BATHTUB
BURGLAR
IS ABROAD

A bathtub is the latest article to
appeal to the fancy of the burglar
connoisseurs, who have been operat-
ing in this vicinity the past few weeks.
The bath tub was in vacant house
at 72S South Sixth street, owned
by Mrs. Lizzie Lester, and when the
owner visited her property this morn
ing she found it reposing in the front
hall instead of in its proper quarters
in the bath room. The would-be thieves
had torn the tub from the floor,
wrecking the plumbing, and had hauled
Il to the front door, where they were
foiled by an entrance too small to
take it farther.
The lawn mower belonging to viii
Owsley, which was stolen last week
was located Monday in a second hand
store, the thief having gained little
cash from the transaction

BLAZE AT
EARLY HOUR

The No. station of the Chickasha
fire department was called to the res
idence of Fl. Hardiman, 1915 South
Fifth street. at 2:O5 this morning.
When the firemen arrived upon the
scene the house was mass of flames
and seemed to be condemned to total
destruction. However, through hard
work, part of the walls of the build
ing was saved, the roof and one side
wall being destroyed.
The fire is thought to have origT-
mated from cook stove. Mr. Hardi-
mans family were away, he being
alone in the house when the fire broke
out. The cracking of the flames
aroused Mr.. Hardiman from sleep and
he sprang out of bed only to discover
that his home was burning. Running
out of the house Mr.. Hardiman called
for help, arousing nearby neighbors
who phoned the alarm to the depart
ment.
Chief Gattis stated this morning that
the property was said to be fully COW
cred by insurance. A part Of the
household effects were saved.

in Comment

Reports from different sections Of
Grady county state that the first cut
ting of alfalfa will be well under way
with the close of the present week.
From ten days to two weeks dry
weather is hoped for by the alfalfa
raisers. and predictions say that the
crop will yield the biggest first cut
ting returns ever known in this
county.
A number Of new hay balers have
been shipped in and unloaded at
Chickasha. These balers are both the
full-sweep horse power kind and the
belt driven, gas engine equipped. Sew
eral of the larger alfalfa growers are
buying their own balers in order that
they may be in position to take care
of the first crop as fast as the now
ers may cut and their rakes gather
it up.
IN speaking Of the crop conditions
farmer from the Rush Springs neigh
borhood, stated this morning that all
this county needed at the present was
about two weeks continued dry wealth
or. with the warm sunshine OF the pase
few days, to be followed with seas
enable showers, to show the biggest
crop returns this fall in the history
of the county He stated that while
Rush Springs was not in the grain
and the alfalfa belt of Grady, being
more properly a cotton country, yet he
noticed many fields of alfalfa and
young corn in that section. The cotton
acreage of that section of the county.
he said, would be fully three times
as heavy as it was last year.
Commissioner Bryant, who was in
the city Monday and Tuesday attend
ing a meeting of the county board,
said that corn in the big corn belt sur
rounding Pocasset, was growing off
nicely. Mr.. Bryant said that great
deal of the first planting had failed
on account of the continued cold and
wet weather of the early spring, and
that much of 1t had been replanted.
The replanting and the later plant
ings, however. he said, were growing
off nicely and looked most promising.
Similar reports of crop conditions
have been received from the corn sec
ton about Alex, while the alfalfa
fields along the Rock Island and Frisco
seem to be the best known in this
, section.
o. c. Cooper county agent for Grady
county, stated yesterday that he had
never, anywhere, seen finer crop pros
poets than those in evidence this sea-
son in all sections of Grady county.
