A Remarkable Man.
General Barry was in every sense
a remarkable man. AS rigid as an
ancient t~askmaster, as positive as
truth, and yet as sympathetic as a
child, General Barry had a way of
dominating large situations without
domineering. Perhaps, by more than
any other group will the general be
missed by the Colored officers and

Negro, Charged With Shooting
Policeman Howard Must An
swer to District Court; Of
ficer Tells Of Gun Fight

Before Justice NJ. e. Bunnell, the
preliminary hearing Of Lon High
tower, negro, charged with assault
with intent to kill, was held, result
ing in the defendant being held sub
ject to the action of the district court
under a bond of $1,000
The trial was the outgrowth of a
shooting match that occurred in
south town on the night Of Septem-
ber 20 in which Policeman Howard
was shot in the side. The evidence
taken was Of a very brief nature.
Policeman Howard stated on the
stand that he was patrolling his
beat when he saw Hightower in
front Of him, walking in the direc-
ton he (HowarO was going. The
witness said that he thought high
tower was carrying something under
his arm and called to him, Wait a
minute
Hightower whirled and fired two
shots at him before he pulled his
gun, the policeman said. Several
shots were exchanged and the negro
escaped into the darkness. Other
officers were summoned and a rigid
search made for the black with no
success. Hightower remained in
hiding for about 10 days before he
was located at the home of his moth
er and arrested.
The defense put on the stand Hen
ry Blacknall, a negro, who stated
that he was in house across the
street from the policeman and High
tower when the shooting started.
He could not see the guns, but from
the smoke he thought the police
man shot first, the witness testi-
fled.
At noon today, Hightower had not
made bond. His preliminary hear
ings in various cases have been
heard and he has already made
bonds to the amount Of several thous-
and dollars.

TO START MONDAY
Committees Will Go Over Terri
tory Again; Advisory Com
mittee to Canvass Returns;
Asked to Raise Purchase

Grady county has knocked 'em cold
in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive,
has eliminated the Germ from Ger
man, shot the prop out of propaganda
and has otherwise gone over the
top.
The fact was learned at county
Liberty Loan headquarters when the
totals on reports received to date
were made. Not only that but Gra-
dy county has some $4,000 to the
good The quota for the county,
in the e9ee of draath conditions, was
cut to $129,0OO. To date, the records
in the hands of County Chaiman
Slusher show that the people of
Grady have kicked in with $153,O5O
and are still kicking.
Chickasha Some Shy
Outside the railroad employees sub
scription in the city, Chickasha is a
little behind the established quota.
This figure was placed at an even
100000 that the loan workers ex-
pected to corral At this time $685.
$50 is the total subscriptions for
the city, outside of the railroads The
railroads, including the Rock Island,
Frisco and Santa re, show final sub
scriptions to the amount of $4,000
The reports from the county, out
side of Chickasha are to date snip
ing In other words, picking off
the subscriptions missed in the first
drive over the town. 1t is the hope
of NJ. E. Humphrey, city chairman,
that the full total of 100000 will
be subscribed in Chickasha by night
County Reports Coming
From various sections of the coun-
ty, full reports have not been re-
ceived by the county chairman, but
indications are that when the final
count is made, the present county
figures will be swelled materially.
Some of the county districts, hard
est hit by the drouth have been a
little slow about coming in with
their reports" said Comfy Chairman
slusher this morning.
Il do not doubt that they will
complete their quotas, however. 1t
is my belief that they will prove to
be just as patriotic as any section
in the entire country, in proportion
with their means. l am very well |
satisfied with the results of the cam
paign thus far, as a whole. 1t shows !
that the Grady county people are |
