Ken
Secretary McCracken ofihe Retail-
ers' Association is circulating a peti-
tion among the busim-s men -'hich re-
quests the Rock Island to restore the
motor car service between thU city
and Wnurika. The pel il ion has been
signed by practical all the merch-
ants bankers and leaders in other
lilies of business and will he forward-
ed to Gen. Supt. Ceacom.
The motor car formerly ran di.lly
between VVaurika and Chickasha ar-
riving here In the morning ind leav-
ing late in the afternoon thus afford-
ing the people of the south half of the
county an opportunity to come here to
trade or transact court business pml
return home the same day. Since the
service was abandoned some months
nt;0 there? has been nothing to take its
place and consequently it has worked
a hardship on the people along the
lino south of Chickasha.
The abandonment of the motor car
service was talked of last spring hut
upon the urgent representations of the
Chamber of Commerce officials of tho
company agreed to maintain it for two
months to determine" ..iieiiiei ii could
be made to pay. They declare it was
losing money for the company and
hence discontinued the service.
With nil kinds of business picking
up the citizens of Chickasha believe
the motor car would carry a full load
of passengers every day now and
therefore they are urging the restora-
tion of tho service.

Official Vote is Announced
by Governor; Contest
is Likely
Augusta Maine Sept. 19. Complete
official returns from the special elec-
tion last week when Maine voted
on tip; question of repeal of the con-
stitutional prohibitory amendment as
canvassed by the governor and coun-
cil Monday showed a .majority of twen-
ty votes in favor of repeal.
Various discrepancies were found in
the official returns :ts compared with
the tabulations compiled by the secre-
tary of state's office. The latter indi-
cated a majority for repeal of 1SG.
It is likely that the result will be
I contested in the court though no of
ficial notice to that effect has been
given. It has been rumored persist-
ently that if the vote w ere close an ef-
fort would be made to show fraud. In
t the case of the contesting factions be
ing drawn into a legal battle the mat
ter likely will be carried up to tht I'n-
lted S'ates supreme court and the ac-
tual repeal of the law delayed several
months at least.
Som doubt still remains as to the
correctness of the returns and Gover-
nor Plaisted announced that city and
towns clerks will be given twenty
('ays to check the results.
The total vote of the sta'e as shown
by the official figures tabulated last
night Is as follows: For repeal 6i-
f S 7 ; against CO.ffil; majority for re-
peal 2t'i.
Miss Monte Grigsby who has been
delirious for twelve days from the ef-
fects of a high fever is now con-

Cochran Pleased with the
Outlook; Lots are
Selling Well
R. M. Cochran says that he has nev-
er seen a business undertaking in
Chickasha that has met with the unan-
imous favor that has been accorded
the Rock Creek Oil and Gas company.
"It is true that money conditions are
unfavorable at this season of the year
to any undertaking but we have
found fewer knockers on our lot sale
propostion than any proposition that
has ever been launched in Chickasha
during my residence here" says Mr.
Cochrau.
"Kvery one seems friendly toward
the oil and gas project and whether
tSey buy lots or not this spirit is cer-
tainly encouraging" continued Mr.
Cochran.
"The agents who are selling lots in
the proiKtsed field are all new men in
the business and not one has any ex-
perience in selling lots in oil fields
but they have an abundance of faith
in the enterprise and have had good
success."
BROWN HAS
A CHANCE TO
RECOVER
A telephone message at 3 o'clock
this afternoon from Dr. J. S Littla
of Mlnco who is in charge of the
case of Rex Drown shot yesterday
by his brother Tandy stated that
young Drown has a chance to recov-
er. Dr. Little said "Brown is doing as
well as could be expected. I would
not say that his chance to live is
good. It all depends on whether in-
fection sets in or not and that can-
not be definitely determined till about
72 hours have elapsed from the time
of the shooting. If we keep infec-
tion down I would say that he has a
good show to recover. He regained
consciousness late yesterday after-
noon and is now perfectly rational.
His pulse at 11 o'clock this morning
was 130 and his temperature a lit-
tle over 100. The shot entered the
left side of his neck and slightly to-
ward the back."
Tandy Brown was landed in jail
by Sheriff Lewis a little after 4
o'clock Monday afternoon following
his arrest near Tuttle. He declines
to say anything at all about the shoot-
ing. No new facts In regard to the
affair have developed.

iDY TO
RAINFAL
IS GENERA
N GRADY
Amounted to Over Inch
Here; Late Crops are
Benefitted
With a precipitation of an inch and
a tenth here last night as shown by
the government guage and approxi-
mately the same amount extending
over a wide area in this section of
the state moisture sufficient for the
maturing of late feed crops so much
needed by farmers and to put tie
i
ground in excellent shape for sowing
W'heat. is assured
. Following the showers of the past
30 days the rain which fell gently
all soaking into the earth amply
meets immediate needs and is of
vast value to the country With
a reasonably late fall it is believed
that farmers In most sections of the
country will have plenty of feed to
carry thera through the winter which
is all important in view of the short
corn crop.
As to the effect on cotton It is
said that while more bolls may ma-
ture if frost holds off long enough
the deterioration in quality of the
cotton already open will about coun-
terbalance this benefit and therefore
the rain will make little i;:rclable
difference in the net returns from
(he crop.
Many farmers in this section have
prepared the land for wheat sowing
partly with a view to winter pastur-
age and the rain will likely result
in the early starting of the wheat
drills.

Chicago Sept. 19. Judge Peter
Grosscup of the Vnited States circuit
court of appeals announces his resig-
nation ettective about October first..
He wiil practice law in Chicago.
Among the notable judicial acts of
udge Grosscup were the closing of.
the Chicago world's fair on Sundays
and the injunction which he issued
against Eugene Debbs'and officers of
the American railway union.
His most notable case was the
opinion of the circuit court setting
aside the $29(KlO000 fine imposed on
the Standard Oil Co. the decision be
ing prepared and read by Grosscup.
It is stated that Grosscup's resigna-
tion is based on the grounds that af
ter January the new law governing
court procedure is effective changing
his work so that he would begin a
new line of work that would keep
him on the bench for years unless ha
could turn over his uncompleted work
to his successor.
Concerning his reasons for resign-
ing Grosscup said: "With more indi-
vidual freedom the world is political-
ly trying to catch up with a world of
radically changed economic condi-
tions. Next year's presidential elec-
jtion I believe will be the last on old
! lines. The great settlement for fu-
ture will not be through courts of
law but through the court of public
opinion."
