When asked "WHY, his reply was:
because he knows how to play ball
and he wont play on Sunday. When
Little Rock hired him to pitch he told
EN- he wouldn't pitch on Sunday be-
cause he had been taught that II was
wrong. And that's thc reason that

On Wednesday night another bold

tered BY the rear door and took shoes,
underwear and clothing and incedcnt-
ally a dollar in loose cash in the
drawer. The burglars operated in
here under the glare Of six electric
lights which burn all night long. They
even we're bold enough to 60 into the
front show window which was lighted,
and take therefrom pair OF trousers

either.
Besides these cases several other
attempts have been made and several
Of our citizens report the presence Of
night providers around their premises
during the past few weeks. It has
been suggested by some Of the citi-
zens that our city Marshal arrange
with the penitentary authorities to
have pair OF the best blood hounds
they have, brought to Brinkley on a
special engine to run down the guilty
parties. BY keeping the matter quiet
when the next crime is reported It
would be an easy matter for our
authorities to get the blood hounds
here and run down the culprits. The
cost would be comparatively nothing
and as an object lesson alone It would
be worth thousands Of dollars to our
people in point Of safety to property
and life.
