Reads the Speech That Was Carefully Edited
by his Friend Teddy-Hot Shot
At Democracy
MOTION IS
OVER-RULED
:.uthri July 29. In' the district
court here today Judge Huston over-
ruled the governor's motion to dismiss
the oil case but arguments on the mer-
its of the case were stopped by a tem-
porary writ of prohibition issued by
the supreme court.
'Attorney General West started a suit
against the Prairie Oil Co. and Gov
ernor Haskeii through his attorney
filed a motion to dismiss the case on
the grounds that the attorney general
has no authority to institute a suit
without being directed to do so by the
governor
After having the oil case investigat-
ed the governpr decided that the com-
pany was not violating the law.

strained without undue interference
with let-'itimate business."
Mr. Taft attacked the democratic
plalform asserting that mot of it's
declarations are niconsislent or disin-
penious. Mr. Bryan's policies were
held up as destructive. The vast au-
dience that beard the candidate fill-
ing porches lawns and streets r.ir-

which the direct rays of a midsummer
nun sent down upon it wa". responsive
to Mr. Taft'.i every mood and 'here
were loud cries of "No no" when he
said:
' I submit to these most interested to
wageearners. to farmers and to busi-
ness men whether the introduction
into power of the democratic party
with Mr. Bryan at it's head and with
the bu"lmwi discussion that it openly
advocates as a remedy for presnt
evils will bring abed the needed con-
fidence for a restoration of prosperity."
Mr. Taft spoke for on etour and sev-
en minutes. Because of the intense
heat which he appeared to feel more
keenly beneath the canopy of th spec-
tators' stand than did those in 'he
open lawn he cut his enunciation of
principles in many places passing over

United States Depository
Secretary Allard's Message
The University Heights Addition lots are going pretty rapidly
You'li have to hurry if you get in on the deal.
This lot sale Instead of being a matter of duty is indeed a
privilege.
There is not on single lot in the entire 424 that is not a bar-
gain as p'.aced before the people.
The entire addition overlooks Chickasha and the country sur-
rounding in all directions.
It is one of Nature's most rare acd beautiful plots.
Oue to appreciate the charming location and the lay of the
lots as platted should drive out to University Heights Addition
and view it from all the stand points.
The west part of the grounds where is the draw and slope
are taken up by the college site and park hence every remaining
lot lies up high and dry.
There Is not a lot in the entire addition that will not be worth
$300 so soon as the street railroad runs into it and they will vary
in price at that moment between that and $6oo and in a few years
they will be worth two to five times what they will cost.
The terms are easy;
Twenty-five dollars cash; $25 in sixty days and $25 in ninety
days; $115 when the street railroad is running cars on the line
running into the addition and ft 10 when the intcrurbaa is runaing
cars between Chickasha and Sulphur.
An investor cannot lose anything in the proposition if Chick-
asha continues to grow in the future as it has in the past and we
are all confident that it will do that.
Not one cent has to be paid after the $75 is satisfied un-
til the street railroad runs Into the addition and it must be built
and running cars within one year.
Not one cent more is then to be paid until the interurban is
running cars between Chickasha and Sulphur and the cars must
be running before September ist 1910 or the $t 10 is yours to
keep.
Thus it will be seen that there is no danger of loss and yet
there is--
A great opportunity for speculation by drawing corner lots
lots one block from street railroad lots facing on the Bonlevaid
lots facing the college campus and in near vicinity of the park.
All this should be an incentive to the man that had an eye at
all toward getting good returns upon an investment.
Thert is no better opportunity afforded as we look at it for a
real genuine money making investment on small capital.
CAPTURED
PET DEER
BUT THE DOGS MADE QUICK WORK
OF IT-HUNTERS HAD
FINE SPORT
Leaving town at four o'clock this
morning with a large pack of dogs a
party of local hunters returned In a
few hours having a wolf and a deer to
show for their prowess.
Several weeks ago a pet deer be-
longing to Ike Harness escaped and
from time to time efforts were made
to catch it. The animal grew wilder
the longer it ran and it became evi
dent that it didn't propose to return
to captivity without giving its pursu-
ers a good chase. It was the intention
of the hunters to lasso It after the
dogs had brought it to bay but be-
fore they could reach the spot where
it was finally caught the canines had
buried their teeth in its body and life
was gone.
The chase took place a few miles
south of town ar.d those who partici-
pated in it were Emraett Goodwin
Mart Louthoan Joe Dews J. S. Kil-
gore Julius Doss r.nd Mr. Harness.

DOZER INTO
WHOM PEW
With an unknown quantity of
ardent spirits in his interior and a
bottle ou his person a jolly indivi-
dual staggered into the solemn
judicial chambers of Judge Bailey
this morning while a hearing on
the Sam Cook injunction case was
in progress.
I.awton Okla. July 9. The gaunt
hand of ill-luck seetns to have clutched
William E. McCurren county commis-
sioner of Comanche county who was
assaulted and robbed in St. Louis last
night. About two months ajro he was
held up while returning from a com-
inlssioners' meeting and left for dead.
He had not wholly recovered from the
effects of this assault.
The assault here was made by two
white men one of whom struck Mc-
Curren over the head with a club.
Ether or chloroform was then admin-
istered and his life was despaired of
for a few days after which he rapidly
recovered. Robbery was not the mo-
tive of the assault a valuable watch
being left upon the victim.
Several theories were advanced for
the assault but the police believed
that two white men with whom Mc-
Gurren had had a misunderstanding
were responsible.
A short time ago McGurren took hla
wife snd two Infant children to Chi-
cago and placed them in a hospital for
treatment. Both children died a few
days ago and Mrs. McGurren is criti-
cally ill. McGurren was returnins
from Chicago when he was assaulted
and robbed in St. Louis.
The Baptist ladies aid society held
a call meeting Monaay afternoon and
will not hold their regular meeting to
morrow.
The court at once ordered the
intruder seized and searched. A
bottle bearing the label "Sunny-
brook." was taken from him but it
wasn't the official brand. As the
fell aw was being taken out be re-
marked "Don't it beat h I
thought I was getting into a real
estate office-"
After a part of the testimony
had been taken the injunction
hearing was continued till August
10th on account of the illness of
a witness.
