Crystal Risinger
Takes Dangerous
(Jun From Child
Hilly Clark, :• seven year old lad
of Norman, took his father's rifle and
started on a hunting trip which d-
most resulted disastrously this week.!
Crystal Risinger, a neighbor ■ f the
Clarke saw tha youngster starting
with the gun and ran artcr him, call-
ing to bis mother at the same time.
As Cry-tal ran faster than the oth-
ers she reached Hilly first.
Just before Crystal reached him
lit turned, and the rifle which they
believed to be unloaded, went « ff,
the shell going in the ground a few
inches from where the girl stood.
Refore the youngster could fire
again or do any other damage the
girl ran to him and took the rifle
irom his hands.
Had it not been for the fearless
behavior of the girl the rifle might
have shot the child or someone else,

FALLS IMTO HANDS
BULLET'N OF BIG FIGHT
Jack Dempsey, retained the
world's heavyweight champion-
ship Saturday, by knocking out
the French challenger, Georges
Carpentier—in the fourth round
at Jersey City.
The result of this fight will
give another opportunity for the
championship to be won by an
American, and it is the expressed
hope of many Norman fans that
the A. E. F. champion. Bob Mar-
tin. who is coming to the front
as a heav-weight, may yet take
the title This would be gratify-
ing to all loyal Americans, as the
war record of Martin is above
reproach and he is most deserv-
ing of winning from the man
who was accused of slackerism.
