MRS. CHANCELLOR SUFFERS
AMPUTATION OF ARM

Mrs. James Chancellor, who has
been very i'll for long time, sui,
fering from blood poisoning, and
whose lie has been despaired OF sew
eral times, underwent the amputa-
ton of one of her arms this fore
noon at the Hardy sanitarium. She
passed through the ordeal well and
there is now promise OF her recov-
cry. Her fingers, hand and wrist had
been operated upon with a hope OF
stopping the infection, but IT was
decided by the physicians that 1t was
necessary to amputate the arm near
the shoulder, in healthy flesh, and
thev believed this would be the
means of saving her life. News OF
the death of her son, Marion l.
Chancellor, who died last night, was
kept from her until the operation
was over.

WHISKY RUNNERS
EVADE SHERIFF

Last night Sheriff Buck Garrett
got tip that there was whisky car
on the road from Louisiana, coming
toward Ardmore. About o'clock he
went, with Deputy Bud Ballew and
Policeman John Dyer, TO the forks
of the road south OF the cemetery
and soon they saw two cars coming,
one on each road. Policeman Dyer
went on one road and found the car
was filled with women and children.
About that time Sheriff Garrett and
Deputy Ballew heard the car on the
other road change gear and It shot
past them at a speed the sheriff said
seemed to him 90 miles an hour
They jumped into Deputy Ballews S
Franklin roadster, but the machine
being cold, it was slow i'll starting,
but they were soon gaining on the
car when the occupants began to
throw out sacks containing bottles
OF whisky and then throwing out
and breaking single bottles, with
view to cutting the tires OF the pur-
suing car, and with the result that
the sheriff and his deputy had to
slow down and drive carefully to
avoid the glass in the road, and the
whisky car got away and into the
city.
The officers then made a search
for all the men who have been for
merlv arrested for running whisky
and found all OF them and all their
cars. and learned that they had not
been out of the city.
Later, on the road to Bcrwyn near
the Holloway store, they found some
campers, who said large car going
at good speed, had passed there and
that one of the side curtains was
hanging down. This corresponded
with the description OF the car they
had chased into the city. Sheriff
Garrett is of the opinion that the
persons driving the car were not
from Ardmore, but were passing
through here headed for some other
point.
While being chased by the officers
the occupants of the whisky car
threw out altogether about five cases
of whisky, probably sixty quarts, but
most of it was broken.

Ardmore Man Tells Of
Progress of State Banks

The feature OF the meeting OF the
sixth annual convention OF the
State Bankers Association OF Okla
homa at Oklahoma City yesterday
was the report OF the treasurer OF
the state banking board, p. {. Dings,
OF this city. Mr.. Dings furnished
indisputable proof OF the accom-
plishments OF the board in the past
four years and OF the excellent re-
suits which have been obtained dur
ing the untiring service OF J. d.
Landlord, state bank commissioner,
who has served in this capacity the
past eight years.
Mr.. Dings pointed out that on
December II, 1914, the guaranty
fund Indebtedness amounted 10
SS26,744.25 and that on December
10, 1918, just four years later, this
indebtedness, less cash on hand,
had been reduced to $96,S65.O4.
Another evidence OF the progress
made by the state banks and the
popularity of the system is afford
ed by the further fact that in De-
cember. 1914, there were 557 state
banks with total deposits OF S4S,-
45S,OO0, while December, 1913, finds
a total of 583 state banks with de-
posts approximating $l22, 100000.
