UNKNOWN MANS
 NAME IS MORGAN
HOME Al FORT SMITH
LITTLE DEFINITE, HOWEVER IS KNOWN OF MYSTERI-
 OUS STRANGER HERE.

The unknown man who arrived st Conway late Wednesday and was un- able to remember his name or his home said at Damascus that his name was Morgan and that he lived at Fort Smith, according to J. T. Wal den, who conducts a hotel at Damas- GUS. MT. Walden arrived at Conway late yesterday and in company with several local citizens who have be come interested in the mysterious stranger went to see him.
 According to MT. Walden, the mar appeared to be perfectly rational when he stayed at his hotel 'Wednes day night, although he told a rather unbelievable story about owning 2 $1o,000 home and valuable business property in Fort Smith and a 1G0- acre river farm near that city, at the same time saying he was a workman in car repairing shop. When Mr Morgan reached Conway he said he could not recall anything of his past life since leaving Damascus.
 Efforts are being made to commit nicate with Fort Smith authorities tc learn the identity of the man. Dr. J 5. Westerfield, worshipful master of the local Masonic lodge. who has been attending tho man, said today that his mental condition is apparently be- coming more depressed and he seems much more reluctant to talk thar when he first arrived here. It is Dr Westerfeld's opinion that the mans mind is deranged and unless his fam fly or relatives can be located within q few days, he will probably recon mend that the man be taken to the state hospital for nervous diseases for treatment.

FEARS SOUL FATE,
 NOT LAWS PENALTY
SAM BELL LISTENS EAGERLY TO WORDS OF CONSOLA
 TON FROM CHAPLAIN.
(Arkansas Gazette, April 3O.)

(Arkansas Gazette, April 30.)
 Unconcernod about paying the pen atty prescribed by law for murder but fearful of his fate after death Sam Bell, 28, of Conway county, who Monday night killed four members of his former wife's family, listened eagerly to words of consolation from the Rev. Lee Tomme, chaplain of the penltentiary, yesterday. The Rev MT. Tomme visited Bell in his cell at the county jail and after his talk along spiritual lines and a previous 9tlk with his brother, Hugh Bell of Plumervillo, the prisoner seemed much brighter than at any time since This confinement.
 Bell still continues silent when ap- preached by the jailers or his fellow prisoners and when friends who for merly lived in Conway county visited him he expressed pleasure at seeing them, but assiduously sidetracked ev- cry attempt to talk about his case.
 Bells brother remained with hin for about a n hour yesterday morn ing, but the conversation was carried on in a low tone and with such an evi- dent effort at secrecy that nothing is known about it's nature Hugh Bel returned to his home early yesterday afternoon.
 When the Rev. Mr Tomme visited Bell yesterday afternoon, the prison CT seemed very Respondent and ex- pressed the opinion that his doom, from spiritual standpoint, was seal ed. He quoted the Bible, saying there is no hope for murderer after death. The idea of paying the death penalty does not seem to affect him.
 The Rev. Mir. Tomme told him that although murderer he might be say ed by repentance. After he had read from the Bible and talked to Bell for some time the prisoner became more cheerful.

ELECTION TICKETS
 OF 1886 FOUND

Workmen overhauling the building of Judge sam Frauenthal at POP North Front street today discovered in crevice in one of the walls a package of election tickets used in this county in the general state elec- tion of 1886. The ballot was one of the kind in use prior to the adoption of the Australian system and contains the names only of the Democratic nominees, voters being privileged to take the ballot of any party they de- sired to the polls with them.
 Simon P. Hughes was the nominee for governor and Col. G. w. Bruce. who still lives in Conway, was the nominee for senator of the Twenty seventh district. The county ticket was composed of the following: ]. F. Campbell, representative; J. V. Mitchell, clerk; E. M. Merriman, judge; L. B. Dawson, sheriff; c. T. Clifton, treasurer; Bruce Shaw, tax assessor; Bailey G. Wilson, coroner; A. B. Dickerson, surveyor. Judge Merriman and MT. Wilson are still eitizens of Conway. MT. Dickerson
 is living in Texas and the other coun- ty nominees of 1886 are dead.
 An interesting feature of the old ballot is that only the words "For License appear on it, and it is so spaced that it would have been diff cult if not impossible to erase these words and write Against License on the ticket. In those days saloons did flourishing business in Faulkner county and those favoring the sale of liquor not only controlled the gen eral elections but largely dominated the party.

