EXTRACTS FROM HARD-

If America is to go on and come to

I have helped to cut slxty-cent

The splendid part played by the
farmers of the nation during the war

fully appreciated by our people
In every American conflict from
the revolution for independence to the

OKLAHOMA WEATHER
Tonight and Wednesday generally
fair
Everybody has to work for a living
row the principle is: No work no
loisi”
Henryetta is a very seemly and
quiet town in the main but occasion-
ally something breaks loose This
seems to have happened last evening
on East Merrick street
A man named Wilson lives in a
t-nt bat two doors from tbe house
occupied by John Carrol a carpenter
New it seems that Wilson has a boy
and Carrol has a giri--both mere
children The two youngsters had
trouble and the boy smeared mud
into the face and hair of the girl and
Carrol called Wilson to tell him about
it From reports it seems that the
two men soon engaged in a fist fight
nid Wilson got the worst of it
Carrol went into his houe after
the fight and sat down — maybe he
was tired after his strenuous exer-
tions Wilson however seemed dir
satisfied with tbe verdict in the fist
fight and proceeded to the engine
over on the Frisco track where he
was employed as a wiper and took
therefrom a certain Colt’s forty sot?
odd Returning to the Carrol home
be called to John saying “come out
you — — — !!! Come out— get your
gun for I have mine”
Now it seems that Carrol must not
have possessed a gun arid he told
Wilson to beatit for he wanted no
further trouble Wilson refused and
teking his trusty forty some odd in
Loth hands proceeding to puncture
holes in the screen door Finally he
threw the door open and went in but
Carrol hiked out at the back door
and beat it Wilson chased him shoot-
ing at him Now at this Juncture a
man came along driving a truck Car-
rol hopped this truck but Wilson fol-
lowed him and kept peppering away
with his gun
One shot had already taken' effect
in Wilson’s hip and he was bleeding
About this time Officer Gray hove in
sight and took a hand in the fight—
if it was a fight Gray soon became
master of the field but says that
even after Wilson had emptied the
forty some odd he snapped it at his
foe Gray captured Wilson and put
him in jaiL Carrol was taken to his
home and medical aid was procured
The above is the story as well as
we could learn it from the officers at
police headquarters It may not be
very clear but is the best we can do
in the matter
Reports are that Carrol is not dan-
gerously wounded for the bullet tore
irto the flesh and glanced off the hip
