Bruce Phillips. that he had seen the man at Omaha working at camp "C" and that the man gave his name as Lon Denton. A later investigation, however, fail- ed to find this name on any of the pay rolls.
 There was considerable here say evidence that the man was from the Omaha railroad works.
 It was stated from what seemed good authority from Omaha that the description of the man filled that of an Irishman by the name Of William Craig, who had work ed there and gave his home as St.. Louis.
 From all the evidence it ap- pears probable that the man had been at work on the construction of the White River road, and that he was beating his way out on one of the trains, and it is most likely that he was on the passen- ger blind baggage and when the train was turning the sharp curve at the point where he was found he fell off.
 The body was embalmed by Undertaken Butt, clothed in a nice burial robe and was placed in handsome coffin, and on Wednesday afternoon was buried in the Pickens cemetery at public expense.
 A description of the man with all the information obtainable was sent out by THE TRIBUNE and wired to a number of the daily newspapers, so far only two inquiries have been received, ], one from St. Louis and one from Oklahoma.

Shackleford Boy i'll Trouble.

The following from the Daily Times Echo of Monday is evil dently concerning a son of J. H. Shackleford, who was for some years resident of Green Forest:
 ''Last Saturday young man by the name of Shackleford, who had been on trip to the eastern portion of the county, came to town. In appearance he seemed to be of the average type Of young men of his class, and spent the day in going about town and talk ing to any chance acquaintance he might have.
 His father is well to do farmer who lives near Berryville and presently young Shackleford met up with another farmer, who lives near his home and who had come to town il. ;a wagon. Shackleford made arrangements to go out Tn the wagon with him and then went to the business house of Thornton & Gates and as the establishment was full of people doing their Saturday shopping, proceeded to make himself at home.
 He helped himself to one pair of shoes, two pair of gloves. two caps and 20 cents worth of to- baccO.
 This he easily did as so many purchasers prevented the clerks from watching all who came into the establishment.
 i Having appropriated the arti- cles he carried them and put them into the wagon of his farm CT neighbor.
 Some person who was in the store witnessed the performance, and informed A. Coffey, one of the clerks. Mr. Coffey promptly went after him andrecovered the goods and turned the errlng young man over to the police.
 He was tried this morning be- fore Justice Mclaughlin, fined ten dollars and sentenced to one days imprisonment.
 His father being notified by telephone of his sons offense came in yesterday and gave suffi : cient money to pay his sons hne and returned home the same day.'

 From the Siloam Spring Re- publican we gather many inter- esting notes about what the frui5 men in that section of the coun- try are doing. It is evident that the fruit raisers are "the salt of the earth' in that portion of tho country. THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure in repubiishing the do- ings of the fruit men in that much favored section of Arkansas for the reason that Green Forest and vicinity has all the requisites to make it equally as good fruit country as that surrounding Siloam Springs.
 The matter of all fruit enter prises in all the country sur- rounding Siloam Springs is prac tically under the management and direction of the Fruit Grow CTS and Shippers Association.
 This association holds monthly meetings and plans and lays out the work of the future. At it's meeting last week contracts werA let for berry crates for the next season. In this way they get their crates at the minimum be- sides they know that they will have the crates when needed.
 The association is also con- sidering the question of planting the Aroma strawberry in con- nection with the Mitchell, thereby doubling the length of the straw berry season. As an experiment. the association will plant 150 acres of the Aroma variety the coming season. It being d later berry than the Mitchell, the one will not interfere with the other on the market.
 The wisdom of these matters being left to the association is self evident. If every man pursued an independent course each would be a rival of the other, but in organization and system, they know exactly what to eX- pect and are in a position to get what they want.
 In this connection. we desire to suggest that the Green Forest ,, Horticultural Society might profit by having a meeting and try to ascertain "where we are at' and make some plans for the coming season. Figures might be made as to the probable acre. age of berries that will bear next season, the amount that will be planted and something might be ascertained about crates.
 The question of the acreage of tomatoes for the next season should be known at once. While there is not likely to be too many acres planted, there is quite a probability of too small an acre. age.
 The meeting of the state horti- cultural society comes in next month and deleg ates to it should be chosen. All in all, there are many questions Of importance that the society should consider just now.

