Arrested on Charge
of Being a Stacker;
Worley Makes Catch

Frank Wright believed by Off
GERS to be an all around bad man,

United States Marshal Dick Worley,
twenty-six miles east of Duncan. af-
ter having been hunted for more
than three months AT present he Is
charged with being a Stacker" but
officers express the opinion that he

FIRE CHIEF
in WARNING
OF DANGER
Tells Of Ways Christmas Blazes May
Start; Asks PecpIe Ess CauliOn
Bar Candles

A warning was issued this morning
by George Gattis, chief of the fire
department, relative to the use Of
candles and inflammable and com
bustible matter in Christmas deco
rations, in the stores and in the
homes or wherever Christmas trees
are given. Also putting candles in
windows to illuminate Red Cross
signs.
Chief Gattis said: II notice some
thing has been said In the papers
asking the people to place Red Cross
cards in their windows and illumi-
nate them with candles. While do
not want to do anything to hinder
the work Of this organization, want
to ask the people not to put candles
in the windows as more fires are
caused in this way than most any
other. The materials Of which the
curtains are made is very easy to
catch on fire and they are liable at
any time to be flirted on a lighted
candle in tho window and in that
vay start a fire that may prove ex-
ceedingly disatrous. If these Red
Cross signs are to be illuminated,
as believ they should be, let it be
done with nothing other than cleo
tric lights.
"This would also apply to those
places wherever Christmas programs
are to be given. Be sure and not
use any cotton or like material in
your decorations. Where any one
is going to act the part Of Santa
Claus be sure that there is no fire
near and do not light any matches
near a person dressed in such garb
as you may be the cause Of that per
son losing HIS life because OF burns
sustained by your indiscretion.
.Remember that there are several
places that are going to be giving
Christmas programs at the same
time, and than fires are liable 70
break out at any OF the places al
the same time and the department
would not be able to attend them all
SO especial care must be taken by
all to see that nothing like this oc-
ours"

ALL BANKS
NOW SELL
BABY BONDS

You can now purchase your thrift
stamps from any Of the Chickasha
banks. They were placed on sale
this morning by the five local banks,
the Citizens National the First MAJ
tional, the Chiclasha National, the
Oklahoma National, and the Far
mers State.
This action Of the bankers is pure
" one OF patriotism. They purchase
the thrift stamps from the post office
and sell them to their customers at
exactly the ssme figure. You can
purchase from the banks any Of the
denominations from 25 cents to $4.1z
and it is being strongly urged by
the war savings committee that these
stamps be purchased and given as
Christmas presents. Many Of the
firms in Chickasha that ordinarily
give their employees cash presents
on Christmas, are this year giving
them the war savings stamps.
The sale in Chickasha has been
good. Postmaster Barefoot states
that people from every walk Of life
are taking advantage of the oppor.
tunity to purchase these 'baby
bonds The sales at the post office
yesterday amounted to $500, which
is the high mark set since the stamps
we're put on sale.

He had been going into this place
in the day time. At night he would
come out OF this hiding place and
get some fresh air After looking
about the house we found the most
ingenious device for quick hiding

been cut out in the springs OF the
bed so that by touching a spring he
could release himself and fall
through the bed and on through the
floor into this hiding pit His wife
could then throw the mattress or
quilt back oyer the bed and no one
could tell where he was.
"He has been going under three
different names. At some places he
gave his name as Frank May. while
at another he went under the name
Of Frank Leroy, but we know that
his correct name is Frank Wright"

Local Men Talk.
After Mr.. Tally had finished his
address the new master mechanic
for this division was called upon for
short talk IN which he appealed to
the men to do all they could to save
material and to do their work well

possible in these strenuous times.
