 MT. Wofford will carry Craw- ford county by it's full Democra- tic majority and will also carry Logan and Franklin by safe majority.
 Crawford County Democrats vii vote the ticket straight this year and every railroad man in Van Buren has paid his poll tax this year. Many for the first time for years and many of them have formerly voted the Repub- lican ticket, but all are such en- thusiastic Wilson men that they intend to vote the straight Dem- ocratic ticket from top to bottom.

Cattle Shipment

Messrs. Arlington, Jeffers, Higgins and Glover sold to Stigler, Oklahoma, parties 3O3 head of cattle which were ship ped from here to that point on Wednesday of this week.
 These cattle were, in the main, a fair bunch of native Arkansas stuff and were in good grazing condition but in the whole lot there were only a few that show ed more than a mere sprinkle of good blood and as a result the average weight was far below what it should have been for cat tie of that class and age.
 Had the growers of these cat tie expended as much as $500 for good, beef type bulls two or three years ago this 200 head would have weighed, with the same cost of feed, from 30, lbs to 6O,000 lbs more and at present prices would have sold for from $500 to 5000 more.
 Not only so but every COW and heifer left on the farms to pro- duce future shipments of cattle would have been a better one from the infusion of good blood.
 We have every condition for the growing of good cattle ex- cept the blood of good beef types and while its introduction is go- ing to cost us some money we cannot efford to continue the production of cattle of an inferi- or grade.

the top of the right kidney. the right adrenal gland, had passed through the diaphram and finally lodging in the region of the heart. On the table his injuries were dressed, but no attempt was made to locate the bullet, as he weakened to a marked extent during the operation.
 As a result of the tragic affair, MT. Lambert has suffered from shock to such an extent that he is in grave danger of a nervous breakdown, although no blame can attach to him, as attested by the following note, signed by the wounded man while he lay in the woods.
 II came across the trail. and 1 was to be in another direction. All accidental. J. M. Parks"
 James M. Parks was bornv in Rockmart, Georgia. February IT,, 1874. being Az years old at the time of his death. When but 10 years old he was carried to Ozark, Arkansas. by the removal of his parents, and remained there until about 13 years ago. While a resident of Ozark he was married September: IS, 1898, to Miss Martha Pendley. He with his family had lived successively in various states, finally moving to the Pacific coast number of years ago, where he resided in Vancouver, Wash.. and later in Oregon. About three years ago he moved his family to Standpoint, where he has been employed almost constantly by one of the local roads as section foreman, his last position being with the Spokane International.
 The funeral will be held to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church, Rev. McCaughey officiating. Inter- ment will be made in Lakeview cemetery.

HUNTING TRIP COMES TO TRAGIC END

oi c iONOiNCI oiiot. LnhlOSA raised his rifle to his shoulder and after an instant's aim. pulled the trigger on what he supposed to be a deer. Hardly had the echoes of the shot died when Lambert heard the cry, My God, Lambert, was that you"' Yes" called back the other, How in the world did you get up there?'
 T forgot about the deer" was Parks reply. II guess you've killed me.
 Parks had kept his feet, all though hard hit by the soft nosed bullet which had entered the back of the right side. and, although bleeding, was able to walk. The two then started on the back track for Dover Camp No. 2 and had covered about a mile of the seven that lay be- tween them when Parks was able to go no further and went down. His companion wanted to start immediately for help. but the re- fusal of the injured man to be left alone held him there through out the night.
 At 5:3O Tuesday morning Lam- bert departed, first placing Parks rife and revolver within his reach for protection, in an emergency. About half way to the camp Lambert met Bert Me- Coy of Wrencoe and a compan- ion who were hunting. He di- rected them to the wounded man and hurried on his way to the Dover camp, which he reached about 7:30. Several men from the camp immediately started after Parks, but owing to the roughness of the trail and the condition of the injured man, they made slow progress in bringing him out and the camp was not reached until 5:3O in the evening. Here Parks received his first medical attention, more than "A hours after the accident, at the hands of Dr. Stackhouse. At nine o'clock that evening the City Hospital was reached, and Parks was on the operating table where the serious nature of his injury was established. He had stood the trip down excellently and talked volubly. never loosing consciousness until he went un- der the anasthetic at the hos pital.

