But mere denunciation OF the crime
OF a mob amounts to little or nothing.
We must recognize what the facts are
that excite the mob to act. Dreadful
though II Is for the mob spirit to be
reused in a community by such a crime,
1t woul be an even worse calamity ~
the community did not feel the fury OF

should be able to seek satisfaction under

SERVICE DELAYED
Mexico Probably Using Wires fol
Affairs Of State. ...--...

Laredo, Tex, March Sit was IL: 40
o'clock tonight before the regular AS
sociated Press leased wire from La
redo to the City of Mexico was allow
ed to be put into operation.
This circuit ordinarily opens at GAO
p. m. Tonight the local Mexican tele-
graph people informed the Laredo Of
fees of the Associated Press that no
orders had been received from Mexi-
co to make up the circuit, and that
they could not make the connection
until authorized to do so.
No other explanation was vouch-
safed, and as the wires were in work
ing condition. the government must
have been using them for extraordi.
nary federal affairs.
At 11:40 p. IN. connection was made
and the wire turned over to the press
service, without any excuse for the
delay.

Anarchists After Alphonso.

Madrid, Mar. Sit became known
here Tuesday that an attempt to as
sassinate King Alfonso was narrowly
frustrated Monday at Alcazar de San
Juan. Anarchistic plotters had made
all plans to kill Alfonso when he ar
rived at that point on the royal
train.
Only few hours before the train
was due at AlcaZar de San Juan
the authorities learned or the con
spiracy and arrested the would4be
assassin just as he was leaving his
home to go to the railroad station
He had been chosen by lot to at
tempt the life of the King. The
train arrived fifteen minutes after
the anarchist was arrested.
The prisoner was brought to
Madrid and through him the authori
ties expect to secure the names OF
the leaders in the widespread revolu-
tionary conspiracy. He is believed
to be a member of the same gang
which recently attempted the life OF
the king.

Who won those free votes yester-
day? This question will be asked a
thousand times and for the life of
us we couldn't even guess as it
would take some careful counting
to determine who they were. But
one thing we know and that Is, 1t
was a very close race
Watch the paper eacn day, as we
expect to make some more announce
ments that will be very important
to all of the contestants and they
don't want to let any opportunity
of securing extra votes go bv.
Some people have asked us what
chance the country candidates had
against those in Ardmore. The
country candidate really has the bet
ter chance for they are acquainted
with every one in their town and
each town has certain amount of
pride and they would like to see the
candidate who is representing them
in the contest, win the first prize.
Any outside town, If they made up
their mind they were going to see
their candidate through, could win
any of the prizes they desired. An
other thing: Ardmore has as many
candidates, according to the popula-
tiOn, as any of the towns outside. so
you see it is really about even. The
outside candidates are not working
against those in town, only for the
automobile.
The finish of the contest is often
so close that only a few votes sep
arate the leaders. Hhe Contest Man
ager has seen where a dollar sub
scription would have turned defeat
to victory and won the automobile.
A few minutes work could have Sc
cured that, so do not take any
chances, but keep busy every min
ute that you can.

Been Quicksand.

of the bin.
The accident occurred some time
after II O'Clock, when Mr.. Grind
staff went into the bin for the pur-
pose of explaining to another en-
Move the work which was to be
done. When he stepped into the bin,
according TO the statement made by
]. w. Outlaw, who was near by
he began sinking into the corn
and the force of the suction caused
him to be entirely covered up and
before he could be rescued death had
come.
Mr.. Outlaw, who was with him.
stated that he saw he was sinking
in the corn and reached for his
hand. but could not hold him. When
he saw that the man was covered
up he called for help and fellow
worlSmen rushed to his aid. but were
greatly handicapped by the onrush
of the grain, and just as he was tax
en- from the bin he breathed his
last. In the meantime medical aid
was summoned, but to no avail, as
death had already ensued.
The body was removed soon after
to the home of Mrs. Rebecca Grind
staff, a sister-in-law of the deceased,
on East Cherry street, where 1t Is
being held awaiting funeral arrange
ments.
The deceased has oeen in the en-

quiries is the story in miniature OF
the great contest yesterday. That
the candidates have been working
hard the last few days is sign a
good many of them are determined
to win.
Who do you think will be the win
ner? No doubt we hear that ques-
tion hundred times a day, but it is
as much of a mystery to us as 1t is
to anyone else. No one knows how
many votes the different candidates
have but they themselves and they
are not going to give that away if
they can help it. Any one has a
perfect right to hold their votes
back until the judges are ready to
take charge of the counting, all that
we require them to do is to turn in
the money so the paper can be start
ed.
Those who wish to help some fav-
orite in the contest will do well to
give their subscription as early as
possible and if you wish you can
take out subscription at this office
and We will either give you the votes
and you can hand them to the con-
testant or we will place them to the
credit of une candit@te YOU wish to
vote for.
