TIMBER THIEVES On TRIAL.

81 H. F.. Arnold Is at Wynne, Arkan-
sas, attending to court matters there
this week. The criminal case grow.
ing out OF the alleged timber steal 'all
from lands which Mr.. Arnold owns,
is the case which made it necessary
for Mr. Arnold to attend to court
matters there. It will be rem embear. e.
ed that some time ago q number oi
timber men entered Mr.. Arnold land
anG before he knew what was going
on on his land several car loacs OF
choice timber had been cut and snip
ped away. After q time the guilty
parties were apprehended and arrest
cd, and the trial is now in progress.
It is a safe guess that BY the time
Mr.. Arnold gets through with the
guilty parties the timber will be g g
mighty dear investment.

ATTEMPT 70 BREAK AND ENTER.

Burglars made an unsuccessful at
tempt to enter the dry goods store
Of "A. H. Blake & Son on Monday ev-
ening. On Tuesday morning the pro.
:prietors discovered that the mid-nlght
visitors had broken the. glass in one
.of the rear. doors, and succeeded IN
unlocking and unbolting the door.
After going to all OF this trouble the
burglars were still unable to enter
because Of the bolts at each end OF
the door. In order to unfasten these
bolts it is supposed that they made
an attempt at unfastening them with
the aid of a wire hook fastened to
a mop handle. This plan evidently
failed, as the handle and wire were
found inside of tho store Tuesday
morning. No clew has been found as
to who the guilty party or parties
might be. 1t would seem however
from the manner in which the bur
glars attempted to effect an entrance
that they were far from ''profess1on-
ais at the trade. .$

OF intentions of becoming citizens as
rapidly as the influx did 10 years ago.
and that applications for final papers
are also not as numerous in proper.

of the aliens who are coming in, there
being decrease of those from Eng.
