False Pretense Crimi-
nal Docket tuesday

Yesterday afternoon before Judge
VIII Linn, George Hunnicutt, charged
with obtaining property under false
pretense, entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to two years in the PEN
itentiary. Hunnicutt, it was claimed
in the information, purchased a REQ
automobile from Henry DuBose, local
dealer, and gave him check for 5000
on a Ninnekah bank. When it came
to the Showdown, HuDnicutt had no
funds in the bank, yet the car had been
delivered to him He shortly left for
Arizona, where after period of about
n month, he was located through the
efforts of Hodge Bailey, sheriff of
Grady county. His arrest was made
by the Arizona officers and he was
brought to Chickasha by Bob Castle
man, deputy sheriff of Grady county
When first arrested Hunnicut claim
ed that he would within short period
have enough money to settle all claims
but evidently his plans did not ma
terialize and rather than to fight the
case. he entered plea of guilty
Meanwhile the district court is
marking time as concerns the trial of
cases. awaiting the opening of the
criminal docket, set ior next Tuesday,
June s. The civil docket has been
cleared up as far as is possible and
Judge Linn is hearing matters in
chambers while he waits for the Grim
inal calendar date
The first caes on the docket is the
State vs. Jess Taylor. charged with
murder. As far as is known the case
will go to trial as scheduled, however,
there is a possibility that it will be
continued on the ground of inability
to reach important witnesses. The
criminal term will require all of week
and probably longer in the event moth
ing unforeseen occurs.
A new venire of 40 witnesses are
summoned to appear Tuesday morn
ing for duty at the criminal term. Also
the case of the State VS. A. b. Wright
will be heard at this term of court.

Merchants Contract for Big Specta.
Gle for Fourth" Celebration
Capt. J. Hector Worden
to Appear Again
AVIATOR TO STAGE
AERIAL BOMBARDMENT
Exhibition Offers Many Thrills :
Fort Uses Aerial Guns But is
Blown Up--Carnival Also
on Program

That Chickasha and surrounding ter
ritory on July "a will have the oppor
tunity of seeing what is said to be one
Of the most spectacular productions
conceived during recent years, was
cinched this morning when the Retail
Merchants association signed con
tract with Capt. j. Hector ;Worden
aviator. for a spectacle known as the
Aerial Bombardment of Liege.
Capt. Worden appeared here ON last
July "a in spectacular aeroplane
flights and gave immense satisfaction.
His program has been improved to
the extent this year, according to the
terms of the contract, as to advance
beyond a mere exhibition. 1t gives an
insight of the method now employed
across the pond as the acceptance
lombard a town or fortress.
An immense amount of scenery is
carried for the production and a for
tress is erected therefrom. The avia-
tor in the role of an enemy to the
fort, ascends and does scouting duty
for period. He at last discovers the
fortress. advances at an altitude or
about 1000 feet and starts to bomb the
stronghold
But the men in the fort are not to
be blown to atoms without a struggle.
Twenty-eight cannon, especially cor
structed, are mounted in the fort and
they open fire with smoke bombs on
the aeroplane. A lively battle follows
in which more than 100 bombs are fir
ed,at last the aviator hits his mark and
the fort is blown to pieces.
This battle will be staged twice
daily and in the event OF rain, the con-
tract requires the aviator to hold over
and put the show on the following
day. That 1t is a thriller goes without
the exertion of the imagination to any
great extent.
Also the merchants have signed with
the Rice-Quick Amusement company
for a carnival to be staged the two
days mentioned. The attractions will
be a merry-go-round, a negro minstrel,
a vaudeville show and an animal show.
In addition other minor attractions will
be on hand to furnish their part of the
amusement. A program will be work
ed out later
University park will be the scene
of the battle between the fortress and
the aeroplane and the carnival will
probably be staged on the streets in
the business section of the city.
Funds have been raised sufficient to
insure the attractions and committees
are working out the detail of what is
to be the biggest celebration Chicka-
sha has ever attempted.
