SHOT SUNDAY
Shot by J. Cal IIousli at Oklahoma
City. Housh Kills Self
and Wife Also
Patrick Sampier, a former citizen
! <>f Lexington, was killed Monday
njgtit at Oklahoma City about nine
••o'clock by .T. Cal IIousli. Housh
first shot his wife, whawas standing
\ with Sampier on the corner waiting
for a street car, and when Sampier
J turned to see from whence.,the shot
(\vas fired, llousjh shot him. He
then turned the revolver to his own
head, blowing his brains over the
pavement.
Mrs. Hayes and her husband|who
were with the two killed, fled at the
firgt shot and escaped uninjured.
Marital troubles seem to have
arisen between Housh and his wife
and he had threatened to kill both
she and Sampier, who went' under
the name of Jack Patton.
The body was brought to Lex-
ington Tuesday night and burial
was made Thursday afternoon in
the Lexington cemetery. The fun-
' eral services was conducted by Rev.
H. Everett.
! Mr. Sampier was marshal .of Lex-
I ington some years ago. He made
! a good officer and while serving in
j that capacity, the town was under
his control. He has many friends
here who regret his awful death.
Bonnie Peters is quite seripusly
ill at her home on east Broadway.
She is suffering from tvphoid fever
and her many friends will lie glad
to hear of any change for the better
in her condition.

Business Conditions Opening Up.
Much Cotton Coming
In Every Day
'Busiiu : s conditions in Lexington j
are looming up, better every day.
Not only on Saturday but on week
days an well, the streets are well
filled with farmers hinging in cot-
ton—gond cotton, hay and other
products.
Fall business is opening up very
brisk because of the good crops
raised in this part of the county
and real estate is beginning to take
I on new life.
Several new homes have been
built during the summer and many
more will be built before the first
of the year.
The merchants, have filled their
stores with the best the market af-
ford and the farmers will be given
the advantage of several choice
bargains. Goods of quality will be
sold at prices suitable to the farmer.
The bank deposits are in a sub-
stancial condition and are increas-
ing every day.
Rumor? of new business enter-
prises have come to us lately and
with the completion of the Pureell-
Lexington wagon bridge, vacant
buildings will soon be filled.
No better cotton crop can be
found than that grown in the im-
mediate vicinity of Lexington.
This section has been particularly
favored this year and several fields
will yield almost a bale to the acre.
A!! of vnflcli goes ti. show that we
are living in the garden spot of
Cleveland county.
