NO. 35
Bad Ch ck Artist
Nabbed Here Saturday
Getting the coin by signing
the other fellows name to checks
was pulled here the second week
in this month and now Wheeler
Holtzclaw is being housed in the
Kingfisher-co. jail accused of
the offence and awaiting a pre-
liminiary hearing which will be
held Friday.
One check for $35.00 was
drawn on Cavanaugh Bros, thru
the Bank of Navina and was
cashed at the Farmers State
Bank. Another check for $45.50
supposed to be signed by E.
and drawn on the Farmers State
Bank was cashed at the First
National Bank.
The check artist then left town
but last Saturday Cashier Smith
recognized his man in Holtzclaw,
who was on the streets, and ac-
companied by J. H. Rect#r, took
the young man in charge and
turned him over to-Sheriff Long.

Letter From "Over There"
j
Sergt. Ear! Winans to School
Nevers, France, Nov. 24 18 j
Dear Father;
As this is father's day I will |
drop you a few lines and let you ;
know I am all 0. K. and at pres-j
ent enjoying life. Hope all are '
the same there. I am now at |
Nevers, France some distance
southeast of Paris. It is quite
a nice city, the best I have been
in since I have been over here.
Just got through eating the best
meal I've had since I came across,
at a Red Cross room. It was a
real home cooked dinner and
cheap, only a Fr. and a half, or
about thirty cents in our money
The Red Cross is a great thing
for the soldier. They sure treat
you right.
Well I'll tell you the reason 1
happen to be away down here.
They are sending me to Clamecy
to school. One officer and one
Sergeant from each company,
and I happen to be the one they
chose. It is quite a vacation j
for me to« as it is the first time i
I have been away from the com-
pany since I have been with it, I
fourteen months. I have been on |
the road for four days now, and
don't think we have come overi
three hundred miles at the most.

A White Christmas
This Year
Sometime Sunday night the
weatherman swooped down on
us with the big snow storm of
the season and covered the
ground to a depth of six or eight
inches. Snow coniinued falling
througeout the day Monday.
A strong northwest wind Mon-
day evening and night caused
the snow to drift with the result
that the roads have since been
almost impassable for a vehicle
of any kind. No trainr arrived
in Cashion Tuesday and it was
through the efforts of the east
bound train that the road was
cleared Wednesday.
J. E. Heller came in Wednes-
day night. Jesse has been in
France for several months.
Cashion business men raised a
small Christmas fund to insure
Christmas joy in three or four
deserving homes.
Connor Cannoy, of Denver,
Colo., is here visiting his sister
Mrs. C. E. Price.
A letter from Mrs. Geo. Grace
advises us to send her paper to
here there.
