Denison high school Yellow
Jackets today prepared for hard
workouts this week in preparation
for their game with Durant prob-
ably here Saturday night at 8:45,
following their disappointing
showing against Greenville last
Friday.
The Durant game was supposed
to have been played here Friday
night, but an Oklahoma Interscho-
lastic league ruling prevents a
contest before Sept. 18th, accord-
ing to Coach Logan Stol enwerck,
following repeated contacts with
"Lefty" Stevens, Rurant mentor.
Stollenwerek and his assistant,
Benny McWilliams, spotting the
weaknesses of their charges
against Greenville, hope to hive
many of them ironed out before
the Lion game this week. Several
changes might be made in the
starting lineup in comparison with
last week, if there were sufficient
reserves capable of he • 'ing down
line and backfield spo s as much
as" those who opened the game
against the Hunt county squad.
An appaling lack of reserve
material has any shakeup move
Stollenwerek may wish to make,
checkmated. Only three or foui
men have been sitting on the
bench who could be trusted with
a substitute spot against a power-
ful opponent.
Meanwhile, the Lions have been
going through workouts since the
turn of the month with between
17 and 22 boys reporting for ses-
sions. Coach? Stevens said he be-
lieved the squad would be in-
creased to above the 30 mark
when schools open today. The
Durant Democrat says:
"We'll neeed every weapon we
can throw to stop Logan Stollen-
werck's eleven this year," Coach
S'evens said.
Some of the '.argest boys, Morris
Haynie, Max Moore, Clint Eth-
eridge, and " a starting back, Dale
Taylor, were working yesterday
and did not workout, but Stevens
had a good looking line playing in
front of Howard Guyer, Gene
Jones, Howard Frazier and Doug-'
ns Logan, fullback, on a series of
new plays which Stevens hopes to
be polished up in time for the
Denison game.

company of relatives and friend',
Morris A. Levy and Miss Ella
'Frank, both of Denison. The cere-
mony was solemnized at 9:30 p.
m., H. Casper and Miss Tillie
Frank attending the couple.
After congratulations, the doors
of the dining room were thrown
open and a most Bumptious wed-
ding supper, consisting of all the
delicacies of the season as well
as the more substantial viands
was served to about twenty-five
coup'.ies. Served with the cake
were the choiciest of wines.
About 12 o'clock the dining
room was cleared and music furn-
ished. Then from 12 to 3 a. m.
dancing was indulged in. Mr.

Mr. Levy is one of Denison's live
business men.
Mr. Miles has built a shop near
Desmukes' mill, where he is man-

September 13, 1887
Last Saturday night, 10th, the
magnificent lodge and reception
rooms of the Odd Fellows, in the
Collins building, were filled with
>adies and gentlemen who had
assembled to enjoy the hospitality
of the order and listen to a talk
on the subject of Odd Fellowship
from co'ionel S. H. Russell. Those
who have heard the colonel speak
knew the subject would receive
full justice.
Refreshments for the multitude
had been provided and the spread
which greeted the guests of the
occasion in the ante rooms, was
a delight to behold and still more
pleasant to partake of. At a late
hour the company dispersed, car-
rying with them recollections of
the Odd Fellows' entertainment.
The colored waiters at the Mc-
Dougal Hotel struck Sunday in
consequence of the management
refusing to pay, ihem on Saturday
night as they had been doig form-
erly. The gaiters, it seems, had
been in the habit of getting full on
Sunday and in order to prevent
this the day for settling up had
been changed from Saturday to
Tuesday. The co lored boys didn't
like this and consequently struck.
There was a good deal of extra I
work for those about the hotel I
on Sunday, but by Tuesday mine I
host Bouchard had a new force at
work and the business is gliding
along as smooth'y as ever.
September 13, 1902
' Never in the space of twenty
four hours were so many memor-
able and targic events enacted as
on Saturday night and Sunday.
A murder was committed. Two
railroad men, citizens of Denison,
lost their lives in a wreck. A boy's
head was literally torn to pieces by
the premature discharge of a gun.
There was a stabbing affair
among Well-Fargo employes. In a
scuffle a man broke his leg, and
a pioneer citizen passed away.
Intelligence was received in
the city early Sunday morning of
■a terrible wreck which occurred
at South McAlester, when Engin-
eer W. R. Lanham was killed and
Firemen Charles Johnson, badly, J

