News comes from Ardmore,
Okla., of the killing there yes-
terday of Tom Greenwood, for-
merly tinner for the Hullum-
Taylor-Minteer Hardware Co.,
of this city. When he was here
Tom was well liked, but even
then he was recognized as some-
what of a rounder, and is said
to have become more so after
going to Ardmore. The Ard-
moreite of last evening has the
following mention of the affair:
"Enforcement Officer Dow
Braziel shot and almost in-
stantly killed Tom Greenwood on
Main street this afternoon near
the California Cafe.
"Greenwood shot and wound-
ed Officer Braziel in the arm,
and Brails] in ® return shot
Greenwood through the heart,
killing him almost instantly.
"Braziel was taken to the
sanitarium for treatment and
the remains of Greenwood were
taken to an undertaking estab-,
lishment. Bad blood is alleged
to have existed between the men
for some time, and the shooting
was the outcome.
"Greenwood was well known
here, and Braziel has been an of-
ficer under the department of
the interior for some time.
"The details of the killing
will be forthcoming at the in-
quest later.
"The wound in Braziel's arm
is merely a flesh wound, no
bones being broken. Greenwood
was hit twice either shot would
have proved fatal.
"Braziel is at the Hardy Sani
tarium, in charge of Sheriff
Garrett.
"It is alleged that Greenwood
was a gambler and bootlegger."

(To be continued.)
A meeting of business men
and citizens was called yester-
day to protest against the
strenuous methods of Night
Watch Ed Mayes in enforcing
i the laws and ordinances. While
a number of the leading busi-
ness men were present, many
were conspicious by their ab-
sence. The meeting seemed to be
the result of occurences at the
old settlers' picnic, when a
prominent country citizen had
been hit over the head by Mayes'
billy and other prominent coun-
try citizens had been arrested
for drunkenness. The story
goes that these citizens and
friends had protested to busi-
ness men, declaring that they j
would go elsewhere with their
trade if Mr. Mayes was not curb-
ed. Rev. Whitwell defended the
night watch, but his motion
that Mr. Mayes' methods be en-
dorsed was voted down, and one
by Mr. Rucker that "we believe
in enforcement of law but dis-
approve of Mr. Mayes' strenuous
methods" was adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.
In other words, the squad
marched up the hill and then
marched down again, for that is
about all the proceedings
amounted to.
Country citizens present de- j
clared they had never been mo-|
lested by Night Watch Mayes,
and had never heard of any |
country citizen or town citizen |
who was obeying the law and be-
having himself molested by
him. Others pointed out that
sometime Ed was going to strike
some one too hard a lick with
his billy and kill him, and a num-
ber of instances were cited
where he had used his weapons
too freely and seemingly without
sufficient provocation, and pre-
dictions were made that some
time maybe he would run up
against the wrong customer and
get killed.
It is understobd that Mr.
Mayes says he will resign if re-
quested to do so by a petition
signed by a majority of the law
abiding element of the city, but
will pay no attention to the ac-
tion of a meeting which was not
representative of the citizenship.

Paris, Sept. 12,—The military
critics, especially the critic of
the Journal Des Debates, al-
though appreciating fully the
German reverses all along the
line from Paris to Verdun and
applauding the splendid feat of
arms of the French and British
troops, caution the public
against a too rapid assumption
that the invaders are beating a
disorderly retreat.
It is pointed out that a great
army such as the Germans push-
ed into France still possesses
considerable power of resisting
pursuit, even after such a re-
verse, and that, owing to its
enormous strength, it may as-
sume a counter attack at any
mament. Discussing the ru-
mors of a German shortage of
amunition, authoritative circles
acknowledge that the lack may
have occured in some portions
of the fighting line, but decline
to believe that a fighting ma-
chine such as the German army,
with an open country at its back,
while advancing, could be allow-
ed to run short as a whole.

University Opens September
22nd.
The town is filling up with
people and more coming in on
every train and every interur-
ban car, for the University opens
its fall and winter term on the
22nd, next Tuesday, and the
young men and maidens are
coming to get settled before the
time. Numerous families are
moving in, and there is hardly
a house in town for rent.
The University authorities
are certain there will be a very
large increase in the enrollment
this year, for the inquiries have
been enormous, entailing a world
of work on those who do the
answering. The letters come
from every county in the state
and from every state in the
Union, all stating the intentions
of the writers to enter for the
full courses.
