CAN'T GET RETURNS
 ON BEAN SHIPMENTS

(. |. Coleman, who came to Spring dale from Corpus Christie, Tex, and engaged in the commission business closed his house Saturday night an' returned to his home. In giving his reasons for not continuing Mr Cole man stated that it was no fault ot his, nor, a fault of the fruit growers in this section, as his business grew by leaps and bounds while here. but the European war scare had placed the Teaxas and northern markets in such an unsettled condition that he could not get proper returns from his shipments Two other comml sion men who were here buying snap beans, early apples, and other small fruits also closed Saturday, giving the same reasons as Mir. Coleman, stating an inability to get returns on their shipments made their closing necessary.

NEAR FATAL
 INJURY IN
 RUNAWAY
Mrs. J. A. Eicher and Mrs. M. Bowden were seriously injured in runaway late Saturday afternoon, and for short time it was feared Mrs. Richer could not recover.

Saturday afternoon about five o'clock Mrs. J. A. Eicher and Mrs. M. Bowden, both residing a short dis tance north of town, were driving to town, and when near the Springdale Roller Mills, the horse became fright ened at a small sack lying near the road, and began running. After q very short distance the buggy was overturned, and Mrs. Richer and Mrs. Bowden were dragged over the rocks and rough places some fifteen or twenty feet. The horse breaking loose from the buggy probably saved their lives
 Mrs Richer, who was the most seriously hurt Of the two was car ried to the residence of Clyde Martin near which the accident occurred, and physicians immediately summon ed Mrs Bowden, while not serious ly hurt, was terribly bruised, and one hand badly lacerated
 The shock was almost fatal to Mrs. Richer, but by Sunday morning she had rallied somewhat, and was talk en to her home and at last reports is resting nicely.
 An examination by physicians showed that Mrs. Eieher, while not SC badly scratched and bruised as Mrs. Bowden, was hurt internally. It is supposed that the buggy in falling struck Mrs. Richer in the back, as the most severe pain seems to be through the left breast.
 The horse which caused the dam age is small gray. and has been driven by Mrs Eicher to and from town, for some time and while the animal has appeared more or less fractious, was not considered dan gerous.

WHY THE CITY
 COUNCIL ELEC.
 TED A MARSHAL

Some criticism has been thrown at the City Council, on account of their action,in electing a marshal and in not submitting it to a vote of the people The following letter 10 Ma yor Lane, who wrote to Attorney General Moose, in reference to the ease gives an explanation of the aez tion Of the council, and their req sons for eleeting tbe marshal:
 Mr L T. Lane. Mayor.
 Sprinsdale. Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 In your letter Of the 9th. inst. you state that the city marshal has re signed, after serving two months. and you are in some doubt as to how to fill the vacancy, whether by ap- pointment by the city council. or whether by election of the voters.
 The statute does not state in plain language how such vacancy shall be filled, but the Supreme Court, i'll the case of Payne V Rittman. 66 Ark, 201, says that the authority to fill vacancies belongs to municipal1- ties generally. 1 take it that this language of the Supreme Court means that the city council, by a majority vote thereof, may appoint marshal in case of vacancy.
 In case of a vacancy in the of- flee of alderman in the city, however, the proper procedure is by special election 1 refer you to Sec. o433, Kirby s Digest, from which l quote the following language:
 Special elections of the members of the city council of all cities and Incorporated towns shall be held at such time and place as the mayor by proclamation shall direct, so that at least ten days notice thereof shall be given.'
 This is also the substance of the desicion of the Supreme Court in the case of Hoginshi v. Bullock, 92 Ark, 69. .'i' '''di r+tfs
 trust this information will be sat- isfactory. )ti7 '..''
 Yours very truly,
 Wm. l.. Moose.

CHAPTER v.

During this ride il occurred to Van
Vechten that he had seen nothing of
Tom Phinney since he had sent him
away brusquely the day before He
wondered not a little at his friends
prolonged absence. hoped that Tom
was not huffy, and finally concluded
that he had tired OF waiting upon an
uncertainty and had gone off upon
some jaunt of his own.
The Man of Iron hardened attentive
ly to what Rudolph had to say, but if
the narration prompted any misgivings
he showed them not at all He consid-
cred moment, after the younger man
had finished, then said
One woman might drop from sight
In number OF ways, but it is too i'm
probable to believe that both Paige
and Josephine could have been made
away with without a ripple reaching
the shore. Both merit a stern rebuke,
although | apprehend that nothing seri-
Gus has happened"
And Theodore Van Vechten dis
missed the subject, nor would he dis
cuss it any further during RudoIph's
stay.
A furious thunderstorm was raging
when the latter was ready TO depart,
so he perforce dined with his uncle,
and instead of returning to the Pow
hatan. went directly to the Kenmore,
where he surprised Barnicle with an
explicit injunction not to be permit
ted to sleep a minute later than seven
o'clock.
Seven, did YOU say, sir?" asked
Barnicle, too thunderstruck to believe
his own ears
The young man regarded his aged
valet trifle sardonically.
