KILLING On
MAIN st. THIS
7 AF FTERNOON
OFFICER DOW
sRAZlEL KILLS TOM GREEN
WOOD NEAR CALIFORNIA CAFE
THIS AFTERNOON.

Enforcement Officer Dow Braziel
shot and almost instantly killed Tom
Greenwood on Main street this af-
ternoon near the California Cafe.
Greenwood shot and wounded Of
ficer Braziel in the arm, and Bra
ziel in return shot Greenwood
through the heart, killing him almost
instantly.
Braziel was taken to the sani-
tarium for treatment and the remains
of Greenwood were taken to an un-
dertaking establishment. Bad blood
is alleged to have existed between
the men for some time, and the
shooting was the outcome.
Greenwood was well known here,
and Braziel has been an officer under
the department of the interior for
some time.
The details of the killing will be
forthcoming at the inquest later.
The wound in Braziels arm is
merely a flesh wound, no bones
being broken. Greenwood was hit
twice either shot would have proved
fatal
Braziel is at the Hardy Sanitar
ium, in charge of Sheriff Garrett.

ardor of our troops and those of our
allies are admirable The pursuit will
be continued with all our energy. The
government of the republic may well
be proud of the army it has equipped
British Turned Tide.
London, Sept. 14.-The sixth week
of the war between Germany and
France Great Britain and Belgium has
brought vast transformation. The
pursued are now the pursuers. The ir-
resistible sweep of seven German ar
mics through Belgium into France
met an immovable force at the river
Marne.
The army of General Won Kluck,
which so long battled to turn the allies
western flank was slowly and stead
ily outhanked. Its retirement before
the small but hardy British army
turned the tide of battle.
Today, if French official reports are
correct, all the German armies, except
that facing Verdun and a few miles
southwest are retreating. General Won
Kluck's army, which a week ago was
few miles southeast of Paris, has
retired more than sixty miles to the
! northeast, while on the extreme right
| the army of the Bavarian Crown
Prince which was attacking the
French eastern line from Nancy to
| Epinal, has fallen back to the frontier
of Lorraine, permitting the French to
reoccupy Lueville and several other
towns. General Joffre, French com
mander in chief, pictures the retreat
as hurried, if not disorderly, with the
Germans abandoning prisoners, sup
plies, and wounded.
Last Sunday, week, was the dark
est day of the war for the allies. The
! French government emigrated from
Paris to Bordeaux in a long, sad pro
cession of motor cars. An attack or
the capital appeared imminent anc
the main German force had hammered
a huge wedge into France between
! Paris and Verdun, with its center
some miles south of that line.
The French people trembled will
the question whether their army was
not beaten army-whether the his
tory of 1870 would repeat itself.
The battle of the Marne, which was
decided in week, is regarded by mill
tary critics as the most marvellous re
versal of roles of two armies known.
In their view It appears to have de
cided the first phase of the war an'
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-09-14

II is reported that the armies OF the
Crown Prince and two other COM
mands have been forced across the
frontier and that French Lorraine Is
now entirely free from invaders. This
would make another concentration IN
France impossible, leaving Won klucK
and Won Buelow hotly pursued by the
allies and menaced by an enveloplns
movement without a possibility OF re-
Inducements except from the small
force in Belgium.
1t is declared that the presence OF
Russian troops in Belgium has been
confirmed.
Petrograd reports rumors that a
large part of the Austrian armies
capitulated yesterday, but this is evi'
dently exaggerated.
Italy still remains neutral, but 1t Is
significant that she joined with the
triple entente in protesting against
Turkeys action.
While the first stage of the battle
of ages" is a victory for the allies,
the main German army is still intact
and the supreme clash is yet to
con1. The present week may see
even more desperate encounters.
Metz and its fortresses form a
strong pivot for the German left, while
the strategic frontier points give the
reatreating army of invasion splendid
defensive aid.
