REFUND IS
ORDERED

At the special meeting of the county
commissioners, held at the county
court house Saturday afternoon, the
sum of $3,700O16. was refunded to
Dyke Ballinger, pursuant to an order
carried with a judgment granted the
defendant by Judge win Linn, in the
matter of Dyke Ballinger VS.. Board Of
County Commissioners of Grady
county.
The refund was made to cover
moneys paid by Ballinger in the pur-
chase of tax lands sold to pay taxes
which had been levied through erron-
eous assessments. The lands assessed
and sold we're proved to be allotted
lands and as such were nonassessabie
and nontaxable. Such being the case
the tax title held by the plaintiff was
OF no account and the only means
through which he could recover the
moneys paid for the lands was

BATTLE IN
PROGRESS

There may some big battles going
on over in Europe today, but they are
unimportant compared with the tre-
mendous conflict that is being staged
at the ball park this afternoon in
which the football teams of the Cher
okee and Chickasha high schools are
putting forth prodigious efforts to
pluck down a victory.
In fine trim for fighting, the Cher
okee warriors arrived in the city this
morning, husky looking lads who
didn't hesitate to entertain the idea
that they were going to take their
opponents to a cleaning. They haven't
been beaten this season, having
among the priced scalps in their pos
session that of the proud Norman
team, and there is no doubt that they
are prepared to put up strong fight.
Inspired by the marked outpouring
of pep among the student body and
in town generally during the past few
days, the Chickasha boys. before go
ing into battle were full of confidence
and they were expected TO open wide
the throttle and turn 'er loose at full
speed. According to the dope, :"
Chickasha will be in line for the state
championship if good luck attends the
game today, and it is certain that the
team will go its full length to win
The game was scheduled to be called
at $3.50 o'clock p. m.

is thought for a freight wreck which
is said to have occurred at Amber on
the Frisco. The baggage truck, left
standing at the corner of the depot
building, with the wheels fastened to-
gether with chain and padlocked to
prevent accidental moving, was car
ried by the force of the wind from the
depot platform out upon the main line
track. A westbound freight train
came through Amber at full speed and
struck this truck. The obstruction
was picked up and carried on the en-
gine's pilot for several hundred feet.
