contended.

New Leads
Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 14,—That testi-
mony of a sensational nature provid-
ing “new leads” for the investigators
was secured by the military court of
inquiry today was the information ob-
tained Friday evening from unofficial
but wholly reliable sources. The exact
nature of this evidence is known only
to military authorities but it is said
to involve public officials now in the
limelight whose resignations are de-
manded by the governor.
Sheriff Bob Sanford, police com-
missioner Harry Kiskaddon and C. L
Holland, J. W. Owen and Dr. O. E.
Robinson members of the jury com-
mission declared positively Friday
that they would not hand in their
resignations in response to the gover-
non demands.
All insisted that they had commit-
ted no acta of lawlessss and that
any person or persons who believed
they have should proceed against them
in the courts.
If a compromise plan is to be ef-
fected it is yet to make itself known.
It is not considered likely any organ-
ization will attempt to carry out the
governors terms since the Chamber of
Commerce admitted it was hopeless.
Consequently ouster proceedings by
military officials against those accus-
ed appeared to be the only road to a
the states lawmaking body to take ing.
such action, no procedure having been ; Two women met for the first time
perfected by statute for such a course, since the county fair a year ago here
although it is said that the matter last year. One tossed her head and
said:
‘You old hussy,” and started to
reach into her hand bag, but Mrs.
Albert Whiteside was first in the
draw and with five rapid shots from
an automatic pistol sent five steel
jacketed bullets into the right side of
Mrs. S. A. Maxwell, 36, pretty and at-
tractive widow.
Mrs. Whiteside handed her smoking
revolver over to Sheriff Jim Crane
who was standing within 16 feet of
her. Mrs. Whiteside had entered the
fair grounds with her two daughters
Levetta and Willie Lee, 15 and 17
years old. She had come over from
her home in Hollis with a booster
crowd of 500 persons.
The fair grounds were jammed full
of people and almost a panic result-
ed when the shooting started. Mr.
Maxwell smiled to those about her as
men rushed to her and prevented her
from falling to the ground. She was

Unleashed for the second round
they leaped at each other once more.
Dempsey again was the quicker on
the attack and Firpo went down under
the crushing blows of the champion.
He arose only to go down once more.
Now there was no doubt of the
outcome. The challenger, bleeding
and tottering forced himself to his
feet, carrying on largely by instinct.
he was met by a withering drive and
went down for the second and third
times. Blood flowed from his mouth.
He was stunned and Dempsey let
loose the most terrific power of his
kings as he sensed victory. Firpo

it seemed the end had come, but after
taking a count of nine on his 5th

Sep . 14—Jack Dempsey tonight
retained his world's heavyweight
title knocking out Luis Angel
Firpo, the "Wild Bull of the
Pampas" in the second round of
one at the fiercest, fastest and
most spectacular battles in the
history of pugilism.
The champion floored his Argentine
challenger five times in the first round
and twice in the second before a short'
right upper cut to the jaw sent Firpo'
down for the last time. But in the
3 minutes and 57 seconds of whir.-
wind terriffic maul Dempsey himself
once was knocked clear through the
ropes on top of the press benches and
groggy under a bombardment of
mighty rights, once sank to his knees.
Before Firpo went hurling down to
defeat, carrying with him the shatter-
ed hopes of a continent, he gave a
vast frenzied throng of 85,000 one of ,
the most thrilling and courageous
ring exhibitions of all time. Batter-
ed, bloody and groggy, he showed his
marvelous stamina by coming back
with a whirlwind, crushing drive to-
ward the close of the first round that
had the title holder tottering, closer
to losing his crown than at any time
in his career.
Firpo fought the best fight of his
career. The challengers mighty right
smile. Her first request was to
send for Albert Whiteside, husband of
the woman who had fired the shot.
She died late last night. The White-
aide family is prominent in Oklahoma
having a ranch along the state line
in Childress and Harmon counties.
Her father-in-law was in the fair
grounds and with man yfriends ac-
companied Mrs. Whiteside to tha
