The Prescott daily news. (Prescott, Ark.) 1907-1941, 1914-08-11

Few of our merchants realize that
right now is the proper time to begin
their Fall advertising campaign. Adj
vertising now will bring results when
the crops are harvested. If you have
bought goods for the Fall trade, why
not tell the people about it. Our two
papers reach every home in Prescott
and Nevada county and an ad in both
of them will certainly bring results.
Think this matter over.

The injunction was directed
against the officials of the Order Of
Railway Conductors, the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen.
The court ruled, however. that the
injunction did not prevent unions
from taking a strike vote.
The injunction was granted at the
REQUEST of six union men who claim
ed that the strike order was issued
after some of the men who had voted
in favor of strike had asked that
their votes be changed.
The difficulty between the rail-
road companies and the engineers
arose out of the discharge OF con-
ductor on the grounds Of intoxica-
tion. The leaders insisted that he
was not intoxicated. The railroad
company invoked federal mediation
which was accepted by the unions.
The matter has not yet been ad-
3usted.

S0FT DRINK CLUB
MAY ISUPPLAhT
SALOONS At
CAMPS

The enforcement of the statewide
prohibition law, passed by the people
at the election last week, may cause
to spring up in the coal mining
camps of southern Colorado in place
of the present saloons, what will he
known as soft drinks clubs" or
coca cola joints" The employees
Of the mines are being encouraged to
organize clubs which will give regu-
lar dances, which will have pool
rooms and bowling alleys and where
in winter coffee and sandwiches will
be served and at all times soda water
and soft drinks. This idea will take
the place OF the saloons. declared
President Welborn OF the c. F. & I.
company in Denver Saturday.
Mr.. Welborn believes that the
wedding out OF the saloons will
greatly rebound to the benefit of the
miners and that in time they will not
miss the saloon, but find much more
amusement In the clubs where clean
and healthy recreation will be pro-
vided. He figures 1t will enable the
miners to save more money and that
the change will be welcomed by the
women and children.

"DARE Devil" HETH
TO FLY HERE ON
SATURDAY,

Eugene Heth, wizard of the air,
dare devil birdman, using the --latest
hixh altitude Wright brothers aero
plane, will execute death -defying
aerial stunts at the aviation meet
which has been arranged for Trini-
dad next Saturday and Sunday. j. 5.
Berger, who will stage the flights
here, promises the best exhibition or
its kind that Trinidad has ever seen.
Heth and Berger recently showed
in Denver under the auspices of the
Denver Post. and last week the fly
ers staged a successful meet at Rocky
Ford The machine to be used Will
accommodate an extra passenger and
an open invitation has been extended
to any one thus desiring to take
trip into cloud land. .lHU
The aeropiane flights are not the
only entertainment feature on the
program of the Berger show. In ad-
dition will he motorcycle races by
some of the most noted motorists in
the country. These will be real thrill
lers, calculated to give the people
something that has never been seen
here up to this time. Another feat
ure also is Captain a. II. Hardy, the
champion rifle shot.
AS matter of fact only one man
has successfully operated an aero
plane in this high altitudue. All but
one of the aviation experiments in
this city have been failures, The
failures. however, have not lessened
the public interest in the great mod
ern SPORT of the air and the estab-
lished reputation of Heth and Berger
assures that everything as adver-
tised on the program will be given
here. The flights will be made from
the fair grounds.

Saturday. giving as part payment

wards found to be worthless, J. H.
Curley, former salesman of the In
ternational Harvester Co., resident
of Aguilar, got away with the car
and struck out overland. This morn
ing the wife of the man was arrested
in possession OF the auto at Dodge
City, Kansas. Curley apparently got
away but local authorities believe
that he will be in the tolls before
night.
Little is known of Curley save
that he has been at Aguilar for a
short time. His story apparently
satisfied the person from whom he
negotiated for the car and giving n
check drawn on the Commercial
Savings Bank in the sum OF 1896 he
was allowed to take the car. In due
time the fraud was discovered, the
chack found to be worthless and the
authorities were notified. The Of

out for the car and its occupants.

to Aguilar after completing the deal
and picked VI the woman and then
struck off overland. Somewhere en-
route Curley disappeared as only the
woman and the auto showed up at
Dodge City.
AS soon as the check was found
to be worthless Undersheriff Zeke
Martin left Immediately in their pur-
suit. In communication with the
sheriff's office here last night Mar
tin stated that he was hot on their
trail and that he was then in Lamar
and would leave Immediately for
Dodge City where the sheriff there
was holding the woman and the car.
During the early part of the week
Curley had accepted a position with
local implement house and at once
began making arrangements for the
purchase of car. Friday night the
deal was closed and Saturday morn
ing about 5 o'clock Curley called at
the garage and after making out a
check in payment for the car left in
the Ford roadster for Aguilar. There
he was met by the woman who is
said to be his wife and the two then
left for Kansas, striking off through
La Junta.
Shortly after Curley left the gar

a fraudulent one as he had no funds

tanned until they had reached Dodge

General Carranza. however, makes
no reference to the demand made
upon him that those Mexicans who
have been In the employ Of the
American authorities at Vera Cruz be
given guarantees Of protection. The
decree was issued at Cordoba. where
General CaTranza is in conference
with a committee Of the Aguas Cal
ientes convention.
The preface to the decree refers to
the petition circulated in Vera Cruz
asking the American forces to with
draw from that city and says that
since the residents at Vera Cruz
have manifested willingness to re-
ject the protection demanded for
them by the United States the chief
of the constitutionalists ia disposed
to nave their wishes fulfilled. The
preface Is calculated to show that
the Mexican people acted on their
own responsibility and not because
of pressure from Washington.
While Carranza was issuing the
decree in the character of the chief
executive General Obregon and other
members OF the committee appointed
by the Aguas Calientes convention
to inform Carranza of the election of
Euialio Gutierrez as provisional
president were insisting in public
statements that the convention was
the sovereign power and that Gut
eirrez was tine real head. Carranza
met the committee in conference the
latter persisting in the demand that
the sovereignty of the convention
and that the election of Gutierrez be
proclaimed. General Carranza frank
lily disagreed with this plan and with
sarcasm expressed doubt Of the as
sertion Of the convention that Cen
eral Villa had retired from his COM
'mand
He added that If those who made
up the convention were afraid to tear
Villa from the northern field he
himself would do 1t. General Agnil-
