 A ripple of excitement was created in Green Forest Saturday when the Bank of Green Forest received a tele- gram from the Marshal of Aurora, Mo-, telling them to look out for bank robbers. An attempt was made to rob one of the banks in that town at an early hour in the day and the robbers were thought to be headed overland this way. They didn't show up, how ever, and all the fun attending a-mix- up that might have been caused by their arrival was missed. Bank rob bers would be in poor business in Green Forest, as the safe here is abso- lutely burglar proof.

He has been waiting for a cessation of hostilities down there since early in January, when he expect ed to return to his old position as fore man of the concentrating plant at Dolores.

We are glad he has decided not to return. We need him to help build up Green Forest.
 J. B. Reeves and J. H. Buell. were in attendance at the U. S.. Court at liar rison first of the week to answer the allegations against them, in which the government sought to recover money from them in payment for lumber they purchased from one Jim Wilson on Piney some three years ago, which is alledged to have been cut from land on which final proof had not been made The case was compromised and these gentlemen got out of the difficulty by paying for the lumber about three times. In the case of Mir. Reeves, he had paid Wilson for a considerable amount of lumber that he did not get, as Wilson skipped the country and left him without any recourse whatever. IL SGeIilS all UIJuSl ISdIuIS Ol JlIt idW that will compel people to pay for lum- Der in this way It makes it necessary for every man who buys foot of lum- Der from hauler to know that the party has cut it from patented land The fact that the seller is subject to criminal prosecution would seem suffi- cient As the law now stands, lumber haulers are placed to serious disad- vantage Every man that buys from them is taking chances.
