Achievement For Allies Diplomacy.
Greece and Roumania have been
anxious TO get into the fight. Fear
that Bulgaria would Join with Turkc )
has held them back. To keep Bulgaria
out OF the war meant not only that
the influence OF Germany and Austria
must be overcome but the wounds that
were caused only last year. when
Greece, Servia, and Turkey deprived
Bulgaria of Salonica, Monastir, and
Adrianople must be healed.
Certain diplomats say they have I'M
derstood for some time that Bulgaria
has been promised Adrianople and q
large slice OF the present Turkish ter

there is said to have been some con-

Turkey Eleventh Nation.

London, Nov. Turkey has def
initely thrown in her lot with Aus
tria and Germany, and if Portugal
is counted, there now are eleven
powers at war, with prospects of
three more-Greece, Bulgaria and
Communicating drawn in.
The note which Great Britain pre-
sented to Turkey on Friday last, de-
manding an explanation of the ac-
tions of the Turkish fleet in the
Black sea and the dismantling of the
former German cruisers Goeben and
Breslau, was really an ultimatum
TO which Turkey was required to
make reply by Saturday evening.
SO far as is known here, tele-
graph communication with Turkey be-
ing interrupted, no answer was made
and the ambassadors of the Triple
Entente at the capital, it is under,
stood, demanded and received their
passports.
Turkish troops, which had been on
the Egyptian border for some time,
were reported to have crossed the
frontier, while the Turkish fleet con-
tinues to menace Russian towns and
shipping in the Black sea.
Neither Russia nor Great Britain
was unprepared for this move by
Turkey, which, government officials
say, was known to have been taken
under the influence of Germany, and
the allied powers have forces on
hand ready to oppose Turkish in
vasion.
When the regular forces were with
drawn from Egypt to take part in
the war in Europe, they were i'm
mediately replaced by troops from
home much greater in numbers at
least, and only last week they par
AIDED through the streets of Cairo,
making a splendid showing.

CARTER MADE.
A GREAT HIT
ga 7 j R D AY
HIS CAMPAIGN OF THE COUNTY
WILL HAVE FAR PREACHING EFF.
Feet ON TOMoRRoWS ELEC-
TON.

Charley Carter has done as much,
if not more, for the democratic
party, in his campaign of the county
Saturday, than all the rest of the
political speakers who have visited
here combined. Perhaps it is from
the fact that everyone knows Charley
and believes in him, but aside from
this, his speeches were full of logic
and were convincing to the rankest
partisan of the other two parties
who are in the fight. His speech
here Saturday night was a master
piece, and after the two hours spent
in listening to him, the great crowd
was so interested that they did not
wish him to stop.
Some of the extracts from his
speech make mighty good campaign
literature, and the county central
committee is using them today in
circulars that are being sent broad
cast over the county and district.
Mr.. Carter left this noon for Ma
retta. where he will address the
voters tonight He will speak at Eur
neyville this afternoon, and will re-
turn to this city, where he will be
for two or thre. weeks.
Mrs. Carter is expected from Wash
ington in a few days.

SHO D 7 IN {
At RAGTOWN
SU n D Az
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MEET
OPPOSITION WHEN THEY TRY
TO MAKE ARREST - TWO ARE
WOUNDED.

Deputy United States Marshal Hig-
night and Enforcement Officer Bra
ziel INDUCED in a shooting affray
with Joe Colson, an alleged bootleg
ger near Ragtown late yesterday af-
ternoon, and as a result Hignight
is in the Hardy sanitarium suffering
from a shotgun wound in the head
and shoulders, and Colson is in the
Waurika Jail, shot through the left
shoulder by Officer Braziel.
It is reported that the officers heard
that Colson had a big plant of whis-
key. and they went after the stuff
and to place him under arrest for
introducing. They secured between
four and five hundred pints, and af-
ter getting the stuff, the officers told
Colson to get his coat and come with
them. He entered the house as they
supposed to get that garment, but
emerged with a shotgun instead and
proceeded to shoot. He shot Hig-
night in the back of the head and
shoulders, but fortunately did not hit
him in the face, otherwise his eye
sight might have been destroyed,
BraZiel, who was outside the box
house, shot through the thin walls
and wounded Colson in the shoulder.
In the melee Colson slipped away,
mounted his horse and rode to Wau-
rika, wounded as he was, and was
placed in the jefferson county Jail.
Mr.. Hignight was brought to the
Hardy Sanitarium, where his wounds
were dressed, and he is resting cas-
lily today.
For some time the marshal has
been making life miserable for the
Illicit liquor dealers about the oil
fields, and they are not very fond
of him or of his methods of putting
a crimp in their transactions. There
fore, when the opportunity arose,
one of their number took a chance,
and got the worst of the transaction.
Mr.. Hignight will be about again in
a few days unless unforeseen COM
plications arise.
The officers emptied their six
shooters at Colson, but the only shot
that took effect was that from the
automatic of Braziel, while Colson
loaded his gun the second time.

during the entire month of October

enough to be worth anything to grow

was two and a-half inches, and that
of moisture put the land in
