BATTLERS* BLOODY BATTLE.
Ed Mays and Charlie k a hoe Engage
8n the Bloodiest Fight of the
Season—Ed Knocked Out—
Controversy Over Work.
Near the First National bank
building this morning (Wednesday,
•Ian. 10, 1917) a bloody battle was en-
gaged in between Edgar Mays and
Charlie Kahoe. Opinions are unani-
mous that both gladiators got in
some telling licks, for both the
pugilists were a mass of bruises and
covered with blood when the battle
ended. Mays seemed to have the best
of the fight at first, it is said, but
finally Charlie got in a lick on the
i point of Edgar's chin which knocked
I the latter out and forced him to take
I the count. After the battle, the
pugilists washed up and went to work
and the trouble is probably over.
The trouble arose over a con-
troversy about some work on the
Masonic Temple building. Mr. Kahoe1
has the contract for the brick and
stone work, and Edgar has been
working for him. Last night, Mays
was discharged, and after brooding
i over it all night, came down this
morning and initiated the fight with
Kahoe when he met him at the scene
j of the affair. One word brought on
I another, and the battle was on.
There was a report that Mays was
badly hurt and liable to die, but it
was erroneous. He is up and around,
and working on the Pierson buildings
on West Main.

HENRY MEYER'S FORD STOLEN
Some scoundrel without the fear
of God or man or the law or Henry'
Meyer in his heart, stole Henry's
Ford this morning about 3 o'clock,!,
and no trace of the machine or thief
lias yet been found. It was a bold
piece of business. The Ford was at
the Meyer residence on South Peters, I.
close up tb the house. The thief or .
thieves pushed it out onto the side-! •
walk and from there up to the paved ! ■
street. Henry heard a noise and got ■
up, and from the front door saw them 1'
cranking up the machine—and away ■
they went. He gave the alarm, and he ! •
Clifton Meyer at once got an-;"
and
other machine and went to Oklahoma
City, but without getting any trace. ■ "i*
Henry also lost half a hog from his j *{*
back porch, Monday night, and it is' j*
thought the thief came back after the T
Ford to carry away the pork. Henry's V
friends are taking up a collection to
reimburse him, and liberal amounts
are being contributed.

NOTICE.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
At the meeting of the city council
last night the re-assessing ordinance
on the paving district of Main street
was passed unanimously. Under its
provisions first payment will be due
Sept. 1, 1917, and for ten years there-
after at 7r/r. Property owners desir-
ing to pay all at once can do so for
the first .'10 days and get 2r/( dis-
count.
The salary ordinance was tabled,
but will come up again. It provided
for a salary of $(500 for the mayor,
who is to be "city manager" and ap-
point all other officers subject to
confirmation by the council. No sal-
( aries were fixed for other officers,
i that being left for future considera-
; tion.
1 An anti-soliciting ordinance was
passed, prohibiting agents soliciting
• orders for groceries, etc., unless they
! ad a "health certificate" and they
! must have such certificate every day
solicit. Certificates will cost $f>
per day, which will probably cut,
down the number of agents and
solicitors to the minimum.
