THREE SHOT
TWO DYING
Oklahoma Farmers Resent Importation
Of Negro Cotton Pickers-Night
Battle Follows.

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 23.--Preju-
dice against the Importation of negro
Icotton pickers into Briartown, in the
southern part of Muskogee county, re-
suited in pitched battle Sunday even
ing between opposing clans in which
three men were wounded, two fatally.
Samuel Robinson was shot through
the body and fatally wounded. w. H.
Larlmore was shot In the head and
will probably die, and John Hilton was
shot in the shoulder. All are wealthy
farmers.
The three injured men had been hav-
ing trouble getting cotton pickers to
harvest their crop and were warned
by other white farmers not to bring
negroes into the country.
Their cotton was shedding and they
were about to lose the crop SO as a
last resort they imported negro pick
ers from Muskogee and Eufaula and
housed them on the plantations
According to the news brought from
Briartown today the negroes were be-
sieged in their homes Friday and Sat
urday night and shots fired into their
cabins. Sunday night Robinson, Hill
ton and Larimore armed themselves
and lay in wait near the negro cabins
Sunday night armed white men came
up, threatened the negroes and began
shooting. The planters returned the
fire and in the battle followed the
three were wounded
1t has not been learned whether any
of the opposing faction were injured
Sheriff Wisener, with posse of depu-
ties left this afternoon for Briartown.
Trouble is expected tonight and the
officers will guard the blacks, who are
now panic stricken with fear.
Early today it was reported that the
white people of Briartown, had served
notice on the negroes that they would
have to leave the country before sun
set tonight 1t was this report that
caused the sheriff to go to Briartown
with force of deputies.

GREEN SUGAR CANE KILLS STOCK
Only a Few Bites Are Fatal to Cows
And Hogs at Hobart.

Hobart, Okla, Sept. 24-W. S.
Baker, who conducts dairy one mile
southwest of Hobart, lost eleven head
of fine milk cows Monday when they
broke over fence and ate green sugar
cane. The eleven cows were valued at
$500 and no insurance against this
kind of death was carried on the prop
erty.
According to Mrs. Baker, who told
the story Tuesday afternoon, the cattle
could not have been in the cane patch
more than five minutes. A veterinary
surgeon was called and when he cut
into the stomachs of few of the cows.
it was found some had eaten but two
or three bites 1t was the second crop
of the cane.
1t was learned Tuesday that green
sugar cane had killed other stock in
this county before the loss of Bakers
cattle Monday.
w. A. Bailey, who lives two and one
half miles northeast OF Hobart, lost
seven hogs last week. He turned the
hogs into the cane and the entire lot
died shortly afterwards.

1898 there were 15242 failures That
was the year almost before the tariff
was revised. In 1907 there were
15690 failures. This was under a high
tariff republican administration. The
Times might run the following para
graph from the late Senator Dolliver
of Iowa, who was royal and brilliant
republican: Il have become satisfied
that, we as republicans, finding the
gument too convenient, have exagger-
ated the relation of the tariff contro-
versy to that great industrial crisis.
1t always was a little difficult to con-
meet the panic of 1898 with the tariff
act of 1894, in view of the fact that
the event seemed to precede the cause
in such way as to put any ordinary
man on suspicion So l am not going
to discuss that question except to say
that we have already had two or three
mistakes made in this bill by misin-
terpreting the industrial conditions of
1894, 1895, 1896 and 1897"

THE MARSHAL
WAS BR|BED
Agreement Alleged to Pass LIQUOR
Safely Into kIahoma-Broken
BY Slain Man.

Bartlesville, Okla, Sept. 23.-That
there was an understanding between
him and r. l.. Bowman, the federal
officer whom he is charged with shoot
ing down, through which wet goods
were allowed to come across the state
line into Oklahoma, is the declaration
of Fred Behning, according to the
story told by Behring'S father today.
Behning declares that he paid a duty
of 81 barrel for beer and so cents a
case for whisky. The father says that
his son has shipped all of his wet
goods in here of late under these
terms
When he learned the other day that
Bowman was destroying four loads of
his goods across the state line in Ok
lahoma from Caney, Behning started
out in an automobile to compel Bow
man to either give him back his money
or else cease destroying the goods.
When he and his associates reached
the scene Behning declares Bowman
opened fire on him and that he killed
Bowman in self defense.
Behning an dthe fifth man, known
Jas "Blackie," are fugitives. They are
believed to be in hiding near here.
Frank Baughman, driver of the car.
was taken into custody by Sheriff John
Jordan yesterday,
Tulsa, Okla, Sept 23.-Three men
are under arrest and in Jail here in
connection with the death of Bowman.
The prisoners are John and William
Peters, father and son, and Frank
Baughman Usage county farmers.
They pleaded not guilty to the
charge of completely in the murder of
Bowman before United States Com
missioner Conner, who placed the
bond of the elder Peters and Baugh-
man at $4,000 each, and William Pet
ers, who is but II years of age, at $500.
Excitement over the killing of Bow
man, who was buried here yesterday
is slowly dying down, but his murder
followed the next day by the killing
of Deputy Sheriff Carl Starr of Rogers
county, near CollinsyilIe, has aroused
the law-abiding people of this section
of the state to full realization of the
great power of the lawless liquor ele-
ment in Northeastern Oklahoma.

The republicans of Oklahoma now
have three presidential parties instead
of two. Geo. NJ. Flick of Oklahoma
City, recently made presidential cleo
tor by grace Of the courts, has an
nounced that he will vote for nine Will
som Marshall electors. He declares
that the nomination of Taft was stolen
and that Roosevelt is not the republi-
can nominee. Hence, he will vote for
himself as the one and only genuinely
honest republican, and will spew the
other nine republican electors out of
his mouth.
