Death Claims D. H. SigmOn, Head of Large
Furniture Concern, After Brief Illness;
Funeral Services Held
Today
BROTHER ARRIVES
BEFORE END COMES
Reaches Bedside iu Time to Be Recrgnned;
Deceased Native Of North Carolina;
Had Lived Here Since
1904 Year

The death Of D. H. Sigmon occurred
at his home in this city at 2:30 o'clock
a. m. Sunday. After a brief illness,
resulting from the effects of diabetes.
Funeral services were conducted at
the residence 1915 Chickasha avenue
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon by Rev.
DR.. Hulten of Oklahoma City, and
interment occurred at Odd Fellows
cemetery.
David Henry Sigmon was born in
Newton, N. c., Sept. 26, 1853, where
he spent his early boyhood. Forty
five years ago he moved to Dallas,
Texas, at which time that city was
only a small town. After a short resi-
dence in Dallas, Mr.. Sigmon moved
to Fort Worth, where he engaged in
the commission business. While in
Fort Worth he was married to Emma
Alice Thornton, Dec. Is, 1878. Four
children were born from this union.
Claude Thornton, William Henry,
Alma (now Mrs. T. L. Bailey, and
Julia (now Mrs. j. William Owsley),
all surviving and living in Chickasha
except the second son, who died Oct.
6, 1912.
From Fort Worth, Mr. Sigmon
moved to Bowie, Texas, where he was
a., ooero5 IN fI,o roto;1 f,,rps+,,~o b,,e;
ness for twenty years. In 1904 he
came to Chickasha, where he had
since been engaged in the furniture
and manufacturing business, in which
he employed large number of men.
Mr.. Sigmon not only occupied
prominent place in the business inter

reasons for seigning as secretary Of
state long before the news was known
elsewhere.
So throughout the year the United
Press wires have brought to tnu
Daily Express beat after beat and
scoop succeeding scoop.
Many people do not seem to under
stand the method by which world
news is gathered and distributed
through the medium of cables and
telegraph wires, and a short explana-
tion may therefore be in order.
Where did you get that?" is a ques-
ton that is often asked when the
Daily Express prints piece of big
news ahead of the morning papers
that reach Chickasha the next day.
The answer is, "The Daily Express
buys it and buys it every day from
the United Press Association" a large
concern that makes a business of get
ting news and distributing it. The
United Press has correspondents in all
parts Of the world and it supplies
daily news for over five hundred after
noon papers, large and small, in the
United States and Canada. The
United Press is one of several sucD
news-gathering agencies and it de-
votes its energies exclusively to the
service of afternoon papers. 1t has
correspondents not only in foreign
lands, but also in every state in the
union, and their duty is to get the
news as soon as possible after the
event happens. The news which the
Express prints originates after the
morning papers in the larger cities
have gone to press and is therefore
distinctly the news of today" Owing
to the difference in time between this
country and Europe, the Daily Elk
press, going to press about $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon is often able
to print news that breaks" in Lon
don late in the afternoon or early in
the evening.
A good illustration of how the Daily
Express prints the news first occurred
last Saturday when the story of the
sinking of the British liner Persia was
told before you read it in any other
paper. The same thing happens every
day. Whenever you see a news story
in the Daily Express marked by
United Press" you may be assured
that it is news never before printed
This news service costs the Daily Ex
press considerable money and it KS
cost more since the war began on ac
count Of the large additional expense
to the United Press of putting wal
correspondents in the field.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The steamer
Glengyle was summarized. 1t was an
nounced by the admiralty today.
The first dispatch that was received
here said about one hundred survivors
had been picked up. 1t is believed
that several lives were lost though no
definite reports are yet available
With the exception of the Lusitania
and the ARABIC, the Glengyle was the
largest British vessel that has been

tons displacement and presumably
carried large crew.
Shortly after the news of the sink.

the word that the Japanese steamer

were saved.

Persia Survivors Tell It.
By United Press.

By United Press.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Jan. 3.-The
surviving officers of the liner Persia
who landed here declare positively
that the steamer was torpedoed. They
ridicule the idea that a mine sent the
liner TO the bottom, with the loss o'
over two hundred lives.
The second officer of the Persia said
he saw the wake OF the torpedo on the
port side OF the vessel just before the
explosion came. No survivors were
found, however, who said they saw
the submarine.
There was no panic on board" said
Leonard Moss. a British survivor.
"The heavy loss of life was due to the
fact that the Persia sank within less
than six minutes and that most of the
passengers were at luncheon at the
time"
Warships and fishing vessels are re-
ported to be searching off Crete for
bodies of those lost on the Persia. It
is believed possible that some of the
passengers may have remained afloat
long enough to be rescued by Greek
trawlers.
