An Arkansas farmer whose hog was killed by a train wrote to the company claim agent for settlement, says writer. He penned his communication thus: Dear sir: My razorback stroll ed down your track a week ago today. Your twenty-nine came down the line and snuffed his life away. You can't blame me, the hog, you see, slipped thru the cattld gate: so kindly pen a check for ten, the debt to liquidate. Hereceived the following reply. Old twenty nine came down the line and killed your hog, we know, but razorbacks on railroad tracks quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend, we cannot send the check for which you pine. Just plant the dead, place OCT his heard, Here lies fool ish swine. FIX.

MOVEMENT STARTED
 TO BUILD CONCRETE
 WALK TO CEMETERY

A movement has been started to build a four foot concrete side walk from the end of the walk near Ira Gees residence on Main street to the DeAnn cemetery. James w. Beebe, civil engineer, who is employed by the city on the sewer job here, is the pro- moter. Mr. Beebe informs us that the walk can be constructed for 90 cents per lineal foot. It will require somewhere in the neighborhood of eighteen hun dred feet of walk to reach the cemetery.
 There are no funds to pay for this work and everyone is anxi' ous to see the walk built. As has been done in other places, Mr. Beebe assisted by the Gene tery Association will endeavor to sell advertising on the walk to local merchants and wholesale houses.
 This was done at Hope about two years ago. The walk there was built to the city park. A plat was made of the walk, show ing it divided into numbered squares, these squares being the width of the walk. On several was placed a short history of the town, giving the names of promi- nent men, various industries, population at different dates, and the names of the county and city officers at that time. The space on the other blocks was sold for advertising, a sufficient sum be ing realized to construct the walk.
 This advertising is as good as any sign ads, and it will be there for years. Besides, it will show degree of civic pride that will be highly commendable. There is not business man in Prescott who should not buy one or more of these spaces. Not only should the merchants use the space, but they should do everything in their power to get wholesale houses to place advertisements on the walk.
 We all want the walk, and it may be a long time before the Cemetery Association has the funds with which to construct it. We believe this is practical way to get it. When Mr. Beebe, or members of the Association, call on you give them every en- couragement

FIVE FLYERS KILLED

tBY UNITED PRESS AsSOCIATIONS]
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July g.
Melvin Vaninman, his brother,
Charles, George Boultion, Walter Gust
and Fred Elmer were killed at $50
this morning by the explosion Of the
dirigible balloon Akron, which was up
2OOO feet. They fell into nine feet of
water. The bodies had not been re-
covered two hours later.
In the presence of hundreds, Vani-
man ascended to tryout the craft in
which he planned to ascend 1000 feet
While aloft the bag appeared to
crumple and flames shot skyward, the
ship dropping. One man Ieaped. An
other was seen clinging to the body
of the ship, then he dropped. Men in
boats recovered one body, fearfully
burned, which is unidentified. Vani.
man, it is believed, was trying out a
new device for pumping hydrogen into
the main bag. which he believed would
revolutionize aeronautics.

CRIME NOT PROFITABLE
IS S0NTAG'S MESSAGE

The lesson taught last night at the
l.. & 8. theater by George Sontag, re-
formed train robber, is that life of
crime is not profitable career for
the youth, judged simply as a business
proposition. He, his brother and
Chris Evans devoted three years to
the pursuit and many years in paying
the penalty, and he estimates that
considering all that time the average
pay was 25 cents a day. Besides this,
he pointed to the misery that crimes
cause to the families of the criminals
and those of the victims of the crimes
perpetrated
