SHOULD BE PREPARED
 IN CASE OF FIRE.

The mention in The News last week of the needs of drum at the Grammar School by which the children may be taught to march, has served to call atten- ton to the fact that as yet no ar engagements have been made for having the doors to the building open outward. We understand that at one time practically enough money was raised by pri- vate subscription with which to purchase the necessary hinges, but there the matter was drop ped. Of course We may never have a fire at the school building. it IS to be sincerely hoped that we will not-but then again we may have one before the winter Is over, and 1t seems to The News that 1t would be the part of wisdom to be prepared for such an emergency should 1t ever arse.

HORSE THIEVES
 NEAR JOHNSON.

Horse thieves were operating Tuesday night in the vicinity of Johnson. Some time during the night black horse belonging to County Assessor Felix Hayes. and sorrel belonging to Will Mullins, were taken. At the time of going to press yesterday no trace of the thieves or the horses had been found, and so far suspicion has been directed to no one.
 Mr. Hayes found in his lot W ednesday morning two Allies belonging to Brack Greenhouse, a neighbor living about two miles distant, and on Investigating 1t was found that they showed the marks of a saddle, and on dis covering that his own horse was gone, immediately came to the conclusion that 1t was the work of horse thieves. It Is supposed that the thieves first took Mir. Greenhouses Allies, aud later de- c1ded to exchange them, taking a horse belonging to MT. Hayes and one belonging to Mir. Mullins.
 Later.-After the above was put in type telephone message to The News from Johnson stated that the missing horses were taken up yesterday morning by Joe Smiley. two miles north of Elm Springs. If the horses were stolen the thieves probably fear ed pursuit and turned them loose

CLIFFORD H. FEATURE
 AT THE COUNTY FAIR,

Springdale has been well repre- sented every day at the county fair at Fayetteville this week. The fair is d credit to the county, and is we'll patronized, giving promise of a financial success. The receipts on Tuesday, the first day, were 5000 and on Wednesday a little more than that sum. It was expected that the attendance would be even greater on yesterday. One of the biggest attractions at the fair is Clifford H., IT,, the splendid horse owned by Carl Ownbey of this place. On the first day he paced d mile simply with the harness on, and on the second day he paced a mile hltched to a sulky without a driver. He made the circuit of the track twice, and after crossing the wire the second time returned to the grand stand of his own accord, and after receiving the plaudits of the crowd was taken to his quarters. The horse has almost human intelligence, and his work IS a little short of marvellous. In his feats lie Is paced by horse and rider, and on Wednesday made the mile in about three minutes without a break.
