ON BICYCLE

As a result of most peculiar ac-
cident yesterday evening George
Bright, the nine-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Bright, S2S South Third
street, met with injuries which might
easily have proven most serious.
George, and his brother Charles,
were riding north on Seventh street on
bicycles when an automobile passed
them. A boy whose name could not
be learned, either attempted to swing
on to the auto, which is alleged to
have been travelling at a good rate of
speed, or to jump off its running
board. At any rate this boy in swing
ing away from the auto came directly
in front of George and his bicycle. The
collision was unavoidable. Georges

parents phoned and later he was re-

bruised and shaken and remained in
an unconscious condition for several
hours.
This morning the boys father stated,
he seemed all right, but was very
sore from the bruises. When asked
how the accident happened the little
fellow is said to have stated that he
did not know; that the other boy

BOXER BOB WILLIAMS
TO ARRIVE TONIGHT

Bob Williams, the heavyweight
boxer of Dallas, Texas, will arrive in
Chickasha this afternoon, preliminary
to meeting Tate, the Battling Texan"
Monday night in ten round bout at
the Athletic associations club rooms.
Williams will work out tonight at the
Sugg theatre, meeting in the workout
17O pound all round athlete from
Akron, Ohio. A wire received this
morning from Williams trainer states
that he has been training hard and
that he will be found in fine fettle
when the gong taps on the opening
round Monday night.
This afternoon Texas Tate worked
out before a large crowd at the Kozy.
The big man showed himself to be in
fine shape. That he has trained hard,
but not too hard was shown in the
manner in which his big muscles
flashed and played beneath the velvet
skin.
Tate has been training for the past
several days to meet the man whom he
fought to a draw in a ten round bout
the third time he (Tate) ever entered
the ring. Opinion is about equally
divided among the Chickasha fight
fans as to whether Tate or Williams
will be the victor. Williams out
weighs Tate, but Tate is the less beefy
of the two, running more to sinew and
muscle. Neither las the advantage
in reach and Tate is backed by the
confidence that he will win, firmly
believing that he will be able to sing
the lullaby to Williams before the
crashing of the gong on the last round

gratitude to ''the best mother who ever
lived" on which we should be with
her If we can, and, If we unfortu-

of sending her a message of affection

foster the observance of Mothers Day,
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has provided special telegraph
blanks, appropriately decorated with
an artistic design of carnations and
bearing the legend Mothers Doy," on
which all messages of those who wish
TO send a word of greeting to their
mothers on this occasion, by day let

gram, will be delivered.
The emblem of the day is the white
