A serious accident was narrowly
averted Thursday morning when Ada,
the 4-year-old daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Gilbert OF Olney Springs, was
poking the fire during her mothers
absence from the house and set fire to
her clothing. The mothers timely re-
turn prevented a tragedy and she
found not only the child's clothing on
fire but dolls dress blazing on top Of

was quite badly burned about the face

MILITIA AT WALNUT RIDGE.
Quiet Is Restored, but Half of Ne. groes Have Already Depart
 cd From Town.

Walnut Ridge, April 2i.-All is quiet in Walnut Ridge today, fol- lowing the disturbances during the past two weeks on account of in- timidation of negroes by unknown whites, which resulted in the dy- namlting of the house of one negro and an exodus of the black popula- ton to other towns. It is estimated that there were about four hundred negroes i'll town at the beginning of the trouble, and about half of these have gone. They left yesterday and last night by the train load.
 Captain $. A. Spads, with com pany of militia from Black Rock, arrived here today and went into camp. Although some of the citi- zens are opposed to the quartering of the militia here, it is believed that their presence will insure the peace and safety of property and probably prevent violence.
 The oil mills are the greatest suf- ferers as the result of the exodus of negro labor. The negroes who have remained in town are alarmed, but seem to feel more secure since the arrival of the militia.

 For a space of two hours General Duncan and officers of his staff heard accounts of conditions in Mexico from the lips of those who have gone through both the Madero and present revolutions. They pie tured a reign of anarchy and law lessness. From personal observa- ton they related tales of creulty to men, outrages and insult to women, pillage and robbery were perpetual ed by rowing bands of guerillas, which infest all parts of the coun- try. They told of the hatred exist ing for all Americans and said the American flag was hissed even in Mexico City. In other parts of the republic, they said, they have seen Old Glory pulled from it's flag pole, torn to pieces and trampled in the dust,

NEBRASKANS GIVE ROOSEVELT LEAD
Former President Wins Over Taft by Big Majority-Clark Also
 Is Ahead.

Omaha. Neb.. April 2l.-That Col. Roosevelt carried Nebraska by a big majority in the presidential pref erence primary Friday was made certain and strength was added to the belief that Champ Clark was the Democratic choice, when added re- turns from the election came m to- day. All returns received thus far, approximately one-fourth of the total vote cast, shows the following results:
 Republicans-Ro Roosevelt, 2i,i9i, LaFollette S,392, Taft S,039.
 Democrats-Clark S,949, Harmon 6.i5l. Wilson 6,i35.
 Victor Rosewater, acting chair man of the National Republican Committed. said today that he be- lieved Roosevelt had polled from two and one-half to three times as many votes as either LaFollette or Taft.
 Indications are that Champ Clark has carried the First. Fourth. fiilh Ind Sixth districts. and will have a majority of the votes m the state.
 Woodrow Wilson has mol had a majority Of the returns received SO far from any of the six districts.

BITTER FIGHT IN
 PULASKI C. Q. P.
Taft and Roosevelt Forces Win Battle for Control of County Organizati0n-COunty Con-
 vention Thursday.

Little Rock, April 22.-The fight of the Roosevelt and Taft forces in Arkansas will be centered this week largely in Pulaski county. The Re- publican county convention is to be held nex, Thursday afternoon, and it is expected that there will be one of the liveliest fights that has been seen in local Republican politics for some time. Both factions are pre- pairing for a hard battle, as it is expected that the result in this county will have a big effect throughout the state.
 The Taft forces are now in com plete control of the Pulaski county organization, while the Roosevelt leaders incuIde the men who con- trolled the county for years, until they were defeated by the present organization four years ago. The fight to be waged this week not only involves the Roosevelt contest, but also the control of the party machinery n the county.
 The county convention will be held at Turner hall at l:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon.

ROCK ISLAND HOLD-UP
Passengers in Pullman of Golden State Limited Robbed Near Bureau, Ill.-Negro Por-
 ter a Hero.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 22.-Two masked men searched and robbed occupants of the sleeping car Not tingham on the Chicago, Rock Is land and Pacific Railways Golden State Limited early yesterday morn ing, just after the train left Bureau, H., bound for Kansas City. Money and valuables estimated at sS50 were taken from eight passengers.
 The manner of the holdup leads officers to believe that William La Trasse, who, single-handed, held up a Missouri Pacific train between Kansas City and Leayenworth a year ago last Christmas, was one of the Rock Island robbers. LaTrasse escaped from the Wyandotte coun- ty jail after he had been sentenced to prison for the Missouri Pacific robbery, and has never been eap- tured.
 While the robbers were busy gathering loot from the passengers the negro porter slipped away from them. locked the front door of the car and pulled the air rope and stopped the train. The robbers then beat him with butts of re- yolvers and ran out the other end Of the car.

SUFFERING
 IN FLOOD DISTRICTS
Every Effort Being Made to For ward Food and Clothing to Hun dreds Maro0ned by Creyasses
 Many Without Food.

Rosedale, Miss, April 22.--Intense suffering is reported because of the floods, throughout the Bogue pha- liah district or northwestern Mis- sissippi, which embraces the coun- ties of Bolivar, sunnower and Washington.
 The water throughout lhe terri tory drained by Bogue phaliah and the Big Sunflower river is from three to l5 feet deep, and great damage has already been done. Hundreds of persons are reported marooned on knolls, house-tops and in trees. Many have no food and few sufficiently clothed. About 300 negroes are quartered in box ears at Stoneville, Miss. with nothing to eat.
 The question of food is the most serious now facing the officials and the relief parties. United States army officers are rushing rations to the flooded districts, and in addi- ton, scores of boats and launches are busily engaged distributing food and clothing. But because of the vast area under water 1t is a slow operation, and great work ing force is necessary.

MAY LEGALIZE HORSE RAGING
Hot Springs Will Initiate Law for
 Garland County.

Hot Springs, April 23.-The first petition under the initiative amend ment asking for the revival of horse racing at Hot Springs was circulated today in this city, over 800 signatures being secured. The necessary percentage of voters for submitting the matter at the next election is assured. It is believed Garland county. to which it is pro- posed to leave the matter under the initiative, will vote overwhelm- ingly to restore racing at both Oak lawn and Essex parks, where there are magnificent tracks. The plan calls for racing commission of five appointed by the county judge with full jurisdiction over the race courses. The plan includes the Paris muiuel system. instead of the old style b0okmaking.
