RAND|T BOUND over
TO THE GRAND JURY
Solicitor Clay Wins First
Point. Judge Greer Set
Bond at $4,000.

James Nolan, the man arrested in
Atlanta, and suspected of holding up
the N. C. and ST. L. passenger train
about two weeks ago, was brought
to Marietta on Monday night and
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge B. V. Greer on Tuesday af-
ternoon. His attorney waived eXami-
nation and asked that Nolan be al
lowed to give bond. Solicitor GEN
eral Clay did not object to bond but
asked that the sum be made large
enough to afford security for the
State. Nolan's attorney argued that
the bond be made reasonable and
express the opinion that two thous-
and dollars would be about right.
Chas. H. Griffin, assisting Solicitor
General Clay, asked for the sum of
five thousand dollars with the result
that Judge Greer assessed the sum
of four thousand dollars. No effort
was made by the prisoner to make
the bond and he was taken back to
jail by deputy sheriff Hicks.
No witnesses were put up by eth
er side but each side declared it's
ability to substantiate its contention.
The States attorneys declared
three witnesses would make positive
identification and the defense ar
gued that they could prove a posi-
tive alibi.
Nolan will remain in Jail in Mar
ietta until his case is tried. 1t will
be placed before the March Term
Grand Jury.
The men who were arrested in At
lanta last week are being held for
other crimes until Nolan can be Civ
en- an examination.

mances, and then he came back in the
same romantic way. On his way to
call on my sister when he got back
he met a friend Of my sisters and
inquired if Sadie We as beautiful as
ever
"He was told yes, that Sadie was
just as beautiful as ever-no more.
no less. Obfogle had acquired pair
of owl spectacles of the ultramodern
type. He supposed that if Sadie had
looked lovely before her loveliness
would loom up twice as large through
the new and more powerful specs.
with smile of anticipation he
came to the house. When Sadie en-
tered the parlor he took a good look
at her and was never seen again-just
as they say in story books.
"On the whole, specs are bad
thing. l hope you and the girls will
not invest in them, even If they are
fashionable at present"

BUT A STEP AWAY.

The time Is drawing near when the
hearts of men, women and children
will be gladdened and saddened alike.
To those who come under the first
head we congratulate; to those await
ing a time of unhappiness, we sympa-
thize. Sometimes tbs hard to under
stand why part of the world is hap
by and the other part dwells in gloom.
Is there any reason why such should
be the case? All were created equal.
But upon second thought we easily
understand. When Moses dwelt up
on the earth he was given the Books
of the Law, commonly called the Ten
Commandments The people were in
structed to live by these laws, If they
would have peace and plenty. Those
who believed in SO doing, have pros
pered and to them will come happy
Christmas time. Many have failed to
grasp the opportunity and have put
their faith in Mammon rather than
God.
If we would get the true spirit OF
Christmas time, its real significance,
its real meaning we should let our
minds drift back to tnat little stable
in Bethlehem, where some nineteen
hundred and fifteen years ago the
Savior of men first saw the light Of
day. If, we would but ponder for a
few moments and try to picture that
wonderful spectacle in our minds, we
would more fully enjoy the happy day
soon to come.
'Tis not SO hard to understand after
all.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1914-12-12
A PINCH HiTTER--uP.

This is the last frame of 28-inning
game. Ii started on November 10.
when the Chief left us. Being the
only star slabman on the staff it left
the team in Dad. Despite the fact
that there were men on bases and
none down, he beat it. With only re-
cruit pitchers to go in, meant extra
work for the team, but they have
proved equal to the emergency.
The infield, or mechanical depart
ment, has been ON the job to the man
and If we wabbled bit in the pinches
they accepted all chances and pulled
us out of the hole. Also the stunts
staged by ilae outfielders, or men on
the street, have been little short of the
spectacular and they have pulled down
long ones that looked like smashes
good for the entire circuit. Also, the
receiving department has been doing
the steady, consistent work that is his
habit. For years he has stood, calm
ly behind the bat, taking them all and
never letting foul tip nor a pop-up
fly get away. Nothing like having a
veteran on the team. The game is
still tied. We have held them and
they have held us. At times we
thought we were due to slip across a
tally or so, but they struck us out
with the Przemysl shoot, the Petro-
grad fade away, putting the Konigs-
burg hop on the third one over.
Along about the tenth inning we
connected with a straight New York
fast one, being able to handle that or
even one with the London or Paris
crook to it. There were men on the
paths and when the pill bounced
against the concrete it looked good
for "a couple, but along came that de-
ceptive, elusive outfielder known as
the Next Days Press Dispatch and
blasted all hopes by pegging us out
at the plate
Some of the innings have been dark
for the home team, but we have al
ways pulled out somehow. What the
pitching staff was shy in experience,
the infield made up in headwork,
speedy ground covering and the abil-
ity to pull double out of booted
chance.
Talk about your double headersl
They are as mere exhibition contest
to the one we have been staging. But
it's all over now. There is a veteran
warming up on the side lines and when
the next inning starts, which will be
