The second visit of the big lOl Ranch Wild West show to Brink lev will be on Thursday April 10th.
 The first visit of this big show in Brinkley will be remembered by many who saw 1t and pro- nounced it by far the best show of kind that they had ever seen. The show then carried 26 special oars and it now requires 36 cars to convey it.
 Several mammoth new attrac- lions have been added, among inc principal ones being the f.mous Auto Polo Game in which the contestants use automobiles instead of ponies. This attrac- tion has just been added and IL nav be ready with the lOl Ranch Show for the Brinkley engag- .ment. r,.,, u.

A Surprise to the Preacher

The ARGUS neglected to men, ton last week a clever little sur prise that was given to Pastor Edw. K. Temple of the First Presbyterian church by members and friends of his congregation on the previous Friday night.
 Pastor Temple and his mother had just gone to housekeeping and the surprise was in the na- ture of a pounding" or shower of good things. Forty or fifty friends both old and young
 dropped" in on them with various presents as evidences of love and esteem. Among the many things presented was a Sash belt about twelve feet long of brand new dollar bills. each one bearing the name of the friend who attached it to the belt. There were I6 of these bills.
 It was a very enjoyable little social both to the friends as well as Pastor Temple and his moth CT.

ANOTHER MAN SHOT
Midnight Intruder at Home of J. B. Dunlap Is
 Seriously Wound.

A midnight prowler at the
 home of J. B. Dunlap on north New York ave, on last Friday night was shot and seriously wounded.
 The same home was visited by a murderous burglar just about four weeks ago and one of the occupants there of Mir. J. O. Kennard, was at that time shot and seriously wounded by the burglar. MT. and Mrs. J. O.. Kennard occupy rooms at MT. Dunlap. Mir. Kennard has been in the hospital at Little Rock having the wound inflicted by the burglar. treated. He had just returned from the hospital.
 The Dunlaps were awakened by some one trying to enter the house at the front door and MT. Dunlap secured his pistol and at- tempted to stop the intruder, who in the mean time had gone to the rear door and was trying to get in.
 Mir. Dunlap was joined by MT. Kennard, who. while carrying his broken left arm bandaged closed to his body, also had a pistol for a protection against nocturnal intruders. In less time than it takes to tell it, the night prowler was laying on the steps shot in the arm and thro' the chest and wounded in the head.
 The screaming of the women folk and the shots drew the neighbors and officers and the man was carried to the City Hall and his wounds dressed. He gave his name as Pierce.
 While the wound was a serious one. he has been improving and will soon be up. He states that he was drunk.and thought that he was at his boarding place when he tried to enter the Dunlap home.

 The attraction is a worthy one and is managed by clever gentle men.
 The big free street parade will show several bands of real in- dians all dressed in their war feathers and paints and with them the western ranchers, the crack rifle shots, riders and lariat throwing cowboys; fine brass bands and other attractions.

lie Better at Brinkley Than
 Many Other Places

The scores of Brinkley people who have been nervous because of the threatening of storms and who wish they were 'some where else" may find food for serious reflection in the terrible disasters that are being told of in the daily press each day now. From these accounts it will be seen that while the entire state of Arkansas is being storm swept, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and other states are suffering far worse than Arkansas. More than a thousand lives lost in the Me- braska storm on Sunday night and more than 5000 lives re- ported loss in the horrible catas- trophes in Indiana and Ohio on Monday and Tuesday. Never in the history of America has there been such a horrible condition as is pictured in the sufferings go- ing on in Dayton. Ohio.
 Surely we of Brinkley are not to be wondered at for being ner- vous over the threatenings of the storms since we haveexperienced what we have but even with it all, our fearful disaster was not so appalling as that in the beauti- full Ohio city of Dayton.
 Not many months ago the writer and one hundred and fifty other Arkansas citizens were in Dayton and remember well the various points in the city describ- ed in the accounts of the disaster. It is hard to even imagine such a disaster possible for that city.
 There is no use of trying to find a place where these troubles and disasters are not, for today it is the same all over the wide world.

Easter Sunday passed off pleas ant with the old folks, young folks and little folks. After Sunday school which was well represented, the farmers gather ed under the large oaks and talk ed about what they made last year and what they were going to make this year, while the young folks and little folks gathered up the Easter eggs that had been hid in the grove. All returned home after having a pleasant time.
 Quite a number of our citizens went to Brinkley Saturday. Some returned early others remained until after the fights.

and they are Messrs. Frank
Galloway, Charles Nunnally and Gus
Ryan, the directors of the Atlanta
Baseball Association.
These three men were chosen from
all Atlanta to take charge of the

of course, because they were men OF
good business judgment and real eX-

they were superlatively good fans
These men, therefore. should be in
the best position of all to judge the
contest and to select from the hum

best ones-and of the nine the very

JAMES f. Sullivan, who is the
biggest" man in the Amateur
y Athletic Union, is making great
progress in San Francisco for the
Worlds Fair athletic meet. Accord
ing to the latest reports from that
city. Sullivan is planning to use the
games as the official tryouts for the
Berlin olympic meet.
While Mr.. Sullivan no doubt is
well aware of the difficulties in choos-
ing an all-American team to meet
the rest of the world in athletic COM

the games that will be held in con-
nection with the San Francisco Ex-

be done I'm 1915.

1t is my hope that the pick and flow

ticipate and too look on. The union
is back Of this meet, and If we can
get the cooperation we want it will
be the biggest series of athletic
events in the history of outdoor
sports
Conditions Are Favorable.
One thing that appeals to me is
that the tryouts for the Berlin 1916
championships will all be available
for us, and this alone will bring hun

field contests can be run off here
better Than anywhere, from early
spring until late winter"

This is the story Of Davy Robert

He was a collegian down in the
Carolinas a couple Of years ago when
he signed as a pitcher with the Eliz-
abeth team Of the outlaw Tidewater
League. which has long since passed

by firecracker leagues. His record
with the bandits was such as to at
tract the attention of big league
scouts, and there were half a dozen
on his trail when McGraw's agent
slipped in with "a contract so alluring
that Davy could not resist.
He was then under age. and his
father is said TO have signed the con-
tract with him. II was agreed that

Robertson very cheerfully subscribed

with the bad shoulder. but to go
along slowly until the spreness wore
away. Il was not believed that the
injury would prove serious. but as
time went on and Robertson stin
complained MCGraw became some

Davy is a physical wonder. with
the ideal build for a pitcher. He
handled himself like a natural born

and could hit the ball. so McGraw
