IN BURBANK OKLA.
Tradegy Occurs Friday Last
Remains Inferred in Pat
ton Cemetery at South

The following article is clipped
from the South pittsburg Hust-
Ter. Mr.. Willis was at one time
. resident of this city and made
q host of friends while here who
are panied to learn of his un.
timely end.
William Willis, age thirty
years, son of Elder and Mrs. A.
j. Willis Of this city, was shot
and killed in a shooting fray at
Burbank, Okla, on last Friday,
June IL, between the honrs of |
and 2 O'Clock p. M, the remains
arriving ip this city Tuesday
evening of this week.
From the information at hand
it seems that Willis, who had
gone to Burbank some five years
ago and who had married Miss
Grace Plonondon, the daughter
of . very wealthy farmer of that
place, and who was living on the
section of land allotted to them
near Burbank, had experienced
some trouble with his wife, and
in an effort to adjust matters
with her he went to the home OF
her people where she was found
in the back yard. After several
words had passed between them,
Willis drew q revolver and fired
six shots at her, three of which
took effect in the body. Immedi-
ately Willis mounted his horse
and started for his home. Mrs.
Plomondon, mother of the wound
ed girl, ran to the door with
revolver and fired several shots
at Willis who escaped uninjured,
On the way, Roy Dorsett, the
man who held lease on the
plantation allotted to Willis and
wife, and who, it is claimed, was
grossly responsible for the exist
ing trouble between Willis and
his wife, he being the chief
instigator, was overtaken and
told by Willis of what had tran
spired and that he had come
after him. At this point Dorset'
wheeled his horse and started
through the field in the direction
of the barn bat was hurled from
his steed with q bullet penetrat
ing his bowels. When this wal
done, Willis rode to the schoo

One torpedo boat is said to have

RAINFALL RENEWED
IN WESTERN ARENA

Paris, Jan. French forces in the
east are en%deayoring to retake posi-
tons at st. Mihiel, where Germans
have been about to cross the Meuse.
Fighting in that vicinity and in Up
per Alsace occupies the attention OF
the experts.
Renewal of rains, which are now
deluging the entire battle line in the
north and center, has nipped the at.
tempt OF Germans to resume the of

Trenches are miniature rivers. The
entire country i'm front and rear is al
most impossible boys. 1t is almost
impossible for transports to move
and keeping the men supplied with
ammunition and food is almost inn
possible.
Hundreds of men are suffering from
rheumatism and pneumonia, despite
efforts of the doctors.
Half a dozen trains are reported as
arriving at Dunkirk loaded with sick
men. Not a single wounded soldier
was among the lot.
Many are reported dying from lune
diseases. Few of them will be able
to return to the front for many weeks.

from this cause than the French.
Reports from Alsace lighting show
the French advance is continuing
slowly. Germans are strongly in
trenched and have been reinforced.

In the western theater of val the
deadlock continues. French troops ap.
parently are making some progress in
the invasion Of Alsace, but elsewhere
there is little activity except for
sporadic encounters between compare.
lively small numbers of men. The
Berlin report says the French obtain
ed a foothold on the heights west OF
Cernay, ! lsace. but were driven of
after a stfong bayonet attack. At
Souain, ip the forest of Argonne, the
Germans claim they took several
French trenches and 200 prisoners.
In the western theater, according to
the Berlin statement, the French con.
tinue a systematic b~ombardment OF
villages situated behind the German
lines. They seem Indifferent to the
killing of their own countrymen and
the destruction of French homes
says the German statement, which
adds that the bombardment caused
the Germans little trouble.
The French statement says the Ger.
mans delivered two attacks in the
region of the coast and to the south
east of st. Georges. without success
From the Lys to the Disc there were
artillery engagements. Near Rheims
the destruction of a German battery
and an advance of 100 Yards is
chronicled.

WILD RUMORS ARE AFLOAT

Stories of Heavy Loss Of Lite circu-

Lifted Through Manholes From
Scores of Stalled Trains in Big In
deroround Tunnel.
New York, Jan. More than 200
persons were overcome by smoke,
by flying glass, bruised and otherwise
injured in a fire aboard a train in the
subway at the height of the rush
morning hour. In the panic and con
fusion which ensued police headquar-
ters issued a report that twelve per.
sons had lost their lives, but this
proved to be unfounded and only one
known death was recorded.
The entire fire fighting forces OF
Manhattan, every ambulance in the
borough and every pulmotor that
could be found were summoned. The
fact that scores OF persons were I'M
conscious led to the early report that
many had been killed. A g at
tached to the Polytechnic hospital re.
ported that one injured woman had
died In an ambulance on her way to
the hospital.
Two hundred persons in all were
taken to the Polytechnic, the surgeon
said.
The fire broke out in a subway
train, which was one OF a long line of
rush-hour trains held up between the
Fiftieth and F%ifty-ninth street stations
by an earlier accident in the power
house of the system, which tied up
the service.
At the time of the fire the subway
contained smoke from a previous fire
extinguished only a few minutes be-
fore at the Spring street station.
The spot where the fire burned
fiercest was opposite Fifty-sixth street.
Hampered in their efforts to reach
the blaze the iremen dug into the
pavement with their axes. They sue
ceeded in making a hole above the
subway at Fifty-third street. From
this opening belched a volume OF
smoke and flames as If from a crater.
Hose was directed through the open.
ing and even hand extinguishers were
used.
For ten blocks the streets were
lined with the ambulances that came
from all owe the city. A Gordon

lice held in check tens of thousands
of spectators.

victims who lay close to the burning

up the streets and thus afford the fire.

could work unhampered.
All manhole covers were removed
as well as ventilator gratings. In the
openings thus made firemen placed
their hose. Other squads of firemen
crawled down through the binding
smoke that poured from the Fiftieth
and Fifty-ninth street stations into
the tube itself and worked in relays
rescuing the passengers who were
overcome by smoke.
