Larsen and Johansen were all
about the poor fellow. They
struck him with their fists, kicked
him with their heavy shoes,

him to his feet to knock him
down again. His eyes were
blinded so that he could not see.

cabin into a shambles. And when
he could no longer rise they still
continued to beat and kick him

You can enjoy the great "out of

smooth ice which covers the tennis
court at the Hot Springs hotel.
Manager D. G. Holland has had
the place flooded and a number
of guests have procured ice skates
and have been enjoying the ex-

It's hard to beat skating for
healthful outdoor exercise as all
the muscles are brought into ac,

Holland spent some time in the
