Sexton died from his wounds
after assuring Foster and others
that he bore no ill feeling. The
cousins each expressed regret
and blamed the whiskey. Fost-

Harrison, Ark. Sept 23-
Following a friendly discussion
as to who was "the best man,”
William Foster and Cbas. Sex-
ton, each 35 years old, coirtins
and neighboring farmers living
near Mt. Judea, engaged in a
duel with knives. As a result
Sexton is dead and' Foster can-
not live. The two men left their
homes early this morning to cut
fodder and were as chummy as
they had always been sjpce
boys.    .
They found whiskey on their
way, and after drinking- stopped
at a cross road store near Mt.
Judea, where the argument as
to superior strength took place.
Near Harrison last night two
brothers, Reuben and Thomas
Cantrell, members of a famous
Arkansas fighting family, fought
a prearranged duel over woman.
Reuben was killed and Thomas
was fatally wounded.
Oklahoma State Ranks are at
this time in a healthy condition.
The sick ones have either Nation
alized or died. This condition
together with the f^ct that the
guaranty fund is commencing to
grow and that there is no fear of
any extra assessment, makes
future banking conditions look
bright to state bankers. ndv.

When Foster and Sexton, the

cousins met today Sexton said:
‘Well, Bill, I see two brothers
fought it out yesterday and one
was the best man. Let’s us two
cousins determine the same
thing.”
Sexton was only jesting but
the men soon got to quarrel-
ing aDd the knife duel followed.
Foster pushed Sexton from the
store platform, throwing him
against the fence, Sexton drew
his knife and rushed at his
cousin, whose knife was ready.
Spectators fled and left the men
to fight it out.
The battle lasted for several
minutes and was stopped when
the men dropped from exhaus-
tion and loss of blood. They
were carried to neighboring
houses, where it was found by
physicians that Foster was cut
in the back, one abrasion ne». -ly
reaching the heart. Foster .s

may be an unlucky number, and
at times it seemed that it would
again proove to be. Remember
the day? Well, yes! The lin-

day, or number thirteen, has
never left us, and yet there can
be nothing in it, save tradition,
for although it seemed at times
that fate would put that number

only three weeks, that 'while
moving to this town, in getting
out a paper for sixteen years
straight and now feels entitled
to a rest. He has sold the entire
interest in the News to his son,
F. A. Wright, who has practical-
ly been raised in the newspaper
office. What little time he " has
spent outside the office has been
spent in an endeavor to become
acquainted with the world and
its way of doing business. He
takes possession next week.

be defeated, if the latter control
their candidate will go into office
with the greatest popular vote
and electoral vote ever given a
president of the United States
The special interests are said to
be behind the movement to nom-
inate Governor Harmon of Ohio.
The executive of the Buckeye
state is one of the big men of the
United States and is the best
governor his state ever had. He
would make a good president if
elected, but he cannot be elected
because the people will not trust
his backers; it would be a repe-
tition of the Parker fiasco ol
eight years ago. The Democrats
must nominate a progressive,
uncontroled by special interests
or they will never elect- a presi-
dent of the United States.
The worst thing the people
can do is to instruct for a lot of
favorite sons and go into the con-
vention to play politics. It takes
a two thirds majority to nomi-
nate in the democratic conven
don and the progressives should
go into the convention with
enough delegates instructed for
one certain man to nominate him
and thus eliminate the chance of
allowing the opposition to beat
them in playing politics, for as
certain as tbe opportunity pre-
sents itself the opposition will
win.

The thing to do is to pick out
a man whom the people can trust
and for whom the people will
vote and let each and every state
that stands for progressive prin-
ciples instruct its delegates to
vote for him and no other.
Such a man is Woodrow Wil-
son. He can win the election by
the biggest majority ever given
auy man for this office; hia in-
fluence is country wide and is
no local affair; be ia as popular
in California sa in New Jersey;
in Texas sa Wisconsin. Tne

Missouri’s two favorites, Clark
