RUSH THE WORK.

The Board of Freeholders car re-
gain a whole lot of their lost pres
tige in this vicinity by rushing mat
tiers on that Woodbridge creek
bridge. The War Department has
said go ahead, and go ahead let 1t
be. The public have been long suf-
fering in this matter and deserve
the very best efforts the freeholders
can put forth.
1t now seems certain, however,
that the structure can not be repair
| ed in time to do the hundreds OF
people who go to Boynton Beach any
good his season. The contractor Is
allowed ninety days in which to com
plete the contract, and even II he
| should finish in sixty, which is out
of the question considering the job
he is undertaking, it would be toe
late as the season ends with Labor
Day, not quite five weeks off.
However, 1t is gratifying to kno"
that at last something can be done
and that the long, cold waits on the
creek meadows will not be neces'
sary this winter in making trans
fers.

NEGRO KILLS HIS
WHITE EMPLOYER

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 24.-W. E.
Harland, justice OF the peace OF this
township, election inspector and prom
inent Wagoner county farmer, was
shot and killed at $3.50 Thursday morn
ing by Joseph Cotton, a negro in the
employ of Harland, following a de-
mand made by the black for his wag-
es.
The negro is said to have agreed to
work by the month and to have cen
tinually been drawing part OF his
money. Thursday morning he asked
for the wages due him, Harland was
busy and paid little attention to the
negro. telling him he had better work
out the remainder of the month be-
fore he drew any more money. The
negro grew angry, drew a revolver,
fired on Harand and fled. Hariand
died In a short time after he was shCt.
Posses in pursuit Of the black have
not yet been heard from. Feeling is
running high in Wagner county and
should the negro be captured il will
take the cunning OF the officers to
prevent violence.
A negro who was an eye witness to
the shooting says Harland was shot
while in his wagon starting TO drive
20 the field to gather corn. The ne
gro, after ne demanded his money,
grabbed the horses by the brides
stopped the team and then deliberate
" aimed and fired. Harland was
shot through the abdomen. With a
cry of "Oh, I'm shot" he fell over the
side of the wagon, dead.
There was considerable bitterness
against Harland on the part OF the
negroes because in the last election
he was very strict in enforcing the
grandfather" clause, and preventing
illegal negro voters from casting a
vote.

ENDED. WILL BECOME AN AN
NUAL EVENT.

Lawton, Okla, Oct. 24.-EncouraS
ed by the success OF the fist annual
Indian fair which ended here Thurs
day evening, the heads Of five schools
represented have decided to make II
an even greater affair next year, and
the business men of LawtOn have
agreed to supply funds with which to
construct at least two exhibit build
ings by next year il the Indian school
superintendents will decide to hold
the event at the Comanche school

Fully three thousand people, more
than one thousand OF whom were In
dians, attended the fair Thursday al
ternoon The day had been designat-
ed as educational day and both city
schools and the Cameron school OF
agriculture dismissed to permit teach
ers and students to attend.
An interesting feature of the pro
gram was discussions both from
whites and Indians as to the te-t
methods of Indian education.
In awarding the premiums, the
Comanche school captured first prize
for the best general exhibit and also
for majority of firsts for depart

the paving contracts call for the use
OF only the very best material. For
instance, the present plans OF Kan
sas City comprehend one of the
finest boulevard systems in the
world. The municipality is special
izing on this feature. In seeking
the country over for the very best
obtainable grade OF asphalt, the
contractors found that the native
Oklahoma product tested out the
best in existence. AS conse-
ruence the streets of that growing
city are now being paved with the
Oklahoma material, and the excel
lence OF the finished thoroughfares
Is such as to raise the standard for
that class of work in the entire
country.
Hereafter the home product will
feature in the paving operation OF
several OF the very largest cities in
the country, and the output will In
crease by leaps and bounds.

FROM DEFIANCE
 CAME JOE MOWREY

Joe Mowrey, champion player in the Hard Luck league, Is back in Birming- ham trying hard to make the Baron team For the sun field there will be a hard scrap between Mcbride and Mowrey. This little fellow Is won der when running is the event. He can run so fast that his footsteps can not be counted and scarcely seen.
 Last season Mowrey went finely about 15 days when he broke his Moot sliding to second base. He is a splen- did base runner, a sure fielder with a good throwing arm, and brainy play CT. He is not a heavy hitter. but is not weak with the stick. Under ordi- nary conditions he should hit about 26O.
 T was born in Defiance, Ohio, just 27 years ago, on February ,, of Irish parents" said he "Our family moved to St. Louis when l was rather young and I have lived there for a number of years. I went to school in St. Louis for about seven years and then went into the trunkmaking business. How ever, when l was about IS years old started to playing ball in St. Louis when l could get off from work and developed into an outfielder.
 Tn 1901 l played in the st. Louis; Trolley league with the Deils. Mutz Ems is also q graduate of that league. attracted attention there by my hit ting and faJ base running, and went to the Houston team in the Texas league as a young recruit. Well, I made good there and had pretty fair sea son. I batted .2l0. 6Ai1nA .960 and stole 26 bases.
 "The next season found me again there under Manager Wade Moore. I slugged the pellet at a 300 clip that season, stole large number of bases and fielded .975. At the end of the in the Western league. In 1906 l could not agree on terms with the manager and l remained out of baseball for that season.
 "However. the love of the sport called me back in 1908, and I went again to the Houston team. That sea son I batted 265, stole 46 bases and felded finely. In 1909 I again played with the Houston team. I hit .271, field l. ed among the leading outhelders and stole 70 bases
 T became one of the veterans in the season of 1910, for I had played there for my fifth year. That season l sugged .eS5. stole 51 bases and field cd about .9S5. The Philadelphia Ma tionals drafted me and l reported in Birmingham in 1911 for a tryout. Evi- dently I could not show enough to keep me in the big show and so I was turned over to Manager Moles- worth by Manager Dooin.
 "I played here until May ?, when I broke my foot sliding into second base, and was at my home in St. Louis the remainder of the season Last win ter I played football and I find that my ankle is in fine shape. and that my speed on the bases will be about the same. l hope to stay here this year, but l know that I will have hard fight l am rather small measurin z feet 7h inches tall and weigh 16o pounds"

CLEVELAND CAN'T
 PLAY FOR RAINS

Mobile, March 15.-As far as prac- tice and outdoor work is concerned the Cleveland American league baseball Il team which has been in spring training here could have obtained as much train ing al home. The team arrived in Mo- bile two weeks ago but the marine artist interfered, giving only three days to have a workout. The men are not halfway conditioned.
 Manager Davis says that with one or two exceptions. the other ma jor league teams have suffered also. In the basketball game yesterday between the Mobile Y. NJ. C. A. tea,n and a pick ed team from the Cleveland baseball team the local boys won by the score of 63 to S.
 It was announced that nine members of the Cleveland team will be dis placed before the trip through tho south is completed The second squad leaves tonight for Montgomery, where they play Saturday and Sunday.
 Pitcher Van Gregg will join the team at New Orleans.
