ny rins thai was set for April g..
Before noon yesterday, a big dele
cation Of verden business men ar
rived in Chickasha in the interests
of Weaver. The party numbered
about 20 and were representative Of
the best citizenship Of Verden. Any
one of the number could have made
the bond required. The bond was
signed by H. X. Ellis o.. e. Nuern-
burger and John Woodall. The only
reason that there were no more
bondsmen is because Justice Bunnell
held that three was enough. All the
Verden men in the delegation want
ed to sign the bond.
Benton Cummins, the man who was
stabbed in the street fight in Yer
den, out Of which grew the proceed
ings lodged against Weaver, proved
to be not so seriously injured as was
at first thought.
When brought to the Chickasho
hospital it was thought that his con.
dition was critical, but after having
the wound dressed and following
nights rest, he was much improved.
He was taken hack to his home in
Verden yesterday and is thought to
be absolutely out OF danger.

birdmen piloted one of the machines
that did special stunts for the crowd
prior to the parade and while it was
in progress. They spied the bank
and having alighted in a field near
town, came at once to investigate.
They happened in just as business
started and not knowing that they
were the first on the job, "dabbed
down" all their loose change in Baby
Bonds.
From the opening the doors of the
bank did a rushing business all day.
Col Dwyer and Maurice Smith were
as busy as soda jerkers AT a picnic
making sales of Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps.
Owing to the heavy rain Of yester.
day afternoon, the bank did not pre-
sent the finished appearance that was
intended.
1t was possible to cover the dupli-
cate British tank with but one coat
Of paint. Also, the British, French
and Italian flags ordered for the oe-
casion did not arrive in time to be
hoisted on the staffs with Old Glory.

stitution of Chickasha until the war
