Chase Ended, Manhunters Return.

Chase Ended, ManhunterS Return'
Allendale, May 29.-All members OF
the man-hunting posse have returned
from Georgia and are full of their ad-
ventures and hair-breadth escapes
the pursuit of Richard Henry Austin,
who for several weeks puzzled officers
of experience by his daring feats. To
all appearances he was absolutely
without fear, and by his trickery and
his Jungle sense showed his kinship
to the Indian.
After his capture he related with
composure how he eluded his pursu-
ers, lodging them like wild animal,
SAYING that often the men would pass
very near him, and that only once did
he become really frightened, and that
was when he thought he was cor
nered in a swamp, but by keeping his
head he made his escape. 1t is relat-
ed that he was a negro of some educa-
ton, being able to write good hand.
The members of the posse are un-
stinted in their praise of the Georgia
people for their aid in the hunt an
for their hospitality. A number of mt-l
from this section left here for Hamp-
ton last night to view the body of the
noted desperate.

A Mobiles Lot is his who cIlngs

Sublime he sits, no Worldly Strife

The only Rhythm that he knows,
A logarithm.

FL PASO WANTS CONTROL
 AT BISBEE AND DOUGLASS
J. D. Hughes, Auto Fan from Pass City Voices Wish Of Texans in
 Coming Road Race.

Tn order to obtain the largest mum ber of entries possible for the El Paso- Phoenix road race during fair week, Fl Paso is anxious that q high control be arranged for either Doug las or Bisbec." said J. D. Hughes of Fl Paso. who is visiting in the city. MT. Hughes is one of the road boost CTS and automobile fans of the Pass City. He is returning to his home from the Pacific coast. In Fl PasO the J. D. Hughes Printing company is recognized as one of the largest institutions of it's kind in the south west, and probably the largest be- tween Fort Worth and Los Angeles.
 The Fl Paso fans are very en- thusiastic over the race, and we quite expect to have d great representation from the Pass City in Phoenix dur ing Fair week. Many of these will travel over the road in their automo- piles some probably proceeding the racers and some following. Then there will be doubtless a large dele gation come by train. It is the first time that Fl Paso has been on the road race map, and realizing the value from an advertising standpoint of the proposition we intend to go into the thing to the limit.
 The reason that a Douglas or Bisbee control is asked is on account of the dangerous roads after Bisbee is left behind. We believe that faster time and a better race will be had with the Bisbce control than with the Tucson control. The racers will, however. visit Tucson as point on the race, and it will doubtless be a daylight control, as it is a place of importance in the race"
 Referring to Phoenix MT. Hughes expressed his pleasure at the inn provcment in the city. T used to come to Phoenix regularly twenty five years ago" he said. Then either came down by stage from Prescott. or from Maricopa. I no ticcd the wonderful and beautiful condition of the valley as I came through on the train. and l only hope we can do as well with our Elephant Butte dam as the people of this val ley are doing with the Roosevelt dam."

NEW BAND HAS CONCERT STOPPED BY WIND STORM
Demonstration By AcoIus Prevents Sweet Strains of New Musical
 Organization Being Rendered.

It took the biggest sand storm
 Phoenix has had in d long time to
 discourage the new band in it's con
 cert from the balcony of the Ford hotel last evening. X monster au-
 dicnce had gathered to hear the new
 est musical organization so much
 spoken of about town, and actually
 did get to hear one splendid piece
 It was the March ReligioSo. and 1t was magnificent selection to start
 out d Sunday evening concert. The
 band was in the first movement of
 the second number of the Grand Pot
 Pourri when a terrific storm of wind
 and sand drove the music flying in
 every direction. The notes also were
 badly dispersed For time some of the musicians attempted to pit their strength against that of Acolus, but the try failed So the band stopped amid general regret.
 Short as was the effort, it con vinccd the large audience that the l band really can play music. The numbers were well arranged The instruments are nicely balanced, and the players inject a great deal of feeling into their work. There will be many delightful concerts from the new band in the next few months. The concert that was to have been rendered last evening was postponed until Thursday night, when it will | be rendered at the same time and place. A new program will be pre- scnted next Sunday evening.

