INDIANS HOLD
STOMP DANCE

A very few Chlckasha people had
the pleasure Of seeing the big ''stomp
dance" and general Indian pow-wow
near Verden. which celebration con-
tinued during the past three days
Said misfortune descended upon the
heads Of the worthy people of this city
because practically 30 one knew that
such feature was in progress within
a few miles of them.
The Caddo tribe we're the principal
actors in the big event and it is said
that the woods two or three miles
west Of Verden were literally full Of
the redskins Yesterday they pulled
OF ia real war dance, each and every
brave being bedecked with feathers
and war paint. Last night closed the
three days performance and though
several automobile loads of Chickasha
people hurried to the scene upon
learning of the big stunt, the threaten
ing rain clouds united to scare them
back to cover before they saw much
of the performance.

VICTIM OF
A MOTOR
ACCIDENT

The football team-tobe of the
Chickasha high school for 1914 was
dealt a severe blow yesterday after
noon when Looney Wallace, captain of
the squad, suffered broken ankle in
a motorcycle accident between Amber
and Tuttle. Wallace, with a party OF
six, was out on pleasure jaunt. Sew
eral miles north and east of Amber,
the machine on which Wallace was
riding, fell, throwing both riders to
the ground. Wallace's right ankle was
broken.
An attempt was made to bring the
injured athlete back to Tuttle on the
machine, but so severe was the injury
that it became necessary to procure
the services Of buggy. Arrived at
Amber, the party called a Chickasha
physician. who went there at once and
brought the young man to Chickasha
III all dulOs IL Wdo SldbtU tuio i1OIHlIi6
by the physicians that he will not be
able to play football this season, the
break being near the ankle joint,
which fact adds complications.
AT the close of the football season
for 1913, Wallace was chosen to cap
tain the 1914 squad. He has been a
diligent worker during the summer
and a few days ago stated that the
prospects for plenty of good material
for the coming season was in evil
dence. In the event the injury keeps
him out of the game, at least one end
of the Chickasha line will be weak
ened, for Wallace developed last year
into one of the best tackles that ever
performed in a Chickasha uniform.
He was one of the hardest workers on
the team and much was expected OF
him this season in the way of keeping
plenty of pep" in the men.

FORCES Are
MOBILIzED

Talk about mobilizing forcesl That
gang over across the pond know moth
ing but the mere rudiments of the
game compared with the city and
county officials who are preparing for
the big ball game to be staged at Uni
versity park Friday, August 2S, for
the benefit of the Chickasha high
school football team.
They have been pulling this mobili-
cation stuff for ten days and call
for volunteers has brought forth
enough recruits to supply an eight
team league or thereabouts. They are
all ball players too. That is, they are
now or have been at some more or
less remote period Of their existence.
II they are not bali players, every one
has brother or brother-in-law's
nephew who was a world beater, all
of which makes the claimant eligible
TO a position on the team
The county gang worked out last
week and arrived at that high state OF
perfection as ball players that they
could throw ball almost from second
base to first or from third home, pro
viding the wind was in the right direc-
tion and blowing strong enough.
Not alone have the county forces
been busy. For weeks the battery
apon which the city will pin their faith
has been working out, and while all
reports have been suppressed as much
as possible, news has leaked through
the censors that the twirIer is looking
more fit every day. His arm is said
to be developing into into braided
and the receiver is putting
only truly Jimmy Archer class. This
much touted battery halls from the
fire department, but their identity,
especially the pitcher, is being kept
strictly within the camp of the city.
The sccrekeeper is oiling his adding
machine and appointing a corps Of as
sistants. He will endeayor in every
way possible to give the total score.

Believes Gambling
Bills are Sustained

Oklahoma City. Aug. 24.-Although
the official count has not yet been
made on the state questions voted up
on in the recent primary election. it is
the belief of H. I. Laughbaum, super
intendent Of the Anti-Saloon league OF
Oklahoma, that the three propositions
in which his organization is specially
interested were adopted by the people
by safe majorities.
From figures compiled by Mr.
Laughbaum from official returns OF
all but three counties the anti-race-
track gambling and the general gam
bling bills were approved by he peo-
pie by substantial majorities some
thing over five thousand. The West
proposition to amend the constitution
by making drunkenness a cause for
impeachment was adopted by large
majority, according to Laughbaum's
compilation.
Secretary Joe Morris OF the state
election board has not yet given ou'
any official figures on state ques
tions owing to the fact that three OF
four counties have not yet made Their
official returns 20 the board on these
propositions. Secretary Morris has
wired for the returns and expect
them in soon. when the official an'
final count will be made by him.

Review Of Last Week.

tBy j. w. t. Mason, Former European
Manager of the United Press.)
New York, Aug. 24.-The honors oil
last week belong to Germany. The
kaiser's forces have shut large part
OF the Belgian army in Antwerp, have
captured Brussels and practically
have driven the French out of Lor-
raine.
The Belgian operations have been
conducted behind the censor's curtain,
so that we do not know how severely
the allies may have been handled. But
indications points to a constant series
OF skillful retreats before the German
advance within prearranged lines.
Since the AngIo-French-B Belgian plan
of campaign did not contemplate the
retention of Brussels, Germany's vic
tory cannot fairly be called the allies
defeat.
About Dinant the severest Belgian
of the war has been raging all
week. There is no evidence of victory
for either side, but drawn engage
ment is really a German defeat, since
II prevents German crossing of the
Meuse south of Namur and battles

woods and hills.

The French spent the early part of
the week developing an imposing en-
circling movement in Lorraine, trying
to drive the Germans back toward
Strassburg.
That was an offensive movement
containing possibilities of much dan
ger because of the enormously strong
German Notifications in the area of
operations. French troops gained half
a dozen towns after several days
fighting, but the Germans suddenly
took the offensive themselves and the
French quickly retreated across the
boundary, gaining nothing by their
work.

Ia fact, the movement is progressing

their desire for such organization.
The members that we now have will
