ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
 ON WHITE RIVER ROAD.

Willie Briggs, son of J. J. Briggs living just west of town, was last Friday night held up by three unknown persons on the railroad at the first crossing of Crooked creek just beyond the Georges creek trestle and se- verely bruised up in an attempt at robbery. He was going along alone about 8 o'clock and was met by three men. Without any word or warning, one of them bounced upon him and tried to run his hands into Briggs pock- cts while the other two stood near by but took no part in the encounter then. As Briggs got loose and started to run he was dealt a heavy blow with cud- gel across the left arm shattering the bone.
 While the blow staggered him, it did not get him down and he succeeded in keeping out of reach of his assailants who chased him some distance distance but were soon outdistanced. " e llville Echo.

FREIGHT WRECK
 AT ARKADELPHIA.
Steel Bridge Gave Way Before Derailed Engine-Inman. Hurt In Clearing
 Wreckage.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12. On Sunday night at 8 o'clock a through freight, southbound, was badly wrecked, nine cars and en- zine No. 4O5 being hurled from the bridge over the Ouachita river here. Strangely enough no one was injured in the wreck, but in clearing away the debris today the two men were injured, one fatally.
 While on top of the wreckage of the cars part of the mass rolled down. L. H. Inman of Bald Knob was so badly injured that he died soon after being ex- tricated. He leaves a wife and two children. The other man hurt was w. J. Allen, but, al- though painful, his injuries are not serious.
 The freight train was hauling over twenty cars and in addition the "dead" engine. The engine and twelve or fourteen cars passed safely over the bridge, but from some unexplained cause the dead engine left the rails and dashed into the frame work of the bridge, completely wrecking the span between the third and fourth piers. Eight loaded coal cars piled upon the dead engine and a car of merchandise was turned over and the contents scattered. The cars were splin- tered into kindling wood almost and the iron work twisted and gnarled, the wreckage making an apparently inextricable mass of debris. Bert Hill, a messen- ger, was on engine 4O5, but jumped and escaped injury. The other members of the crew were in the caboose, which stayed on the rails.
 The railway officials are una- ble to explain the accident. The bridge is a steel structure almost new and was apparently in per- feet condition, and since the en- zine and dozen cars had passed over safely, no reason is appar- ent for the derailment of the "dead" engine, which dragged the cars following along with it.
 Passenger travel has been par tially resumed by transferring around the wreck, and it is said the bridge will be put in condi- tion for the full resumption of business by Wednesday.

A BACK LICK
Settled tue Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better
than gold mines have been found in
this way; for example, when even the
accidental discovery that coffee is the
real cause OF ones sickness proves OF
most tremendous value because II
locates the cause and the person has
then a chance to get well.
For over 25 years" says a Mis-
souri, woman, II suffered untold
agonies In my stomach, and even the
best physicians disagreed as to the
cause, without giving me any per-
manent help, different ones say ing II
was gastritis, indigestion. neuralgia,
&C., so | dragged along from year TO
year, always half sick, until finally
gave up all hopes OF ever being well
again.

which turned out to be Postum. and

would stop coffee for a while and
use II, which ! did.
80 for three months we had
Postum In place OF coffee. without
ever having one of my old spells, but
was always healthy and vigorous In
stead.
Husband kept saying he was con-
vinced II was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then | wouldn't be-
lieye 1t until one day We got out OF
Postum, and as we lived two miles
from town | thought to use the cof-
fee we had In the house
The result OF a weeks use OF cof-
fee again was that | had another
terrible spell OF agony and distress,
proving that 1t was the coffee and
nothing else. That settled II, and |
said good-by to coffee forever, and
since then Postum alone has been
our hot mealtime drink.

worlds better and my complexion 's
much improved All the other mem
bcrs OF our family have been bene-
fited, too. by Postum ia place OF the
old drink, coffee Name given by

Ten days trial OF Postum IN place
OF coffee or tea is the wise thing for
every coffee drinker. Such a trial
tells the exact truth often where
coffee is not suspected.
