CORN CROP
THIS YEAR
Better Than Average Crop Begins to Be
UnlOaded in Chickasha a Month
Earlier than Last Year

That the size of the corn crop was
welcomed surprise to farmers in
Washita valley was the assertion
this morning OF J. NJ. Peters, cora
buyer, who has already received many
wagon loads which are being stored
until dry enough for shipment
where farmers figured on between
eighteen and twenty bushels to the
acre they are getting thirty and forty
OF better looking corn than they ex-
pected was possible thirty days ago"
he said. 'While not equal to last
years crop the yield this year will far
exceed the average as the dry weather
did not have as damaging effect as
was feared month ago. The corn
is coming in much earlier than last
year.

Kaspar SOst, Adjudged Insane by Sanity
Board, Tells Story Of Imaginary Griev-
ances and Injustice al Hands (
Of Americans

Declaring that Americai had tried
to persuade him to stab President VIII
son and that he had received bad
treatment from German-American
but had Jared well among Germans
who had come direct from the father
land, Kaspar Sost, the German who
was found half clad and flourishing a
knife at Pocasset, told to the sanity
board this morning story that con-
yinced the members that the mans
mind was deranged
The tale which he unfoldea was sub
stantially the same as that given in
the news columns of the Chickasha
Daily Express on Tuesday. The evil
dence placed before~the board showed
that symptoms of his malady began to
appear about two or three weeks ago,
he having imagined that he was not
being treated we'll by Americans anu
that they had tried to poison him. He
was urged to kill the president but
would not do so, he says, and did not
want to associate with the kind Of
people who made such suggestions.
He wanted to return to his home in
Germany.
sost said he is single, aged n years
and was born in Hollenburg, Austria.
His disease appears to be increasing
in severity according to the decision
of the sanity commission.
The inquiry was conducted by the
board consisting of Judge Davenport
DR.. w. II. Cook and F. 2. Baker, Miss
Minnie Ritterbusch acting as interpfe-
ter.

The citizens of Denison are up m

little better than none at all. The
thain that formerly went north at
1905 p. m. and returned at $40 p. m
was discontinued on Monday of this
week and the train which left for the
north at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
now leaves at the early hour of $3.50
in the morning. The officials OF the

than only make two runs day, and
has been sent to Toledo, and Will

MISS GARRISON IN RECITAL.
Grand Junction, Colo, Newspaper
Speaks Very Highly of Recital
Given by Miss Garrison.

We clip the following from the
Grand Junction, Colo, newspaper
which will be OF interest to Denison
people:
"The recital given by Miss Lillian
Garrison last evening in the Baptist
church was well attended. Her selec-
tions We're highly appreciated by ev-
eryone. Her piece on the 91st Psalm
deserves special mention. Miss Gar
rison has wonderfully sweet voice
and her selections were rare to say the
least. She was accompanied by Miss
Clara Barton, who always presides
with ease and ability as an accompan-
list. The duet by the Misses Maude
Scovill and Mabel Stone was very fine.
Lee Hampton gave two selected read
ings which were enjoyed so much that
he responded with two encores. The
Baptist Auxiliary realized a nice sum
for which they are certainly grateful
to Miss Garrison and to those assist
ing her."
