Petty Thieves
Again at Work

Althoughsin the main. this city
WIS extremely fortu nate 10 the mat
ter of not losing many articles as the
result Of the work of thieves during
large gathering. such as the fair at
tracted here last week. yet at least
two instances OF robberIes have teen
recorded at this office.
The police officials of the city, to-
gether with the deputies of the sher-
IFS department at Occur d'Aleue,
were on the alert all the week and In
many cases have probably stopped
contemplated robberies by the order
ing Of individuals to leave the city.
yet despite their utmost care two cas-
es cf robbery occurred during the
week, one the entering Of the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. P. A. Nelson and
the other that of stealing a number
of articles belonging to the St. Ma
rias Drug %. at their display at the
kair grounds.
\ This city may be congratulated up
on the minimum number of robheriea
connected With the big fair, but yet
the individuals who did lose articles.
while grateful that no more valuables
we're taken than what they have lost,
are making a strong endeavor to have
the guilty parties apprehended if
possible.
Last Wednesday afternoon while
the Nelson family gyere spending the
day visiting the lair, slick thief
entered their b ne by maaus OF
pass key and aftAr rummaging about
the house, left, taking with him a
$40 gold piece and some small change
which WAS in the house at the time.
The thief WAS particular in his quest
for valuables as Indications show
that a number of articles Of iewelry
we're found by him but he decided
they would he too hard to dispose of,
leaving them as he found them,
In his tour Of the Nelson home the
thief found Mas. Nelson's jewelry
Ease containing lady'e gold watch
aud brooch necklace. these articles
being very valuable to Mrs Nelson,
as they mad been in the family for
over 40 years. The ten dollar gold
piece was also with the jeWelry. This
was taken, but the iewelry was left
intact. aud Mrs. Nelson. who gave an
in .erview to a Record representative,
gave the thief considerable credit
and thanks for being so thoughtful
as to leave these thugs, which, on
account of the many associations con-
ueoted with them, could never have
been replaced.
After the robbery the man left by
way Of the side door OF the residence,
relocking the door with his pass key.
The second case reported to the
police was that of the exhibit of the
st. Marles Drug company at the fair
grounds The company had arranged
very attractive display of kodaks
and kodak supplies 10 the merchants
exhibit building at the grounds.
They neglected to remove the articles
Saturday after the close Of the fair
aud Sunday almost the entire exhibit
Of more valuable articles was taken,
the loss including four expensive ko-
daks besides numerous other kodak
supplies.

THE BLUE SKY LAW
UPHELD BY COURT

Little Rock, Aug. 14-State Auditor
L. L. Coffman has received from Of
ficials of Kansas, recent ruling of
the supreme court of that state un-
der the Blue Sky law, which upholds
the most rigid Interpretation of it's
provisions.
This is good news to the officials
who have the enforcement of the law
in Arkansas, for the law here is cop
led from that of Kansas, with some
improvements which were suggested
by the commissioner of the Sunflow-
er state
The Kansas supreme court rules
that if the commission desires to re-
quire 1t, corporation cannot sell a
tract of land without first securing
the consent of the commission. If this
can be done in Kansas it can also be
done in Arkansas, but the officials
will not endeavor to carry it that far.
They are satisfied with the law when
1t keeps wildcat stock companies
from preying on the people of Arkan-
sas, and will confine their efforts in
that direction.

NINE BAD BOYS TO
BE GIVEN FREEDOM

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-THE Board of
Penitentiary Commissioners will be-
gin parOling cOnvicts on the first of
September, and the commissioners eX-
pect to liberate nine boys at the Re-
form, School, some who have all but
completed their terms, and others who
have been in the institution only a
few months
There is one boy in the Reform
School who has served nine months
of year term, whose parents have
recently moved to Missouri. Under
the state law a boy cannot be paroled
for the purpose of leaving the state.
1t is probable this boy will receive a
pardon at the hands of the governor,
in order that he may join his par
ents.
1t has been customary for the peni-
tertiary officials not to parole con-
vict until he has served a third Of
his term. This will not be adhered
to by the new commission, as the law
permits them to liberate boys when
their punishment is deemed suffi-
cient. This will permit the commits
sion to turn loose three boys who
are serving term of five years for
grand larceny, who have. been in the
institution thuts.a few months.
The boys. residing in an inland
town. participated in Christmas
celebration staged by the local mill
tary company. Later they went to the
armory, took out number Of rifles,
paraded the streets, and as grand
finale, marched to the outskirts of
the town and fired the rifles. For
this grave crime, they were indicted
on a charge of grand larceny, the
theft of the guns being alleged. The
court officials are now willing that
the boys should be discharged. though
they were not until after conviction
had been had and fees collected. The
parents of the boys, who stand high in
their communities, desire to place the
mischievous youngsters in school
this fall, and they will be permitted
to do so.

REFORM SCHOOL INMATES

Little Rock. Aug. 14.-The State Re-
form School is now the boarding place
OF 43 boys, ranging from 10 to 20
years of age, which is the largest
numb sr incarcerated there in recent
years.
In former years, when girls were ad-
mitted to the institution, the number
sometimes ran as high as 100. The
placing of delinquents in the school
by county judges also added material
ly to the inmates, but recently num-
Der of the cities have established
courts for delinquents, with place to
care for them, and this has reduced
that expense on the state.
Supt. Deaton will probably ask the
next legislature to fix an age limit
for the boys sent to the Reform
School. and prevent the taking OF
children less than IL years OF age He
