NEARLY GORED TO DEATH.
Raymond Chambers Thought RE
Would Train Bull, Changed His
Mind.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6-That Raymond
Chambers, % years old, of 49t2 Spruce
street was nearly gored to death by a
bull at his home recently indirectly was
due to the fact that he visited a vaud =
Vile performance some time during last
winter.
At this performance he witnessed the
feats of a wonderful trained horse, and
the sight of the exhibition reminded him
that in his boyhood he had himself been
successful as an animal trainer.
In June there arrived at his estate a
young Sterio bull direct from his brother s
ranch in Arizona, and course of vauda-
Vile training began. After the animal
had dangerously gored two hired men
Chambers was unable to obtain assis-

day in putting the animal through its

WARN THE BOYS.

One of the changes that will take place for the new year in Mena will bc a stringent enforcement of the law against discharging firearms within the limits of the city, regu- lation that has so long been neglect ed that it was not even thought of or recognized by many persons, particularly small boys with target rifles and so-called toy pistols. The officers report that there have been sold in Mena many of these toy pistols which will fire the 22-caliber cartridges. and are. therefore, wea- pons under the state law, which prohibits the sale Of such. These are cheap affairs, of cast iron, and are even more dangerous than the larger guns. not only to the public safety. but to the owners as well.
 Parents having boys who own guns of this or any oti.er class will do well to avoid trouble by warning them to be careful where they do their shoot ing in the future.

Agricultural Schools for Arkansas

Governor-elect Donaghey told the annual meeting of the Arkansas State Teachers Association that he would recommend to the coming legislature the establishment of three agricultural schools at places where such institutions would be accessible and of great benefit.
 In his talk to the teachers Mr. Donaghey gave practical reasons why the state should spend money for agricultural education. He argued that millions of dollars could be saved by the scientific feeding of live stock, and the value of the pro- duce of the soil could be increased 90 per cent by improved methods of agriculture. He said with good reason that in no other vocation would the state reap such benefits from education as it would from the education of the farmer.
 The people are ready for these agricultural schools, and we trust the legislature will see it's way clear to providing them Gazette.
