CLOSE CALL FOR LUMBER YARD
Spark From Engine Fired Grass. But
 Hard Fighting Won.

There was an exciting time for a few minutes Friday al the Watkins Lumber Company g mil. In some way some grass near the east corner of the yard caught hre and the flames lost no time m go- ing toward the lumber piles.
 The smoke was noticed by a driver, who told the watchman. The watchman, seeing that there was no time to spare, cut some brush and began beating the flames while the driver went for help. By the time the help ar rived the flames were nearly ex tinguished. No alarm was turned in. Part of the lumber on one pile was scorched some. That was the only damage done. It IS thought that the fire was started by spark from an engine. as two had just gone north a few moments before.

DEQUEEN TOOK THE THIRD
Mena Team Weakened by Absence of
 Two Men Hurt Thursday.

The third game of the series between DeOueen and Mena was taken by the former in hollow fashion. Perhaps the cause be- hind the demoralization of the Mena boys was that Dody, whose fine work behind the bat was a source of great strength, was re- tired to the left field on account of injuries received Thursday, and for similar reasons Showers the reliable first baggei, was out of the game.
 Hughes, who started,iu to pitch for Mena, was hit very freely, and after things went wild in the seventh, was replaced by Hays, who worked hard on a hopeless case.
 Ravenscraft would have been justified in calling the game in the sixth because of the refusal of the DeQueen team to abide by his ruling that Mena man was safe who was accused of cutting sec ond base, but instead retired, and Bennett Jackson went in.
 The score:

MANY INSURANCE
 COMPANIES SUED
Prosecuting Attorney Jeffery Asks S65,000,000 Penalties Under
 Antitrust Law-Local
 Agents Not Alarmed.

Little Rock, Aug. 20. Suits against 65 fire insurance compa nies operating in Arkansas. charg- ing violation of the antitrust law and asking for the assessment of $65, 100000 penalties, were filed Wednesday afternoon ia the Jack son County Circuit Court by Prosecuting Attorney K. E. Jef- fiery and G. l.. Grant. It is al- legged in the complaint that the companies named in the com plaint agreed on rates to be charged and hence violated the an nti-trust laws of Arkansas.
 The companies against which suit is brought are:
 The Little Rock agents show uo alarm whatever over the filing of the suits. A prominent gcner- al agent of this city last night re- ferred to the suits brough ht against insurance companies in Arkansas some time ago which were finally dismissed and stated that insofar as he knew, none of the agents were excited over the move at Newport.
 Upon investig ation it was also learned last night that the att torney generals office thus far has not taken any active steps in tho matter. It was reported last night that Mir. Grant came to Little Rock about week ago and conferred with the attorney gem eral egarding the proposed suits, but that the attorney general took no further steps.
 In the present suits the state will not only have to prove that the rates charged by the compa- nies in Arkansas are all the same, but will have to prove that the companies agreed on those rates.
