turbed by the information from a re-
liable source that Huerta conspired
with certain members Of his cabinet
to insult the flag at Tampico for the
purpose of bringing on war. The IN
formation is to the effect that Huerta
timed his acts so he could have taken

Uncle Mat Thanks
Friends and Tells
About Trip TO Texas

Introducing a novelty in the way Of
card OF thanks," Matt Chiffon, who
was nominated for constable in the
recent primary, writes as follows.
/ wish to thank the good people of
Chickasha for the good showing l
made in the primary and regret that
could not be there at the time. In
stead was plotting a telephone out
fit from Oklahoma City to Denison,
Texas.
We had contracted to show every
telephone pole between those points
to a couple OF inspectors and on cleo
tion day we were in the sticks" on
Mill Creek somewhere, behind good
team and in light hack. Up hill
and down, through fields and down
rayines we had to keep the right O.
way making the little town for bed
and food. A hard job it was. Follow
ing the COW trail isn't in it for hard
ships.
One of the phone men with his test
er vas up on pole making his report
back to Oklahoma City when ne
caught the message flying over the
wire that Mrs. Wilson had just died.
1t was within ten minutes of her death
according to the reports in the news
papers. n this way we got the lat
est election dope and the war news.
When we came in sight of sulphur,
we saw what we thought to be the
whole German and Russian armies in
camp, in and about these watering
places. 1t turned out to be an encamp-
ment of Socialist farmers with their
families assembled from Texas, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma. to hear Mr.. Debs
talk and to drink the Sulphur Springs
water The encampment was said to
number $4,000 souls. We did not
doubt it, for as far as the eye could
reach white tents and covered wagons
could be seen. | think they were
staying as long as they could find
anything to eat for man or beast fol
ten days later when as we came bach
through the hills and valleys were
still inhabited, only not SO thickly.
We were disappointed in the beauty
Of this famous watering place. In
stead of being well kept and pretty
it was dirty and dilapidated, to thu
extreme There is only one up-to-dat'
hotel, the Artesia. The government
certainly is not laying out much none,
there.
