GOLD PLACER ON THE ARKANSAS RIVER
The Van Buren, ARK Intelligencer, of the 18th
ult, says that party has been organized by Col.
VIM. Black, of Arkansas, for the purpose of ex-
ploring gold region on the Arkansas river, which
he alleges to have visited in company with about
twenty persons, in the summer OF 1926. The same
paper says that twenty years after Col. Black re-
turned, three men, belonging to the Cherokee ma
ton aud named McNair, while on a hunt, came
accidentally upon these sands. Not knowing what
they were, they washed them out from the earth
and brought in small parcel, which proved to be
pure gold. Upon comparing notes, Col. Black and
the McNairs discovered that it was on the same
creek, surrounded by the same physical features ::
these golden sands were seen by each, although in
a space of twenty years apart. So striking and
convincing are the evidences, that both parties
agree to fit out mining expedition to that REGION
The Intelligencer has no doubt Of the success Of
the expedition.

CAPTURED FLAGs.-The Naval School Lyceum
fitted up at Annapolis, has a room appropriated to
the captured flags in the naval battles of coun-
try. Congress once passed an act to have all the
flags taken in battle by our forces properly pre-
served, as trophies of American valor but it never
carried into effect, and Mr.. Ingersoll, in his
history of the of 1912, makes it the subject of
complaint against the Government that it should
neglect the preservation of such valuable historical
mementoes. The collection by the Naval School
embraces flags from the revolutionary struggle
down to the Mexican war, and is probably the most
extensive of the kind in the country 1t is not yet
too late for the Government to have all these tro
phies collected in one place under its charge, in
stead of being distributed as we see, some at West
Point, some at Annapolis, and various other places.
Kept in some public place, the sight of them would
kindle feeling of pride in every American breast,
ard serve 10 keep alive the valor that won them.
MISTAKE IN THE PERSONA singular case of
arrest occurred in Baltimore on the LIST. A tele-
graphic dispatch had been received from Harris

gentleman protested that he was innocent OF any
such crime as charged. Whl..e the officers were
searching his trunk he jumped agains; the window
of the office, breaking all the glasses in tie sash,
and of course attracting large crowd. This was
deemed presumptive evidence of guilt, and magis-
trate having been called, he was committed for
rrr,h.r .xom;na,ion After reaching the Jail he
sent for an attorney, and soon proved that he was
a member of the wealthy firm of Leaman d Bros,
Of Hollidaysburg, Pa, and was on his way to pur'
chase goods in Baltimore and Philadelphia. lie
