Take BlOodhounds To Alicia.

Deputy Sheriff J. l. Tasting went to Alicia this morning, talk ing the blood hounds of Sheriff J. F. McCuistion to that place to locate, if possible, parties who set fire to the Mosely Brothers barn, which was burned Monday night. Owing to the fact that fire had not been anywhere near the barn, and that it started in two places in the corncrib, near the ground; also in the hay, 1T the loft, which was several feet apart, makes the owners suspect that it was set on fire.
 A large amount of feed and implements was destroyed, but it could not be learned whether any insurance was carried by the owners.

Drowned Dynamiting Fish.

| DIVWMcu ny AidftfltiItS ISu.
 From J. H. Howell and J. L. jCureton of Cash, who were in
 Jonesboro Monday, we learn that Harry Glory, about twenty years
 of age, was drowned while dyna-
 hitting fish at the Carlo fishing
 hole on Cache river Saturday morning.
 l The drowned man and Sam Bell were in a boat together and for awhile it was thought that
 both had been drowned. The boat was found empty, a search was made and about three hours later the body of Glory was found and taken from the water. Thinking Bell had also been drowned, they continued to drag the river all day for his body, but late in the afternoon Bell came up. He was asked where Glory was and replied, "I do not know, but expect he was drown ed" s s 4e.. ,~-..~-.~ f. The dynamite was found in the boat, and it is thought by some that he was killed, perhaps, by dynamite, while others think he fell out, as both were known to be drinking.
 E Messrs. Howell and Cureton were here today to get Fred Null link, deputy prosecuting attor- ney, to go down and prosecute Bell for dynamiting fish. Bell admitted before the coroner's jury that they were dynamiting fish.
 Glory was unmarried and has been practically raised in the county. a~~
 Two other parties were with Bell and Glory, but had left them before the accident hap pened.
 At an inquest a verdict of ac- cidental drowning was returned as there was no evidence to show that Glory was killed by dyna- mite.-Jonesboro Tribune.

FIFTEEN FREE
 SCHOLARSHIPS
County Judge Has Appointment of 15 Beneficiary Students
 To University.

To the boys and girls of Jackson
 county:
 1 I am authorized by the laws of Arkansas to appoint from Jack son county fifteen beneficiary students in the University of Fayetteville. These appoint ments hold good for four years and entitle the holders to ex- emption from the tuition fee of $10 per year. Benefciaries are also entitled to rooms in the dormitories as against those who do not hold appointments.
 To enter the University as a regular student, one must have completed high school course, but there are number of prac- tical courses in Agriculture and .e various branches of engin- eering which may be taken by those who are not high school graduates. In these courses are taught the practical side of farming, surveying, manage ment of electric light and tele- phone plants, automobile work, shop work, etc.
 The two year normal course Iconfers the right to teach any, where in the state without ex- animation.
 In the normal department there is maintained a Teachers Training High School. Students living in the small towns and country districts may, after completing their home schools, enter this high school and thus prepare themselves for the reg ular University courses. The University has a faculty and equipment second to none in the entire southwest, and the expense of attending is lower than in almost any school in i the United States, which offers equal advantages, since the ex- ipense of conducting the Univer- sity is paid almost altogether by the state and national govern ments.