A MOTHER OF COURAGE.
The old Lndy's First Football game
and Her boy.

She sat in the grand stand waiting
for her first football game to begin.
Her boy had played It ever since she
could remember. and now he had made
his varsity team, which was her var

Two of his fraternity "brothers" sat
on either side as a bodyguard TO her
gray hairs and as a bureau of informa.

would have been with the prettiest girl
they knew.
when she picked him out of the squad
of red sweatered "huskies" which at
length trotted out on the field. She
wiped away n tear when n Columbia
man fell across the line for a touch
down.
Then she surprised her bodyguard
by muttering under her breath: Hold
'em hard. fellowsv' Twist their
necksl' "Pushl Pushv'
She explained her knowledge Of
these strenuous technical details by
saying that her boy cried out like that
when playing dream games In his
sleep.
She did not faint when he tackled
too hard and failed to rise, although
his white face. with a streak Of red
blood across the forehead. was staring
up at her.
"You can't hurt my boy" she said
with confidence. Hes just doing that

Autiauity Of the boomerang.

The boomerang, the Australian ma
tlve's weapon of offcnse and defense,
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery of Australia. was doubtless
known before the time of Christ. Pliny
the elder, a contemporary of our Sa-
ydour writes as follows I'm his Natural
History respecting an instrument
made of the wood of the aquifolla:
"If a staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength In the person throwing falls
short of the mark, it will come back
toward the thrower of its own accord,
so remarkable are the properties OF
that tree"
II is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape of the stair and referred its pc
culiarltics to the nature of the wood OF
which II was made.

Mr.. WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
NEWSPAPER MAN WHO REFUSES
A SALARY OF $4,000.
Haa Been offered Berth in Diplomatic
Service - Burton Faction Not
Friendly to Him--Would Re.
store Leland to the Lead.

washington, Jan. ct was announ-
oed in Washington today that William
Allen White of Emporia, Kan has
within the last few days refused the
acceptance Of an offer to become the
washington correspondent of the Chi
eago Tribune, at salary Of $4,000
year.
Mr.. White is credited here as being
probably the best political writer in
the country at the present day and
! nat his contributions 70 magazines
and newspapers are netting him more
than the salary offered by the Chicago
paper.
President Roosevelt, who is his close
and admiring friend. regards White
Ms one of the ablest writer's in his
line the country has produced. The
president has tender feeling for lit
erary men and overlooks no oppor-
tunity TO favor them when a desire is
indicated for such. This has been evil
denced in various appointments to
large federal plums during the past
year.
Although not heretofore published
it is no secret that the president offer
ed Mr. White comfortable berth in
! the diplomatic service last summer,
shortly after White published his
sketch of Senator Platt in McClure's
I,NMagazine, which the senator resented
and threatened vengeance in bringing
suit for damages.
White graciously declined the pres
ident's tender, saying that he was
contented to remain in civil life and
earn his livelihood with his pen in
his native town and state, where he
has an ever abiding faith and inter
est.
The recent offer extended Mr.. White
from Chicago is not the first one OF
it's kind. He has had many compli
mentary offers from magazines and
newspapers of New York and else
~vhere for his services. White says
l n. like Ed Howe of the Atchisor
Globe, is afraid of big cities and pre-
fers the quietness of small towr
rather than the hustle and humdrum
life Of a great metropolis.
White Is expected to come to Wash
ington during the latter part of this
.lponth to Took in on congress- for al
"eastern magazine. Whether his in
tended visit will be to get a feeling
on tariff revision or a view on the oc
topus question is not known. Incl
dentally ne will go to the white hous'
and pay visit to the president ant
take his usual luncheon, as he Away
does when coming to town.
The fact that White is considered
personal representative Of the pres
ident in Kansas causes some of tn
