BITTER FEUD

Provoked to resentment by lnsinua
tions against their professional char
acter thrown out by Mart Louthan
in a recent public statement Cor.
Bob Richards and Col. Geo Petty who
recently figured in the public priats
as champion horseshoe pitchers, TO-
day took UP the cudgel against their
detractor, repudiating his allegations
and hurling defiance into tho enc
mys camp. As a result the "enten-
to eordiale7 ii the pitchers league
is slightly disfigured and a bitter feud
is likely to be launched.
Replying to the charge that he and
Petty are impostors in their cham
pionship claims, Col Richards said.
Those letters which Louthan pub
lished are rank forgeries. I never
saw one oil them. 1t is true that we
did get lot. Of cheap advertising out
OF the papers but we didn't have to
write the stuff ourselves as Louthan
did. What night has man like that
to talk about two citizens who have
made chickasha famous by their
achievements as champions? Louth.

Under. the terms OF the proposed
contract, the company leases the drill

promoters consider the contract a
very favorable one.
Replying to o question as to what
a man who purchases a lot gets, r.
NJ Cochran said. "He gets a title to
the lot that he buys and he also gets
his pro-rata share in the well that Is
to be drilled--he will share IN all
that the well may yield and he also
gets the benefit Of the enhancement
in value Of his lot in case the en-
terprise is successful"
According to Mr.. Cochran, the peo-
pie Of this city have done less ia the
way Of buying lots than the outside
towns. The people in and around
Rush Springs and Ninnekah have
been liberal purchasers and there are
several thousand dollars in local
banks, tEs nave come from other

children's SO that there may be no del
lay. She makes list OF the things she
needs. She even pins her samples to-
her shopping list. She figures out how
much time she shall spend in each
place. In short, like general, she has
all her plans worked out Beforehand.
The businessllke woman has a con-

his meals WIN be on time and also that