LOCAL SCHOOLS
 10 ATTEND MEET HENDRIX 10 SEND TEAM NORMAL AND HIGH SCHOOL HAVE ENTRIES IN LITER
 AIRY CONTESTS.

Fifteen track and field athletes will represent Hendrix College at the an nual meet of the Arkansas Athletic Association in Little Rock tomorrow. The team is said to be the best that has ever represented the local insti- tuition in similar event, and Hen drix supporters are anticipating a victory for the Bulldogs.
 Coach Ieadricks men will be op- posed by athletes from Arkansas Cumberland College of Siloam Springs, and number of former Ar kansas University and college stars, under the management of Dan Estes, athletic director of the Monticello Az ricultural School and a former Uni gersit ystar. This probably will be the strongest opposition the Bulldogs ever have gone up against, but the concensus of opinion here is that they
 will be equal to the occasion.
 Hendrix will be the only local school represented in the track and field events.
 In the literary events Hendrix, the Normal and the high school will have representatives. Central College will rot have any entries, although it's representatives last year carried off first and second honors.
 A large crowd of students and town people of Conway is expected to at tend the contests. Although there will be no special train from Conway, the two regular morning trains, No l05, which leaves here at 5:43, and No. 131, which leaves here at 8:43 o'clock, will carry extra coaches. The fare for the round trip will be SPA.

Most American followers of boxing
have always had an idea that Georges
Carpenter, heavyweight champion of
Europe and greatest idol in the history
of French sports, has every qualifica-
tion of q boxing champion with the
exception Of gameness. This was par
ticularly impressed on their minds
worlds middleweight champion, in
seventeen rounds in Paris a few years
ago. However. this idea has been
proved false since the greatest Euro
pean war started. Carpenters rec,
ord in the big struggle has shown
him to be man Of unusual courage.
During the early months OF the war
Carpenter was used as a messenger.
1t was his duty to carry messages on
a motorcycle from one general to am
other. Often he was obliged to come
mighty close to the enemy's guns-in
fact near enough to forfeit his life If
he came in the path of stray bullets
as he was frequently within range.
What do you think he is doing
now? And it Is the supreme test Of
courage. He is plotting one of those
airships that have to 70 up many
thousands Of feet in the air and get
a line on where the Germans and
Austrians are situated. AT any time
he Is in danger of having his ma
chine struck by shot-and then it is
a case of farewell. proud earth"
The work OF being chauffeur in
the sky" Is the most hazardous Of
all duties that a soldier can perform
Even in times of peace an air pilot
is always ip danger of death, but in
war times the dangers of losing his
life are multiplied.
II Carpenters life is spared. and
the warning nations lay down their
arms, he will probably become one Of
the most prominent figure in Europe
and 1t would be no surprise IL the
French government conferred some
high official honors upon him-may-
be some big job in the employ Of the
nation.
Carpenter is one of the most pic
turesque figures in the history of
sport. He took up boxing when it
was inaugurated in France. and won
championship after championship un-
til he captured the heavyweight cham.
pionship of Europe from Bombardier
Wells. He has the honor Of holding
every ring title from fyWeight to the
topweight class.
He won on foul from Gunboat
Smith in London early last summer
and earned a fortune for this victory.
The result caused all kinds of dis
cussion. it being a question in the
minds Of the American public wheth-
er Smith quit or whether Georges
was really hit low.
1t would not be surprising to hear
that when his country no longer
needs him, Carpenter will come to
this country and challenge for
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship OF the world.