Idaho, under date of Oct. 13, 1916, relative to the accidental killing of J. M. Parks, formerly of this county:
 Mistaken for deer in the dim light of the late afternoon, James M. Parks was shot by his friend. J. c. Lambert, last Monday and received injuries from which he died at the City Hospital in Sand point at about 1 o'clock yester- day afternoon. The accidental shooting occurred in the woods near Old Baldy. about seven miles west of Dover Camp No. 2, when Parks broke from the woods onto the trail ahead of Lambert after having diverged to bag some timber squirrels for their supper, the two men hav- ing gone into the woods that day on a several days hunting trip. Following the shooting Parks ab- solutely refused to allow Mir. Lambert to leave him in order to get help, as he felt that he was going to die and feared the night prowling covottes. So through the long hours of the night in the woods his companion re- mained, built a fire and heated stones to place at the others feet, and protected him with so much of his own clothing that he himself suffered from the cold, nor left for help until the early morning.
 In the ten years of MT. Lam- bert's residence in Standpoint, he has gained a reputation as an ex- traor dinarily careful hunter. Since MT. Parks moved here with his family three years ago. he and MT. Lambert have been on innumerable hunting and fishing trips together, and the former has often made the statement that he would rather hunt with MT. Lambert as companion than with any man that he had met. Sunday he called upon MT. Lambert and proposed the trip which concluded so sadly. Lam- bert seemed to feel some premo- milton, according to his own statement, fully corroborated by ante-mortem statements of the deceased. for it was only after repeated requests that he make the trip that he finally consented to go.
 The start was made on Mon- day morning, Lambert and Parks going first to Dover and thence into the hills to the northwest. About four o'clock in the after noon as they were heading west near the foot of Baldy. the bark ing of squirrels was heard in the timber to the right of the trail. At this point Parks left his com- panion to get some of them, sta ting as he departed that deer were apt to be moving at that time of day and that he might scare one up. He called Lam- bert's attention to an open spot in the trail about 75 yards ahead, saying that should he scare one the animal would perhaps cross that spot and offer a target for Lambert's 25 Winchester auto- matic.
 But a few minutes had passed, when Lambert gazing against the sun, caught the glint of its rays on what appeared to be the antlers of a buck deer. The SUD- posed antler was in reality the barrel of Parks gun as he car ried it on his shoulder. The illu- sion was further assisted by the branches of a dead tamarack and by the color of Parks pack coat, a yellow brown. about the color of a deer's side. which was dis . tinguishable from where Lam- kA.x oANOl D-..l.u A~

''LjZ' Goes 10 Athletics and

Are Drafted,
BY B. A. b.


Instead of being wildly elated 10
think he had sent young pitcher to
the majors President Duncan OF the
Oklahoma City ba> bali club expressed
profound disappointment last night
when informed that Connie Mack had
drafted liz" Smith for his Athletics.
Duncan IS glad to see the big twirler
get a chance in faster company, for
"liz' is a hard worker and deserv-
ing youngster If ever there was ono.
But Duncan would have liked to keep
Smith in Oklahoma City for another
year Of seasoning He believes he could
have got neat price for Smith at the
end Of the 1917 season. and knows,
moreover, that Smith would have been
a mainStay for an Oklahoma City
pitching staff regardless whether il
was on a class d or class B club.
Lucky to Go to Mack.
In going TO Connie Mack Liz" IS
indeed fortunate The crafty Quaker
City boss is certainly the man to re-
move the rough edges from Smith and
round him into fine pitcher With
big league training and big league
catchers to work him Smith has an ex.
cellent chance to make good in the big
show Al any rate, he probably will
not play in lower than class AA next
year. for if h, is too rough for the
Athletics he probably will be shipped

ternational league club for seasoning.

Naylor of McAlester. Heatly Of Tulsa
and Carmichael OF Paris also are
slated to 60 to the big leagues for
trial as the result of the drafts yester-
day. OF this 10, j, is the belief OF the
writer that Smith has by far the best
chance TO make good He possesses
th, natural pitching ability, has worlds
OF speed good control and a varied as
sortment OF curves The rest OF it can
be taught him.
