TO ANSWER
TO CHARGE
OF MURDER
Grady Sheriff Goes After AL
legged Slayer of Scott Who
Was Killed Here While
Guarding Prisoner.

Matt Sankey, sheriff Of Grady
county leaves this afternoon for
Jasper Ala, for the purpose Of
bringing Virgil Kittrell, deserter
from the army post at Fort Sill, to
Chickasha, where he must answer
to charge of murder for the al
legged killing of Sam Scott, former
assistant chief of police.
The facts in the case are that
Scott was shot on the evening of
September 20, after officers had at
tempted to arrest two soldiers near
the Rock Island bridge in the north
end of the yards. One man was
caught and the other ran the Off
GERS being unable to catch him.
Scott was left in charge of the man
caught and had only started on his
way to the city jail with the prison
CT WESu H6 MdS SuOl III LuS DotSh'
The prisoner made his escape.
Scott died in the Chickasha hospi-
tai on October A.
A diligent search on the part of
the officers located Fred Woodall,
partner of Kittrell and he was later
taken back to Fort Sill, but Kittrell
was not caught until he had landed
in Alabama where he was nabbed
on a burglary charge.
Some hesitancy was shown by the
Alabama officers at the outset in
turning their prisoner to the Grady
county officials as he was wanted
in that state, but they have given
their full consent and Mr.. Sankey is
armed with extradition papers, nee
essary to force Kittrelrs delivery to
the Grady sheriff.

MERCHANT
READY FOR
DOLLAR DAY
Buying Public Is to Be Offered
Bargains at All Stores Mon
day; Practice To Be Made
Permanent.

Everything is in readiness for Dol
lar Day, set for Monday, B. G. Gar
vey, member of the committee ap-
pointed from the Retail Merchants
association, said this morning.
Dollar Day has been given wide
publicity, and from 40 to so of the To-
cal stores have joined in the move
ment to make the bargain day a sue
cess. Included in this list of stores,
Mr. Garvey states, are retailers deal
ing in every kind and nature of
goods, and bargains in every neces-
sity can be had by shoppers in this
city Monday.
"Grocers, dry goods dealers, hard
ware stores, furniture stores, drug
stores, department stores, etc, will
on Dollar Day offer at greatly re-
duced prices, many Of thee ssentials
of the home" Mr. Garvey declares.
"The reductions will range from
83 1-3 to so per cent. Bargain coun-
ters will be overtaxed, and every in
ducement for the farmer as well as
others, to trade at home will be Of
fered. Chickasha merchants carry
first class goods, and these goods
will be marked far below the regular
price on Dollar Day, which will be
a feature the first Monday in every
month during 1919
prices will be especially reduced
as much as possible until the Dollar
Day movement becomes well estab-
lished."
Officers Of the Retail Merchants
association contemplate a glowing
success for the initial Dollar Day
this year.
