FREE SPRINGS.

Although Free Springs is live and
progressive community it has not
been heard from in some time. How
ever, we hope to do better by it in
the future.
The last week of warm weather has
enabled the farmers to make good
start toward working out their crops
and crushing some of the clods caused
by the cold and wet weather.
Work is being pushed on the new
concrete church at Free Springs,
which will be one of the most beauti-
full country churches in this section
of the State, when completed.
This year Free Springs has one of
the best base ball clubs in its history,
and so far, has not been beaten. They
have just completed series of four
games with the fast and snappy Lux
ahoma club and winning all four
games by good margin. The last
two games were played as a double
header Saturday, May 21. The fea-
ture of the lrst game was the pitch
ing of Elmore, Southpaw who grad
uated from College Hill this year
and the catching of Howell. Elmore
pitched air tight ball, striking out
eight of Luxahoma's heavy batters.
Battery for Luxahoma was Brodie,
Billingsley, formerly of the Delta
league, and Corbett. The second
game was g. batting contest in which
the heavy hitting team of Free
Springs came out in the lead, IL to

However, they did not relax their
vigilance and it was stated that every
thing was in readiness to handle a
grave situation should one arise again.
No accurate check of the dead had
been made at late hour and unoffi-
cial estimates ran from the known list
of ten whites and 70 negroes dead,
according to an opinion of Polire In
spector Charles Daley, second in COM
mand of the police force, that the list
would reach ITS dead.
The exact total, officers said would
probably never be known as number
of negroes perished in the flames
which consumed the entire negro dis
trict which formerly housed about
$4,000 negroes, including women and
children.
Situation Under Control

said tonight. "We do not anticipate
any further rioting," he added, cal
though nothing has been overlooked
as precaution against it's recurrence.
With Tulsa under martial law we ex-

conditions"
Hottest Engagement Of the Day
One of the hottest engagements OF
the day took place in a negro church
where about fifty negroes had bar
ricaded themselves prepared to resist
the onslaught of the white crowd.
Several massed attacks were
launched against the church but each
time the attackers had to fall back
under the fire of the negro defenders.
Finally torch was applied to. the
building and the occupants began to
pour out firing as they ran. Several
negroes were killed.

PLANE CRASH
nI" HAH1H -
FATAL TO SEVEN
Five Officers, Two Civilians Killed,
No Survivor Left to Tell Story of
Plane Disaster.


/ Washington, May 30.-Army officers
were preparing today for an of
fetal investigation Of the crash dur
ing {. storm late Saturday near Indian
Head, Nd, of the ambulance airplane
in which seven men, five army officers
and two civilians, met death.
/ The fact that every occupant of the
machine was killed, making it necess-
ary for g board of inquiry to depend
largely on the observations of distant
eyewitnesses in forming their conclu-
sions, made it appear doubtful that
the exact cause of the disaster could
ever be developed. The officers killed
were:
Lieut.-Col. Archie Miller, who serv-
ed in the Spanish American war;,
Philippine insurrection, where he won
the congressional medal of honor and
in the world war.
Lieut. Stanley M. Ames, who had
been married only about three weeks.
He served in both the Canadian and
American forces overseas and suffer
ed a severe bayonet wound while with
the Canadians. He was regarded as
an expert pilot as we'll as an authority
in aero engineering.
Credited With Two Planes.
Lieut.. Cleveland w. McDermott,
whose home was in Syracuse, N. Y,
was stationed at Langley field. He
served in both the Canadian and AM
crican flying forces and was decorat-
ed by both governments for valor in
the world war. He was officially
credited with bringing down two Ger
nian planes.
Lieut.. John M. Pennewill was sta
toned at Langley field. having re-
Gently been sent there from Kelly
field, Texas, for the aerial bombing
operations to be held next month.
Little was known here of his record.
Sergt. Richard Blumengranz, an
expert mechanic, who was stationed at
Boiling field here.
Maurice Connolly, one of the civ
ilians a native Of Dubuque, Ia, was
sales manager of the Curtiss Airplane
company. He was former congress
man and served in the air service dur
ing the war with the rank of major.
A. G. Batchelder, the other civilian
killed, was former newspaper man
and one of the organizers of the AM
erican Automobile association and
chairman of its board of directors.
He was native of Attica, N. Y.
The plane, a Curtis Eagle, which
had been divested of its ambulance
equipment, was making a return fight
from Langley field, Virginia, to Wash
ington, when it encountered severe
electrical storm, accompanied by
winds estimated to be blowing at 100
miles velocity.
Those who reached the wreck first
found all seven men dead. All the
bodies were closely grouped together,
some badly mutilated by the engine
which had been torn from its bed and
thrown backward, cutting the men
down like a scythe as it ploughed
through the narrow passenger COM
partment of the plane.
