room OF his
office when the shooting occurred.
Assistant Attorney Bleakmore was
in the frCnt office in consultation
with parties relative to the proceed
ings of the district court when the
shooting occurred. crowd immedi-
ately assembled. but We're barred from
the rooms and medical assistance sum
nOned to attend Ballew, VINO was
on the floor in the front office, he
having come from the inner room dur
ing the melee, and was lying on the
floor in pool of blood. He lived
but a few moments after DR.. Hardy
arrived and the remains We're taken

Brown & Bridgman and prepared for
burial.
Immediately after the shooting, MI
Mathers went to mis- home and re.
maned, refusing to discuss me mat
ter.
Balew has figured IN several shoot
iny scrapes in the county, and few
years ago shot and killed Irb Fooshee
on Caddo street. Some time after
this the two srstnors of Focshee al
tempted to kill him by shooting, but
only succeeded in wOunding him. A
stray bullet killed a little boy at the
corner of Main and Caddo streets,
for which the FoOshees were tried
and sentenced, one TO serve a life
sentence, and the other ten years in
the penitentiary.
Just what provocation MI Mathers
had for shooting Ballew it is i'm
possible at this time to learn. Nh
Mathers is one of the best natured
men in the world and is known as
"Sunny Jim to his legion of friends
who assembled and offered their ser
vices in any way possible for the
part he took in the unfortunate af-
fair.

q don't think anything about it at
an was his reply. AS far as We, the
city, is concerned the claims were
disallowed upon the recommendation
of the city attorney, and the case is
closed as far as We are concerned.
OF course suit will be filed in the dis
trict court by their attorney but that

IWENTY-FIRST
ANNUAL REPORT
MANY INTERESTING AND vALu-
ABLE FEATURES IN THE TWEEN
TY-FIRsT ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE NORTH DAKOTA EXPERT
MENT STATION.

The twenty-first annual report of
the North Dakota experiment station
contains reports from the following
departments, agricultural, chemical,
botany, horticultural and veterinary.
In his report for the agricultural de-
partment, Prof. ]. H. Shepperd states
that 5000 letters have been received,
$500 OF which he answered personally.
He also calls attention to the live
stock in the state decreasing, but that
a change must come in the farming
and with 1t an increase in the live
stock. In view Of this he has been
working out data to show how the
change can be brought about.
One Of the most interesting things
in Prof. F. f. Ladd's report of the
chemistry department is the milling
and baking tests with velvet chan
wheat. demonstrating that it produces

studies ON flax wilt, what root and
rot diseases, weeds and seed analyses.
A report on the growth Of different
