OLD REGIMES MEETING
DEATH OF-W. P. SHELTON
Mrs. Harry Lindsay and Mrs. Chas. W. P. Shelton, well and familiarly
Wantland, of Edmond, Okla., enter- known to our people as "Billy Shel-
Berlin, Feb. 22.—The German of-
ficial statement issued today announ-
ces that the captures in the battle in
the Mazurian lakes district of East
Prussia have been increased to seven
generals and more than 100,000 men.
The pieces of cannon taken numbered
160.
The text of the statement reads:
"In the western theatre: Another
hostile trench was taken by us yes-
terday to the east of Ypres (in Bel-
gium). The enemy's counter attacks
on the captured positions remained
unsuccessful.
"In the Champagne district there
was comparative quiet yesterday. The
number of prisoners taken by us dur-
ing the last battles in this region has
been increased to fifteen officers and
more than 1,000 men. The sanguinary
losses of the enemy has been extraor-
dinarily high. The enemy made an
unsuccessful attack on our positions
to the east of Verdun during the night.
"In the Vosges the villages of Hoc-
head and Stossweter were taken by
us after a short engagement. Other-
wise nothing of importance occurred.
"In the eastern thtatre: The pur-
suit after the winter battle in the
Mazurian district has come to an end.
During the clearing up of operations
to the northwest of Grodno and in the
battles reported during the last few
days in the Bobr and .Navew district,
one commanding general and four
other generals and approximately 40,-
000 men have been taken prisoners up
to the present. Seventy-five cannon
and some machine guns, the actual
number of which has not yet been
ascertained, find much other war ma-
terial has been captured.
"The total booty in the winter bat-
tle in the Mazurian district as a re-
sult of these additions has been in-
creased to date to seven generals, more
than 100,000 men, upwards of 150
cannon and quantities of other ma-
terials of all descriptions, the amount
of which cannot yet be approximately
estimated.
"Cannon of heavy calibre and am
munition frequently are buried by the
enemy or sunk in the lakes near
Loetzen and in the Widimersea. Eight
cannon of heavy caliber were dug up
or pulled out of the water yesterday.
The Tenth Russian army under Gen-
eral Baron Sievers is considered as
having been destroyed.
"New battles appear to be develop-
ing at Brodno and to the north of
Seichawolas. It is reported that the
battles to the northwest of Ossowetz
and Lomaz as well as those at
Przasnysz are taking their regular
course.
"There is no news from Poland to
the south of the Vistula river."

February 18th.
Besides the membership there were
several additional guests. Mesdames
H. A. Cherry of Lawton; J. E. Lam-
bert of Chealsea, E. K. Himes, Rae
Lindsay, D. W. Marquart and Miss
Vida Marquart.
The club was called to order by the
president and the regular routine of
business taken up and disposed of.
Under the head of new business, a
motion was carried to contribute $5.00
to the Norman public library to buy
new books.
The meeting was then turned over
to the leader of the program, Mrs. T.
E. Clement, assisted by Mesdames D.
W. Griffin and C. S. Bobo. The pro-
gram was on the "Natural Wonders of
America." Mrs. Clement gave a beau-
tiful sketch of the Grand Canon of the
Colorado river in Arizona. Mrs. Grif-

street tips morning (Tuesday, Feby
23, 1915), at 6:40 o'clock. He was in
the 57th year of his age, and his death
was caused by pneumonia and heaxt
disease, caused primarily by an acci-
dent that occurred to him last Wed-
nesday. A little boy in running past
him, stumbled ai)d fell directly in
front of him. Mr. Shelton fell over
the boy, striking on his head and
shoulders on the pavement, resulting
in a strain and other injuries, so that
he was confined to his bed. He was
improving, but took a change for the
worse about 3 o'clock this morning.
The doctor was called and relieved
him, so that he felt he was getting'
better, but he passed away at 6:40,
peacefully and quietly.
Mr. Shelton was a remarkable
character in many ways, and in none
more than his indomitable energy and
vigor despite his physical condition

A schoolgirl was requested to write
an essay of 250 words about a motor
car. She submitted the following:
"My uncle bought a motor car. He
was riding in the coantry when it
busted up a hjll. I guess this is about
fifty words. The other two hundred
are what my uncle said when he was
walking back to town, but they are

Monday by Senator Fall of New Mex-

attack upon General Villa. He assert-
ed that Villa on entering Mexico City
seized and forcibly held for four days
a French woman whose husband had
joined his colors in France after plac-
ing his property in charge of the
French ambassador.
"This was not the act of a subordi-
