Joe and Henry Mccain are sons of Mark Mccain and during the morn ing there had been some words passed between the McCains and Slagle. About 1:l0 o'clock this afternoon the elder Mccain and Slagle were in feed store on Main street and some one fired a shot. Slagle ran from the building and fell just behind wagon loaded with hay. It is stated that the elder Mccain followed him with a pistol in his hand and when he reached Slagle, who was laying on his back, attempted to shoot or strike him with the pistol. Slagle grabbed the barrel of the pistol and rose to his feet, and as he did so, another shot was fired. Slagle then wrenched the pistol from the hand of Mark Me Cain and fired at him, striking him in the hip He fell to the ground and then the two younger McCains, Joe and Henry. opened fire on Slagle.

HOPE HELD SITUATION
 WILL BE CLEARED
David LlOyd-George Optimistic That Eventual Solution Irish Problems Be BrOugh About Imperial Conference.

Londan, July 28.-"I don't despair about an eventual solution of the Irish problem in spite of the recent failure to reach an agreement between the Nationalists and the Unionists," said David Lloyd George today. He was replying to a request from the Asso- ciated Press for his views on the breakdown of negotiations for put ting the Irish home rule act into eff feet immediately.
 "We achieved at least one thing that had never hitherto been accom- plished," continued the British war secretary. Wed brought the repre- sentatives of the Irish Nationalists and the Irish Unionists to the point of shaking hands instead of shaking fists at each other"
 The secretary said the main prin- clpleS remaining were, namely, the immediate formation of an Irish par lament, exclusion for the time of that part of Ireland unwilling to partici- pate in the home rule and the consid- eration of the whole question of the future of the Irish government by an imperial conference at the close of the war.

PROGRESSIVES WILL
 CONFER AUGUST 5
To Decide Whether Convention Shall Be Called to Name Can didate for President-Opinion of Two Sections Divided.

New York, July 2S.-A national conference of Progressives at Indian .apolis on August was called today by Matthew Hale of Massachusetts, acting chairman of the National com mittee. The conference will decide whether a convention shall be called to complete the national ticket,
 One section of the Progressives who have not returned to the Republican ranks desires that a formal convention be held to place ticket in the field. Another section contends that such a step would not be practicable because the party machinery in many of the states is in the hands of men who have declared allegiance to the Re- publican party.
 Bainbridge Colby, who was largely instrumental in preventing the en- dorsement of Charles E. Hughes by the New York State Progressive Con- mittee at Syracuse last Saturday, issued statement tonight in which he said:
 My idea is that the conference will issue statement to the Progressives of the country rehearsing the hidden strategy of our Naional committee and its subsequent repudiation in all the states where there was free ex- pression and action. I think we should place the responsibility for the party's unhappy plight just where it belongs and take such steps as are possible for assembling the party's representatives after election day and then taking measures for the continuation and renewal of the party.
 "Should the conference give up the idea of holding a convention the ac- ton of individual Progressives on the presidency will be left where it be- longs, to their judgment and cor science"

ONE MAN CARS SHOULD BE
 CALLED SAFETY FIRST"

Little Rock, July 29.-D. A. Heg- arty, former general manager of 5he Little Rock Street Railway Company, is now president of the Texas SodtA- ern Electric Co. at Houston Texas In letter to Aera, the national street railway magazine, he says that cars operated by one man should not be called "One-Man-Cars," as it gives Che public a wrong impression. He says the term is misleading. and causes the public to imagine that there has been a reduction in the element of safety. when as a matter of fact, it has been increased. He suggests that they be called Safety First" or Safety" cars.
