Ada last week was sporting
' five complete teams with the first
outfit composed of veterans with
combined heft, speed, versatility
and aggressiveness.
Jackets of 1936 are still re-
membering the Ada game, salvag-
ed from a loss because of lack of
condition of the Oklahomans and
a wet, heavy field. In the first
quarter the Cougars ran up a
touchdown in short order mnJ

At least six Jap planes were
brought down as the Chinese pur-

September 21, 1875
The two amateur dramatic as-
sociations held a meeting at A.
Teah's Monday night and agreed
to consolidate the two associations
under the name of the Denison
Amateur Dramatic association. Af-
ter the election of officers the
association adjourned to Libbe's.

at Gallagher's stable Monday
night. He was sleeping in the

hole in the floor, falling to the
ground beneath, bruising himself
considerably.
September 21, 1887
The alarm of fire was given
Monday night about 11:30 o'clock
by the loud and continued blowing
of whistles in the Missouri-Pacific
yard, followed by the wild and
noisy clamor of the firebell. The
fire was found to be located in
the frame stables of Platter,
Waples & Co., and Leeper, Lingo
& Co., situated in the rear of thw
Denison coal yard and though the
fire department was promptly on
the scene, it was evident from the
start that nothing could be saved
from the conflagration. Bailey
Vinson was the first man at the
fire. He heard the alarm while
at his desk in the freight office
and seeing the reflection of the
light close at hand he rushed out
and over to the tables. The whole
east end of the stable was in
flames and knowing the horses of

New Yok and Chicago drew up
to 2l/t games between them for

Monday afternoon by both win-

swing into a three game "crucial"
series today, with each opposing
the other.
The Giants defeated St. Louis

was credited with the win, al-
though he was the third pitcher
of the afternoon to work. Chi-

SHELBYVILLE, Ky.—Although
he had been through three wars
and in several bitter political cam-
paigns, Brigadier General Henry
H. Denhart, at one time also the
lieutenant governor of this state,
was shot down last night on the
eve of another hearing of his case
set for Tuesday. Charged with
the murder of his fiancee, Mrs.
Vena Garr Taylor, three brothers
of the dead woman shot Denhart
down on one of the down-town
streets as he walked along in the
center of the business section.
The brothers immediately gave
themselves up. "I did it," declar-
ed Roy Garr, however, another
trother had all of his chambers
empty. Shots were fired at Den-
hart by all of the brothers.
When Denhart, accompanied by
the sheriff and his attorney, were
crossing the street, Denhart was
approached by the brothers who
suddenly emerged from behind a
parked car. Denhart pleaded for
them to not shot him and started
running. They opened fire and
seven bullets entered his body,
one of them through his heart. He
expired almost at once.

COTTON PICKERS AT PREMIUM
OVER THIS SECTION OF TEXAS
Work or go to jail orders issued
at Okemah, Okla., has caused the
denzins of deviltry and the idlers
of the streets to hunt other haunts
according to reports from that
point.
With cotton picking plentiful,
the orders went out to all idlers
they must either get a job or get
out of town. The town is fast
being depopulated of its idlers.
In Denison there are several
who may be seen loafing at stated
places every day. If they toil no
one knows about it. Still, in some
manner they manage to eat and
sleep, it seems.
With scores of farmers around
Denison within reach of these idl-
ers, pickers are still short. Cotton'
is plentiful this year and the price
for picking is so good that any
man with a reasonable amount of
ability can make from $1.50 to $2
dally.
One party who offered an idler
work, declared they eould get
more on relief roll. Others de-
clare, according to those offering
work, that they could not make
anything at the job offered. Still
they persist in loafing around and
doing nothing.
There are plenty today who
think the relief business has en-
abled the loafer t& practice his
job with a vengance, while in the
ranks of others who might work a
little occasionally, the spirit has
been encouraged to do nothing at
ttll.
At any rate, when one goes
about trying to employ some one,
he finds an attitude toward the
