No More Arrests.

Sheriff Joe r King of GAINESVILLE was
in Fort Smith last week and the
"Times' reporter interviewed him re-
garding new developments In the Clarks-
vile bank robbery case. For the past
eight days he aud Deputy Marshal
Talbot have been securing Oklahoma
Territory and Kansas In search of the
three men still at large who were i'm.
plicated with Dunn and Durham In the
bank robbery, and killing Of Sheriff
Powers. Sheriff King said while he
was on the scent which he thought
would lead to the apprehension of the
men wanted he was not In position
to give out any definite information.
Speaking of his trip to a Times man,
Sheriff King said;
"Payton Talbot and myself were ont
eight days. We spent the time in
Oklahoma Territory and in Kansas, and
while | am not possessed of positive in.
formation regarding the identity Of the
three elen who are still at large, yet !
may say that l can report satisfactory
progress. l saw Dunn while was in
Wichita. He recently underwent an
operation but will not BIZ able to be
moved for a couple of weeks and when
be Is able l shall 90 after him. Say,
there is one of the smoothest men In the
business. He will talk you out of your
belief when you have the figures right
before you to prove that he lies He
don't want to come to Fort Smith.
How he got his wound Is mystery,
h.t ha hnt hA. hot h,,
woman In Oklahoma City. He admits
that he has u wife in Oklahoma City,
and another at Ponca and says that he
is willing to plead guilty to bigamy and
take penitentiary sentence in Kansas
rather than come down here and stand
trial for murder and robbery. He Is
mighty secretive and will talk streak
without saying anything, He admits
that he Is a gambler and claims that he
has not been to Fort Smith since the
street fair. Durham tried that Dodge,
but | told the sheriff that he could tele.
graph the chief of police of Van Buren,
aud If the reply did not prove that Dur.
ham was in Van Buren, the day before
the bank robbery l would release
all claim to him, The chief at
Van Buren, telegraphed that there
was abundant proof Of Durham s
visit to Van Buren, the day before
the GAINESVILLE event, and that cinched
the matter and had no further trouble
10 getting Durham. Since he has been
In the Jail at GAINESVILLE he has given
nothing away. He persistently denies
his guilt but declines to tell where he
was before the robbery and killing or
where he was immediately after those
occurrences. We are still on the search
for the other three men. The two
Pinkerton men are still at work, One
Of them Is In my employ. The man
Price who WAS down here was In the
employ Of the trust company which
bonded the bank and of course he work

The County Farm.

County Judge Gross was In town
Thursday after more lumber for the
erection Of buildings on the farm re-
Gently purchased by him for the county.
He has contracted with Mr.. J. II Toney,
the former owner, to superintend the
farming operations until July, when
bids will be called for and contract
made for future superintendent. The
Judge did wisely in contracting with
Mr.. Toney, as this gives assurance that
with q favorable season good crop
will be raised this year. There are now
about thirty persons on the pauper list,
but it is not expected that more than
half of this number will make applica'
ton for admission to the farm.
The county struck great bargain in
this farm. We understand the price
paid was 81 900.

ABOUT THE RUBBER STOCKS.

ABOUT THE RUBBER STOCKS.
 The many holders of United States rubber stocks in this city will be in terested in the following gossipy arti- cle from the Boston News Bureau:
 United States Rubber common stock can be safely bought around $1o per share, although it represents no tangl- ble property except good will, but the business of the company is now on a basis where there is no money loss The preferred stock represents the plants. The plants could not be duplicated for the amount of the preferred stock but their operating efficiency could be du- plicated for about 75 per cent. of the preferred share capital outstanding The cheapest way however is entering the rubber business in the United States is to buy Rubber Goods pre- ferred or United States Rubber pre- ferred, Both are selling far below their intrinsic value and neither their property nor their operating efficiency could be duplicated under 30 to 50 per cent more than they are selling for. The rubber business has made many fortunes each of many millions, and in the future there should be more mil lions in the business.
 At present Rubber Goods preferred is earning q good deal more money than it is paying. United States Rubber pre- ferred is paying nothing, is earning lit tie, but has the real property and is in an improving situation every day. It's stock is not of large amount, it is well managed and within three years there sholud be a restoration of dividends. Another strong point for the United States Rubber company IS that it is ex- banding into foreign markets. There fore we say buy Rubber preferred which is getting through it's difficult ties, for future investment, return; likewise Rubber common at under l5 for speculation
