This excessive hot weather is hailed
by the cold drinks dealer with de-

North Enid has a girl with more
airs than an orchestra when she goes
on the street.
North Enid has no use for telegraph
communication between this and the
government town.
Charlie Hunter, of the South Enid
Eagle, was in the city yesterday talk-
ing politics with tne boys.
Mr. M. L. Cloud returned from El
Reno this morning. He sold his mare,
colt and buggy in that place at a good
figure.

you; not vitality enough about you to

PRESIDENT Of FRANCE ASSASSINATED.
Lyons, June 24.—The most intense
excitement has been caused every-
where in France by what will prob-
ably prove a successful attempt to
assassinate President Carnot.
The president was visiting in Lyons
in connection with the international
exhibition. Upon his arrival here he
was tendered a reception at the pre-
fecture, after which he visited the ex-
hibition. After spending some time
there he proceeded to the Palais de

Them's our predictions.
Mr. Havlicek, the furniture dealer,
has ordered the new furniture for the
Inter Ocean hotel. The house has
been rented to a gentleman from
Kansas.
The Ponca City Courier is soon to
issue a special edition advertising
that town. We'll warrant the paper
will be all that the people over there
could ask for.
The town builders in Round Pond
are getting dirt out of the railroad
yards in North Enid and putting it on
their streets to cover up the sand
which seems to bother them a great
deal.
The Salvation army meetings are
getting more interesting all the time.
The citizens are more generally going
out to hear the workers in the cause
of Christianity and contribute liber-
ally of their means to keep up the
good work.
Mrs. J. E. Johnson, <of Galveston,
Tex., who has been visiting a sister
nearCleo Springs for the past month,
returned home this morning. She
purchased a claim fourteen miles west
of North Enid and will remove her
family there in two or three weeks.
Geo. Wise, a barber, filled himself
up Sunday and made a beastly show
of himself on the avenue yesterday.
His cursing and swearing could be
heard for two blocks, and he wanted
to cut the heart out of somebody.

Mr. Hale said he would enforce the
law if it took all the troops at Ft.
Reno to do it, and says that the people
of the government towns have lost
the sympathy of the government be-
cause of their lawlessness. He says
he has the names of a large number
of those who engaged in the first
wrecking at Round Pond, and the
names of seven prominent citizens of
South Enid who are implicated with
the Round Pond outlaws. Mr. Hale
said that the government towns had
no chance whatever of winning now,
as they have by their outrageous
ignoring of all laws forfeited the
sympathy of the government and of
all fair-minded people.
A barber, formerly located at North
Pond Creek, was arrested this morn-
ing at Medford suspected of being one
of the parties who blew up the bridge
Friday night. Mr. Hale says that
United States warrants will be issued
todav for the arrest of those whom lie
has the names of and that they will
be taken to the federal jail in Guthrie
to await the action of the federal
court. He says it is ridiculous io
think that the government could for a
minute champion towns that haye re-
sorted to such deeds of lawlessness as
have taken place at the government
towns in O and L counties, and that
the laws will be respected if the two
towns have to be wiped out.
Mr. Hale was very indignant and is
at work today with a vim.
One of the councilmen of Round
Pond and a newspaper publisher at
the same place have skipped the
country, and a warrant is out for the
arrest of a young attorney who want-
ed Judge Mackev run out of the
country a short time ago.
A newsdealer in Round Pond was
shot in the thigh in the shooting that
took place in that town Saturday
night, and it is also rumored that one
or two parties are going to '-squeal"
to save themselves.
A party of South Enid men were
followed from Round Pond to South
Enid Friday night, they having driven
through in a wagon and every one of
them was located so that when wanted
they can be got. The names of two
of the party will cause a sensation if
they are arrested and every indication
points that way.

We are informed that South Enid
intends to try to control the county
republican convention and nominate
for probate judge, countyclerk, sheriff
and treasurer, men who live in that
town, giving to the rest of the county

tendent. That shows considerable of

The Eagle does not know the cor-
rectness of your information, Bro.
Whitaker, but for our part we do not
propose to let any one man in this
county, "run by a ring," control the
policies of the republican party if we
can help it. That such an attempt
has been made and is now on foot
there is every reason to believe, else
why do certain candidates for office
take such particular pains to announce
that they do not belong to the ring.
We believe that it is nothing more nor
Being Heard Today.
The mandamus suit of South Enid
against the railroad company, asking
that the Rock Island be compelled to
stop its trains in South Enid, is being
heard today in Guthrie before a full
bench of the supreme court. Sporting
men are betting that the court will ■
dismiss the suit on the grounds of not
having jurisdiction. It seems to be
the best way out of the trouble. The
outlaws of South Enid say that if
that is the result of the case they will
blow the bridge up and fill one of the
cuts in the town full of obstructions.
They are a desperate gang down
there, and it looks now as if the
troops will be called out from Fort

Just at this moment M. Carnot was

Losing: Sympathy.
The contrary fools in South Enid,
in throwing over their shoulder the
munificent offer made them by Presi-
dent Guthrie, are fast losing what
little sympathy was expressed for
them by a few people. The papers
had entered the body. M. Rivaud,
prefect of Lyons, who was seated by
President Carnot, immediately struck
the assassan a blow full in the face
and knocked him from the step thus
preventing the man from again stab-
states declare the offer a most extra-
ordinarily liberal one and that the
people cannot afford to disregard it.
Even the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Hutch-
inson informs us, pronounced it a
munificient proposition. The papers
generally are scoring the town pretty
severely for not accepting it and
bringing to a close a fight which has
annoyed the country at large and has
commenced oil that great institution
just as soon as the ground can be
cleared. If those who are squatted on
the land do not move quietly, the
court will be asked to issue a writ of
ouster and the sheriff called in to
serve the process. The mill project
is too important a one to be dilly-
dallied with by those who seem to
think they have claims on property
for which the government has issued
a patent to other parties. Let the
work on the mill be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and by the
time it is completed the farmers will
have considerable corn to grind.
