OKLAHOMA MOB LYNCHES NEGRO SLAYER OF POLICEMAN SHOT TO DEATH. Riddled by Bullets?Body Tied tc Automobile and Dragged Through Streets of Town. Lawton, Okla., April 9.?Carl Dudley, a negro, charged with having shot and fatally wounded James Hayes, a policeman, was taken from the Commanche county jail here late tonight by a mob of several hundred men and shot to death in the prison yard. After the negro's body had been riddled with bullets it was tied to an automobile and dragged through the streets. None of the mob was masked. One bystander was slightly wounded in the ^ iTi i - * lusinaae in ine jhu yarn. Hayes was shot and wounded while attempting: to arrest the negro here yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace. The officer died this morning. Dudley was captured shortly after the shooting and hurried to the army post at Fort Sill for safekeeping. After holding the negro over night, army officers returned him to the county authorities this morning. The mob formed quickly tonight and, gaining entrance to the quarters of the sheriff at the jail, overpowered him and took the negro from his cell. At midnight the mob was dispersing and no more disorder was anticipated. Shots fired in the negro settlement shortly after the lynching gave rise to fears of a possible race clash. Officers who hurried to the scene found a negro hiding in an alley armed with a rifle. He was arrested. RANGER KILLS NEGRO SOLDIER OFFICER ATTEMPTS TO ARREST INFANTRYMAN. Texans File Protest?Citizens of Del Rio War Department to Send Negro Troops A'way. Del Rio, Texas, April 9.?Private John Wade of Company C, Twentyfourth United States infantry, a negro regiment, was killed here late last night by State Ranger Barler, when two rangers and Sheriff Almond attempted to arrest 16 negro soldiers who had created a disturbance in a house in the restricted district. According to testimony before a coroner's jury today, Wade overpowered Barler after he had been placed under arrest and after throwing the officer to the ground, was clubbing him over the head with the butt of a revolver when Barler drew his pistol and fired, killing the soldier. The _ jury's verdi c? held,-thai* Barler.-acted in self-defense. . Two of Wades companions were arrested and are being held under guard at the military camp. As a result of the occurrence, telecrama awrrnvt Kv o nnmKoi. 0 ..g ..??> m*j mm, (twillUVi VI V.IV1ACII9 were sent to Washington today asking that the negro troops, who have been on duty here about three weeks, be removed to some other station. Testimony at the inquest was to t+v effect that the negroes, after being refused admission to a house in the restricted district returned later armed and raided the place, shooting out all the windows. Several soldiers escaped when the officers arrived and ran in another direction, according to the sheriff. He said a group of these encountered a Mexican deputy sheriff and ordered him to bold up his hands while one relieved him of his pistol. "Shall we kill him," one was quoted as saying. "No," was the reported reply, "We're only after the white folks." A CHILD GETS CROSS, SICK AND FEVERISH WHEN CONSTIPATED Look, Mother! If Tongue is Coated Clean Little Liver and Bowels. If your little one's tongue is coated, it is a sure sign the stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When your child is cross, peevish, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath is bad, stomach sour, system full of cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours ail the clogged-up, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food will gently move out of the bowels, and you have ? ,,,^11 *~I -LIU 1 ? piuyiui ciuiu again. Sick children needn't be coaxed to take this harmless "fruit laxative." Millions of mothors keep it handy because they know its action on the stomach, liver and bowels is prompt and sure. They also know a little given today saves a sick child tomorrow.

Lawson, the demonstrator, is heard to say: "Acute indigestion comes like a thief in the night and is no respecter of persons when it strikes the fatal blow. The high and the low, the most prominent citizens fall before this dread disease, and the more dreadful because it is nearly always too late for the physician to render aid, because the cause may K Q Knon ..M.w wvvii uv Tviv/piu^, XVI ycttia UIISUSpected. So many causes may lead to the attack that the most prominent physician called at the last moment cannot locate the definite source. There may be an acute gastric catarrh or congestion of the kidneys, or it may be a functional disturbance or mechanical obstruction. A weak heart action tends to disturb the normal adjustment between the two sides of the circulation, or there may be structural changes of the heart, lungs or liver, so the physician is rarely called upov to treat a more complicated disease than Acute Indigestion. He can only treat the symptoms as they appear. While the seat of the disturbance lies smoldering in a diseased organ eating the life away, producing symptoms that might come from a number of different sources, the real cause may have been dormant for years, when a slight indiscretion as to diet, ? varying temperature, nervous excitement or a number of immediate causes precipitate the attack. When the physician is called it is too late to locate the real cause and the patient is gone. Every one should guard against those attacks, which, like every other disease, may be avoided if one will only exercise proper regard for the laws of health. The human body contains a principle all potent in healing and restoring the body when disease begins to make inroads upon the strength and vitality, the only thing necessary is to submit the body to this healing force which resides in the organism of the body, and this is the only power under tHe sun which can heal diseases. Medicine can only establish the condition, when your own forces, cure you. This Waco Tonic dose, working in harmony with your _ own forces establishing conditions = which submit your organism to the healing principle of your own body subdues, .tfeaistance .Jtp ypw own healthy force. Now Waco Tonia has been performing these wonders upon " thousands of sufferers from Stomach ^ trouble, not one who has taken the al Waco Tonic treatment has had an at- VJ tack of Acute Indigestion. E A Poor Suffering Woman Who Was ^ Nearing These Fatal Troubles. Mr. C. H. Alexander, whose address C is Union, S. C., called at the store and said to the demonstrator of Waco p Tonic: t "Gentlemen, you have the best medicine that has ever been in this coun- | try for Stomach trouble. I know for I know my wife's suffering and how cj pale she was, and she had no appetite hardly and when she would eat she would have Sour Stomach, Heart Burn and would spit up her food.
