HOT SPRINGS A HOT PLACE FOR
CRIMINALS OR vAGABONDs.
A Littl. Excitement Tuesday.

Our officers of the law had q little
excitement this week with a band Of
buns. Tuesday morning six strang-
ers were noticed around our streets,
aud although we are used to strangers,
these attracted unusual attention.
About the middle of the afternoon
John King saw one near the lumber
yard and watching his movements saw
him hide something and go away.
When the stranger had gone safe dis
tance John investigated and found the
parcel slowed out of sight was three
pairs of pants. By this time Marshal
Dornan was on their trail and toward
night captured two. The older one,
James Frye, of Muscatine, Ia., seemed
we'll used to the work. When the mar
shal told him to go to Jail there was
pretence that he was hard of hearing
and said:"A little louder please. am
little deaf" He expected Jim to
come closer which would make it
possible to strike blow at the officer
but Jim saw his scheme and said: 1--WE
will let you hear when at the Jail.
Come on" And he came. When
searched three knives and 45 calibre
Colts revolver were found. He was
loaded for emergencies. John Gracer,
is the name of the younger prisoner.
He is Il mere boy of ID or l6 years aud
does not have theappearance of Grim
inal. at the trial, before Judge Parks,
Wednesday, Frye tried to convince the
court that the knives and gun we're to
be returned to him. But the Judge
did not see it that way. After father
ly talk to the boy, the judge sent them
back to Jail to await payment of fines.
The four who escaped earned their lib
erty. Sheriff Eastman, Deputy Sheriff
Petty, Officers Dornan and Cleghorn.
with n few volunteer assistants kept
the criminals on the run till it was de-
cided, by the hunted, that some other
town was a better place for operations.
Weary Willies and thieves will find
that Hot Springs is too we'll provided
with good officers to make this place
profitable rendezvous.

Lester Tubbs, after month of par

morning the 2sth. He had been in
the hospital only about week and a
half and seemed little improved
when, one day last week, he told
Major Wade the fingers of his right
hand were pricking and acting queer.
The Doctor began rubbing the limb
but it was insensible to the friction.

Sunday about 2:30 his heart beat for
the last time. The services we're held

member of the Society of Friends, a
good citizen and loving husband. His
wife watched over him during his last

as comfortable as human hands can
make. Her close attention was the
sacrifice of a faithful wife.
