CHEETAH HUNT IN INDIA
Sport Was Once Very Popular With
English Resldents-Is Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice.
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In
dian princes in former days, although
the Initiation Of European forms Of
sport has done much In these times
to rob 1t Of ancient vogue.
1t was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohnmmedan chieftains over the
greater part Of India, for the cheetah
even now is not rare beast, and a
common enough.
Another animal used In the same
way by Indian mobiles was a sort Of
lynx. spelled variously as "shoe-
goose" "syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the Chez
tab. However. 1t was not only In
dians who indulged in this form Of
sport.
1t was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans us we'll in the days when
they were content to abide in India
for fifteen years at stretch and
wnen they lived lIndienne In a way
unknown to modern times. More than
one OF the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs. which were fire..
quently presents from friendly chiefs.
1t may easily be imagined that chez
tab hunting was very good sport and
welcomed by the servants Of the
Company as an excellent substitute

Plans for the relief of school sit

that of the Conway district, were dis
cussed at mass meeting of citizens
Of Benton, Saline county, a few days
ago. The condition of the school dis
trict at that place was described in

Courier as saying:
"A few years ago we had an old
wooden building. We thought it time
to have a new building" said the
Judge, land had special act passed
BY the legislature allowing the dis
trict to issue bonds in the sum OF
$4,000 to build brick building. The
building erected cost $4,000, and
would cost at least 100000 to build
today. The bonds drew eight per
cent interest. The bonds have been
paid off at the rate of $500 year.
This school building was erected to
take care of 400 pupils, but we have
grown, and now have enrolled 672.

AGED FISHERMAN
DIES SUDDENLY
From Fridays Daily.

From Friday's Daily.
d. W. Watkins, an aged fisherman
and farmer who lived on Palarm
creek, two miles northeast of May
flower, died suddenly near the banks
of the creek yesterday morning. Mr..
Watkins had gone from his home
early in the morning to run his nets
and the eXertion evidently brought on
hemorrhage which caused his death.
He was alone when the attack came
on and the circumstances showed that
he had made his way to the creek
bank and walked a distance of about
80 yards before he fell The pres
ence of the blood and the fact that he
was heard to call for aid at first led
to the belief that foul play was the
cause of his death, and a coroner's
inquest was held over the body, but
the verdict was that death occurred
from natural causes. The body was
buried at Antioch cemetery this
morning. Mr.. Watkins is survived
by his wife, one son, j. d. Watkins,
and one daughter, Miss Molly Wat
kins.

MANY TONS OF
FERTILIZER sold

From Thursdays Daily.
This week has witnessed the most
active trade in fertilizer ever known
in Conway before. Since the weather
has made farm work impossible for
the past few days, hundreds of wag-
ons have been coming in for fertilizer.
One dealer said today that he had al
ready sold seven carloads of CONNER
cial fertilizer this week, and everyone
handling this commodity is busily en-
gagged in selling it to the farmers.
The late season, it is thought, is re-
sponsible for the unusual demand, the
farmers feeling that it is necessary to
use artificial means to rush their
crops to maturity.
