ALREADY SECURING
ROUNDUP OUTLAWS

Although 1t Is yer three months be-
fore the Roundup, President T. d.
Taylor and James H. Sturgis, director
of livestock, are already at work Sc
curing good bucking stock for the an
nual show and hardly a day passes
that some outlaw or alleged outlaw
is not tried out at the grounds to de-
termine the possibilities within him.
This morning two buckers which
Ted Angel brought over from the
lee country with him were given
test by AL White, a buckaroo of con-
siderable ability Both were horses of
pretty good size, one a gray and the
other a bay. The gray proved to be
the hardest bucker of the two but
even he could not unseat his rider
However, neither animal has recoy-
cred from the long trip here and the
Roundup officials believe both are
able to put up creditable buck when
rested, and they may be purchased
outright
Several days ago, a real bucker was
discovered when l.. f. Mccoy the
bulldogger and buckaroo, essayed to
ride a little buckskin. He only lasted
a few jumps and was then propelled
from his seat with more force than
grace. The animal was Immediately
purchased
Learning that the Roundup asso-
citation is in the market for good
buckers, many horsemen are sending
stock here for tryouts and in this
way, a string of first class buckers is
being secured Already the associ-
alton ownes Long Tom. Lightfoot and
a number of other star performers of
past Round-ups and indications are
that when the contests are put on this
year it will be with a bad animal for
each rider

First American Girl to Fly Comes

WAS 1000 FEET IN AIR
W. A. Willard Was Passcnger-Gust

Occupants Thrown Out - Fal!
Into Five Feet of Water.

Squanton Aviation Field, Mass,
July miss Harriet Quimby, woman
aviator, and w. A. Willard, manager
of the aviation meet now being held
at Atlantic, dropped 1000 feet yester-
day afternoon and were instantly kill
ed. Both We're terribly mangled.
Miss Quimby was one of two avia-
tors engaged to fly here.
Miss Quimby was an American girl.
She was the first woman to take out
an aviator's livense in America. Her
most thrilling flight was across the
English channel. No other woman
has made this flight.
The accident happened when Miss
Quimby and Willard were returning
from a trip over Boston harbor to
Boston light, n distance of 20 miles
in all. The flight was made in 90
minutes. The Bleriot, one of the lat
est models of military aeroplane, cir
cled the aviation field and scared
out over the Savin Hill Yacht club,
just outside the aviation grounds.
Death Instantaneous
Heading back into the eight mile
guty wind Miss Quimby started to

When 1000 Feet Above Earth.
new DEVICE RESPONSIBLE
Gas Pressure Was Too Strone for
Bag-Bis Air Craft Was to Have
Attempted Trip Across Atlantic
Men Die Instantly.

Atlantic City, ~ J., July 2.-Mel-
vim Naniman, his brother Valvin Van
imam. Fred Elmer, George Boultion
and Walter Guest, were killed today
by the explosion of the dirigible ball
loon Akron, which burst 1000 feet in
the air. The men fell in nine feet
of water.
The balloon was being given a try
out preparatory to Melvin Vaniman's
proposed transatlantic flight. The
accident is believed due to the oper-
alton of a new device for compress
ing the gas. The pressure was so
strong the balloon gave way.
Thousand See Accident.
One thousand persons saw the ac-
cident. When the balloon fell to
the earth, men rushed forward, wo-
men screamed and some tainted. The
Akron fell far out over the water.
The device for COMPRISING the
gas and thereby controlling the move
ments of the balloon, was TO pump air
into the gas bag which would expand
thereby COMPRISING the gas within
the balloon.
Vaniman was chief engineer for
Walter Wellman in the latter's at
tempted flight across the Atlantic.
When the balloon was descending
from the 1000 foot altitude, the en-
veiope suddenly parted, the whole
quickly surrounded in sheets of flame
and the balloon dropped earthward
with terrible rapidity.
The bodies of the five men were
submerged in an inlet about half a
mile from the beach park. while the
remainder of the burning balloon and
the framework fell on the men,
crushing them into the waters. One
of the bodies taken from the water
was so badly mangled it was unrec-
ognizable.

1t was as a lawyer that Woodrow
Wilson made his first bow to the
world, and as president of Princeton
he became more widely known, but
1t was as reformer that he achieved
the limelight, and it was reform that
landed him in the New Jersey COVER

Der %, 1856. he was chirstened Thom-

he cut off the Thomas" because, as
he said. he wanted to use only one
name, and Thomas w. Wilson would
have been too commonplace. Gradu-

wisely in re-electing Joe Asher. county judge, for he has been valo- able man in that capacity.

Governor Donaghey is said to be very active at present strengthening his fences in his efforts to defeat Congressman Joe T. Robinson in the gubernatorial race. Congressman Robinson is going over the state making clean campaign and many speeches and Is gaining strength in every section. The Argenta Journal is the latest to predict that Congress man Robinson will be elected. Since the withdrawal of Attorney General Norwood from the race. it is general ly predicted over the state that Robinson will defeat Donaghey by a large majority. A representative of this paper recently visited Desha county and was agreeably surprised at the universal sentiment in that county for Robinson. Voters in that county, who are in position to know, declare that Robinson will carry every county in Southeast Ark ansas by a handsome majority.

Russell Gardner of St Louis Said to Have Made Offer to Stockholders.

Memphis, Jan. 20.--Although the Memphis Baseball Association is in- vowed in court clash, in which a receiversh p has been asked by the minority stockholders, the Memphis club is in demand. According to l stat ment today by R. G. Brown, prominent local attorney, he was act ing for Russell Gardner, a St. Louis millionaire, in an effort to secure all option on tae entire stock of the Memphis club
 According to Mir. Brown he had seen the majority and minority stock holders, which at present are split in the court proceedings and had offer l both sides eight for one for adoption on the stock Mr Gardner's last offer for an option on the Memphis club is simply renewal of his efforts for the past two years to purchase the Mem ph.s club.
 It is believed that MT. Gardner S.. wants the Memphis club as sort of plaything for Russell Jr. Russell Gardner was formerly in business h Memphis and both he and Russell Jr are well known in this vicinity.
 If MT. Gardner is successful in s. euripg tl.e Memphis club, it is rumor- ed that he will in all probability put the active management of the club } 1 affairs in the hands of Billy Joyce ;. former prominent New York Natlonai Leaguer, allowing Joyce to purchase some of the stock.

It is foregone conclusion that. Judge Grace will deny the request of the Alexander counsel In the event of the refusal of the court to hear the Alexander case again, it is most likely that Alexander's case will go to the Supreme Court Alexander will hardly get any relief from the higher court. He has been given q fair and impartial trial and the evil dence does not warrant any reversal of his case. In fact Alexander has alreaay been granted more privile- ges than any other defendant in a similar case tried in this section in many years.
