Nathan Reeves Slain BY Posse.

Preferring to die rather than to be
taken back to Monticello and stand
trial for the murder of Deputy Sher-
if Ed Chambers, whom he shot down
at Blissville on the night of January
18, Nathan Reeves, alias Will Dooley,
alias Colby" defied arrest when
found near Laconia, on the Mississippi
river in Desha county, and the Off
GERS were forced to kill him.

just reached Sreriff Coker of that
county Reeves was discovered last
Monday and hemmed in by posse OF
men who were unable to take him
alive. The negro was shot and later
died of his wounds. Rewards for his
capture aggregated $50. Acting Gov
ernor Pindall1 had offered reward of
5000 and ShArif Cocker an additional
reward of $3.50.
When advised of the killing of the
negro, Sheriff Cocker was unable to
leave Monticello, as Circuit Court was
in session, but he sent R. B. Vernon,

if the dead man was the slayer of
Deputy Sheriff Chambers and Vernon
identified the negro.
The negro is said to have confessed
his identity before he died.

Safe Blowers Are Still Busy.

The postoffice at Charleston was
blown open about 2 o'clock Sunday
morning and 1925 taken from the safe.
The safeblowers have escaped and
there is but little hope for their cap
ture as there are practically no clues
for the officers to work on.
Dynamite caps were used in blow ing
the safe open. The caps were purchas-
ed at a Russellville hardware store.
The money taken from the safe
was in small denominations.
Some money was found scat
tered along the railroad track toward
Fort Smith. 1t is believed that the
money was dropped along the tack
purposely in order, if possible, to lead
the officers to think that the safe
blowers had gone toward Fort Smith.

Fruit Crop Is Not Damaged.
.NaIlF'

Fruit growers at Sloan Springs
have made a careful inspection of the
fruit buds since the recent cold snap,
and report that neither the peaches
nor any other fruit has been injured.
c. M. Lee, one of the largest peach
growers there, said that he had care
fully inspected the buds and found
them in good condition. He stated
that he believed the cold weather had
been a good thing, as it checked the
too rapid growth of the buds, thus
avoiding the danger of late frost.
1t is believed that the danger from
cold weather is about past. The rec
ords show that every fruit crop that
has been killed by cold weather was
killed at an earlier date than this.
The prospects for heavy crop of all
kinds of fruit is very good, but the
peach crop promises to be an excep-
tionally good one.

ChoctaW Strip Part of Arkansas.

Have Arkansas courts any jurisdic-
tion over the strip of land located near
Fort Smith and commonly known as
the "Choctaw strip" This is the main
question involved in the case of Clint
Thompson against William McCauley,
jailer of the Fort Smith district of Sc
bastian county, the transcript of which
was filed with the Supreme Court
Thursday, the case being appealed
from the Sebastian County Chancery
Court.
The case is considered a most i'm
portant one, as it involves a question
that has attracted no small amount of
attention since the strip of land was
set apart for the Cohctaw Indians by
the government and then annexed to
the state of Arkansas by the Arkan-
sas legislature of 1905.
Thompson was arrested and taken
to Fort Smith for trial. He was
charged with disturbing the peace OF
the Indian land. He and his attorneys
took the stand that the court which
tried him had no jurisdiction what
ever over that strip of land, claim
ing that it was the property of the
Indians, and that no court OF this state
could exercise any power over its af-
fairs Thompson brought habeas cor
pus proceedings, asking that a writ
of habeas corpus be issued and
chance given the jailer, in whose Gus
tody Thompson was, to show cause
why he, Thompson, could not be re-
leased. The petition for habeas cor
pus was denied by the lower court,
and the case was then appealed.
! In his petition for habeas corpus,
Thompson allages that the Choetaw
strip was given to the Indians in 1905
by act of Congress; that later it was
put within the boundary lines OF Ar
kansas by act of Congress and Of the
Arkansas legislature, but that after
that Congress repealed the act. On
this ground Thompson claims that no
Arkansas court can have jurisdiction
over the Indian reservation.
The strip of land in question lies
between Fort Smith and the Poteau
river.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex.
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

DATE FROM PREHISTORIC AGE.
Remarkable Pictures Found in Grottos
of Spanish Town.

Prehistoric pictures hang in the
grottos of Atlanta in Spain. At the
entrance are found all kinds of kitch-
en- refuse, mussel shells, broken bones,
antlers, and fiints, and crudely hewn
tools of stone, all embedded in greasy
black ashes. On the walls and roof
of a hall rs feet long and nearly 10
feet broad are animal pictures, some
hewn, some painted, black, red, or 9th
er colors. These animals, drawn sin
ely or in groups and usually strongly
faithful to nature, belong to a world
that inhabited almost all Europe at the
end of the ice age, but is now almost
extinct in the south of the European
continent, and are recognized as the
wild horse, wild boar, stag, bullock,
COW, goat. There also are a consider
able number of peculiar drawings
which finally were concluded to be hui
man beings. They have an animal
head with strongly projecting snout. 1t
is supposed by some that these re-
markable creatures with their arms,
hands, legs and ears are dancing per-
sons with arms upiifted TO implore
and with animal msaks. But this sup
position is held to be highly improb-
able. AS the artists of remote antiqui-
ty knew how to picture various ami
mails with perfect fidelity to nature it
is thought that in this instance they
also drew from life and that at that
time there still lived in Europe such
creatures closely related to the com
mon ancestors of man and ape. The
artists themselves remain mysteries.
