MULE TAKES FRIGHT,
THROWS RIDER A Nd
DRAGS HIM TO DEATH
(Special TO The Ardmorelte)

Milburn, Okla, July 23.-The dead
body of Luther Stephens was found at
8 o'clock Monday morning on the pub
lie highway, about two and onehalf
miles from the Stephens farm and about
the same distance from Mlburn.
The young man had been dragged to
death by mule which he was known
to have been riding. He was recently
discharged from military service and
had been at home for about three
months.
Information thus far obtained shows
that stephens had spent the night in
Milburn, where he and his wife reside;
that he had brought the mule in from
the farm to use in hauling oats to
thresher on Monday; that he had arisen
at 2 O'Clock in the morning to go to the
threshing machine; that he had mount
ed the mule, bareback, using the halter,
with a rope lead-rein, as bride.
The supposition is that the mule
threw the young man and that he be.
came entangled in the rope and was
dragged to death by the frightened an
imal.
When found the rope was wrapped
about the dead mans neck, while the
mule, with the mans body beside 1t,
was standing quietly at the roadside
and seemed perfectly tractable.
Rumors, which at first gained cur
rency, that the young man was the
victim of foul play, are now considered
the concensus of opinion be-
ing that his death was purely accidental

he talked with the American Ace

success with the overseas forces was
due largely to his early training in

FEAST FOLLOWS ARAB FAST
Institution Of the East Much Resern-
hles the Christian Observance
OF lenten Season.

As the Mohammedan year IS a lunar
one, the months rotate through the dif-
ferent seasons. and the fast of RAMA
dan becomes a severe atfllctiun upon
the faithful when the month happens
to fall in the hot days Of summer. The
sick, travellers and soldiers In time of
war are temporarily released from this
duty. as well rs nursing women and
others to whom 1t might prove injuri'
Gus. The fast Is followed by the
feast of Beiram. which was estsbl soed
by Mohammed. who seems to ave
been guided by the Christian inStitu'
ton of Lent. which in the early church
varied from four to six weeks. On this
day every family of the true believers
offers a sheep to God, and the streets
of the cities are tlled with men carry
ing the destined victims on their backs.
Among the Arabs the festival begins
at four In the morning, when great
crowds collect at the residence OF the
nearest pasta or hey, awaiting his np-
pearance In the court Of the palace.
At Ave o'clock his ~hlghneSs enters, ac-
companied by members OF his family
and his staff cannon are fired, the pc
culiar bands OF the East play suitable
airs, and the chief captain announces
that the hour Of sacrifice has arrived,
and that his ~hlghness, after prayer,
will be present at this act. All then
adjourn tc the mosque, and when ire
sacrifice Is over the pasha re-enters
the court, and those Of high rank kiss
his hand the inferior slightly touch.
Ing II with their lips. This occupies
about an hour. when all retire 70 take
coffee, the captain thanking the crowd
for their presence as a mark OF at
tachment to their ruler.
