Thursday, August 21, 1913, Sapulpa Evening Democrat: Why it was Turned Down
“Not enough taxable area after the non-taxable land was cut from the square miles.

This is because of the fact that so much of the land in the two counties as framed was non-taxable at the present time.”

Saturday, August 21, 1999, Sapulpa Daily Herald: A Real Kick
“Serious Cahwee turns heads with field goal prowess. Like any other player, the one who’ll dress out as number 15, works the drills, runs the laps, wears the helmet. At practice every day, listening to the coaches, talking with trainers, working with teammates, some might call the 120-pound, multi-sport Sapulpa athlete a pioneer. But don’t tell HER that. Ashley Cahwee is a senior and one of 44 varsity players taking the field this season for the Sapulpa Chieftains.
