PROVES BE MAN
OFFICERS WANT

"W. T. Mitchell" the alleged hot
check artist who slipped a pair of
Bradley merchants some bogus paper
and who later was landed in the
Chickasha Jail, was welcomed by
county officers this morning with
open arms.
The cause of this welcoming
"home' business is due to the fact
that Mitchell is none other than
the long lost W. O. Philley, wanted
in this county on charge of dis
posing Of mortgaged property. A
warrant for his arrest has been in
the hands of the sheriff for several
weeks, but never trace of the man
could be found.
After being grilled at length this
morning by the sheriff, he admitted
that he is Philley and not mitchell"
which name was signed to the
checks he passed at Bradley He
waived preliminary on the check
charge.
