BAD CHECKS
COME BACK
TO BANKS

A check artist has been making
some easy money in Chickasha and vi
cinity during the past two weeks and
as far as is known is still at his game.
The man came to Chickasha about ten
days ago, cashing a check on an El
Reno bank and signed by a supposedly
firm of that city, at a local store.
There was nothing to excite suspicion
until the check was returned to Chick
asha today after having been sent to
Kansas City and thence to Ell Reno,
with the statement that no such firm
had an account at the bank drawn on.
The next chapter OF the story m
which the dexterous fingered nero oc-
ours is staged in Lawton the first of
this week, where he cashed two
checks on the First National bank of
this city and one on the Chickasha Ma
tional. These were returned to Chick
asha yesterday. The checks were
made out to II. f. Brown and II. +.
Moore and bore the rubber stamp sig
natures of Langdon Co., Morrison
Produce Co., and Morrison Co.
All of these checks were for less
than $40. the disburser of the paper

of any Of his victims by
trying to get a larger sum. 1t is stat
ed that in one or two Instances he Of

of it will be ready for cutting the last
of the week. The oats crop has not
done well. Alfalfa has flourished and
there is a net increase of about 10000
acres in the amount of land devoted
to this crop. Nearly every farmer in
the county has planted some sure
feed" crops, Mr. Cooper stated A
large acreage of melons has been
planted. While there will be practi-
cally no apples or peaches, berries,
cherries and grapes promise well.
Mr.. Cooper further stated that, barr
ing the invasion of the corn fields by
rats, pests are giving little trouble.
In few instances greenbugs and
chinch bugs, also a nsw type of in
sect, known as the false chinchbug,
have been operating but the damage
has been confined to a few fields. Mr.
Cooper said the government was send
ing serum TO inocuate the rats, as
result of which this pest should be
under control within a month
As a result of the vaccination move
ment and the taking of sanitary meas
ures, Mr.. Cooper said hog cholera had
practically been wiped out in the
county, only two cases having been
recently reported.

NORCECIVE
BIG PICNIC
All Day Session Of Improvement Club
Held with Fine Feed as Feature;
Instructive Addresses are
Delivered

The big picnic given by the ladies'
Improvement club of the Norge dis
trict, yesterday, was highly successful,
according to reports from those at
tending from Chickasha. The all day
session of which the feed" was the
main feature was held at the Banner
school house. about four miles south
west of Norge, with a splendid repre-
sentative crowd in attendance.
A program of unusual interest had
been arranged, County Superintend-
ent NJ. II. Shepard speaking first on
the betterment Of the community from
the standpoint of the schools. Miss
Emma Chandler, state agent in charge
of the girls clubs, then made prac-
tical and entertaining address on club
work. Miss Chandler had with her
numerous labor saving devices and
illustrations of many others, all OF
which were of great interest to the
many housekeepers present. She
showed the latest arrangements in
ironing boards and work tables, and
gave a minute description of the new
iceless refrigerator telling how il
could be made.
In a talk following by Mrs. Coryell
the speaker demonstrated the home
made fireless cooker. Before leaving
for the picnic grounds, Mrs. Coryel
had put some meat in the cooker, and
the well cooked meat was part of the
picnic dinner. Mrs. Coryell told how
the economical cooker could be easily
made at home.

o. c. Cooper on community club worl

TO MEET
TONIGHT

The city council will hold its regular
meeting this evening, conyening at
1870 o'clock.
The session promises to be a brief
one, as little of importance is expect
ed to show up. The matter of the APP
pointment of motorcycle policeman
will probably be reported to the board
by the members of the police commit
tee. 1t is understood that the commit
tee will report favorably upon this
proposition. with the possible recon-
mendation that an officer owning his
own motorcycle be added to the force.
The matter of condemning and clos
ing the alley intersecting the property
upon which the junior high school
building is to be erected, will also
come before the board 1t is almost
certain that the required order will
be made
1t is also understood that Police
Chief Phillips will report that a quiet
lot of pussy-footing done during the
past several nights by himself and
number of his officers, will show that
the general auto-owning public are
now prone to obey the mandates of
the traffic and speed ordinances.
Chief Phillips has had officers plant
ed@ at different parts of the city for
the past several nights holding cases"
on all autos and the findings seem to
show that reckless driving seems to
have been reduced to the minimum,
especially of evenings.
The approval of bonds of new SER
vice car drivers win be about all of
the other business, outside the regu-
lar routine which may be expected to
come before the council tonight.

Berlin, May 25.-The bloodiest
fighting in the history 4 the world is
in progress as the giant German nut
cracker" closes in on the right jaw
of verdun.
The Germans advanced along a three
mile front northwest of the fortress
and the French finally evacuated the
entire Deadman's Hill position after
sacrificing over a whole army corps
in vain efforts to hold their ground.
The Germans have not yet occupied
all of the abandoned works as the
French artillery is sweeping over the
southern ridges of the hill
The French and Germans are jointly
holding Hill No. 3O4 and further adj
vances in the ravines will force the
French to abandon that position also
before the advance of the German
right wing which occupied Cumieres.
1t is estimated that thirty thousand
men are already under ground, vic
Tins of the carnage of the past seven
ty-two hours about Douamont while
thousands of wounded are lying
strewn along the western approaches
on the field which is swept by wither-
ing cross-fire.
It is authoritatively denied that the
French re-occupied Fort Douamont as
they claim. One force penetrated the
interior of the ruins but the Germans
annihilated them.
