Statehood Hill Practically Com
pleted t our congressmen
I-'or New State.
Washington March 19. The
sub-commitlce of the house terri-
torial committee hos practically
completed the statehood bill. Four
congressmen are given the new-
state. The Cherokee Creek
Osage and Seminole nations will
constitute one congressional dis-
trict and the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations will constitute another
congressional district. Oklahoma
will be divided into two districts
division commencing on the range

due west.
l'ive million dollars is given the
new state for school funds for In-
dian Territory's half. No counties
or county seats will 1 established
and located in Indian Territory.
This will lie left to the territorial

In a Collision With Russian Forces
Report Not Confirmed.
London March 20. Reports
have reached here through Rus-
sian sources that there has been a
collision between considerable
lodies of Russians and Japanese
troops and that the Japanese have
suffered a reverse losing heavily
in killed and wounded and captur-
jed. One report has it that 1800
J of the Japanese were taken priso
ners. The rejxjrts do not tate
when the alleged battle took place
but it is supposed to hae been
near Wiju as the Japanese have
lx.en slowly advancing on that port
for some days.
The retwrt that the advance
I guards of the two armies have at
last come together is regarded as
probably true but it is the opinion
of experts the fighting if there has
been any is a matter of outposts
the impression being that the Rus-
sians will not risk anything like a
general engagement south of the
Yalu.
The ice in that river is al)OUt
clue to break tip and a defeat south
of the river unless the line of re-
treat has been kept oien which
would be difficult if the ice is
breaking would mean the annihil-
ation of the entire Russian force.
It is lx-lieved that the Russian
troops in Northern Korea are there
for the purpose of forcing the Jap-
anese to move slowly rather than
to fight. And unless the Japanese
have reached the Yalu and have at-
tempted to cross it is not relieved
there has been anything lik'o a
general engagement.
According to the last authentic
advices received from the front it
is not thought to be possible that
the attempt to cross the Yalu has
been made or can be made tor
several days to come.
Sheraan-Clajcomb
Mr. C. Iv. Sherman of Albu-
querqe N. M. arrived in the city
Friday evening and early Saturday
morning it was rumored that he
would carry away one of our sweet-
est and best young girls Miss Ruby
Claycomb as a bride. The rumor
was confirmed in the aftefroon
when Clerk Speake confidentially
told a few friends that he had is-
sued a license to wed to Mr. C. E.
Sherman and Miss Ruby Claycomb.
They were quietly married Sunday
evening at the residence of the
bride's mother on Iowa Avenue
Rev. Bennett officiating. Only the
immediate relatives of the family
were present.
Mr. Sherman is a young railroad
man and an artist of no mean abil-
ity and may sometime acquire fame
as a caricaturist.
Miss Claycomb if. a sister of O.
M. Claycomb the furniture man
and has lived here most of her life.
She spent one year at school at
Fulton Missouri where she devot-
ed most of her time to the study of
elocution and she has frequently
recited before Chickasha audiences.
Both have many friends who
wish their bon voyage through life
on the not always smooth
sea of matrimony. They re-
ceived quite a number of
useful and va'uable presents. They
left on the 7:55 train for Albuquerque.

Confederals Reunion.
The members of Joe Shelby
Camp U. C. V. together with
their families and a great multitude
of friends had a grand time Satur
day. It was a reunion and dinner
given in Odd Fellows Hall. A
general invitation had been extend-
ed to theex-confederate veterans in
Chickasha and surrounding towns
and a large number responded.
Probably three hundred in all
were present at the dinner.
The dinner skilfully prepared
by the good women of Chickasha
was all that could be desired.
There were more good things than
it is possible to enumerate and it
is needless to say that all did full;
justice to them.
After the dinner there were
some good speeches. Judge Grigs-
Ly presided. B. B. Barefoot de
livered a fine address on "The
Character of Robert U. Lee." It
was a scholarly appreciation of the
character of that noble sou of the
South abounding in eloquence
and was delivered in a striking
and forcible style. The speaker
showed himself possessed of strong
powers of oratory.
Rev. Jas. II . Bennett spoke on
the "Private Soldier." Mr. Ben
nett possesses the art of speaking
in a way that always captivates
his audience and this occasion was
no exception. He handled his
subiect in an entertaining and
maV.erly manner. .
Dr. J. L. Stinson read an ongi-
poem which possessed great merit
and was much appreciated.
Dr T. II. Lone made a strong
address on "Truth and Purity in
Politics which won generous
applause.
