COLORED GOMBATANTS
Mix in Lively Manner. Good
win Takes Hand

Joe Stephens and Fred Smith,
both colored, engaged in lively
mix-up yesterday afternoon. 1t
appears that Joe took a seat in
front Of Fred shine parlor and the
latter informed him that "those
seats are not far uiggers, where
upon Stephens took exceptions to
the offensive term and the fight
broke out. Officer Goodwin took
both both combataDts to police
court. Judge Grigsby was holding
court in the collectors office and the
room was crowded. AS the case
progressed the two defendants be-
gan to Jaw considerably and
Goodwin suggested that the court
stopthe "niggers' from their jaw
work Stephens was offended at
Goodwin for making use of the term
''nigger" and started toward him,
but Goodwin landed on him with
the butt of his revolver. Panic en-
sued in the court room. The court
being unable to jump out the win
dow made desperate attempt to
crawl under his desk and a certain
reverend gentlemen who happened
to be in the Office executed a most
dextrous aerial flight over the col
lector's counter. Peace was finally
restored and the defendants order
ed to report this morning Stephens
was fined $Io and costs and Smith !
case was continued till tomorrow.
Jim Osborne and Lee Dove were
also fined $40 aud costs each for

DEMOCRATIC
WALKOvER
WAS NOT THE sEMBLANcE OF A
RACE EXCEPT IN THE FIRST
WARD
ENTIRE TICKET WAS ELECTED
For the First Time-Big Maori
ties Were Polled

It wasn't race at all, just walk
over for the democratic candidates.
For the first time in the history of
Chickasha. the democrats landed
every man on the ticket and the
majorities were record-breaking
In only two wards was there
anything like acontest and as the
results showed, only one Of these
was really in danger In the first
ward J. B. Burton and B b.
Bridges ran very close race for
alderman. II was a race between
two men, both oi whom have many
friends and possess the entire con-
fidence Of the community. Mr..
Bridges was undoubtedly the
strongest man the republicans
could have put out, clean and
straight as a string and one Of our
most industrious town-builders.
Burton won by majority Of rs.
The Fourth ward furnished the
only really surprising result This
ward has a heavy republican ma
iority but the democrats thought
Dick Mckay had chance to carry
it, although they didn't expect the
rest Of the ticket to pull through.
Mckay won on his record as a
town-pusher and he owes much to
some leading republicans who pull
ed off their coats and worked for
him
The second and third wards fur
nished scarcely the semblance Of a
contest. Thompson lead the ticket
with Mills not for behind him.
Temple polled the largest vote for
alderman. Buri's vote was lighter
than was expected Odt Of total
offrom 1900 TO 1900 voters, ouly
$50 votes were polled, although the
vote was heavier than was expect
ed.
The following is the vote by
wards:
