CHICkASHA HAD NO INTEREST
IN SELECTING COMMISSIONER
FROM SOUTH GRADY DISTRICT

"Such an expression is wholly un'
called for and we can see no reason
why NARROW should be SO concerned
in the political affairs of Grady
county.
"Chickasha had no preferred in
terest in any particular candidate in
the recent primary election, espe-
cially insofar as the race for county
commissioner from the southern
district was concerned. | do not
believe that any element or class in
the city of Chickasha endeavored TO
influence the voters in the southern
part of the county. Chickasha had
no preference in the race and was
perfectly satisfied to leave the mat
ter of selecting a county commits
sioner in the hands of the voters of
the district.
1T is very apparent that the Mar
low newspaper is endeavoring to
create animosity in the minds of the
citizens of southern Grady county
We are confident that the good
Judgment and common sense of the
citizens of Grady county will not be
so easily influenced"

Real action has started in the
Nichlos area on what operators be-
lieve will develop into steady
drilling campaign.
The Nichlos No. 2, Farwell, has
spudded and other operators are
moving in tools for new tests. Mr..
Nichlos will run double tower and
will make as much headway as pos
sible. He expects hard digging for
matter of $50 feet, after which
the going will be easy to around
1900 feet, according to the log of the
discovery well.
AT around 1900 rat-tailing and
core -barreling will be the order un-
til they have passed through the
Nichlos sand, the bottom of which,
as far as they know, is 1871 feet.
1t is believed that the sand will
run to a deeper level, as in the
original well, they stopped with the
bit still in the sand.
The interesting part of the second
test, will be whether or not the
gas sand is underlaid Immediately
by an oil sand, oil men say. Some
believe that they will pick up an
oil sand just below the gas. Others
think that they will be compelled
to 60 to a deeper level, perhaps

For the present laws covering in.

and with conspiracy and violence

said, declaring that he would invoke
those laws, both civil and criminal,
against all offenders alike"
The president served warning that
the war to crush labor unionism in
this country must cease. The gov.
ernment will have no hand in it, he
declared, asserting with emphasis
that future legislation must be free
from any such element, Just as 1t
must be free from any attempt of
labor to impose class domination
on the country
Government by law must and
will be sustained" the president
said, coupling with that statement
his pledge to use all the govern
ments power to that end.
Harding manifested deep facing in
speaking of the Herrin massacre to
which he referred as a blot on the
national shield. The federal govern.
ments present pitable impotence to
deal with such situation must be
remedied, he said declaring that
such unutterable crimes must not
be allowed to go unpublished, no
matter where, by whom, or in whose
name committed.
A reorganization of the coal in
dustry is necessary. the executive
said, asserting that there are 100000
more miners in the fields than are
necessary to produce in continuous
employment tho needed supply Of
coal.
The president sharply rebuked the
railroads for ignoring the decision
Of the railroad labor board, but said
the workers remedy was not "seek7,
ing to paralyze interstate COM
merce."
He strongly urged restoration Of
seniority to the striking shopmeu
when he said when strikes have
been settled, seniority has been re-
stored"

NINE HURT WHEN
CAR IS WRECKED
High Speed Line at Niagra Falls
Piles up Three-car Train When
Runs Into Dynamite ExcaVa-
tion Last Night.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 1S.--Nine per
sons were injured last night when a
three car train of the Niagara Falls
high speed line ran into an excaya-
tion caused by a dynamite explosion
three miles north of the city.
The high speed line is an interur-
ban trolly operating between Niagara
Falls and Buffalo. This is one of
the lines belonging to the Interna-
tional Railway company the employees
of which have been on strike for
over seven weeks. The condition of
none is considered serious.
About thirty other passengers on
the train were shaken up The first
car of the train skidded 100 feet
across the tracks after the accident,
blocking both tracks. The second
crashed into the first, and the third
hit the hole and turned on its side.
The passengers were thrown into a
panic.
Paul II. Oldge who resides at El-
wood, scene of the wreck, said he
heard an explosion as he was eating
a late lunch.
Deputy Sheriff Fred II. Grist, who
was on the scene shortly after the
accident, found a bag Of dynamite
at the side of the north bound track
and twenty more sticks along the
south bound rails He also dis
covered piece of rail thrown five
hundred feet from the road bed.
Grist later found a farmer who
had seen four men "puttering
around the tracks.
The International railway offered
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction
of the persons who dynamited the
trains.
Officials of the company announced
that fifty sticks of dynamite had
been found on the track leading
into Buffalo after the explosion and
that another train loaded with
passengers was tagged just in time
to prevent another serious accident

The president recommended imme-
date provision for temporary ma
tional coal agency with needed capi-
tai to purchase, sell and distribute

threatened paralysis of Transports
tion."
