KENNEDY DEAD
Whiskey gets men into dif-
ficulty.
Last Monday, Fred Kennedy and
his brother, R. D. Kennedy, of the
Etowah neighborhood came to Nor-
man to do some trading intending to
return home Tuesday. Soon after
coming to town they began patroniz-
ing saloons and Monday night were
considerably under the influence of
liquor. Tuesday morning they did
their trading patronizing saloons a-
long at Intervals. After dinner they
hitched up their wagon to start home.
They drove up the alley in the rear
of R. C.Berry's store and loaded gro-
ceries into the wagon, leaving the
team standing in the alley for two or
three hours. The alley is narrow and
was muddy and the team was much in
the way of delivery wagons and other
parties seeking to load groceries at
the rear of the store. The length of
time team and wagon was left stand-
ing seemingly without cause in the
alley natura'ly irritated the men
whose business required them to use
the alley, and when the Kennedys
returned to the wagon, True Lock,
driver of Berry's delivery wagon, re-
quested Kennedy to move the team.
This seemed to irritate Kennedy and
brought on a few hot words. A little
later Wm. Bumgarner, who was a
clerk in Berry's store and was loading
groceries in a wagon, requested Ken
nedy to move his team and wagon,
saying, "You have let that team
stand there all afternoon," Mr.
Kennedy, resented this remark by
calling Bumgarner a " liar."
This remark caused Bumgarner to
open fight at once and the two men
went Into a mix up both falling a-
gainst the wagon wheel and struggl-
ing away from the wagon again fell
against a platform. The men were
separated by bystanders, both look-
ing badly battered and bleeding free-
ly. Mr. Kennedy, got in his wagon
and started home with his brother
but had gone only a short distance
when Night Watchman Bureh, ar-
rested him and brought him back to
Police Court and the trial was put
off until Wednesday morning. In the
morning Kennedy, wai unconscious
and died Wednesday afternoon. His
skull had been fractured In several
places. Mr. Bumgarner was lodged
in jail and a Corner's Jury empanell-
ed and as we go to press an invest!•
gation and autopsy on the body is
In progress. One man dead and a
wife and a two year old child left to
mourn and the other man in jail and
his family in distress because of the
trouble the husband is into and all
because of whiskey. Fred Kennedy,
was only 26 years of age and a young
man bearing a good reputation and
Mr. Bumgarner, wholly unexpectedly
was drawn In to the difficulty and
without any ill will towards Mr. Ken-
nedy. Had Mr, Kenndy not been
drinking no trouble between the men
would have occurred. It is the old
story. Whiskey in one man reach-
ing out and drawing innocent men
into trouble. You may let whiskey
alone; but it won't let you alone.
Whiskey in one man's stomach is a
menace to other men he m*y be
mingling with in the daily walks of
life.

ALMOST SPRING
CLEANING TIME
AND THE
Hold Their Regular Annual
Meeting.
At the annual meeting of the Okla-
homa Farm Mortgage Co., held on
Tuesday last,the olllcerselected were:
President, Andrew Kingkade; vice-
president, Geo.W. Carson; treasurer,
Ross Crandell; secretary and assist-
ant treasurer, H. P. Doughty; assist-
ant secretary, A. Martin Kingkade;
A. McDaniel, the former vice-presi-
dent retiring.
The report of the secretary on the
past year's business was a most ex-
cellent one. It has been the very best
year in the history of the company,
and in every respect its bus iness has
been most satisfactory. It is not say-
ing too much to state that the Okla-
homa Farm Mortgage Co , is now rec-
ognized as the leading company of its
kind in the new state of Oklahoma,
and It has been made such by strict
application to business, giving a
"square deal" to its customers in ev-
ery respect, living up squarely to its
representations and meeting every
obligation' promptly. Its circle of
clients in the east continually grows,
and now comprises some of the strong-
est and best financial institutions of
the country. Another feature that
has made the company especially suc-
cessful, Is the fact that every man
connected with it is a first class judge
of Oklahoma lands in every part of
the state, thoroughly reliable in his
representations to eastern investors
concerning them, and their loans are
therefore desirable and absolutely
safe.
The treasurer, Ross Crandell, will
continue in charge of the Mangum of-
fice. He is one of the substantial
men of the firm. The assistant sec-
retary, A. Martin Kingkade, is a son
of the president, and has grown up
with the business, and proved himself
thorough and competent.
The other officers are the old of-
ficers. Under their careful manage-
ment the Oklahoma Farm Mortgage
company has been brought to what it
is, and the same careful management
will be maintained in the future.
The Oklahoman earnestly hopes 1907
may be the banner year with them.

