Sale Of Season Tickets Continues;
Campaign Expected to Start In
Earnest When "Mack" Lands
Back from Meeting.

The campaign of the Chickashl
baseball lfans to put over the sale oi
the required number of season tick
cts continued today with considerable
success according TO reports from
the committee in charge of the work
but with the total number of tickets
reported yet below the 100 mark.
+. r. McGaha, owner of the Chick
asha franchise. was expected to ar
rive in the city today, returning
from the league meeting in Tulsa
With Mack" back in town, the cam
paign for the successful elimination
of the baseball proposition here was
expected to take ON renewed inter.
est and an intensive drive launched
to wind the thing up.
None of those in close touch with
the happenings in Chickasha's base
ball world seemed to have the slight
est doubt concerning the success of
the enterprise.
Why sure we are putting ii
across said one member OF the com.
mittee. I'VE are going to keep af-
ter it until the thing goes over.
There may be a few bigger towns
in the league than Ghickasha. but
there's none better, so why
shouldn't we put it over? It's taking
some effort because the people don't
realize just what it means to have a
league team here. predict that
Chickasha will never be without a
league baseball team once the peo-
pie get taste of that brand of ball >"

Steel Bridge Between Lucille and
Alex, Opening Direct Route
to Rich Territory.
WORK TO START WITHIN
30 DAYS; FINISH BY SEPT.
viii Make Short Cut to Alex, Brad
ley, Lindsay; Eliminate "Hill
Road" Now in Use; Board
Handles Routine Business.

In session at the court house yes
terday afternoon, the commissioners
Of Grady county awarded a contract
to the Midland Bridge company o.
Kansas City for bridge to span the
Washita river between Lucille and
Halco, the price named in the sue
cessfnl bid being $9,997
The bridge, according to the spec
ifications, is to be of steel construc.
ton, 100 feet in length by 1G feet
in width. Work is to start on the
bridge within 30 days from the Ga.o
of the contract and it is to be com
pleted on or before September /,
1920.
The exact location Of the bridge
as to section, range and township is
between sections 20 and PIGS.
This bridge has been. in prospect
for several months and its compile
ton will open up a fond tapping
some of the richest cohntry in the
Washita valley. AT the present time
travellers between ChiEkasha and
Alex have been compelled to bo gy
way of Ninnekah, or a mile east of
that town over a hilly road that is
usually in none too good condition
WITH the bridge across the Washita
alta the point indicated, The distance
between Alex and Chickasha win be
shortened by several miles and the
rcld will be practically free from
hills.
Much work has already been done
on the road between Chickasha and
Lucille and in fact to a point not far
from the bridge site. The road is a
regular township highway on which
the township funds may be used, In
addition, farmers living along the
route have pledged considerable do
nation work in order to bring the
road up to standard County Off
cials believe that by the time the
bridge is complete there will be a
good rold from Alex to Chickasha.
1t is pointed out by boosters for
this road that it does not by any
means stop at Alex. Beyond Alex
is Bradley, Lindsay, Mayesville and
Pauls Valley all located practically
in the famous NVashita valley and
road men state that this is destined
to be one of the main ro1ds in this
section of the state.
Aside from the awarding of this
bridge contract the commissioners
transacted their regular routine bus
mess, auditing and allowing claims
against the county, including the sal
aries of the county's hired hands

IN STILL CASES
BY FEDERAL MEN

been made in connection with the
two moonshine" stills which Grady
county and federal officers unearth-
ed at the home of George Freeman,
near Cement, and on the farm be-
longing to Mr.. Walters four miles
east and two miles south OF Chicka-
sha, recently.
In the first case, George Freeman
was confined to his bed with influ-
enza when the still parts were dis
covered and it was thought by tine
county officers that his condition
would not permit his removal to
Chickasha, where he would have
either been required to make bond
or have been committed to Jail La
ter, after the matter had been turn
ed over to federal authorities for
handling, when officers again went
to Freemans home to make the ar
rest, the man had disappeared and
has not been located since.
1t is not definitely known to whom
the three barrels of mash and tde
accoutrements necessary for manu-.
featuring red eye" which were
found in a two room house on the
Walters farm belonged. The house,

GERS have been looking for Walter
Phillips, who was reported to be the
occupant of the building. No clue as
to his whereabouts has yet beet
found.
