NOTORIOUS BANDIT,
|. ED LOCKHART, IS
KILLED BY POSSE

TULSA, Okla, March 26.-Ed
Lockhart, notorious bandit and bank
robber, was shot and killed in a gun
fight early today with Sheriff Bob
Sanford, of Tulsa county, and six
deputies, six miles west Of Sperry,
Oklahoma.
Receiving a tip that Lockhart was
in a. house on the Fred Walker
farm, the sheriff and his party sur
rounded the place just at daybreak,
Mont Grady, of Mpskogee, q spe'
cial officer, knocked at the front
door.
The door flew open and Lockhart
covered him with a rifle, command
ing him to stick 'em up.
Grady complied, and Lockhart
took the officers revolver.
Jack Quasi, deputy sheriff, en-.
tered the house from the rear, and
as he came upon Lockhart and
Grady, the bandit thrust Grady in
front of him, finally backing out
of the house, and striking for the
timber, still using the officer as a
shield.
AS he neared the edge Of the clear
ing about the house, he fired at
Sheriff Sanford.
Deputies, who had circled about
Lockhart and Grady, then opened
fire.
Grady whirled seized his own re-
volver, which was in Lockhart's
pocket and without removing it
from the others clothing, fired
once, the bullet entering Lockhart s
bo7v from the back, below the kid
naY.
Lockhaft fell with the words,
"you have killed me-" on his lips,
and died with his boots on"
The death of Lockhart brings to
an end the career of what peace Of
ficers described as the big three"
of oklahoma outlaWry. Henry
Starr and Al Spencer, with whom
Lockhart was alleged to have beer
closely associated in many acts Of
brigandage in Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, also died from the bullets
of officers guns, and all within
comparatively short span.

gates. but the ones appointed either
got out and worked personally or
contributed substantially to the Nc
Adoo campaign fund.-" MI. Randolph
declared.
1t was the policy to appoint wom-
en- delegates in proportion to their
vote in the recent primary, which
was about so per cent, but in coun-
ties where there were only two dele
gates authorized, one woman and
one man was appointed, giving the
women Il fifty per cent representa-
ton.
Women Almost Unanimous
'The women were almost unani-
mousIy for Mr.. McAdoo, because of
his activity in behalf of Womans
suffrage and child labor laws, and
the recognition was deserved" Ran
dolph stated.
1t is understood that Miller S.
Bell, of Milledgeville, manager Of the
McAdoo campaign headquarters, will
be chairman of the convention, &C.
cording to the custom of making the
campaign director chairman of the
convention at which the friends Of
the successful candidate assemble.
The convention hall has not been
selected, but was left to the choice
of G. E. Maddox, of Rome, and Mrs.
Bessie Anderson, of Atlanta, chair
man and secretary of the state COM
mittee, when the subcommittee in
charge of the arrangements discov-
cred that the city auditorium will be
in use for grand opera on April %.
Mrs. Anderson stated Tuesday that
the Atlanta theater is under consider
alton, but no arrangements have
been made, and it is not known that
the theater can be secured.
The law forbids the use Of the
state capitol for political meetings,
and several chaurches with large au-
ditoriums have rules against their
use for political meetings. The pri-
mary date falls on Wednesday, when
there IS no matinee at the Lyric
theater and that auditorium is also
under consideration.
Mrs. Edgar Alexander, chairman
