is HELD FOR GRAND
JURY BY HAMILTON
Confined in Chickasha Jail Till Monday
Pending Efforts to Furnish $500
Bond; Bill Boosting is Bit Of
BunglesOme Work

According to the evidence brought
forth at his hearing yesterday after
noon before United States Commits
sioner Eugene Hamilton, A. H. Gibbs
who claims to reside 51h miles south
east of Alex, imagined he could give
Uncle Samueps government cards and
spades and big and little casino and
four aces end all the photograph cards
in the matter of making money.
Gibbs must have been, in former
years, race track follower. At any
rate he played 'em straight and for
their places and made it ten to one
shot each time. He did this, it is al
ieged, by raising a modest one dollar
bill to ten dollar william. Ard
the winner came in length ahead I'M
der the wire until Gibbs placed bet
with Columbus Sansing, cle.'k in a
store over about Alex.
After Gibbs had bought dimes
worth OF "keen spittin' tobacco from
Sansing and paid him with a ten spot
which had been raised from one and
received $3.50 change. took the Vinegar
Valley limited for Lindsay ANA Sang
s:rg found out he had been stung.
Sangsing Immediately called up Deputy
Jim Dillon of the United States mar
shal's office, and sang-sung to him his
tale of wee
1t was then that the beginning of
the end began for Gibbs. When Deputy
Dillon received Sangsing's message it
was too late for him to catch the Lind
say Independent. so he caused Tho
wires to sing with message to Deputy
Garland Of the sheri*fs office cf "ar
vim county and the deputy took Gibbs
undrr his wing and brought him over
to Chickasha and delivered him to
deputy Dillon who in turn had hin,
locked IN the county Jail Of Grady
county, pending his hearing before
Commissioner Hamilton.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, Judge Hamilton decided
that Gibbs should be held to the fed
eral grand jury in the sum of $500
The commissioner ordered Gibbs COM
mitted to the jail at Muskogee, but the
order permits him to be held in the
Chickasha Jail until Monday pending
an effort upon his part to make the re
quired bond.
A. H. Gibbs, the defendant claims
to hail from somewhere or other in
Texas. He has, he says been making
his home with brother-in-law, Bill
Wilson, who resides near Alex. De
fendant denied having Intentionally
passed a raised bill on Sangsing. lie
said he received the bill from Cash
ier Wasson Of the bank at Alex. Cash
Ter Wasson appeared before the corr
missioner and told different story
Gibbs then stated he had changed a
ten dollar bill for a stranger on the
train between Alex and Lindsay and
said he might have received the bill
from him.
| The raised bill is in possession of
the federal authorities. 1t is very
crude affair and the work Of raising
has been done in a most bunglesome
manner.

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
At PLAZA JULY 4TH

The Fourth of July program at the
Plaza theater today is one to inspire the
patriotism of every movie fan that sees
the great picture. PRO Patria" is the
title of the pictured story, and Valde-
mar Psilander is the star assisted by
the greatest cast of motion picture ar
lists that has ever been gathered to-
gether by the Great Northern Film
company for the entertainment of the
millions who seek amusement and in
struction from the great cinema. PRO
Patria" deals with nation in arms to
defend itself, and the battles that come
in consequence. For his native land"
is the literal translation of the term.
The picture abounds in spectacular bat
tie scenes, and is replete with thrilling
adventures. The battle scenes might
well have been taken in Europe during
the present struggle, so realistic are
they. The scenes in the hospitals are
so nearly like those that actually occur
that they could be taken for them.
Scenes of carnage have been simulated
with a wonderful degree of eXactness.
The greatest wonder is that so few Of
the movie actors and actresses are I'M
hurt after the work of posing for such
pictures. Throughout tae picture there
charm to the war spectacle. Those
who have been seeing this great picture
on the coast for the past two weeks are
! loud in their praise of it. 1t will bt
| shown at the Plaza today only.

DELEGATES ON
WAY To NORTH

Many of the delegates to the Republi-
July 9Th have already gone there to be
present at the opening of the Fourth of
July festivities today. Just what will
happen at the convention beyond MAX
ing preparation for the campaign is
uncertain Delegates from Maricopa
and those from such delegations as
have come from the south say there is
no doubt that Thomas Campbell will
be the republican nominee for COVER
nor. Such opposition as has manifested
itself against him has apparently been
abandoned. 1t will make very little diff
ference, said several of the delegates
whether the convention endorses Mr..
Campbell or not; there will, in all
probability. he no other name before
the republican voters at the primaries.
AS 10 the candidates for the United
/ States senatorial nomination, the sit
uation appears to be a little more COM
( plicated. A majority of the delegates
J from this county. and from the south
/ ern counties so far heard from, are
said to be in favor of Judge kibbey.
/ Announcement was made yesterday of
Z the candidacy of Judge w. H. Stillwell
/ of this city. Other announced candi-
I dates are DR.. Pcrcival Lowell, of Coco
nino county, and Hon. Robert e. Morri
son, Of Prescott, though it was recently
stated that Mr.. Morrison would not
press his candidacy.
A letter has been received from Hon.
Ralph CGmfrOn, who is now i'll the east,
that he would 90 before the people at
the primaries and that he would return
with d campaign fund which would en-
able him to present his claims in a
manner that would compel attention. 1t
is possible that the convention will be
asked to make no expression of its
preference of any of the candidates for
this office. on the ground that in the
end the choice must be made by the
people.
The name of Hon f. s. Clark has
been quite widely mentioned in con-
nection with the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, but it is stated that it will not
be presented. An effort will be made
to persuade Mr.. Clark to become a
candidate for the office of attorney
general. As to candidates for the Other
state offices, delegates say there has
been little or no discussion, but it is
; hoped that before the adjournment o.
the convention there may be the out.
line of a fill state ticket.