Uncovers Coin
In Use Locally
Many Years Ago
Fred Bullock, in rumaging in
the curiosity department of his
shop last wekeend, discovered an
interesting piece of gold looking
material the size of a quarter on
which was stamped its value as
being 12 1-2 cents.
The material was good for that
amount at J. B. McDougall's and
could be exchanged at his bank.
Mr. McDougall was among the
early merchants here and conduc-
ted an old time combination bus-
iness which carried, among other
things liquors and wines by the
barrel. Money was loaned. Checks

schools, according to school heads.
Instead of the class rooms being
at school during the period, each
home will be a school room and
students are expected to work at
the tas'k as faithfully as they do
at the regular school buildings.
This type of school work will
last until some time in October, or
until the danger of spreading the
epidemic is over.
Seek Identity
Of Suicide Off
New York Bridge
NEW YORK—Police are trying
to identify the young woman who
ast night jumped to her death
fromt he Washington bridge into
the river 250 feet below.
A pedestrian saw the girl climb
onto the railing and made an ef-
fort to reach her. She jumped and
fell screaming wildly. Her cries!
Sunday night the deputy sheriff
here, Bart Shipp, was called to
Preston. Bend "Because there is a
fe'iow drowned up there." Mr.
Shipp rushed to the scene and the
following story developed: two
Oklahoma drunks had decided to
go swimming near- the bridge,
had stripped off their clothes and
dived into the water. One of them
came up and swam back to shore,
calling for help because his pal
in the cups had been "drowned."
Sure enough the o+her man could
not be located and a group form-
ed to search the area preparatory
to dragging the river for the body.
The other man was found a mile
down the river on a sand bar,
naked and shivering. A boat was
hauled out and the man brought
back to the spot where hi3 clothes
were so he could put them onl.
Judge M. M. Scholl said they had
nothing to worry about as that
Oklahoma whiskey is guaranteed
to keep one afloat. In fact some
of it will blow the drinker right
out of the river.
One of the largest gatherings
ever seen at Denison was here
the last three days of the week
for the singing convention. The
Chamber of Commerce offered its
loud speaking system so that per-
sons outside the high school audi-
toriun, where the convention was
j he'd, could hear in case they
couldn't get seats. Convention
officials refused because they
didn't believe enough people would
be present to fill the place—there
being another singing convention
going on at Durant. They were
agreeably surprised when so many
turned up that several hundred
had to be turned away for lack
of seats. B. B. Newland can be
held responsible for the number

SHANGHAI—What Japanese
troops hoped to turn into a con-
plete rout by bringing 30,000 ad-
ditional forces when a retreat was
ordered along Chinese fronts Sun-
day, proved to be unavailing.
The Chinese were prepared for
such eventuality and had planned
their retreat to be orderly and not
throw themselves open to the
Japs.
The new position, taken by the
Chinese for strategy purposes,
will enable them to better protect
their lines with less danger from
the big gung of the Japanese ships,
it is claimed.
The retreat, wheh was taken
under the full force ofl the Jap-
anese mechanized army, was or-
| derly. It throws the civic center
and the race track into the hands
of the Japanese.
All efforts of the Japanese to
turn the retreat to their advan-
tage is declared to have failed, so

for the step.

Hunt Oldest Bartender And Oldest
Bungstarter In America For Prize
(Continued on Pag* *>
Word nas been sent to Denison
that a search is beihg made over
the whole country for the oldest
bar tender in America. When
such a person is found he will be
given $100 and a free trip with
all expenses paid to New York.
Also a search is being made for
the oidest bungstarter in America.
A bungstarter is not n person, but
a kind of hatchet shapped mallet
with a long handle, al'i of which is
made of wood, used for striking
around a bung in a whiskey, or
wine barrel for the purpose of
removing the bung from the bar-
rel so the liquid may be siphoned
out.
Back in the days when liquid
refreshments were carried in most
of the drug stores, groceries as
well as saloons, the wet good?
were carried mostly by the barrel.
Homes were supplied in large
numbers with demijohns and they,
generally well filled, were kept
behind doors.
Opening a barrel for those pur-
poses was done by the use of a
bjngstarter. The barkeeper did

SHANGHAI—An effort on the
part of Japanese forces to sur-
round 120,000 Chinese when some
330,000 soldiers of Japan would
close in on them, was declared to
be an utter failure and resulted in
a setback for the Japs.
The Chinese soldiers completely
out-maneuvered them, it is de-
clared, nearly catching the Japa-
nese in their own trap.
After Japanese destroyed sev-
eral buildings by blowing them
up, the blasting party is declared
to have returned to Japanese war
ships.
TOKIO—A dispatch reported
from Shanghai today told of Jap-
anese suicide squads who fought
Chinese cannon with their bare
bodies. - . ■ _ - .
Halted at an important point on
the Yangtse, a group of Japanese
stripped, tied red flags to their
bodies and swam the stream into
the face of the Chinese guns,
fighting them literally with their
bare bodies in an effort to clog
the guns.
This was done with the idea of
the main Japanese force following
them through.
