DIR. SMITH ON THE
 RIGHTS OF AUTOMOBILES

All vehicles have equal rights on streets and highways and in most states. Missouri for instance. horse vehicles are required by law to give half the road to automo- piles coming and going. Of course reckless driving Is wrong in every sense but no reasonable person can ever say that l have been indifferent to his interests. Where see any danger l run to one side, stop the car and assist the drlver. If there has been any complaint, it is by the very few who doubtless think they have an exclusive right to the streets and roads as against automobiles.

SPRINGTOWN VISITED
 BY DISASTROUS FIRE.

Springtown, small village northwest of Springdale, in Ben- ton County, suffered a disastrous fire Sunday night. The fire started about half past nine o'clock and originated in the drug store of pr. J. l.. Clemmer. The origin of the fire 1 s un- known, but was probably due to defective tiue, as Dr. Clemmer's office is located in the drug store where he had had fire during the day. Dr. Clem- mer carried $1, 200 insurance on building and contents.
 Altogether four business houses were destroyed, the heaviest los CTS being Dodgen, King X Co.,, who earned about an eight thous- and dollar stock of goods, which was located in q two-story brick house owned by the Wasson es- tate. The Odd Fellows Lodge occupied the upper story. Dod- gen, King X Co. carried S4, GOO insurance, and there was Sl, ,000 on the building.
 K. J. Hawks, whose business house was distroyed, carried $500 insurance on building and con- tents.
 The business house of J. M. Collins, together with the con- tents, was destroyed, with no in- surance.
 All the insurance was carried by the Dodson-Renner Agency of this place, and Mr. Renner, man. ager of the company, went over to Springtown Monday to look after the matter.

FALLS
 IN WELL. Chapter of Accidents in South Springdale Chronicled by The News Reporter.

One day last week Master Ed Thompson, five years old and youngest son of MT. and Mrs. De Thompson, climbed onto the well curb and was jerked into the well by the bucket falling back, falling a distance of forty five feet to the water. The wat CT was shallow and did not cover him up. His mother saw him fall ln and ran to the we'll and with great presence of mind on looking into the we'll and seeing her boy was not Killed, told him to hold on to the well rope and bucket and as quick as her strength and trembling hands could do so she had him up and out on dry land once more, with only slight scratch on his head. ready for fun and frolic with the other children. The wonder is that he wasn't killed outright.
 Monday morning of this week Mr. Gray's children, with some others, were playing by the rail- road track and as has been their custom for some time when a train passes, they all raced to see who can be first on the track after the eaboose or hindmost car passes. So on this o scasion while they were at their play freight train came along and as the ca boose was about to pass them they made break to see which one would be the first to get on to the track and closest to the rear end Of the train, and ln their eagerness and hurry this little fellow turned in too quick and ran against the corner of the car which knocked him down and cut an ugly gash in the side of his head. His father ran to him and picked him up senseless and carried him into the house. The little fellow is only four or five years of age.
 Some days ago Claud Thomp- son, brother to the boy that fell in the well, fell off his fathers barn onto something sharp that was lying close to the barn, and cut a long gash in one of his legs that kept him hopping around for several days.
 Two years ago this same Ed Thompson, while little tot, slip ped out of the yard one day from his mother, and she hearing d train coming at sweeping rate down the track, thought of her boy and not seeing him anywhere Ill tile yard, ran to the front gate and there she saw Ed standing in the middle of the track and the traln laundering on only little ways above where lie stood. She called to him and he heard her call and stepped outside the rail just as tile locomotive was onto him and went steamlng by. the big drive wheels with their pom derous arms ust missing hlm.
