PRACTICING ECONOMY
City Expenses in June Were S400 Less than Average of Last Twelve
 Months.

City Clerk F. Nj. Jones, in footing up the expenditures of the last month, as shown by warrants issued. found that they amounted in all to S709 .43, of which $96.35 was for accounts held over from the previous month. This left net expenditure for June of $6l9.OS, which is very close to S40O less than the average for the past twelve months. The present city administration is making strong effort at proper economy, with a view to putting the city on the right side of the ledger financially. This was made doubly necessary through the S5,000 appropriation a few months ago, for fighting the Kansas City Southern injunction suit.
 The total revenues for the year in Mena are about $15,000, not includ- ing the road tax money, of which it gets 70 per cent under the law enact ed at the last session of the legisla- tuTe.

NEGRO IS FOUND
 HANGING TO TREE
Had Confessed to Robbing and Burning a Residence Work of Mob Done Quietly and Quickly = Srs-
 poets Narrow Escape.

Huttig, July 7.-A mob, which diC l it's work so quietly and quickly thai
 none in town who did not take part
 was awakened, broke into the jai
 here last night and lynched San
 Powell, who yesterday confessed he
 robbed and burned a home here last
 month. The negro's body was found
 hanging from the limb of tree early
 this morning by Marshal E. Nj. Ca
 baniss, who is in charge of the jail On the night of June 25 the home of A. E. Lucas, filer in the Union sawmill here. was broken open while Lucas was attending church. The house was discovered to be in flames shortly afterward and was destroyed. A trunk containing $400 in cash and some clothing, in the house at the time of the fire, was only partially burned, and an examination disclosed that it had been broken open before the house was burned.
 Suspicion rested upon Powell, who was employed by Lucas. and when the following Wednesday he disap- peared this suspicion became con firmed. He was followed to Rochelle, La, and was captured there. Mar shal Cabaniss brought him back here July and he was lodged in the town lookup.
 Yesterday the negro made full confession. He said that he stole the money and set fire to the house. No threats were made against the negro and last nights developments were entirely unexpected. Marshal Cabaniss, who is in charge of the jail sleeps at home and the lock-up was unattended last night.
 Shortly before daylight this morning
 he marshal went to the jail and dis
 overed that the door had been forced and that the negro was missing. Foot lsints leading from the jail to a fence in the rear were traced by the mar shal The trail led through the town to the western end of Huttig, and there. swinging from the limb of a tree, Cabaniss found the dead body of Powell A crowd quickly gathered and the body vas cut down.
 This evening County Coroner T. M. Pinson of Fl Dorado arrived in Huttig and an inquest was held. The yer dict of the jury was that the negro came to his death from hanging by unknown persons.
 This afternoon Marshal Cabaniss went to the home of Claude Holman. another negro, who, it is alleged had been wearing clothes that were stolen from Lucas home on the night of the fire The negro, evidently suspecting that Cabaniss intended to arrest him, armed himself with a shot gun and succeeded in holding the officer of.
 Leaving man to watch the house Cabaniss went back to the main part of town for help. A crowd quickly formed and hurried to Holman s house, but the negro had left by rear door and disappeared. What the crowd, which was in an ugly humor. might have done had the black been caught, is a matter of conjecture.

TO LIVE. OR DIE. IN OKLAHOMA
But Nick. Being Only Faithful Horse,
 Can't HeIp It.

Old Nick, probably the best known and least pretentious horse that ever ground the gravel of Mena streets un- der his hoofs. has gone to Oklahoma, where his present owner intends to farm. With his mate. younger horse, Old Nick was driven through Mena Wednesday. hitched to fully laden movers wagon.
 In about the year of 1897. when Mena was but an infant, the writer frequently saw. hitched beside a mule to big log wagon. an unusually good looking bay horse. Coming up to the team one day while it was standing, the driver was accosted regarding the animal, and among other things 1t was developed that, to use the owner s words. that horse already has worked to death three mates"
 As years went by the logging went on and Nick did his full share. dragging the big wagon up the steep and rocky hills, and holding back with every nerve many cruel load that plunged and pushed down behind him. And, teo, he suffered other unmerited cruel ties that were not of mere load or labor,
 Then the logging ceased. and dray- ing on Mena streets began for old Nick. now with one mate. then another
 Then came the hack line. and even harder times for the faithful horse, when he was made, because strong and true, to do double duty, working day and night, with two other horses alternating on the other side of the pole.
 Oftentimes Old Nick was so poor. so worn by blows and labor that he could hardly go-hut he did, just the same
 When the end seemed all but here for the faithful brute, he went into the hands of Bud Randolph, who has a true mans love for horse, and here regular feed and fair treatment must have made the old fellow feel that he was in horse heaven.
 Later he showed up in the hands of James Emerson. Mena's street commissioner, drawing loads of dirt and stone and cinders on the city streets, and here the rejuvenation from a despairing rack of bones, be- gun by Mir. Randolph. was completed, and it was said that often when Old Nick was turned loose in a lot he would caper about like 3-year-old.
 A few weeks ago man came over from Womble and bought Old Nick, now sleek and fat. with his mate, and drove them away. They were sold to the present owner, a man by the name of Rose, who has now gone to Oklahoma to farm. He bought Old Nick as 10 years old. but the old fel- low has suffered many a worse cut from the human kind, and he Fl try as hard to do the work of a 10-year-old, and will come as near doing it, as many younger animal.
 It is interesting to note that as Old Nick was driven down Mena street on his Oklahoma journey, he was recoe- nized by J. Nj. Allen, now of Big Cedar, Oklahoma. who stated that he knew him when the lumber business in Polk county was first opened up by the coming of the railroad in 1896. Old Nick was then hauling a log wagon near Hatfield.
