When Herman Unger. a commercial
traveller down Boston way, concluded
90 depart this life he desired soma
disposition OF his body which would
preclude resurrection. Accordingly he
decreed that his corpse be crematet
and that the ashes be mixed with suf-
ficient cement to form solid rock.
Upon his demise recently his rela.
tlves carried out his wishes. Mixing
fve parts cement with one part ashes,
they did the good Herman into a
brick Pressed into the face thereof
are these words: Herman Unger
Leave me in peace" But we believe
that such n brick "a Herman cannot.
and should not, be left in peace to es.

the happy future. If the road TO he'll

EYE SIGHT
Unfortunate Circumstance Claimed
Prominent Chickasha Citizen
as Victim This Morning
JAMES PETTYlOHN BLIND
thought to Have Been Due to
Medical POisOns

James Pettyjohn, one Of Chicka-
sa's first settlers and most promi-
nent citizens, and proprietor Of the
Palace Drug Store, was suddenly
stricken with blindness this morning,
and can now distinguish nothing ex-
cept darkness and light
When Mr.. Pettyjohn woke up this
morning, he could see as well as US
ual, but going out into the yard a
short time later, everything turned
completely black before him and the
only objects he could see were "spid-
ers everywhere.
Mr.. Pettyiohn lost the use of his
left eye nine years ago and in the
same inexplicable manner and gave
up compounding drugs because re
thought it affected his sight. He has
had weak eyes for some time but has
never before suffered complete blind
ness, and even now declares he will
not give in to it, His many Chicka-
sha friends join in wishing him the
speedy recovery Of his sight.

were out Of City.

Is Chickasha harboring band Of
organized fire bugs and dynaniters
or is there a gang Of deep-dyed crim-
inals in this section Of the country
who through personal grievances are
attempting to wipe out several Of the
best established citizens from their
homes and business houses? The ques-
tion is trying to be solved BY the lo-
cal authorities. The conditions Of the
past few weeks would tend to indi.
cate such facts. The burning Of sew
al houses and the finding Of stick
Of dynamite under two Of Chickasha' s
business houses Tuesday are instances
in point
Adding weight to the above conclu-
sion was the burning Of the home Of
j. L. Long with contents last night
at ii o'clock. There is but little
doubt in the minds Of the boys in the
fire department, the police depart
ment and people acquainted with the
conditions that the work was that Of
fire bugs.
