Durant. Okla, Aug. 14.-Durant was
the scene of widest commotion to-
night. the result of false report of
another assault by a negro upon a
white woman and an equally ground
less rumor that nearly hundred ne
sroes had boarded a freight train at
Atoka bound for Durant, and that
they would be augmented by a hun
dred more at Caddo.
The report of the assault came
from Warwick, southwest of Durant,
the scene of the killing of the negro
early Sunday morning, and stated
that the woman and her husband had
both been shot.
Every available automobile and rig
bearing armed men was dispatched
to the scene Posses also went from
Colbert Gale and other towns. Feel
ing was aroused TO a high pitch, but
the report proved groundless and its
origin could not be determined.
The report of the negroes coming
to Durant was conveyed in messages
from Atoka. On receipt of this in
formation more than four hundred
armed men rushed to the depot and
prepared to prevent the negroes un-
loading here, the arsenal of Company
Ii, Oklahoma National Guard, was
broken into and an unsuccessful eff
fort made to get the militia rifles.
This report proved equally ground
less. and at late hour the crowd
dispersed.
Excitement was rife at Caddo fol-
lowing the report of the second out
rage Many negroes fed in terror
from the towns.
\ late report says about fifty arm
ed negroes boarded a southbound
Katy train at Atoka, but all left the
train before it reached Caddo.

ments to plant large orchards The
peach crop that was sold here this
year brought about seven thousand
dollars in money to the growers in
this section, and a crop that brings
money at a time between the cotton
season when money is scarce is one
that should be encouraged. Every
fruit dealer and men experienced in
the growing of fruit that have visited
this section, state that it is an ideal
place for growing peaches, and It IS

Can Ell Pasoans give correct def
milton? One is wanted very badly by
certain very earnest women of a GER
tain eastern city; the w. C. T. U. of
Cincinnati has heard that highballs
are being served to women in certain
drug stores in that city and they are
anxious to get a true and correct
definition of what it is; they want to
take some sort of action.

somebody else to settle it. Ell Pasoans
have chance, but the FL Pasoans are
either as ignorant on the subject as
tho Cincinnati women, or else they are
very shy. Nobody who has been seen
so far appears to be able to give a
clear definition.
No Religious Aid.
Inasmuch as it is a semi-religious
organization that asks for the defini-
ton, it was considered but proper TO
give the ministers a chance to furnish
