HEAVY RAIN
FELL HERE
THIS MORNING
OVER INCH AND A HALF FELL IN
ABOUT ONE HOUR STORES
ON WASHINGTON AND CADDo
STREETS FLOODED.

The rainfall here this morning, as
registered at the local observatory
was 10 inches at noon. The rain
was accompanied by hail in the north
part of the county and about Berwyn
Broadway and Caddo streets were
streams when the storm was at its
height.
The rain has materially damaged
the wheat and oat crop of this section.
Some has been cut and in the shock
and the rest is ready for the harvest,
if the weather will permit. Oats are
falling badly, and the wheat is also
damaged Unless the weather CON
ditions change materially the wheat
and grain growers of this section OF
the state will suffer severe loss.
The water rushed through several
stores on Washington and Caddo
streets, infiicting slight loss to mer-
chants.

FORFREE FAIR
ASSOCIATION
At PROVENCE
MEETING AND ELECTION LAST
NIGHT RESULTED IN WILSON
TOWNSHIP COMING INTO THE
ASSOCIATION.

Last night at Provence, after the
regular election, as required by law,
two members were chosen to repre-
sent Wilson township in the Carter
County Free Fair association. The
members were A. ]. Harris and Rob
ert Michael. Tonight Agent Scott,
F. X. West, and several others who
are interested in the fair proposition
will organize at Lone Grove; tomor-
row night at Wilson, and Friday night
at Pooleville. Three of the seven
townships Of the county have been
organized and all that is required by
the law is one more, and that seems
to be an assured fact.
From the township fairs the ex-
hibits will be centered in the gen.
eral county fair, which will be held
here, and then the exhibits will be
transported to the state fair in Okla
homa City as in previous years.
F. X. West. secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who has had
charge of the county exhibits at the
state fair in the past. is already be-
ginning his exhibit for the coming
entry. He has some fine specimens
of early peaches and prunes already
canned, and is collecting samples of
wheat and oats for the sheafs. Car
ter county has never taken first pre-
MUM at the fair. but has always
made a creditable showing. which has
been the source of some excellent
for the county.

BLACK BEAR .
KILLED NEAR 8
ENV|LLE
BRUlN SEEKS DIVERSION FROM
USUAL HAUNTS - is PURSUED
AND SLAIN BY FIFTEEN.YEAR-
OLD BOY.

A black bear, weighing over three
hundred pounds, was killed by a fif-
-year-old boy near Enville, in
Love county, last Tuesday afternoon.
Rufus Bond, who lives in that COM
munity, was in the city today. He
stated that the entire neighborhood
joined in the chase, which ended in
the death OF the bear at the hands
of Jesse Woods, who shot the animal
from a tree.
When the bear was discovered and
the alarm given, he took to the woods
along the creek bottoms and was
soon lost to sight. Hounds were fur
nished by the neighbors, who took
the trail and soon the bear was To-
Gated in tree, where young Woods,
who had the foresight to bring a
rifle, killed him.
The bottom country about Enville
is a good haunt for the bear, and
several have been killed there in
years past. This, however, is the
only one seen in that vicinity for
several years, and, as the bear likes
companionship, there are evidently
more in the wilderness there.

AGRICULTURE
HAS ISSUED ANNUAL REPORT
FOR YEAR ENDING JUNE 80 -
ALSO LAWS GOVERNING AMI.
NAL QUARANTINE.

Leslie Bush, superintendent of the
live stock inspection department of
the state board of agriculture, has
issued his annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80. The report
treats exhaustively of the manner in
which the tick is beng eradicated,
from the state and also the quaran-
tine laws. The report gives some
advice to farmers who have not the
facilities of dipping tanks. and rec
ommends spray for the same pur-
pose. The report is published by the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
college, and every farmer can pro-
cure a copy by asking for it.
Under the law, a certain per cent
of the voters of county, upon petit
ton TO the board of county commits
sioners, may require the board of
county commissioners to make a
special levy of all taxable property
in the county for the purpose of
constructing a central dipping tank
station or as many in the county as
is deemed necessary. Richard McLish
of this city, present member of the
state board of agriculture, is at work
on this proposition, with good hopes
of success.

the Russians are falling back south

ter attacks have been repulsed with
gains for the Teutons from all points
north of Przemysl into Bessarabia
Far off as this front is from Eng
land and France it is watched more
closely than the western front, because
it would appear that these operations
are being pressed in an attempt to
clear Galicia of the Russians, prep
aratory to breathing spell in the
east, which is likely to be followed
by crushing blow aimed at Italy
The fighting is growing harder daily
along the Austro-Italian frontier and
in view of past performances it is
considered reasonable to assume that
Germany will throw a great mass of

BRYAN IN FIRST SECTION OF HIS
STATEMENT ON "CAUSELESS
WAR" PROPHESIES GREAT
PEACE-MAKlNG OPPORTUNITY.
AFFECTS NEUTRALS
Bryan Says That in Great Struggle
Each Side Has Felt Justified in En-
croachng Upon the Rights of the
Neutral Countries.

Washington June l6-W. J. Bryan
in the first section of his statement on
The Causeless War" today prophe-
sled that the greatest peace making
opportunity of all history is certain
to come to the United States.
Also that with the return of peace
there will be a demand for an inter-
national conference to change the
rules of international law, which
seem to have been made for nations
at war rather than nations at peace.
Under the stress OF the titanic
struggle, the statement said: Each
side has felt justified in encroaching
upon the rights of the neutral. Ocean
highways, the common property of all
have been, to some extent, used for
war purposes"
After describing the hirrors and af.
tlictions of war, Bryan said that no
neutral nation has been able to look
on with Indifference, particularly the
United States, whose population is
composed of people from every ma
ton of Europe.
Bryan also said that the war is
deranging business and intruding into
politics in the United States and also
stimulating agitation for larger army
and navy appropriations.
