n BAD FIRE

Sublette has again suffered bal
loss by fire. Saturday morning
about two o'clock T. o. Pound no
ticed bright light in his back yart
and upon investigation he discovered
the general merchandise store of G
A. Tyler on fire. He at once gave
the alarm and soon good many PEG.
pie had gathered at the scene Of the
fire. A window was broken in and
quite a few things were gotten out
among them the cash register and
bill file, which saved b large number
of bills, some dry goods and shoes
being among the salvage. They also
got out IL or 20 sacks of flour and
some of the. contents of the cream
house.
Most of the ffice furniture from
Frank McCoy's real estate office was
saved. Dishes, bedding and clothing
stored in back room, we're destroy
ed. Also some goods belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Baker stored in
the building was burned. The sec
ond story of the store building, own
ed by the Odd Fellows, and occupied
by them and the Rebekahs, the Mas
ons and the Eastern Star, was total
loss except the Masonic records,
which were in small safe, but came
through in fairly good condition, ex-
cept that the binding was cooked.
All the paraphernalia of all the
lodges is gone. The band has been
using the room for a few weeks for
practice and they lost the bass drum
and large horn belonging to VIM.
Van Metre that he had brought from
Indiana with him many years ago.
The store building belonged to o.
L. Brinley and the second story to
the Odd Fellows, and the loss was be-
tween 5000 and $4,000, with $500
insurance. The real estate office
belonged to Uncle Jim Wallace and
was valued at $1,000 and was insured
for $500.
Frank Mccoy carried $4,000 insur-
ance, which will probably cover his
loss. G. A. Tyler carried about &c.
900 worth Of merchandise, with ST.
900 insurance.
The building will be rebuilt In the
spring, if not sooner, using tile and
brick in the construction.

RATTLESNAKE WAS
COLORADO TOURIST

WOUNDED MAN DIED

G. P. Murphy, who was shot in
Hooker on Saturday evening, Nov. II
by Night Waterman Kuhn, died on
Thursday night, Nov. 18th and while
the circumstances surrounding his
death are sad, no blame is attached to
the night Waterman, for it is general
ly conceded he fired in self defense. 1t
is reported that the deceased deeply
refiretted his aggressiveness on the
night of the tragedy, as well as other
occasions and that when lying wound
ed he even refused to take intoxi-
cants, which he had come to realize,
had been responsible for much Of his
trouble. The Tribune editor had
known "Murph" as he was called by
his friends, for many years. Natur-
ally there is tinge of regret over
his death, the manner of his going,
and the causes that lead thereto, but
"Murph" played the game of life from
the wrong angle and went the route
consistently that always leads to
trials and tribulations, and very Oft
en- bad endings. Sorry, yes, of course
we are, and so is every other man
and woman who reflects deeply on
the recent tragedy. We hope those
who knew ''Murph," even those who
might not have liked him, will not
speak disparagingly of his memory

LAND MAY HAVE
Water FROM THE
WASHITA RIVER
Claim Is Made That Flow Is
Sufficient to lrrigate
a Considerable
Section.

There is water enoLgh in the Dashita
river at every season Of the year to ir-
rigate a large territory if properly i'm
moulded and d'tchcl, according to an
-.,mate by compc cnt eng who
has locked the i5l1tor ever since the
irrigation lro. eet haS come up for dis
cussion,
The question Of daming the Washita
river for power purposes has been un'
der consideration several times within
the past few years, and while James A.
Cotner was mayor Of the city, a survey
was made and engineers stimates Sc
cured in this tentative project.
Nothing ever developed however, but
Mr Cotner the last time he was here
from New York stated that it was a par
ticular dream of his to see this propo-
sition bear fruit.
The original plan never contemplated
an irrigation project, but was for COM
mercial purposes only, the engineer who
drew the plans ana made the survey,
showed those interested where power
enough could he developed to furnish
all this territory and part of north
Texas with electric power.
Since the irrigation project has been
under consideration By the Chamber
of Commerce, the Washita river has
again come to the fore, both for the
purpose proposed and for the power that
may eventually. be developed there.

The serious features OF the American
Legion convention at New Orleans were
very well covered by the Associated
Press dispatches which appeared in the
Daily Ardmoreite during the last week
and for that reason it is not necessary
for the writer to repeat these items OF
interest. OF the notables who attended
the meet Judge Lands was beyond
doubt the most popular with the veter.
ans, due chiefly to his sociable nature
and the manner in which he conducted
himself with the boys. 1t was frequent
sight to see the mogul of baseball and
the famous ex-Jurist being carried
through hotel lobbies and streets of the
city on the shoulders of the eX-service
men. on one particular occasion he
marched through the thoroughfares Of
the city with q group Of veterans who
represented q legion post from Lands
home town. The judge mingled with
the boys in the true sense Of the word,
and seldom did he ride when he was
accompanied by the "buddies." His
address at one Of the sessions of the
convention was Of a very stirring char
acter.
Work Causes Election
The election of Owsley of Texas to tho
coveted position of national commander
is believed was resultant chiefly because
OF the great work which he has been
doing as head Of the Americanization
commission of the legion. Although
owsley was very wellknown in legion
circles during the past year, he won the
admiration and recognition Of his COM
rades in a most intimate manner dur
| ing one OF the convention sessions when
he delivered an Grafton on Americansim
which drew round after round OF ap.
plause from the delegates and visitors
and was voiced as one Of the most
appealing and patriotic speeches ever
delivered.
The Oklahoma delegation made fine
presentation at New orleans. The vari.
colored feathered head.gear OF the Soon
er state was IN evidence in all quarters
and was perhaps the most conspicuouse
icnsignia worn. In the parade, the Okla
/ homans received rounds Of applause foI
the military manner In which they
marched and the spirit OF good fellow
ship which they showed in apprecia
ton Of the efforts OF the citizens OF
the city. The Ardmore post was the
leader in oklahoma activities.
