TUESDAYS CITY ELECTION WAS ALMOST 4 FAILURE
 Il VOTES TOTAL CAST

The election Tuesday Q elect an alderman for Wards l and of the City of Springdale came very near being genuine "fizzle." Most all the voters are too busy with the ap- pie crop to stop long enough to vote. L. NJ Riggs was the Democratic can didate in Ward 1, and only eleven votes were cast. A ]. Turpen was the Democratic candidate in Ward l, and not vote was east. It seemed to be hard proposition to get iudg- es and clerks to serve in this city election L. NJ. Riggs will be declar- ed the councilman from Ward f, but it will now be necessary to call an- other election in Ward l, The result Tuesday, wherein not a vote was cast does not constitute an election.

FIRST FOOT BALL GAME
 OF THE SEASON WILL
 BE PLAYED SATURDAY

The first foot ball game of the sea son will be played on the local high school gridiron Saturday afternon at 3:30, when the local high meets the team from Fayetteville High. Coach Wixon feels confident that the locals will win easily, but the game will give a chance to make some changes in tie team, aud whip them into shape for the bigger games coming later. Fayetteville is reported 10 have q much heavier team this year than formerly. and while the local high will depend almost entirely on speed to win. the Fayetteville team depends largely on line bucks The game will give a line on the raw ma terial in he local team. Several new men are used in the line this year that have not been used before. The back field CT the local team is especially strong, all the men being season players Russom. will prob ably be used at quarter. in ease he recoYers from all accident Monday afternoon, in which he was severely shaken up while making a tackle; Thompson, Henson and Stobaugh will probably s-art in the first game, and Sanders and Gillett on the ends. The work of the locals will be watch ed with interest, as the Fort Smith game will probably be the best here this season. Prof. WiXon announces the following games as arranged
 Fayetteville, October 3rd; Ft. Smith High, Saturday, October 17th; Ben tonville High, at Bentonville, Friday, October 30th; Bentonville High at Sripngdale, Thanksgiving. Arrange ments will probably be made for the team to go to Monett, Mo, October 23rd, for game with Monett High.
