boches too-very much alive.
Browns automatic rifle had be-

arm and opened fire on the trench,
killing several of its occupants.

"All right, come out" Brown re-
Piled, between shots. All of the
Germans, numbering nearly hum
drcd. dropped their guns and sur
rendered.
Brown and Pipp again started for
the rear and encountered other
members of their platoon with pris-
oners. Brown took charge of them
all. The wood where Brown and the
others had been fighting, was be-
ing shelled continuously. Once
Brown and Pipp were surrounded,
but they fought their way out with
their automatic rifles.
At the edge OF the wood. Browns
companions left him to get some
more Heinies," and he herded his
prisoners along shell-pittcd road to-
ward the rear still clutching his trus-
ty automatic.
Arriving at headquarters Brown
made an accurate count of his bag
for the first time. There was lS9 of
them, including major, captain
and two lieutenants. The sergeant
assured the commander he had a
receipt" and turned over pistol
and a pair of wire cutters he had
taken from the major.
Brown had narrowly escaped
death number of times. as his
uniform was torn with bullets Ear

shot from his back by shrapnel.

railroad then building into Ardmore.
In the following year he moved his
family here from Texas and since
that time has been one OF the lead
ing citizens of Ardmore.
He has always been a public spir-
tied man, taking the lead in all
things pertaining to his home town
and county. Before there was an
Oklahoma state in the old days OF
Indian Territory he was chairman
of the territory Democratic central
committee, striving to secure tor
the people the best they could OBJ
tain through long range govern
ment.
He was the first mayor OF Ard
more serving about year, or until
the town was organized as a city.
Later he was elected for six CON
secutive terms as police judge OF
Ardmore, in which office he won
thousands of friends through his
fair and just decisions. His findings
were always tempered with that
broad charity and liberality which
is a strong part of his character.
He is a Confederate veteran and
for four years he was superintend-
cnt of the Confederate Home, and
his conduct Of that institution was
such as to bring to him the com
mendation of all the people and the
lasting friendship of the inmates.
Judge Gait is not inexperienced
in the work of legislation, having
served in the eighteenth legislature
of Texas, being elected from the
Mineola district. His service there
was marked by most able work and
there are men living in Carter coun-
ty today who knew him then and
will support him in this campaign.
Judge Gait has served many years
in public life, but at the same time,
through an extensive business
career, he has been in close touch
with this part of Indian Territory,
and no man in Carter county knows
the present conditions better than
he does. His industry, inherent hon
esty, charity and liberality, have
caused him to be recognized as a
citizen OF the highest standing, one
of those whom the people delight to
honor. His friends are limited only
to the number of his acquaintance
and they predict for him in the com
ing primary one of the largest votes
ever polled in Carter county.

After killing or capturing the crews
of four machine guns and raking a

walked into American headquarters
late Yesterday with l59 prisoners.

The fighting in the fields and
woods in the present battle OF the
Marine is most unusual. Companies,
platoons and even groups of two or
three men are waging their own
warfare in clearing out the boches.
Sergeant J. f. Brown, separated
from his platoon, encountered the
captain of another company. Point
ing at four enemy machine guns,
the captain said

The pair charged the nests, seem
ingly impervious to the hail of bull
cts, and killed or captured the crews
of two of the guns. The prisoners
were in their way, so Brown turned
them over to the captain and cleaned
up the other two guns alone taking
additional prisoners and smashing
the pieces.
The captain had started back to
to the American lines with his cap
tives.
Brown followed some distance in
his wake. The sergeant encountered
comrade, Corporal Pipp, who vol

1916 but charged Murray with being
"squawman," and accusing him OF
not having paid his taxes on his In
dian lands and having abandoned
the name that his mother gave him.
This last is merely a shallow refer
ence to the fact that he, Murray
and his friends, famililarly refer to
him as Alfalfa Bill Murray. AS to
the taxes, Mr.. Murray exhibited a
certificate from the treasurer OF
Johnston county, his home county.
to prove that he had paid taxes on
his Indian lands since statehood,
1907.
Mr.. Murray came here from Mi
ami. Last week he visited Checo-
tab, Spiro, Sallisaw, Fort Gibson,
Stillwell, Fairland and Miami. In
all these localities the fight is be-
tween Murray and Robertson, with
Murray the favorite for the most
part except in Miami where Alexan-
der is very strong.
