HATCHETF|END
IS AGAIN BUSY
IN MUSK0CEE
MERCHANT ATTACKED IN HIS
STORE DIES FROM WOUNDS,
AFTER SAYING 1T WAS ACT OF
WHITE MAN.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 11.-W. B.
Province, grocer, was attacked by
a murderer with hatchet in Prov
ince's store shortly after noon We'd
nesday and three hours later died of
his wounds. His last breath was
spent as he murmured that a white
man had struck the blow.
The crime was discovered shortly
after one o'clock, when Provinces
wife entered the store, which is on
the outskirts Of the city. She saw her
husband leaning weakly against a
counter, blood flowing freely from
several wounds. A closer eXamina-
ton showed that Province had been
struck first in the back oe the head
and finally his face had been hacked
by several blows from the hatchet.
This weapon was found m the floor
by the mans side.
A scoop half full of lard and the
position of Province near the barrel
containing lard, leads officers to be-
lieve that the assailant entered the
store, asked for lard and struck the
first blow while the grocer had his
back turned, bending over the barrel.
Police officials arrested a negro
who gave the name of J. Jenkins only
a few minutes after the murder was
discovered, but he was afterwards re.
leased. woman who lived direct
ly across the street from Provinces
store declares she saw a negro enter
during the noon hour, but the dying
mans last statement has caused Of
ficers to believe that The negro is
not the murderer.
Province was rushed 70 a hospital
and operated upon but to no avail
1t is believed that robbery was the
only motive for the murder since the
cash drawer was rifled The murder
is the third due to hatchet fiends oc
curing in this city in little more
than a year, and the fifth occurring
in Muskogee county in the same time
In none of the eases has a single
person been brought to Justice.

Troops to Stop Raiders.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Raiding and
guerilla fighting in Texas along the
Mexican border will D. met by
strengthening the United States for
ces there, if Major General Funston
requests it. Secretary Garrison of
the war department and other Of
ficials insisted Wednesday, however,
that any such troops movement had
no connection whatever with Mexican
internal affairs and would be only for
protection of Americans in that dis
trict
War department officials could get
no full and satisfactory Information
of the character of the raiders. One
report was received here that about
1000 Carranza troops frcm the Ia
mauliapas garrison of General Navar-
cite had been crossing into south
western Texas in the vicinity of
Brownsville to rally Mexita ans in the
state to an uprising. 1t was said they
were under command of Juan de Los
Santos, Vincente Davila and Carlos
Garcia.
Secretary Garrison said he had no
information of that character, and
added that any Carranza troops found
in Texas territory would be disarmed
and shot if they resisted. Advices
from Carranza sources at San An
tonic declared there were no such
leaders as Santos and Garcia and that
Dayila was far from Brownsville.
They denied that any Cairanza troops
had crossed the line.
Texas Rangers in Htdalgo county
captured a flag bearing in Spanish
the inscription, "Army OF Liberation
for Mexicans in Texas" ard officers
at Brownsville said that for several
days thirty to forty Mexicans had
been crossing into Texas each day,
some of them having the appearance
of soldiers and carrying cartridge
belts.
Requests for more troops came to
the war department from officials
along the border and have beer re-
ferred to General Funston. upon

FIRE CAUSED BY

Damage to Residence at $50

Woman Tries to Enter
Burning Building.

Fire that is thought 10 have result
ed from a gas explosion in the coal

time, and who was In the house at
the time the fire started, was carried
from the burning building by neigh
bors, who were forced 10 hold her
from reentering the house after her
pocketbook.
Conflicting stories Of the origin of
the fire were told by Mrs. Goers. who
was too much shaken up over the
matter TO remember the exact cir
cumstances. One theory is that
dress which was hanging in the sew
ing room caught fire from "a match
with which Mrs. Goers was intending
to light the gas
The more probable theory is that
gas formed in the coal stove, causing
an explosion which scattered sparks
TO all parts of the room. The mica
windows OF the stove were nearly all
broken, several of the windows of the
rooms were blown out, as was the
glass in the doors.
Neighbors who saw the blaze al

fire from spreading into one of the
