To the. Citizen of Chlckasha:
Feeling that the time ha come
whan decided action should be taken
on the proposed Chickasha-Sulphur in-
terurban railroad proposition I have
thought it proper to set an hour for
pronounced expression when the citi-
zens may In public meeting express
themselves and to this end It has been
thought proper to designate Wednes-
day Sept. 29 as the date 2:30 p. m.

DEAD
At the "sheriff's office the officers
are strongly inclined to discredit the
story coming from Lawton to the ef-
fect that the dead men found on the
Washita near here was A. R. Snyder
who was formerly a tailor in this city
and who later moved to Lawton.
The sheriff's rucords show that Sny-
der was here on court business July
26 last coming from Oklahoma City
where he then lived. The condition
of the body found Indicated that the
man had been dead at least six
months.
Lawton Olda. Sept. 28. Is the un-
known man found five weeks ago lu
the underbrush along the Washita
river near Chlckasha with head crush-
ed and body mangled beyond recogni-
tion to be Identified as A. R. Snyder
the Lawton tailor who mysteriously
disappeared from here about the first
of last April?
A. R. Snyder formerly in the tailor-
ing business In the rear of the I-awton
State Bank building disappeared trvi
the city about the first of last April
under mysterious conditions.
Some ytlme before leaving. Feb. 5
last hehad purchased for Jlrs. W A.

money order from the United States

numbered 6-lo.941. The money order
was sent to the Chicago company all

NEW PRESS NEARLY READY
The Daily Express' big Duplex press
which will print 6.U00 complete eight-
page newspapers and fold them each
hour. Is set up and about ready to run.
But for delay in receipt of the paper
used by the press this magnificent
machine would today be ready to start
on the regular edition of this paper.
The installation of the Duplex web
perfecting press by the Express marks
the beginning of a new era in the news
paper history of Southern Oklahoma
for It means that Chickasha now has
facilities for Issuing a modern up-to-date
newspaper of circulation any-
where up to 15000 copies dally. Of
course even the most casual Inspec-
tion of the Express' new printing ma-
chinery will show that a very large
amount of money has been expended

It is urged that the property own-
era and business men of the city be
present at this meeting as this qti-ts

In my opinion no proposition of
greater moment has ever come before

MAN?
the stub from the order.
On tlu person of the dead man
found near Chlckasha the only mark
of Identification whatever was a
United States money order stub num-
pereb 645941. With this clue the of-
ficers at Chickasha wrote the central
offices at New York asking who pur-
chased the order under that number.
Through the general offices the num-
ber of the order was traced to Law-
ton and G. C. Bfney the local agent
of the company has received a com-
munication from the general offices
asking as to the Identity of the pur-
chaser. Unless the stub had been transform-
ed to the pockets or some other per-
son a thing impossible the unknown
dead is the purchaser of the money
order A.' R. Snyder. Mr. Vin-ey says
that he remembers the description of
the man found It tallied exactly with
that of Snyder although at the time he
had not thought of it since the per-
sonal description that could De given
was merely as to the size of the man
since the body was mangled beyond
recognition.
Snyder left Lawton In company with
a woman who had been in Lawton for
some time supposedly for the purpose
of roarngtie. Their destiny was. un-
known. Nothing has been heard since
of the woman. Snyder was known to
have considerable money and in addi
tion to the cash ou his person he
owned a farm out east ot town.

aday is a millionairess many times

"This banking house has carried
through many enterprises successfully
and can and will carry thia one
through if the citizens of the cities
towns and communities make good"
said Mr. Angle.
"They ask that a subscription of
$300000 to preferred stock bearing6
per cent per annum be made which
covers all the preferred stock to be
Issued not so much for the amount of
money involved but for the moral sup
port of the people which the line will
serve and the fact that bond purchas
ers are always better pleased when it
is known that the citizens believe In
the enterprise In their own country
evidenced by their investment to the
extent of their ability. These bankers
are not asking for donations but for
investments.

groes employed as concrete mixers by

the offer.
As a result of the strike concrete
mixing is tied up.

"The road will cost In round figures
to build and equip $1821000 and It la
estimated that it will earn net $518.-
000 per annum which would make th
payment of $18000 per annum Interest
on the $300000 preferred stock safe
beyond any question."
.Mr. Angle stated further that Sul-
phur citizens had made good their
$150000 subscription and that he was
glad that the. mayor of Chlckasha had
called a mass meeting for Wednesday
afternoon and hoped that as a result
of that meeting that Chlckasha would
make good the $150000 asked to be
subscribed' by them it the subscrip-
tions are made a corps of engineers
will be put into the field at. once and
construction begun at an early date or
as soon as the location Is completed.
"It is up to Chickasha to determine
if she gets this line or not" continued
Mr. Angle "and If she does It will be
due to the foresight and energy of Mr
Scott Jones and the willingness of the
citizens of Chickasha to put their
shoulders to the wheel to the extent
of an Investment of $150000 which In-
vestment will be worth more than par
when the line la completed."
Mr. Angle will be present at th
meeting and will be pleased to answer
to the best of his ability any questions
which may be asked him.
