W. D. FITEASH HAS ENCOUNTER
AT FIFTH AND MISSOURI WITH

B0tt Men Finally Get Away

Night Chief of Police w. ID. Five
ash Monde! night had quite a close
call, eithe. for his own life of from
having tc kill others, at Fifth ave-
nue. and Missouri street, when he aad
a Little Rock man who was accom-
panying him, tied into two gunner
about whom there had been reports.
Chief Fir lash knocked down one or
the men as he was about to draw
his revolver, and the Little Rock
man with him by nervy bluff at
gun play, kept the side partner of
the man knocked down from attemp-
ting to shoot for a time. The men
finally managed to make a getaway,
and although the city was secured
for them Monday night, no trace was
to be founu. 1t is believed that they
left Pine Buff
From what Chief Fiveash could
all armed and whether desperate men
in the usual sense of the word, they
were at least unwilling to be arrest
ed. 1t appears that two of the men
with whom the officer had the en-
counter we're looking for the other
man, whom they said was in a re-
sort, and they had threatened to
shoot UP the resorts if he was not
produced 1t was through these
threats that Chief Fivecash started
on the hunt for them. He came up
on them al Fifth and Missouri and
it was but few seconds before he
and one OF the men came together.
Chief Fiveash struck the man and
downed Linn, but on doing so was
pulled himself off his feet. His prin-
cipal effort then was to prevent the
man from securing his revolver. In
the meantime the Little Rock man
who had accompanied the chief, al
though without a revolver, made a
bluff that he had one and by means
Of that Kept the man from shooting
Chief Fiyeash who had MS back to
them. Tie desperate who was on
his feet finally decided that he would
take Glance on shooting Chief
Fiveash when the officer CHANGED to
turn around. At this juncture, the
man when. had been knocked down
jerked himself free and both men
ran away from the scene. 1t would
have been possible for Chief Fiveash
to have snot one or both Of the men
as they ran, but not knowing wheth-
err or not they were really bad men,
he did not wish to inflict injury.

The railroad pamphlets are written in
a more interesting style than our text
books on geography and they make more
of an appeal to the pupils. School
Biographies are all right for adults, who
are studying them with a definite inten-
