DOES CHICKASHA MUCH HARM BY
CROSSLY EXACERATED
STATEMENTS
SAYS 3000- MUST WOVE
Quotes Business Man of Chickwna
and His own Imaginati on
Reproduced from the Ardniori!..
Hundreds forced to move In-
habitants in Chickasha in sorry
plight occupauts must vacate.
Lawton Ok. May 15. A busi-
ness man of Cuicka&hi I. T. who
came here today states that by
Wednesday of this week nearly
3000 of the 10000 residents of
Chickashi will be compelled to
move all their belongings from a
portion of the town to which title
to purchasers cannot be awarded.
This section referred to was In-
dian public land of Chickasaw na-
tion and was sold in lots and
blocks to purchasers who were
assured that perfect title could be
given. A recent -decision of the
United State com t holds that deeds
cannot be issued to purchasers and
occupants are ordered to vacate.
In a sense it is the removal of a
city and hundreds of persons are
without places to move their pos-
sessions upon.
The above article appeared in the
Ardnioreite of the i6tb and has
come all the way from Lawton
where it appeared that a business
man of Chickasha has been quot
ed. "
The fact of the matter is that
there are a few families of negroes
possibly a dozen families who had
exercised their supposed right of
squatter sovreignity on some land
just outside the limits of the city
near the Rock Island and when
the government wanted t lie land
they refused to move claiming
that they had a title to the ground
The case will be decided by Judge
Dickerson tomorrow.
ROUND ABOUT CHICKASHA .
The Lindsay news says the
Lindsay Military Band went to the
city park and played a few select-
ions on Sunday afternoon. Sounds
rather metropolitan why can't
Chickasha have a city park she
has the crack band all right.
Mrs. Newell Johnson aged 26
years died at Bradley last Friday
tubeorcolosis.
The little four year old daugh-
ter of II. II. Hart living near
Lindsay was burned to death Wed-
nesday. Kecking on a match was
the cause and as the parents were
out on the farm they did not get
back in time to save anything and
were just in timeto see the house
with the little one in it burn.
The fine $5000 home of C. E.
Costello living near Lindsay was
destroyed by fire Thursday night.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance.

Sulphur I. T. May 16. The re-
mains of Editor W. L. Knotts of
the Herald who died in Kansas

deferred until Thursday to await
the arrival of two sisters from New
York city aud a brother from Salt
Lake city. The entire city is in
gloom and the funeral will be large-
ly attended.
Dr. Chas. P. Brown is in receipt
of a letter from one of his old c'ars
mates in Kansas City Dr. St
Flmo Sandtrs in which the former
has asked for some information
reg irding the death ot W. L.
K Its. Dr. Sanders is city physi-
c: of Kansas City and it wa3 he
iviw treated Mr. Knotts after
being brought to the hospital.
He says: "I know nothing about
the particuiars of how Mr. Knotts
was hurt. He was brought to our
hospital suffering from the symp
toms of a basilar fracture. He
clearel up somewhat and then got
worse and died. At the time he
was brought to the hospital he
was bleeding from the ears and
nose he showed a little paralysis
on the left side which gradually
deepenei until he died. At the
autopsy we found a queer conditi
tion (here Dr. Sanders goes into
the technical points of the case)
The man was so completely uncon-
scious when I received him that at
no time while in our hospital wis
I able to make a diagnosis.
