Bullets to Set Balloons on Fire.

Tests have been made in Germany
with a special projectile which is in
tended to repel dirigibles and which is
designed not only to pierce a gas en-
velope, but also to set fire to the gas.
This projectile, fired from the old Ger
man rifle known as model II" which
has caliber of IL millimeters, is pro-
vided with little wings that open in
fight under the influence of a spring,
compressed while the projectile is still
in the rifle barrel, but expanded as
soon as the muzzle is passed
An ordinary bullet leaves such a
small hole in an envelope that the gas
escapes through it but slowly. The
wings on the improved bullet tear a
hole of appreciable size in the fabric.
What is more, they retard the bullet
sufficiently to ignite illuminate con-
tanned in the bullet. 1t is said that ex-
periments conducted at Neumannswald
gave encouraging results.-Scientific

WATER FAMINE IN BRINKEY

 Fire Protection and on Verge of Water Famine


On Tuesday evening about 7:3C o'clock, the Brinkley water
 went out, !" and from that time until late Wednesday, all of Brlnkley was as dry as a bone.
 Had a fire have broken out, the entire town would have been at the mercy of flames, and with everything as dry as a bone and the high wind blowing, there would not have been possible snow of stopping the flames, until 1t had burned out.
 Thus tits that the property owners of Rrinkley are having to submit to the outrageous treatment of the owners of the Water Co. who have been PROMISING satisfactory service for the past year and half.
 When Manager Thompson of the Brinkley Electric Light 6 Water Co, bought the plant. he promised that the system would be gone over and put in first class condition, with day electric current, a new supply of palatable deep we'll water, etc.

Mrs. Linnie Crisham Acci.
 dently Killed

Cfl--ssr-sda morning last Mrs. Linnie Grisham living with her husband or the Gree',lee farm six miles southwest of Brinkley, accidently shot herself with a Winchester rife. from the effects of which she died in a few min- utes.
 Mr. and Mrs. Grisham had been fishing and hunting on the lake and were returning in a boat, in the bottom of which the Win chester had been laid. When the boat landed Mrs. Grisham reach ed down and took hold of the barrel of the rife, pulling it to her to take it out when the ham, mer struck on a portion of the boat and exploded. sending the bullet through the breast of Mrs. Grisham killing her almost in- ] stantly.
 A neighbcr in writing of Mrs. Grlsham says: She came to our community with her husband and family last winter. Altho' she has only lived among us a few months she won many friends who deeply sympathize With her loved ones in their sad bereavement. To know her was to love her; to name her was to praise, 1t is sad to give up our loved ones but our Heavenly rather knows best and tell us in nls word that all things work together for good to them that love him.
 Mrs. Grisham was a consistent memberof the Christian church always exhibiting those traits of character. that won for her the confidence and esteem of friends.
 So grleve not for her dear loved ones. She waits for you at the beautiful gate, so trust in the same loving Soviour, that she dld, and meet her where there snail be no more sad parting, but happy reunion forever.

 went into effect today. Under its terms not a drop of intoxicat-

 The law is equally as rigid with the exclusive regulations in re- gard to the corner saloon. Under the term of the new law Kenny feared he would lose his place of business and after breeding over the fact for several days he took poison. His place will be closed. /

Hrs. Lillie Spivey.Linch and son. Robert Spivey Secure Bail in Su.
 preme Cour, on
 Monday

In the Supreme Court on Monday. Mrs Lillie Spivey-Linch and her son, Robert Spivey, who were remanded to jail with out bond at their examining trial in Brinkley a few weeks ago on the charge of murdering Robt. c. Linen at their place at Sauls- burg, were given bail in the amount of $5OOO each.
 Judge Lanford of the Circuit Court refused the parties bail two weeks ago today, court con- vening in Clarendon.
 This is the case which has proven the most sesationalS lever in in this section and it is the understanding that not near all of the sensational developments have peen made public; that the prosecution is the outcome of several weeks of work by the Burns Detective Agency.
 It Is said that a Burns detect i've went to the Spivey home and secured employment disguised as a farm hand and that the evil dence he claims to have secured while in that disguise furnished the principal grounds for the prosecution.
 The case will come up at the Fall term of the Circuit Court.

repaid by an apparent careless
 indifference as to their needs. [ The city council is composed o1
 business men who are well post
 ed on business matters and are fully capable of dealing with the
 Water Company for their open disregard of the rights of the people. Manager Thompson is not merly imposing upon six men when he plays" with the city council of Brinkley for a year and half, but he is dealing with 5000 people in just the same way, and he does it with such an open disregard of justice and right that should preclude any luther consideration at the hands of those with whom he is deal- ing.
 Let the city council have a meeting and declare.the franchise forfeited, and give someone else a show to come here and give us fair and descent service.
 NOTE; The local manager of Mir. Thompson, Mr. Jerre Neff, is one of the cleverest. best young fellows in a days journey and does his best to serve both the people and his employer, but Jerre's hands are evidently badly tied" by Thompson's methods.