BEAR HAD BOY UP \ TREE
NoungSter, Playing With Teddy
 Was q Real Climber"

We have all heard the expression up tree, but probably none of us have experienced all the sensa- ton attendant on such a condition as did a small boy Thursday affer- noon. Two little fellows were en- gagged in feeding the large cinna- mona bear, Teddy, belonging fo inc Oklahoma Cowboys show and were having great fun at it. The bear was paying all his attention to the boy with the food. and stretched ms chain to the limit. The other boy came up between the bear and the tree to which he was fastened Teddy, thinking there were some more good things to eat. good na- turediy turned toward the lad who not being used 10 bears. and think ing that he would probably he eaten allNe. turned and. with agility Whlch would have done credit fo a monkey sprang into the branches
 Ills companion became frightened alSo' and after crying uslilv for nelp' succeeded in getting some of Inc showmen 10 the spot. The bov was brought down without fbo least trouble. It was just a nIain case of misunderstanding on fbn part or bear and boy.

BLIND MAN IN CALABOOSE.
Arrested for Drunkenness, Was
 Saucy to Police Judge.

Thursday morning a blind man with French harp and guitar was going from door to door in the business section of town, making music and soliciting such coins as the appreciative or charitably in clined were disposed to give.
 Later in the day. when he had drained too freely the "cup that cheers" he became so "cheerful' as to be a nuisance and had to be taken in charge by officers, and Friday morning was taken before Police Judge Burnett, and gave the name of T. Burns, but would not say as to whereabouts of residence.
 When Judge Burnett had heard the evidence, he expressed regret at having tO fine a man in such condi- ton, but said could do nothing else. but made the fine as small as he could pointing out the neces- sity of obeying the law Burns thereupon grew flippant saying he cared nothing for the law and mak- ing other remarks of disrespect to court and customs.
 The judge thereupon turned him over to the officers with instruc- tions to lock him in the city bas- tile-and ''bastile' is good in this ease.

1T WAS 4 REAL SIEGE
Deputy Sheriff Hungate Held at Bay for Hours by Escaped Con-
 Vict, but Won Out.

Accidents barred Homer Smith, who, with Garland Livingston, re- gently escaped from the state farm near Little Rock, is back on duty, serving out his original four-year sentence and whatever trimmings are added for his fly at liberty. He was captured at the home of his parents west of Wickes and left for the penitentiary Sunday in charge of Deputy Sheriff Norris.
 Smith was one of a gang of rob bers captured a few months ago and convicted at DeQueen of burg larizing stores, mostly along the Kansas City Southern. He was giv- en a sentence of four years, and after serving a short time on the big state farm, made his escape, and with him was Garland Livingston, partner in crime and punishment. Both, it is thought, came to Polk county.
 Deputy Sheriff Willis Hungate of Grannis got a tip that Smith was at the home of his father, west of Wickes, and, with a deputy, went after him. He found the escaped man at home, but he was armed and refused to surrender, barricad- ing himself in the house. After the officers had held out most of the day without food or water they sent for Sheriff Thornton. Learning that a posse was coming, Smith surrendered and was taken to Wickes.
 Sheriff Thornton and Deputy Sheriff Norris arrived there by au- to, and brought Smith back to town Friday night
 Livingston it is said, passed through Mena on a freight train last Tuesday, going north.
 On his trip 10 Little Rock, Mir. Norris also had charge of a Mrs. Johnson. an insane woman from the west part of the county

THE LEADERS COMING.

One of the greatest forces at work developing Arkansas along agricul- tural lines is the Farm Demonstra- tion movement fathered and sup ported by the national government through the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 Fortunate indeed is the county and the city that is located in a county where this work is being well cared on, and Polk county and Mena are of these fortunate communities.
 Besides the benefits that are de- rived from better crops, more fo- rage, improved lands, etc., the di- rect results of the demonstration work. Polk county has been adver- tised far and wide by the great yields made by our boys and the premiums they have won in cOmpe- tition with other counties and other states.
 All this leads up to the fact that the men at the head of this work in Arkansas will arrive in Mena Thursday afternoon. June i9. and will spend the most of Friday with us. They will make a drive into the country in the morning, visit the Experiment station, and at ? o'clock will be at the court house to meet all who come, to tell us what they are trying to do. and aid us by pointing out ways to pros perity-ways that are as important to business men as to farmers, and to farmers as to business men.
 Let us arrange to meet these men. give them a hearty greeting and accept what they offer.
