As the Transcript goes to press
news comes that at the A. M. Chani-
peau sale on Route 5 at about 2:00 p.
m., Laney Reed shot and probably
fatally 'wounded Will Bumgarner,
well known citizen of Norman. When
Auctioneer Graves left the scene of
the tragedy this afternoon about 3:00
o'clock, Mr. Bumgurner was still
alive, but no hopes that he could re-
cover were entertained. Reed gave
himself up to Graves, and the latter
turned him over to the officers. He is
now in the county jail.
Sheriff Pickard, Justice Linton and
ex-Sheriff Downing w^nt to the
Champeau place at 3. o'clock, to hold
an inquest in the event Mr. Bumgar-
ner dies.
No words passed between the men
as far as can be learned. They met
in the Champeau yard, and Reed pull-
ed his g«n and began shooting,
emptying his revolver into the body
of his victim.
Reed formery lived in the Denver
neighborhood, but has been at Ed-
mond for some time. It is thought
there was an old grudge between the
men. He is non-committal concerning
the causes that led to the shooting.
FOR THE LITTLE GIRLS

worth $6 to $7. Special for $3.95.

ODD BITS OF NEWS.
New York.—Dr. Wright, the emi-
nent sociologist, has created a sensa-
tion by showing the increasing quan-
tities of opium that are being con-
sumed in the United States. He de-
clares that the annual requirement
for legitimate medical and other pur-
poses is 60,000 pounds, but that last
year more than 480,000 pounds were
brought into this country. "The use
of cocaine, opium and other drugs is,
I regret to say, largely on the increase
in the United States," said Dr.
Wright, "especially is this true of
localities where the sale of liquor has
been prohibited."
REV. OWNBEY BACK TO NORMAN
The Rev. R. L. Ownbey was re-
turned as pastor of the Norman M. E.
Church, South, by the West Oklahoma
Conference in session at Chickasha,
which closed Sunday night with the
reading of the appointments. Mem-
bers of the church and congregation
and the community are delighted he
has been sent back for his fourth year,
for his work has been most excellent.
. Other appointments of local interest
are:
Rev. R. E. L. Morgan, who has
been presiding elder of the Oklahoma
City district for the past year, goes
as pastor of the Mangum church for
the coming year. Mangum is an ex-
cellent charge, something like Nor-
man. Rev. W. M. Wilson, from the the life of the Civic Committee is
East Oklahoma Conference, succeeds filled with pleasure, in anticipation of
him as presiding elder of the Oklaho- . the coming beauty of our city.
Heretofore the Orpheum
and University theatres on
Monday night have both
run the "Trey 'O Hearts.
Tonight there will be an en-
tirely different program at
the Orpheum and the "Trey
'O Hearts" will be run only
at the University Theatre.

The meetings held by the Y. M. C.
A/yesterday afternoon at University
Chapel and last night at the Chris-
tian church, are said to have been
most enjoyable and interesting.
"Bennie" Owen made one of his
characteristic talks at the chapel,
which was received with enthusiasm.
It was along lines of clean living,
clean acting and clean thinking in
every walk of life. At night a splendid
audience greeted Dr. Trawick at the
First Christian church.

Mr. Ralph Whitehead, well known
as Oklahoma's foremost dancing in-
structor, came to Norman Saturday
afternoon and gave a demonstration
of the modern dances. Davis Hall
was crowded to its full capacity and
all those who witnessed the dancers
were profuse in their praise of the
excellent ability displayed on the
part of Miss Fronie Asher, who was
Mr. Whitehead's dancing partner.
Miss Asher is a Norman girl and cer-
tainly reflects credit on her instructor,
Mr. Whitehead.
The following dances were demon-
strated :
One-step.
Hesitation Waltz.
Castle Polka.
Waltz Canter.
The Maxixe.
^tr. Whitehead offered to organize
a class here for the instruction of the
new dances at six dollars each person
for twelve lessons and it is said he is
certain to enroll a large number of
pupils.
Miss Asher has the enrollment of
the pupils in charge and can be found
at 686 Asp avenue, phone 524.
