DEPOT
ESTABLISHED HERE

The Eckman Chemical company,
with home offices and manufacturing
plant at Omaha, Nebraska, has estab-
lished a distributing depot in Chicka-
sha. The depot has been opened at
12S Chickasha avenue, one door west
OF the Cheaney hotel, and will be in
charge of w. NJ. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips comes to Chickasha
from Cordell, where his company has
a large distributing station. He is ac-
companied by his wife and will make
Chickasha his home in the future.
Mr. Phillips stated this morning that
his company already had distributing
stations at Cordell and Pauls Valley
but proposed on account of railway
facilities and other conditions, to
make Chickasha one of the largest
stations in the state. The company
manufactures and sells full line of
stock remedies, making speciality of
its preparation for hog diseases.

London, May s.--By mail.)-The
best cheered man in England is Sir
John Jellicoe
The silent little admiral who sits
ON the British navy lid is today Eng
lands most popular hero.
This message comes from the Brit
ish movie theatres---a reliable barom-
eter OF public sentiment.
Lord Kitchener's face on the screen
always gets "a hand"
Sir John French is sometimes
cheered.
Murmurs Of probable admiration
roll through the audiences when Sir
Douglas Haig, Sir Charles Monroe or
other British generals in the field
show up.
Members OF the cabinet are met
with approval always, but no loud
demonstrations
President Wilson and American not
ables are greeted silently.

to verden. The officer had with him,

whisky to Verden and transporting it

Now the entire party, peace Off

Have you ever heard Of an ultra

vivals while sleeping, disturbs the

education lacks the finishing touches

would be apt TO answer the above

he would be wrong He might think
of the matter as the Irishman thought
Of the giraffe, that there amt no

wrong. For there was and there is
such an animal and he lives in Chick

Baird. if you please.
Now, Baird may have wandered far
from the path in which his first hes

may have gazed upon the sinful side

the blushing peach wooed him from it's

Another turn of the reel and with
a gasping snore and a strangling snort
Baird passed further back into the

LEWIS IS WINNER
OVER IVAN L|N0W
Russtan Twists Neck As Kentuclxian
Gains FAN and Is Carried to
Hospital.

After eighty-two minutes OF Crap
plirg on the mat at Broad-Street
Baseball Park last night. the bout be-
tween Edward Lewis and Ivan Linow
came to an abrupt end when the
Kentuckian. in gaining his first fall
over the Cossack. accidentally twisted
the latter's neck. which prevented him
from returning to the mat for the
second period. Lnow was removed
TO the Memorial Hospital following
the fall
Lewis gained the fall after wrest-
ling one hour and twenty-five min
utes with a flying deadlock. Lewis
got the wicket hold on his opponent
before the thousands of enthusiasts
hardly realized what was taking place.
Only a few seconds had elapsed after
the Kentuckian had secured the hold
on the Russian before the latters
shoulders had been pinned to the
mat After the fall Lnow appeared
dazed and for time he was unable
10 arise from the mat. However, with
some assistance he was taken to his
dressing room. where he was examin
ed by three physicians Although he
asked to be permitted to return to the
mat for the second fall, the physicians
advised him to abandon the idea, de-
clar,ng that he was physically UNIT
TO resume the match. Following the
doctors decision announcement was
made TO the effect that the Cossack
would be unable to return to the mat
and the match was awarded to Lewis
7, was said Mt the hospital that the
Russians neck Is twisted. but that the
accide nt Is not Of a serious nature.
Even though the match was brought
to a close before the two falls were
secured. the people got their moneys
worth OF real graphing. The two
wrestlers are apparently more evenly
matched than any two who have ever
appeared on the mat here since the
game was revived in Richmond.
Linow Is one OF the most powerful
men before the American public to-
day. but even this great strength Is
unable to cope with the "strangier's"
science.
Lewis took things easy for tho first
hour. but the last twenty-five minutes
the going was about as fast and
furious as has been seen here this
wear Lewis played a defensive game
almost throughout the match, and
managed to worm out of some bad
holds.
