S.l. SCHOOL RALLY
Many Impromptu Speeches. Decide to ReOrgamze s. l. A Will Meet
 Wednesday Oct. 20

Through the efforts of John Davidson, very important movement was launched Friday night which will have great influence in the upbuilding of Ozark.
 Mr. Davidson secured the CO., operation of the school board and leading citizens of the town, and a meeting was held at the high school auditorium Friday even ing. at which d number of good talks were made and al organl- zation started which will work up interest in a monthly meeting to talk school matters and de wise plans b, which our already splendid school can be made bet ter and its usefulness widened till no country in the state can boast of as good school
 The meeting was opened b y singing America. " The teach CTS of the first, second, and third grades had their pupils present and each grade rendered songs which were very enter taining and showed that the teachers were doing thorough work.
 Attorney D. L. Ford, former principal of the school, spoke on the Needs of the School, the Hindrances of the School. /" His address was entertaining and he got into the core of the subject, and was very instructive and of great benefit in giving a true in- sight into the working of the school and will materially aid in enabling the school builders to carry out their work. J. K. Bryan. president of the school board. was chairman of the meeting, and called on John Day. idson. l.. H. Moore. J. J. Gallo way, J. H. King, Roy Bell. /. S.. Thompson, Prof. Agee. F. P. Nichols H. A. Nickell, l.. o. Fisher, and G. w. Barham for impromptu talks. and each one showed that he had the welfare of the children at heart and had studied over how to better our schools. 1t would be good had we their speeches so they could be published for everything they said was good and the result will be felt in the future.
 It was decided to hold meet ing at the end of each school month and a committee was ap- pointed to meet with the s. l. A. and make out a program for the next meeting.
 The s. 1. A. is to meet tOmOr- row at 3:30 D. m. at the primary school building and reorganize, and begin active work again towards improving our school.
 The board reported a sufficient amount of money on hand to pay the expenses of the school and reported that all the teachers were doing splendid work.

JETHRO GUN FIGHT
Allen Nixon Gets Throat Gut and kie Mclaughlin Shot Thru Chest
 Will Recover

Allen Nixon and kle Me Laugnlin engaged in what look ed like, for a few minutes, would be a fatal fight at B. F. NiXon's store at Jethro Saturday about 4 D. m. The facts are hard to get from among the conflicting statements and wild reports that are circulating over the country and being sent to the newspapers. The best we can get previous to a sitting of the evidence in court is as fol- lows:
 Kie Mclaughlin was at the front of Nixon's store in sit ting or kneeIing position talking 10 some one when Nixon appear ed. Words passed between them and fight with pistol or pistols and knife began. In the struggle, which seems to have begun on the porch and ended in the store, NiXon's gun was accidently discharged twice, and the third bullet was dis charged at McI.aughlin's chest, entering between the fourth and fifth ribs, one and one- half inches on the left side of the left nipple and lodging under the skin one and three fourths inches on the left side of the back bone, hav- ing ranged downward. Me Laughlin cut Nixon's throat on the right side, a downward slash about one half inch deep, not deep enough to strike the jugu- lar vein. B. F. Nixon disarmed the two men and separated them. After they were separat- ed and Mclaughlin had left the store to go home. 1t is alledged that Willie Nixon. son of Allen Nixon, followed to the edge of the porch and fired one shot in the direction of Mclaughlin.
 The wires being down between here and Jethro. the news had to be sent to Mulberry, and here, and was delayed in reach ing the sheriff's office. but by 7::30 Sheriff McIlroy and Deputy McClelland were on the way to Jethro. At tn same time Nix on was on the way to town to surrender, but missed the officers as he came by another route. It was raining so hard and was so dark when they arrived at Jethro that they could not travel over the dangerous road to Nix on's house that night, but staid at Jethro till Sunday morning, when they went to Allen Nixon s house and found he had come to Ozark the evening before. They arrested Willie Nixon and returned to town. Allen Nixon was placed under arrest and early Monday Esquire Townsend was summoned and a warrant issued and bail in the sum of $5, OO0 allowed, which Nixon gave. Willie was placed under $500 bond.
 Mclaughlin is resting easy and the prospects for his recov- cry are good at this time.
 There has been bad feeling between Nixon and Mclaughlin for some time and it has been freely predicted that trouble

development work now in progress
to further open up the vein found
lately by a raise from the 10O-foot

Arrest Escaped Prisoner

The Carson City authorities have
arrested an escaped prisoner from
the California state prison at San
Quentin. He was recently in the
Carson City prison and escaped from
that institution when his term was
nearly over. This led the officers
to suspect that he was wanted for
some other crime and they captured
him at Virginia City. He is wanted
at San Quentin to complete a four
year term for burglary.
