England, Ark, July 22.-Saturday evening W. B. Craker and R. L. Saw yer became involved in a difficulty over debt of $14 Craker owed Saw yer. Craker has been life insurance agent and real estate agent here for the past year and has contracted a lot of small debts. Of late Sawyer, who is dealer in grain and feedstuffs, has been quite persistent in trying to col lect his bill. Saturday it was reported that Craker was about to leave town for good and Sawyer found him at the depot in the agents private apart ments, and asked him for his money. When Craker told him he did not in- tend to pay him Sawyer struck him a severe blow over the forehead with a wagon spoke, cutting to the skull. Craker pulled pistol and fired twice at Sawyer, missing him. Sawyer and many of the by islanders beat hasty retreat.
 Craker is resting easy this morning and is perhaps not much hurt. Saw yer gave bond.

SIDNEY JOHNSON CAMP
 MEMORABLE COMMITTEE.

Great interest is being manifested among the veterans of Batesville con cerning the proposed monument that is to be erected in Little Rock in honor of the Confederate dead. At the last meeting of Sidney Johnson Camp No. 863, U. C.. w., the Confederate monu- ment committee was unanimously memorialized that they consider but one site for this monument and that this be the grounds of the new capitol building.
 In the language of the memorial, ''It will there be the authoritative message of the state of Arkansas to all the future generations of her chil- dren, that she treasures as sacred trust the memory of her dead sons who offered their young manhood for her defense. There if properly placed, it will bear this testimony to all persons visiting the state capitol grounds, not only our own people but strangers within our gates, as we'll. Placed in city park, it's testi- mony will be shorn of it's state- wide effect and it will become but local adornment."

TRIMMING The LEVY
Tax Levy Board Cuts Close, but Is
Not Fully Satisfied
4 Yet.
Strong Talks Of Heads Of Various
Departments Make Members
Hesitate.

After holding three sessions yesterday,
the members Of the board OF tax levy did
not have much more than headaches as
rewards for their labors. They brought
the tax rate down to IS mills. but as the
ward levies were still to come and, as
these range from to ESQ mills, the board
seeks to cut still deeper. 1t will try
again Monday at 2 p. m.
: But where to begin Is the problem It
was expected that several departm ents
could be cut, but, when each official ap-
peared before the board he made such
plausible talk and had statistics to back
every assertion, the board meekly ac-
copied the situation and did not cut very
much.
The city's permanent Improvement fund
was carefully reviewed last evening
Bridges were knocked out and alto
gether $4,000 was struck off the city en-
gineer's estimates. But then there came
two items which were not in any ones es-
timates,-the good roads and the as
phalt paving repair machine Every one
has asked for good roads appropria-
ton and an asphalt paving machine is
said to be the greatest money saver ever
invented. The board allowed $4,000 for
good roads and $4,000 for the asphalt
machine. This brings the permanent i'm
provement fund down to 1921 900 and ef-
fects net reduction Of only $40. 900.
captains Thomas Coskran, John Land
berg and Jacob Helm, and w. w. Ros-
worth were before the board to urge for
an advance or salaries in the police de-
partment. They contended not onlv tina +
the minneapolis police department was
one Oh the poorest paid in the whole coun-
try, but that it was more poorly paid fran
the other city departments. Nothing
however, can be done for the policemen at
this time. az
