about 2:30 o'clock, Sam Russell, a
little negro man who was sent to the
state penitentiary several weeks ago
from this county for grand larceny
did not successfully make his get

w. B. AleXander's home on West
Fifth avenue, he walked right into
the arms of Deputy Sheriff Clint c.

The negro arrived at his home
here about 5 o'clock. w. B. Alex
ander's auto was in the shed near
his home and Deputy Sheriff Green
secreted himself in the car, expect
ing Russell to appear shortly. At
o'clock, just as the officer had fig
ured, Russell walked into the yard
and knocked on the door of his cab
in, where his wife was at work. Be-
fore she could open the door Rus

the officer the pistol had been there

his race with the bloodhounds. He
says the dogs were so close on him
at one time that he feared being de-
voured by them and to save himself
he jumped into the Arkansas river,
at point near Grady. The dogs
followed him into the water and af-

bank after swimming to the opposite
side, with the dogs close on his heels,
he plunged into the stream again
and swan bask to the side from
which he came. He said he success
fully lost the dogs by this second
trip across the stream and after
walking through woods and marshes
he reached Pine Bluff Russell has
served only about two months of his
years sentence.

BALLOoNISTS LAND
 ON ENGLISH SOIL


 Kirkwall, Scotland, December 31- (special)-"Are we in England? We have come in a balloon" These were the words, uttered in strong Ger man accent, which startled the in- mates of Park cottage, near Kirkwall, about 10 o'clock one night recently. We thought we were in Sweden" added the spokesman, till we saw the word push" on your door bell"
 On being asked to enter, two men covered with blood and mud staggered into the house. The story told by the balloonists was thrilling. It appeared that three gentlemen-Herr Distler, managing director of the Deutcher Touring club; Captain Joerdens. a re- tired German army officer and Herr Matzger, manager of rubber factory for automobiIes-all belonging to Munich, left that town in the Deutscher Touring clubs balloon for a "A hours ascent.
 About 7:s0 next morning" Herr Distler states. "the balloonists' great est dread appeared. We heard the roar ing of the sea. The wind was blowing strongly from the southeast. We came down to locate our position. So great was our speed, that the basket dashed against the sea and we were immersed. andy Her Distler pRthetically added, ''wlien we rose clear again we were two" Herr Metzger was not seen any more Relieved of the weight of one passenger the balloon rose out of dam

NORTH HAVEN CIRCLE = YULETIDE CELEBRATION

The North Haven Circle gave their an- nual Christmas entertainment at the home of Mrs. E. J. Blackwood Thursday evening. The lower floor was thrown to- gether and decorated with Christmas bells, holly, mistletoe and poinsetta. Tn the dining room the chandelier was cov- cred with mistletoe, from which depended candy-kisses There was one for each gentleman present, and he was invited
 with his partner, to enter and receive his kiss under the mistetoe. This created much merriment, as it was not known that his kiss was to be in the form of candy. As the guests arrived each gen. tleman received a tiny piece of the dress worn by one of the ladies. From this sample he was to find the lady whose dress corresponded with the sample, and she was to be his partner for the evening
 After finding their partners and spending a few moments together the ladies were left in the parlor and the gentlemen con- ducted to the library. The ladies were told to draw a likeness of her partner
 and the gentlemen were asked to write a description of theirs. Miss Anna Belle Hamil received the ladies' prize, and MT. Fred Sherrod the gentlemans prize. The remainder of the evening was spent play ing progressive Santa. Mrs. w. w. Silk carried off the ladys prize, hand-paint- ed vaise. MT. c. D.

 Twice during the darkness the bal loonists descended. but each time struck the waves. At last everything, even the anchor, had to be cast over board, and the emergency rope was pulled to release the remainder of the gas as soon as the balloonists knew they were over land. Still so great was the impetus that wire fences and dykes were torn down as the balloon whirled along, while Herr Distler and Captain Joerdens lay crouched in the bottom of the, basket. expecting each minute to be their last.

Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland. Ore.


One Of the most remarkable rocks In
the world is that known as the bal
ancing rock which stands on the
bank Of the Willamette river a short
distance above the city of Portland.
Ore. Rising from broad base is Il
small column roughly round in shape.
Just above this is huge mass Of rock
bearing tree on the summit. the total
height Of rock and column being about
a hundred feet.
Although II great deal larger and
heavier than the pillar on which it
stands, the big rock is very accurately
balanced. For how many centuries
this odd freak has stood not even the
wisest scientists are able to determine.
but it has evidently been there for q
very long period
The entire rock Is of volcanic ma
ture, and the most singular thing
about it is the fact that the knob and
pillar are entirely disjointed from one
another. Wind and weather no doubt
are slowly wearing the balancing
rock" away, but the process is so i'm
percentible that, failing some unfore-
seen catastrophe, the monument will
probably endure for many centuries
