Arranged for Amusement of
The People by Fair Direc-
tors. The directors of the Fair
Association this week made a
contract with Gus Massey of
Achille to furnish the fair with
a roping contest for every af-
ternoon of the fair to be lieid
in September. Under the con-
tract Mr. Massey is to offer
purses for winners (hat will at-
tract the artists at the banio
of roping and tying a steer
and to furnish enough wild
and wooly longhorns to make
the show interesting.
The directors have addition-
al free attractions in mind and
will take on such others as ap-
pear of enough merit. The
premium list for this year's
fair is now in the hands of the
printer and it is expected that
it will be finished and in the
mail to several thousand peo-
ple of the county within a
week from today.

The scheduled ball gani'i
between Durant and Bokchito
Thursday evening proved not
only a fiasco from the stand-
point of a ball game but a dis-
grace to the sporting element
of both teams and broke up in
the seventh inning after the
squabbling became so general
that a free for all scrap appear
ed imminent and officers were
needed on the field to pre-
serve order.
Rokohito brought their own
umpire along by agreement.
Whether the umpire did not
know how to umpire a ball
game or not it is not under-
taken to say but that his de-
cisions appeared to bo unfair
and unwarranted was evidenc-
ed by the tangle that the game
soon got into. In the fourth
inning McCullough of Durant
was put in to umprie the bases
while the same umps worked
bohied the pitcher to call balls
and st'-Ikes. Things grow
from bad to wor.se until in the
seventh it was seen that friend-
ly relations could no longer
bo maintained and the name
was suspended. At the timo i
of eiu'ing. Durant bad two'
scores and the visitors one.!
The squabble started when I
a question aro.se as to whether
or not Durant's second score'
was legal under the rules and
the difference of opinion be-
came so marked that a general
fisticuff appeared to be in store
and officers were brought on-
to the field to keep the peace
