BOTH WINGS
 MAKE PROGRESS

 The Mouse.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
 Paris, Oct. 20.-General inn provement along both wings is officially reported. The Ger mans in the North are holding Lille but their progress at Dun- kirk has been checked. Dunkirk is considered safe in view of the endorsements sent to forts along the Yser River line.
 It is officially announced that the allies maintain a material progress at various points along the battle line. The Belgians are holding against the Germans, on a line of Nieuport and sDix- nude and along the Yser River.
 The Germans remain strongly entrenched in the vicinity of Lille and there is little change there.
 The French have advanced from the right bank of the Mouse near Camp DeRomans. The entire situation is regarded "eminently satisfactory"
 The French are driving the Germans through the Vosges and repelling the German at- tempts to cross the Mouse. There are no developments in the center, but it is expected there will soon be a strong offen- 'sive against the Germans hold ing the Mouse river.

Dr. Hughes
 Under Arrest
Charged With Murder Of Ali Bagley, A Victim Of Assas
 sin In Long Feud.

Walnut Ridge, Oct, 19.-Dr. J. c. Hughes was arrested today on indictment charging first de- gree murder in connection with the death of Ali Bagley, and his father, I. J. Bagley, both of ;, whom were shot and killed on the street in Walnut Ridge, Oc- tober 22, 1910.
 The indictments returned to- day are said to be the result of investigations made recently by five Pinkerton detectives en- ployed to investigate the mW- der of J. s. Crook, a well-known real estate man, who was killed in September. The detectives worked on the theory that a ma- jority of the many mysterious murders committed in this coun- ty in the past five years were the results of a feud.
 Other arrests are expected to- morrow.
 It is said feud was started seven years ago during the trial of Ali Bagley, charged with kill ing an officer. Dr. Hughes tes- tifed at that trial that the off, cer had been shot in the back. Bagley had pleaded self-defense. FATHER AND SON KILLED.
 Bagley was acquitted. Three C years later-October 22, 1910- he was shot from ambush while riding through the streets in Walnut Ridge. That same, af- ternoon l. J. Bagley, while on his way home, after buying s clothes in which to bury his murdered son, was shot down.
 Dr. Hughes is said to have ad- mitted to a coroner's jury inn paneled to investigate the kill ing of Ali Bagley that he was reSOnSible for his death. The lcoroner's jury eXonerated the @physician and until recently the grand jury took no action.
 No arrest was ever made for the killing of the elder Bagley.
 In 1911 John Bagley, a broth CT of Ali Bagiey. was shot from a second story office window on Walnut Ridge business street The murder was never explain ed.
 Crook, who was killed last menth, is a son-in-law of the el- der Bagley. He was shot through the leg more than a year ago, but recovered. Dr. Hughes was arrested and fined $2OO for that shooting.

over $50. 900.
The fire was a total loss. No one

fire fighters narrowly escaped death
from falling timbers. A great crowd
witnessed the fire. which was very
spectacular.
Eight thousand bushels Of grain and
two carloads of -four were wiped out
by the flames.
The local fire department., assisted
by many willing citizens, fought the
fire all night, but to no avail.
A terrific wind was blowing, accom-
panied by the most remarkable cleo
trical disturbance ever known in these
parts, and the flames were famed into
a fury.
The elements and the great start of
the fire made it practically impossible
for the fire fighters to get the blaze
under control. Most Of their efforts
were spent in trying to prevent the
spread of the flames.
For hours they COmbatted the flames

pleased by reports that fewer Ameri-

da.
Two years ago 91,971 Americans
went to Canada. while the number re-
turning from that country to the
United States was only 1887.
For the eleven months ending May
81, 1914, it is said at the department,
$3.50 citizens of this country went
into the dominion, while 44,127 Amer
leans returned to the United States.
A gratifying feature Of the return
movement to Secretary Wilson is that
large numbers of those coming back
are seeking information from the de-
partment as to the location of land on
which they may settle.

nave been that possibility, but under
the circumstances Ryder people have

would have the railroad in time to take

we'll to discount calamity rumors till
the time approaches when the road
can lay steel, for approaching that
times there will be plenty of evidence
in the way of preparedness to show
whether or not it is planning to do so.
