One Lea Insufficient.

A one-legged beggar of the vag
variety, who hit this town before
the lid hit the top. of the jug, was
taken in charge by the police last
night. He is said to have had jag
aboard which would have bothered
a two-legged man to have navigated
with. Getting his one leg and his
two wooden supporters tangled up, he
was proceeding to entertain crowd
of small boys on one of the by-streets
by falling all over the sidewalk and
himself, when the police found him.
After taking a few hours rest cure
behind the barred doors the vag
departed from the quiet precincts OF
this quiet city.

SENSAT|ONAL|SM
IN PRICE CASE
THREATS OF HARM CAUSE MEN.
TAI DERANGEMENT TO STATE
WITNESS.

p. H. Price, the man who was
found on the banks of Caddo creek
in a demented condition and brought
into this city by William Mcbride,
was removed last night from the
county Jail to the Hardy Sanitarium.
Both of Prices feet were found to
be badly frozen, and DR.. Hardy of
the sanitarium states that a partial
amputation of those members will be
necessary, although he hopes to save
the body of each foot.
Developments of a somewhat sen.
sational nature have been unearthei /
in the matter. 1t seems that Price,
who is tenant on one of the farms
near Lone Grove owned by John Nc
Carly of this city, was a witness in,
a criminal case which was tried in
the district court about ten days ago.
He was the star witness for the state
and the state secured conviction,
so it is alleged, in this particular
case. 1t further develops, according
to statements issued, that an attempt
was made by friends of the defend
ant in the case to intimdate Price
and that he was threatened with
dire vengeance and bodily harm in
case he testified and the defendant
was convicted. After the trial and
the conviction, it is said Price and
his wife talked the matter ever and
decided that they would remove to
Texas. Price, it was decided, was to
go to Texas. leaving this section Sc
cretly, and after he had found To-
cation he was to notify his wife who
would join him. This accounts for
the fact that his friends have felt
no uneasiness over his absence and
instituted no search for him. They
knew nothing of his mental aberra-
tion nor exposure until notified by
phone last night.
The report of the affair further
alleges that Price came to Ardmore
and while waiting over night for a
train to Texas, stopped at a rooming
house. During the night he became
possessed of the hallucination that
he was being followed and spied up
on by those who had threatened him.
He left his room in the middle of
the night a week ago and has been
in hiding on Caddo creek ever since.
DR. Hardy states that since he has
received nourishment and proper
medical attention and been assured
that bodily harm will not be visited
upon him, his mirh has cleared and
he seems now to be perfectly ra
ticnal
1t is understood that the prosecut-
ing attorneys office has been ad-
vised of the matter and that infor-
nation against some of the parties
who are alleged to have been mixed
up in the matter, will be filed during
the day.

Artillery played the chief part in

Both Sides Express Confidence.
President Madero and his ministers
express satisfaction tonight with the
days work and ventured the opinion
powering of the enemy.
Gen. Felix Diaz, in his arsenal

any time since he was released from
prison by the mutinous soldiers, and
promises a repetition tomorrow of the
terrific bombardment, the fierceness
of which is attested by the many par
TALLY destroyed structures within a
radius of half a mile.
The greatest loss of life resulted in
a charge of rurales, who, with dar-
ing amounting to foolhardiness, moved
against rebel battery which moved
down men and horses.
Diplomats Try to Stop Fighting.
The execution done in the prolong-
ed engagement today was sufficient
in the belief of Senior de la Barra
and the diplomatic representatives, to
warrant a further attempt to prevent
another battle within the city. Senior
de la Barra sent a message to Pres
ident Madero saying:
"In the name of humanity and as
Mexican who is free of all political
and revolutionary parties, | wish to
offer my services in any way possible
to effect peace without further blood
she'd"
Madero replied, thanking him, but
declaring that no terms other than
an unconditional surrender could be
made with Diaz.
That the president Is determined to
make this finish fight Is evident,
though not more so than Diaz, who
realizes that there will be no clem-
ency in case of surrender.
Almost within a stones throw Of
each other, these two fighting forces,
each armed with more than twenty
cannons apparently expect to con-
tnue the struggle, regardless of
the loss of life.

FRUIT GROWERS
BASKET FACTORY
FRUIT CROP SECOND IN IMPORT
ANCE TO COTTON-FACToRY is
A NECESSITY.

James r. Taliaferro, chairman Of
the board of county commissioners,
was in the city today from Lone
Grove. In discussing the proposed
BASKET factory in Ardmore, Mr. Tai
iaferro said, Our people sat here
powerless last year to save their
fruit for two reasons, first no bas-
kets were to be had, and second, v7s
were not organized to sell our fruit
Hundreds of bushels in our part of
the county went to waste. The
fruit growers association, which was
organized here, saved the people,
many thousands OF dollars, but they
were unable to handle all the fruit
because it was impossible to get bas-
kets for love or money. | would
like to see the factory built, we have
the timber, the labor, the shipping
facilities, and if my information is
correct, there will be no trouble in
finding a ready market. However,
if the factory did nothing more
than to provide shipping recepta~
cles for the fruit and melons and to-
matoes raised in Carter and adjoin-
ing counties, the factory will serve
a most useful purpose. With ref
erence to the sale of stock, | have
this to say: If the factory is organ
lied with capital sufficient to op-
crate it, and along lines of economy
and effectiveness so that it can be
made a success, | am in for my part
of the capital stock"
1t is the Intention of the commit
tee to take out charter for $4,000.
1t is estimated that sixty per cent
of this amount must be paid in cash
for operating the factory this year.
Letters of inquiry have gone to man
ufacturers of machinery. Some land
owners have agreed to furnish tim
Der and take the price of it in STOCK.
and there is no reason why the fac
tory cannot be built. DR.. Son and
Henry Hunt have been at work to-
day selecting suitable sites along the
railroad lines and an effort will be
made to obtain a site without pur-
chasing one.
In discussing the basket factory
proposition, Mr.. Spragins who is al
ipn N
said he was willing to lend a helping
hand by the purchase of stock, pro-
vided the people wanted it badly
enough to purchase sufficient
amount of stock to- make the fac
tory a success.
Before the people will be asked to
buy the stock the committee of the
Commercial Club will get together
all information needed and will call
a meeting of a few of the best bust
mess men of the city and after the
prospects have been fully gone over
the question of it's feasibility will be
left in the hands of these men. 1t
is said that every fruit grower in
the county will take stock. Some
will not be able to take much, while
others will take considerable inter-
est. The fruit crop of Carter county
is second in Importance to the cotton
crop anybody who can plant a tree
can raise fruit here, but it takes or
ganization and proper cooperation to
market the products of the orchard
and the factory and the fruit grow
ers' association is needed for this
CO. cooperation in marketing.

became general. The cannon fire was
augmented by sweeping salvos from
the machine guns, while the infantry
came into action with volleys and in
d,vidual shooting.

ing was set on fire by the rebel shells.

ward the palace and on the higher
buildings of the business district.

fcnse during last night. Madero's ruse
to shut off Diaz' water supply failed.

ant, entered the city today with three
hundred followers and is said to be
riotting wholesale loot.

for a moment, but this was regarded
a. rebel trick to draw the govern
ment troops out. Soon the terrific
battle was resumed and hundreds on
both sides were killed.

from the rebel position. as are also
PCrter's Hotel and the American club,
