dom from the returns of the vari-
GUS committees.

furnish the soliciting committees
with the names of all the individ-
uals who would be members of the
Chamber of Commerce, or would
want to become members.
The secretary stated that because

that the G. of C. does not want that
individual as member of the organ

that The Chamber of Commerce is an
organization for the benefit of not
only the business firms of the city,
but of the citizenship as well and
that the membership is open for
every Chickasha booster
1t was asked that those who had
not been called upon, but who de-
sired to become members of the
organization get in touch with the
office or with some of the solicit
ing committees and their names
would be listed.

Richard Bullock known as Dead

England, some eighty years ago. At
the age of twenty-one he came to
America and at length drifted to the
West For while he worked in the
mines in the Black HIN country. At
that time miners there were greatly
discouraged and veXpd by the unusual
activity of bandits Desperadoes OPP
Grating Individually and in groups
were holding up stages running be-
tween the mining country and the
settlements IN the East with such reg

Bullock saw in this situation an op-

and himself. too, to earn good live
lihood and to enjoy no end of thrills
and adventures. SO he laid away his
pick and shovel armed himself with
q wicl;ed-ooSing gun and embarked in
the business of hunting road agents"
