VICTORY IN DEFEAT.

The Roberts Business College
ball team played the Mt. View boys
two games at Mt. View in which
the score stood 5 to A and 4 to 3 in
Mt. Views favor. This is the
first game the Business College has
played. In these games the boys
made a fine showing, Mt. View
scoring at the last moment.
When we take into consideration
the tact that a crowd OF school
boys with eight days practice in
terested nine I75-pound sluggers,
we can expect better things from
them. The boys declare that
Chickasha has no first team until
the question is settled on the
grounds.

proposition, they having made the
statement that they held a meet
ing and Decided that no strikers
would ever again be re-employed

accept.
I'VE believe the railway express
companies are wrong in their former
employees and believe that the best
interests Of all would have been
served had they agreed to the
proposition. Under these con
ditions it is incumbent on the

TRANSFERS ISSUE STATEMENT
Sheriff Says Militia May Be Call
ed out

Chicago, May 2I.-The strike
OF the teamsters, instead of being
declared off, will bespIead to great
er proportions. This was decided
upon by members of the teams
ter joint council, which was in
session until midnight last night.
The council met at 5 O'Clock to
hear the report of the negotiations
that had been in progress with the
employers during the day. They
agreed to all stipulations of the
employers with the exception of
that which declared that the
drivers Of the express companies
shduld not be taken back. This
was the rock upon whicn the
peace program was wrecked, and
after several hours Of debate it was
decided that the Transfers union
conld not leave the express drivers
to make lone fight, but must
make combined fight.
The sense of the meeting was
expressed in the following, which
was given out as defining
the position Of the teamstets:
ut is due the public members Of
the teamsters organization that q
statement be issued relative to oul
position in refusing to accept the
proposition submitted by the EN-
ployers association. The employ.

favorable consideration from the
strikers and their committee, pro-
viding that it carried with it nc

general engagement is imminent.
Field Marshal Oyama is deploy-
ing heavy forces against General
Linevitch' 5 left and is concentrating
his troops along the center, but his
base is opposite the Russian right.
1t is not yet clear which wing is
making a demonstration and which
will deliver the main blow. II is
evident from Linevitch's prepara-
tions that he intends to accept de-
cisive battle.
Gunshu Pass May 2I-The
weather has cleared and the roads
washed out BY the recent rains are
impossible quagmires, but they will
soon dry.
The present truce is expected to
be broken by the Japanese. They
are showing every evidence OF pre-
paration to assume the offensive,
constantly shifting positions and
pressing the Russian left, where
the cavalry forces are daily ex-
changing shots. The demonstra-
tion on the Russian left, however,
is probably only a feint to cover
the real stroke at the right.
This IS thought more probable
because Of the care with which the
japanese are screening the move
ments on their right, using Chin
ese bandits freely for this purpose.
The attempts of the Russian scouts
to pierce the curtain have not been
successful. Prohting by past ex-
perience a new system of transpor-
tation Of wounded men from the
battle field by means of pack
horses has been organized. Ex-
periments have shown good results.

trenched.

A SECOND
APPEAL
FROM SNYDER. REPORTS OF DONA-
TIONS EXAGGERATED. LOSS or
PROPERTY EXCEEDS S5OO.OOO
THE CITY WILL REBUILD
Carpenters are at work. Sanitary Con-
ditions are Good.

Snyder, May, May 22.-The
following appeal has been issued:
To the entire people. Last night at
a mass meeting of the citizens of
Snyder, allquestions relative to the
affairs were openly discussed and
the committee below named was
appointed to spread the news to
the outside world of the actual con-
ditions here existing and to correct
the mistaken reports that have
gone abroad.
The report has gone out that the
relief fund will far exceed the loss
here, being reported that the city
of St. Louis has sent $50, 900. and
other .xtravagant and untrue re
ports regarding the amounts sub
scibed. The total loss in property is
not less than $500, QUO. This COM
mittee begs to state that the relief
fund so far is smaller than any other
cyclone fund to any city whose
mortality was less than half of ours.
We desire to thauk those who have
assisted. but make strong appeal
to the outside world to make an
other effort to help the grief-strik-
and homeless people. This fund. to
say the least, should re donbled or
even thrilled.
The committee in charge of our
funds is c. J. Helena, treasurer;
E. Dowden, chairmon; B. c. Bur-
nett, secretary; Fred c. Switzer
and Judge Allison. Another COM
mittee of eleven were appointed
last night as an equalization broad.
The committee desires to state that
all funds sent in are being carefully
audited and being carefully placed
in due form on the books, and we
further desire to state that the
money distributed will first 60 to
those who lost their entire home
and effects. and to state to all who
may desire to contribute that every
cent of money made up will be
carefully distributed to the ones
who are the most in need. There
is positivelyno danger of funds be-
ing misappropriated by the manner
i'll which they are handled.
Snyder will rebuild Carpenters
are at work everywhere and you
never saw set of people more de-
ternined than arethe citizensof this
place. The report that Snyder is
moving TO Mountain Park is an
error and a great injustice to our
town.
The sanitary conditions are good.
The territorial health officer came
in last night and is much surprised
to see the excellent sanitary con
dition that town sin. having read
the reports that have gone out that
our town was simply bog hole Of
dead carcases.
The citizens Of Snyder appeal to
the outside world to come to the
front with more financial assistance
as more than 200 homes were com.
pletely destroyed, and all homes
injured or wrecked. The fund TO
date is wholly inadequate to meet
the bare necessities. We desire
that every person who reads this
report to start OF snce with new
list and receive contributions to
forward 10 the relief committee.
So far it is estimated that more
