REGULATIONS ! FJIl
 GRAZING CA JED
Investigations of Conditions in Ar kansas National Forest Result in Rules Different From Those
 of 0thsr Forests.

It has for some time been known that Samuel J. Record, supervisor of the Arkansas National Forest, with headquarters in Mena, has been studying conditions in his district with view to recommending that certain changes be made in the graz ing regulations which have applied favorably to all National Forests alike.
 These new rules give people living in or near the forest privilege 10 graze 25 horses or cattle or 50 head of hogs or 75 head of sheep or goats free of charge and without charge and with h5ut permit. This will prac- tically give free grazing to every farmer in or near the forest, at the same time giving them protection from non resident cattle men.
 The bulletin issued follows:
 Charge in Grazing Regulations for
 Arkansas National Forest.
 As a result of a thorough investi- gation of the grazing problem on the Arkansas National Forest, the Secretary of Agriculture has ap- proved ,ome important changes in the regulations On and after April i, 1910, people residing in or very near the Forest who own not moro than 25 head of cattle and horses, or an equivalent in hogs or sheep, and goats in the ratio of two hogs for one COW or horse, or three sheep and goats for one COW or horse, may graze their stock free of charge and without permit A further allow ance will be given by the Forest supervisor in cases in which the per mittee owns unfenced patented land within the Forest. Non-residents, who do not own or lease land within the Forest, will be required to pay grazing fees and will not be allow q Oh the Forest where the range is all ready fully stocked. The fact that the public range has been used for a number of years does not give the right to such use. for the land itself belongs to all the citizens of the United States and not entirely to those who now happen to live in the neighborhoo4.

WOULD FURNISH
 SEWER AND WATER
H. ". Cardwell Makes Offer to Com- plete First and Guarantee Second, Selling all to City for $30,000-
 Electric Lights.

The feature of council meet ing Tuesday night ca ne after Ii o'clock, when H. w. Cardwell made an offer to the city of com pleted sewer system and a guarau- teed water supply for $30,000. A special meeting will be held next week to take the matter up further.
 The proceedings in detail:
 The regular monthly meeting of the council was held Tuesday night with all alderman, Mayor Legate and City Attorney Lundy present. MT. Lundy acted as clerk in the absence of Clerk Elm bry.
 The routine expense bills were audited, passed upon and allowed to the amount of $964.
 The council then took up for discussion the matter of forming an improvement district to acquire or put in an electric light plant. Mayor Legate and Aldermen Watkins aud Parks were author ized 10 hire at g each per day men to solicit signatures of prop erty owners to petition asking that the district be formed.
 The Electric Light Company having failed to put in Glree> lights, as ordered by the council, and it being uncertain as to whether proper notice to do so had been given, instructions were given the clerk to attend to the matter.
 A resolution was passed to ac- cept from Polk county as pay for the room in the court house be- longing to the city of Mena, eleven $100 warrants drawn on the build ing fund, on the representation of Judge Prickett that he believed the warrants could be taken up at the rate of $l00 each quarter.
 Dr. J. K. Davis presented large number of letters showing that license charged on opera houses in Arkansas, in cities of the class of Mena, ranged from $ to $25 per year. This showing caused the council to agree to re- peal the ordinance demanding $l00 per year, and to place the license at $25.
 Ordinance No. 25, to give the water commissioners the right to enter into contracts with property owners for water furnished, was presented and passed, This also makes owners of property iiatle for water rents instead of the ten- ants. It's purpose is to prevent loss through tenants moving away aud not paying for water used.
 A petition was presented by DeQueen street business men, asking the council to prevent the establishment of horse-shoeing shop in the Stuckey building. The city attorney advised that the council had no jurisdiction. The case may be taken to the courts.
 Mel Griffis and Ernest Hopper asked that the saloons and poo, halls be allowed to remain open all night during the fair. After some discussion the request was withdrawn.
 H. w. Cardwell made a propo- sitios to the city to complete the sewer system and to drive tun- uel in the mountain and guaran- tee water supply in the dryest season of l50,000 gallons day, and turn all over to the city, ac- cepting $50, GOO in bonds as pay ment for same. This proposition was taken up with interest and a special meeting will be held next Tuesday night to further discuss | lthis and other business. The ccuucilmen appropriated $50 to be used to purchase from

HAVE LEGATE BROS.
 BEEN SWINDLED?
Man Who Traded For Their Property Tried to Sell at Great Sacrifice and When Restrained by Court
 Order, Disappears.

Monday afternoon Mayor Henry Legate, represt nting the firm of Legate Bros. applied to Clancellor James D. Shaver for restraining order erjoining the transfer of the title to the prop erty known as the Lepate livery barn and the Henry Legate resi- dence, and asking that the deeds made by Legste Bros, to A. B. Lorton last Tuesday be set aside on the grounds of fraud.
 It was mentioned in The Star last Wednesday that the Legate Bros. had made a deal whereby they transferred their big two. story concrete livery barn with the horses, carriages, etc, and the Henry Legate residence for Ohio prop sIty valued at So2, 800. None of the details were given out at that time.
 As soon as MT. Lorton took possession of his property here the next day he expressed himself as being greatly disappointed and dissatisfied. He wanted to sell out. Following this he began to make efforts to sell. He offered the livery stock, carriages and business for $500, and realizing this price to be far below the real value, Egbert McMillan took up the offer and paid the $500 iu cash.
 This deal was closed Saturday and following this the big barn was offered at au uureasonably low price. Learning of these facts Henry Legate became sus- .picious that something was wrong and applied for the order prevent ing a further transfer of the property to innocent purchasers until an investigation could be made.
 After this injunction was served ou Lorton Monday afternoon he drew the money which he had re- ceiyed from the sale of the livery business out of the bank and left on the northbound afternoon train.
 A warrent was then procured and mes s4ges sent out in an ef- fort to bring the man into custo- dy.
 A man was arrested at Talihini Tuesday but after investigation proved not to be Lorton and was released.
 It is also said that George w. Whitsctt, a Kansas City attorney who has been in Mena several days and left town Monday, was arrested at Howe, but this mistake was also soon discovered and he was allowed to continue his jour. ney.
 The nature and the extent of the swindling game, if such 1t is, which has caught the Legate Bros. is not known. It seems that George Legate, who has been away a good deal of late made the deal and came to Meua with Lorton, soon after closing up the trapsfer.
 George returned again to a .polnt in Texas, where he IS in- terested in railroad building. Attorney E. J. Luudy, who is acting as attorney for the Le- gates, stated that he under stood his clients had traded their property for ten stocks ot hard ware, each valued at S3,00O. They were to get these stocks of hardware, representing S3J,0O0, upon a further payment of S7, 500, which left $22, 800 as the value placed upon their Mena property in the trade. Where these stocks arc located Mir. Lundy does not know, but the supposition IS, since the strange action of Lorton and his disappearance, that 1t is bunco deal and the stocks oi hardware, if they exist at all, are fake stuff and not of value as renresented.
