HIMSELF TO
SHERIFF
Landrum Mills Charged With Killing
George Clark, Remanded to
Jail Without Bal!

Landrum Mills, the young white man
who is charged with the killing Of
George Clark, negro, on the
formers place near Dptton on Sat
urday. September %, and escaped im-
mediateIy after the shooting, came in
to Chickasha this morning and gave
himself up to Sheriff Hodge Bailey.
Immediately upon his arrival Mills
was placed IN jail and at o'clock ap-
peared before Judge Moore, when his
hearing was set for Tuesday, October
10.
Mills said very little on delivering
himself to the sheriff beyond the fact
that he had quietly left the scene Of
the killing after believing that Clark
was dead and had made his way to
Ardmore, where he remained until
reaching the decision to stand trial.
He was remanded without bail to the
county jail pending preliminary hear
ing.
Mills. it is said, was threatened by
the negro for having, as the negro be-
lieved, informed on him, resulting in
Clark's arrest and conviction for gam
bling and his arrest for unlawful pos
session. He is said to have warned
the negro on several occasions to keep
away from the Mills farm and that on
the day preceding the shooting on
meeting the negro who was driving
with some white men in an opposite
direction, the negro had made a move
as if to leave the car to follow Mills.
The witnesses for the state are
John Mills, his wife and son. the wife
Of the negro Clark. Or. J. S. Little and
Frank DuBose.

well and plenty Of money was placed
in circulation. The total proceeds
from the sales amounted to about
$500 A large part II this we-.t for

a good price as did cattle and horses.
Smith and Wilson, the auctioneers,
deserve credit in large measure for
the success Of the day, being good,
clean and energetic statesmen.
Money is Easy.
Yesterday was considered the most
satisfactory sales day in over a year.
Everybody seemed to be in good hu-

scores. The men brought money and
so did the women and 500 bills flash
