CHICK ASHA, Okla., Nov. 5.—Ir
order to insure Chickasha against a
possible suspension of electric ser
vice, in event of a breakdown of tne
steam plant here, the Chickasha Gas
and Electric company is rushinng
plans for the construction of ai high
voltage line, carrying 66,000 volts,
from this city to El Reno, where it
will be hooked up with the high line
of the Oklahoma Gas and Electric
company, according to officers of the
local company.
This move has been contemplated
for several months, but .was brought
to a definite and speedy conclusion
when the floods of the Washita river
washed out several hundred feet o
the earthen levee at the company s
water power plant, changed th'
course of the river, and left the hy
draullc plant ‘‘high and dry.”
It was explained by officers «>■
the company that the line from
Chickasha to El Reno will operate a>
an emergency proposition, to foe us*,<
only in the event of a hreakdown
here. It will carry “juice” in the
same manner that a “through" ex
press train delivers Its packages
That is, the 66,000 volt line will
•wrry "Juice” through Uion City
Minco and Pocasset, delivering It at
the plant here. The same electricity
will then be "stepped down" and
sent back to Pocasset and Miner

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Nov. 5
- -Lucile Cunningham, pretty 19 year
old girl, who attempted suicide by
taking a heavy dose of mercurial
tablets, is on the road to recovery.
She refused »o give any reason for
her efforts to take her own life.
The girl dissolved thirty-five mereur
ial tablets In a glass of milk and
then drank a quantity of the poison.
The large amount of poison ap-
parently counteracted its own effect,
and saved the life of the girl, where
a smaller quantity of the poison
would have caused dentil.
