SHOOTING FATAL
 TO NOLAN

Tom Nolan, who was shot yesterday at the Bratton Mill by William Woods, died about 3 :15 D. m., at the Park San itarium as a result of his wounds.
 Woods arrived in the city immediate ly after the shooting, surrendering to Sheriff Steele who at once phoned to Hampstead county officers of tn etrag- edy.
 Sheriff Steele took Woods to Hope yesterday afternoon in an automobile and turned him over to the sheriff of Hampstead, in which county the shoot ing occurred.
 Woods and Nolan were neighbors, and apparently good friends it is said, until the dispute arose yesterday over some stave bolts, which resulted in the fatal shooting.
 Woods is about 45 years old while Nolan maybe ten years younger, They both have families. and the sad affair is most regretable.

 Ithink the method you have on foot of the getting together of the rep resentatives of the business interests of our city will have quite a good deal to do with the promotion and welfare of the city. We are living in a time of progress and advertising is neces- sary. am reminded of chimney cor ner scripture-not in the Bible, howev- err which reads: Blessed be he who tooteth his own horn." So I think that as has been suggested, one of the wis., est steps you could take with respect to the oil industry is to begin to adver- rise your own immediate territory in- asmuch as we are encompassed on every hand by test oil wells, certainly this would be the logical center of that industry instead of Hope, it seems to me. I am glad to be present with you this evening and am in hearty accord will all of your interests-anything that works for the progress and busi- ness welfare of our city"