Convention Notes.
Guthrie, Okla
JAN. 23, 1907.
The Convention's sixty days are
passed without even the foundation
of the constitution being established.
Most of the casual visitors in the
City Hall galleries,become disappoint-
ed and disgusted at the many unbe-
coming acrobatic performances of
of the star actors.
The aggregation's hired men are
wondering from whence their pay
will come from after Filson ceases to
be their paymaster.
It is Baid that the Jim Crow car
question will be tackled in near, fut-
ure, and then the squattting commit-
tee of taming the African lion will
report.
Col. Francis, the simon pure Demo
cratic editor of the Roger Mills Dem-
ocrat, says that most of the voters of
his county will vote against the docu-
ments the 100 democrats are trying
to fabricate.
The two bosses of the Convention,
Haskell and Murray, make more dis-
turbance than auy and all the other
persons inside and outside the railing
of the arena.
The chief officers of the Farmers'
Union express themselves as being
greatly displeased with the non-action
and subsmissive spirit of the forty
delegates that are members of the
convention.
Delegate Henry E. Asp can not be
blamed for shirking bis official duties.
He has always been promptly in his
seat, ready to help make the Organic
Law, and he often reminded the other
delegates that, "We are sent here to
make a good constitution; now let us
go ahead with our work."
Editor Perkins alias the African
lion never even peeped at the animals
inside the menagerie.
Alfalfa Bill, the rough dictator in
Convention hall, caused a moblike
disturbance on last Saturday by order-
ing the two muscular sergents-at-
arms to remove octogenarian Capt.
Seeley from thp east gallery.
Eccentric Caudle treated the
gang to an extra vitriolic open cur-
tain lecture on tobacco smoking. He
told the members that he was not a
sausage that needed smoking in a
pestiferous smoke house.
The criminal neglect of properly
ventilating the hall finally gave
birth to a "convention board of
health who must see that the mem-
bers be sometimes treated to some
fresh air while working for the peo-
ple.
The often threshed little preamble
will be again thrown on the conven-
tion threshing floor to be threshed a
little more and more.
"Gloomy Gus Ledbetter" talk's al-
ways put the listeners in an ice-box,
but ICornegay generally manages to
thaw them out with genial witicisms
It is not very flattering to the in-
telligence of the twin territories
that a majority of the 112 are mere
cy phers.
Some of the members say that they
will depart for their homes before
ground hog day while others swear
they will remain until the constitu-
tion making job is completed.
It is reported that many red hot
"vote down the thing" club* are be-
ing formed in the butchered, carved
and gashed counties.
Delegate Hopkins, officiates as the
vigilant watchdog of the convention
rules. Hopkins seldom neglects his
special avocation.
Indian Charley Frye's rockets al-
ways hit the mark.
It is hinted that the pesky strong
drink question will come on the con-
vention carpet as soon as chief pilot
Carrie Nation returns to the city on
the sluggish Cottonwood.
Delegate Tenor, one of the young-
est members,is bright but lacks some
of Alfalfa Bill's gall
Mr. Hayes, the Chickasha member,
is a fine parliamentarian and he
should have been elected president
of the 112.
Delegates Baker, Kornegay, Rose
and Weaver are not afraid to throw
deserved clubs at the overbearing
squawman
Saloons Burglarized.
Thursday night of last week the
Kennedy and Madden saloons were
brokened into. The till in Kennedy's
relieved of about $7. in cash and
in Madden's about $12. The amount
of wet goods taken not known. The
burglars entered through back doors
of the saloons.

tune to tip his wagon oyer, resulting
