TROUBLE OCCURRED AT WRIT
YESTERDAY.

| While the fire was raging yesterday
| afternoon at Writ, pistol duel was
fought between Buck Roberts and
Jonas Fooshee, and as a result Foo
shee received a pistol wound in the
left side, Just below the heart. The
bullet passed through the body and

officer in the field, brought Buck Rob.
erts to Ardmore and placed him in
the county Jail.
Jonas Fooshee was well known
here He resided here several years
ago, His brother, Irb Fooshee, was
killed by Bill Ballew. In attempting
to ayenge the death of their brother,
John and Jonas Fooshee tried with
shotguns to kill Ballew They shot
Balew down, and a stray shot killed
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Ford, who was making deliveries
of milk when the shooting occurred.
For this crime John was given a
life sentence, and Jonas a ten-year
sentence. Our information is that
both men had their liberty as a re
suit of executive clemencv. Under
the parole of John, he was not al
lowed to return to Carter county, but
the pardon of Jonas was without CON
ditions.
Buck Roberts is a man of SO years
At different times he has served as
an officer for 30 years. The night he
spent in prison last night was his
first He is said to have been an en-
forcement officer under Governor Has
kell.
Several reports have reached here
as to the cause of the killing One
report states that the men were part
ners, and Roberts had accused Foo
shee of an unfair division of the
money. Another report says Roberts
roomed with Fooshee, that Fooshee
entered his room a few nights ago
and abused Roberts. The men talked
the matter over next day and Rob
erts thought It was settled.
Yesterday, Roberts undertook to
raze the Dorsey building, in the path
of the flames. He gave workmen GER
tain orders Fooshee approached and
gave different orders, some heated
words passed. The men separated.
Afterward Fooshee approached with a
gun and struck Roberts on the head
and snapped his pistol at him, but
the pistol had been emptied in sound
ing the fire alarm. Roberts drew
.9S calibre pistol from his pocket and
fred four times. One shot took effect
which resulted fatally.

Big Growth in Activity.
81 wish to report that the condi-
ton of the Healdton field is much
better at this time than at the time
I was appointed for this work, March
20, 1915. At that time there was be-
ing produced in the Healdton field
between 10000 and $4,000 barrels of
oil daily; there was being run from
said field and sold to different pipe
lines dDOul l,-OU DdIItlS udlls. Al
that time the price Of Healdton crude
was 80 cents per barrel. There were
three strings of tools at work in the
field and some six or eight teams.
At the present time the field is max
ing an estimated production of from
10000 to 100000 barrels per day,
There is being taken from the field
at the present time all the oil that
any producer cares to sell, the bal
ance going into steel storage, the
present market price being 60 cents
per barrel with premiums of from
10 TO 10 cents per barrel being bid
There is between fifty and sixty
strings of tools running in the field
at the present time, with something
like 800 teams at work. 1t is esti-
mated that there are $500 men at
work in the Healdton oil field Jan.

Ell PASO is NOT
SURPRISED BY DE
FACTO ATTITUDE

FL Paso. Texas, April 6.-Intimations
in Washington that the Carranza govern
ment might soon indicate to the Ameri-
can government that the troops pursu-
ing Villa we're futilly following a cold
trail and that the de facto government
would welcome the return of the United
States troops to their own country, oc-
casioned no surprise in Ell Paso today.
There have been insistent reports here
that the de facto government looked
with disfavor on further pursuit OF
Villa because the presence of American
troops on Mexican soil was proving an
embarrassment.
These reports could not be confirmed
because the Mexican officials both here
and in Juarez said the questions of a
diplomatic nature must be considered by
the government heads at Queretaro.
Army officers here say that while the
difficulties of the Villa hunt increase dai.
ly and that it may be weeks before he
is captured, the pursuit will be relent.
lessly continued until the word comes
from Washington to withdraw the troops
Twenty Apache Indian scouts passed
through here today en- route to the front
where they will try to pick up Villas
trail. The Apaches made an unbrolxer
ride Of 60 miles from Fort Apache to
Holbrook. Ariz.. and then did q wal
dance before taking the train.

gineer or Eagle Point
Fourth Inquiry Received from
America Dealing with Case of
the Eagle Point-NO Change
in Policy Concerning Passen-
ger Steamers

Berlin, Monday, April 3-(Via Lon
don, April GA fourth American in
quiry was added today to others await
ing reply at the foreign office when
the American embassy requested in
formation regarding the steamer Eagle
Point recently sunk off Queenstown
and asked whether she was destroyed
by a German submarine. The foreign
office states that as yet it has no in
formation from the admiralty regard
ing the Sussex, the Englishman, the
Manchester Engineer or the Eagle
Point. The admiralty has countered
the question regarding the Sussex with
a request for more exact details on
the time, place and circumstances OF
the Sussex disaster. No suggestions
or possible explanations covering the
case of the Sussex have been ad-
vanced in authoritative circles. Only
one supposition is heard in unofficial
circles to account for the incident IN
case it should develop that German
submarine is concerne d-that the Sus-
sex in build resembled a transport or
a cruiser. Another possible explanation
frequently heard is that the sinking OF
the Sussex occurred in the region not
only theoretically but actually within
the zone of regular war operations and
on a route used largely for the con-
veyance of troops.
DR.. Alfred F. NJ. Zimmerman, under
secretary for foreign affairs, informed
the Associated Press today that any
doubts regarding a possible change of
policy regarding the treatment of pas
senger steamers was unjustitied The old
order to submarine commanders against
the destruction of unarmed and unresist-
ing passenger steamers without warning
and without providing an opportunity for
safety to those on board was still in
force, DIR. Zimmerman said. He added
that in case or error or violation Of or
ders Germany would not hesitate to &C
cept the consequences and make all suit
able amends. DR.. Zimmerman also de-
clared that the same policy and orders
were still in effect regarding neutral
steamers, the attitude of the German
naval forces toward these vessels being
that they are governed by the establish
ed regulations of the so-called cruiser
warfare. According to these regulations
Dr. Zimmerman explained, neutral YES
sells were subject to destruction only
when it was found after an examination
that more than half of the cargo consist
ed of war contraband.
Dr Zimmerman EXPRESSED the opinion
that the greater part Of the cases of the
sinking of neutral vessels which are be-
ing reported with increasing regularity
in news dispatches would be found to be
due to Mines which he said were admit
ted and used by all parties as recognized
weapons of war.

Reports Accepted

The attaches reports are regarded
here as virtually conclusive proof that
the Sussex while carrying % American
citizens was attacked in violation of
solemn assurances given the United
States by Germany With this fact ap-
parently established. it is generally
conceded that the United States is con-
fronted with situation more grave
than any which has arisen since the
outbreak of the war 1t was said au-
thOritatively again tonight however,
that no definite step would be taken
by the American government until
Germany has replied to the informal
inquiries submitted by Ambassador
Gerard in the cases of the Sussex,
Manchester Engineer and
Eagle Point. 1t was declared that word
from Berlin was being awaited, not so
much because information as to what
has happened is wanted but to give
Germany an opportunity to present her
version and to say what will be done
about it.
In view of the evidence collected, it
is confidently believed in many quar-
tiers that Germany will admit the at
tack on the Sussex and unofficial dis
patches from Berlin have indicated
that such an admission undoubtedly
will be accompanied by disavowal and
offer of PREPARATION.
The only legal weakness in the case
of the Sussex, it is said, is the fact
that the American naval attaches did
not actually see the metal fragments
taken from the Sussex and the fact
that no American citizens have sworn
to having seen the wake of a torpedo
before the Sussex was struck. Such
