Dunn-Welch Shooting
The Purcell Register gives the fol-
lowing account of the Dunn-Welch
shooting, brief mention of which was
made in yesterday's Transcript:
"Joe Dunn shot Walter Welch in
a quarrel over the renting of some
land on the Fairchilds place
miles east of Lexington, Wednesday
morning about 10 o'clock. Dunn
came to town immediately after the
shooting and gave himself up. Sher-
iff Ben Wheelis came down from
Norman accompanied by County
Judge Burke and County Attorney
Tom Cheatwood, and took Dunn to
Norman, where he is now in jail.
"Dunn used a 25 automatic pistol.
The first shot struck Welch in the
back at the left shoulder, the second
shot struck under the right shoulder
and the ball lodged in the lung. Wed-
nesday night Welch was still living
but his condition was serious. Both
men are farmers and Dunn is mo
ried and has been a resident there
for some time. Welch is about 26
years old and is single.
"It seems that Welch wanted to
rent a piece of land and he inquired
of Jack Fairchilds, the owner, re-
garding it. Fairchilds told him that
Dunn had charge of the land but
Dunn would not rent it to Welch.
The two men had words and Tues-
I day night it is alleged that Welch
called Dunn up and wanted to talk
the matter over with him. Dunn said
I Welch could find him at home if he
wanted to talk anything over with
him. Wednesday morning the two
met about six miles east of Lexington
and the shooting occurred. Welch
also carried a gun but Dunn beat him
to it."
Mr. Dunn has been admitted to bail
in the sum of $3,000, and will have
his preliminary before Justice Peters
at Lexington on April ICth. It is said
that Welch is resting easy and in a
fair way to recover.

Park Boards and Trees
m * •
The "Park Board," when appointed
by the Mayor and members of the
city council, shall have jurisdiction
over all city owned parks.
We have labored long and earnest-
ly to have this board appointed. Thus
far we have failed. The responsibility
is not ours. Whether we ever have a
park board in Norman or not, we
have discharged our duty to our city,
in trying to find a better way to care
for the trees that need a friend out in
"The City Park."
We remember Norman as a shade-
less place, and sad is the recollecti n
thereof. A tree to one who cam*, lo
Norman and found no trees, is a jewel
in the crown of life. It stands for com-
fort, to children as well as old age A
tree, like a child, needs careful nurs-
ing and training. The owner of a tree
must sacredly guard it, and care for
it in many ways. There are only a few
good trees properly cared for in Nor-
man, as the experienced eye can see
Seeing a tree is a wonderful gift.
To see a tree aright is an art that
must be cultivated, like everything
else that we learn to do successfully.
This is "The University City." Why
not learn more about trees? Trees
that make our city beautiful and at-
tractive?
To have plenty of trees, free for
all. "A Park Board" could plant seeds
or buy seedling trees from wholesale
nursery men at about three cent each.
They could be planted in straight
rows in "The City Park" and be cul-
tivated without any additional ex-
pense to the city, and at the end of
two years thousands of trees from
the soil could be furnished free of
charge to every lot owner in Nor-
man. Trees suitable for planting now
cost from fifty to sixty cents each,
and when they arrive in Norman they
are about half dead from dried and
withered roots.
To have more trees, to have cheaper
trees, to have better trees, to help
make Norman a tree town, is why we
have tried to have a Park Board
created. There are many other things
that a real park board can do to help
Norman be made more attractive, but
a real park board means three men to
labor for love of Norman without re-
ward save that which comes from the
fact of having done something for
Norman.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE
Today Women Are Better Corseted—Because of
"J. C. C." Corsets
Front Laced
Front laced corsets—particularly the J. C. C.
have had a remarkable rise in popularity in the last few
years. Thousands and thousands ol women tind the
front laced corset maintains their figure lines, supports
the body naturally and gives them stylish, permanent
and distinctive lines.
The front laced corset properly designed will do
more for your figure than any other corset. It fits like
a coat. It cannot be drawn out of shape or into any
shape other than that which it is designed to portray.
It gives to the wearer a perfect back, and relieves all
harmful pressure on the spinal column. The figure
takes the perfect lines of the corset. •
A J. C. C. trial fitting will" tell you better than
anything else how stylish and how comfortable a
J. C. C. corset really is. A full realization of the supe-
rior design of the corset, the proper materials and
careful workmanship of the J. C. C. corset can only be
appreciated by a trial fitting. Then the comfort be-
comes apparent; then the style lines are seen; then the
beauty of outline is noted. A trial fitting is more con-
vincing argument of the value of a J. C. C. Front Laced
Corset than any description we might use.
