OUR NEW DRUG STORE
In years gone by the name HARVEY on a prescription, or drugs of any nature, was sufficient guarantee to anyone trading at Asper-
jnont that the goods were exactly as represented. The same HARVEY fills our prescriptions and dispenses our Drugs and the same old
guarantee is still good. We have a fresh new stock, want your patronage and will treat yov right—We are "doing business on the'
Square." We appreciate the many kind expressions from our old customers and in this connection wish to say that you can be of^jreat
help to us by a word to your friends who have located here since the earlier days by telling them of your experience in trading with
this same HARVEY. We will appreciate this on your part and will assure you that your recommendations will be fully met. We use
LILLY'S Pharmaceutical and Mercke's Chemicals in our prescription work. Ask your doctor if they are standard goods. Our pre-
scriptions are filled by HARVEY, who was first registered 13 years ago, and has been registered twice since—not because he had to but
just to see if he was abreast of the times.
WE WANT YOUR TRADE,

FOUR MEN LYNCHED
AT ADA, OKLAHOMA
Jail Visited at 3 O'clock in
Morning, Guard Over-
powered, Men Taken
To the Public.
I take this method of express-
ing many thanks and my heart
felt appreciation cor the kind-
ness shown us by the big- hearted
people of Aspermont, during the
sickness of our late husband and
father. And more especially
does our heart strings reach out
Four men, well known in Ft. j ,0 the members of his profession
Worth, were lynched by a mób |(The Docto^ of Aspermont) for
' , ! services rendered us in our great
at Ada, Okla., early Monday troubles. May God's blessings
morning. J. B. Miller, often ever flow upon you all, is the ear-
called "Kid" and known as ''Jim1' j nest prayer of
Miller, and B. B. Burrell were
both arrested in T^ort Worth a
short time ago and taken to Ada
for trial, charged with complicity
in the murder from ambush of
A. A. Bobbit on Feb. 27.
No one saw the killing, but it
is claimed Bobbit before death
stated that Miller shot him. The
four men are:
J. B. Miller, former ranger and
deputy United States marshall,
Fort Worth.
B. B. Burrell, real estate deal-
er, Fort worth.
Jesse West, cattleman, Cana-
dian, Texas.
Joe Allen, cattleman, Canadian,
Téxas.
The examining trial of the four
men was held Thursday and the
men were held to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury. About 3
o'clock Monday morning a mob
of about sixty-five men formed at
Ada and marched to the jail.
Very few of them wore masks
and there was little noise or dis-
order. It is said the mob was
composed of some of the best
known citizens of the town.
Only one man was on guard at
the jail and he was easily over-
powered. In fact, no resistance
was offered the mob. The four
prisoner were dragged from
their cells and taken directly a-
cross the street, where ropes
were waiting, tied to the rafters
of an empty barn. These were
tied around the necks of the men
and temporary platforms kicked
out from under them.
At daylight the bodies of the
four were still hanging in the
empty barn where the mob left
them. Miller leaves a wife ¿ind
three children in Fort Worth.
His widow runs a rooming house
on East Weatherford street, be-
tween Main and Rusk, and just
opposite the court house.—Star-
