 The light committee asked for the installation of three more street lights, one at the corner Of the w. NJ. Martin property, on the east side, one on Johnson street near the resi- dence of J. H.

 The enforcement of the health ordi- nance was again called for, and the practice of the Stone barn in using the alley in the rear of the building for the dumping of manure was call ed to the attention of the council, by Alderman Ruple, who presented resolution asking that the prac- tice be stopped The condition of the city dumping grounds and the slaughter pen was discussed, and or ders are out to have these two plac- es put in proper condition.

DRILL DOWN 1SO FEET
Yours truly, Mrs. Benj. B. DuVall.

Springdale people will be pleased to know that the local drilling company organized here recently to drill in the Mount Comfort neighborhood have found every indication that they will strike oil or gas, and probably both. The drill was down 1s0 feet Wednes- day morning, and at pth of 5 feet the drill struck lime stone rock, and since that time the drilling has been through solid lime stone, which is known in oil terms as the cap rock. Present indications show that the drill will soor reach the shale and it is expected that it will be necessary to drill from 50 to 70 feet through this shale, and then the oil and gas sand will be struck. + might b. interesting to know that the drill is going through identically the same formation as it did on the farms of Thomas and Weir, where they are now using gas, and that there is already a showing of oil on the water in the we'll. It will prob ably be six days before the drill progresses through the lime stone and shale to the oil and gas sand.

CORRECTS WRONG REPORT

The following letter from Mrs. Benj. B. DuVall, better known among Springdale people as Elsie Daily. gives a different report on the death of w. H. Daily, than the article pub lished in The News recently, and clipped from the Everett Tribune. The letter is published with the ex- pectation of correcting the exagger- ated report recently published. The letter follows.
 Editor The News: I do not know took the liberty Of sending you the Everett Morning Tribune. of January 7th, but am very sorry it reached vol, as the report was greatly ex- aggerated in regard to the death of my father, W H. Daily While it was terrible in all it's details, he was perfectly recognizable, to all who knew him, which of course he would not be to those who didn' L. Hence my letter of explanation. The Knights of Pythias took charge of the funeral. which was held January 10th He was also a member in good stand ing of A. o. U. w No. 90, of Spring dale
 Yours truly,

FORGED WELLS FARGO
 EXPRESS MONEY ORDER

While in Joplin, Mo. recently, where they had been purchasing a boiler, Harry Todd, Of this place, noticed an express money order ly- ing on the desk of a business firm, which was supposed to have come from Springdale. His curiosity was naturally aroused, and asked that he be allowed to look at the order. He found that the order was for Sl0 made out on the regular Wells Far go Express money order blank, and was made to R. H. Davis. remitted by Fred Taylor. and signed by R. A. Stone, Wells Fargo agent at Spring dale, Ark MT. Todd was well enough informed to know that the Wells Far ed Stone, and so informed the busi- ness firm. They took the matter up with the authorities, and on re- turning home MT. Todd related his experience to A. NJ. Leitzell, local Wells Fargo agent, and he in turn wired authorities. The secret ser vice officers captured their man at Wichita, Kansas, and he gave his name as Busby, and on his person when captured were found a number Of blank Wells Fargo money orders.

ORDERS INVESTIGATION

Fayetteville, Jan 30-County Judge J. T. flight today announced that he had instructed Special Attorney H. L. Pearson to confer with former sheriffs of Washington county rela- tive to settlement for amounts al leged to be due the county which were unearthed about one month ago by the Fayetteville Daily Democrat.
 This newspaper charged hat sher- ifs for at least the last ten years have taken credit for a considerable amount of taxes on real property which was enormously returned de linquent. It was charged that tax receipts on a large amount of this so-called delinquent real property were later shown preventing the state, but that a second settlement with the county was not made.
 The unsatisfied charges of former Sheriff Rollins, who was the first Of whom a record was kept, is less taan that of any other sheriff, be- ing only S2175. Other shortages range from $33S.47 the amount charg- ed against Sheriff Reed, a Republican to more than $1 200 charged against former Sheriff Caudle, who retired last October.
 The figures which have been ob- tained do not include enormously re- corded delinquent personal property which would in all probability, attach to the real property affected Ac- cording to Judge Flight the investiga- tion will cover all business transact cd by the sheriff's office. It is his desire and MT. Pearsons belief that the matter may be adjusted without litigation. Mr Pearson says former sheriffs Rollins and Phillips have agreed to abide the result of the in vestigation, but that he had not yet been able to take the matter up with the other eX-sheriffs.
 Mir. Caudle admitted that the mon- ey collected on this item properly be- longed to the state, but he declared that every other sheriff preceding him had kept it and that he did not intend to be made the goat.
 He said that What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.' He then declared, however, that he would settle in the item if his pre- decessors would first do so, but in- timated that he thought such a possf- bility far fetched.

IN A DEPLORABLE
 CONDITION
MT. and Mrs. J. c. Caee Suffering
 Badly From Need of Attention.

If there ever was a case, where charity should be exercised to the full meaning of the word, it is in Springdale at the present time. There Is no need to go to Belgium to hunt for cases that need the attention of crusade to help the suffering; first relieve the people and citizens within our own borders, and then look for more.
 Mr. and Mrs. J. c. Cagle, old and feeble, known to almost every man, woman and child in Springdale, are in an almost starving condition, and to add to this, they are almost help less. For number Of years Mr Cagle has been blind, and recently he became partially paralyzed. He Is now unable to help himself, and must be cared for like two-months old baby. Mrs. Cagle is in very poor condition also, unable to get around, and can do no cooking, no housework, and can only help MT Cag1e in a very meager way. MT. are in destitute circumstances, and the matter was brought before the City Council Tuesday night, at their regular meeting, in very forcible manner by Alderman J $. Ewalt, and the city will take charge. Money is not what they need, neither do they need groceries, food nor clothing. They need help of different kind. Someone must be secured who will care for these two good, old people during their last days on this earth.
 Mr Cagle has always worked while able. and not So many years ago, it was familiar sight to see Mr. Cagle, blind as he was, carrying buck and saw on his shoulder, as he trayeled from ore home to another, saving wood for a living. True he receives a small pension from the Government, having served during the Civil War, true he has small amount of money now on deposit in one of the local banks, true Mrs. Cagle owns the small house, which has been their home for number 0 years, true they have children and other relatives scattered in different parts of the United States: one son makes a small allowance each month; but financial aid is not what they need, and must have; it is attention and care. Someone who will look after their wants as they would babe; this is the only solution of means for their happiness, during their last days, few though they be.
 It is probable that the City Coun. cil will take some action toward finding a place for the couple in the County Poor Farm. Mr. Gagle can be sent to the Old Soldiers Home, but Mrs. Cagle cannot, and they do not want to be separated.

Dyer Plays Uphill Game
and Wins Golf HOnOrS
Shows at His Best in After
noon Period of Match
with Byers in Tour
ney at Shawnee.
rB, relcfrsph % The Tribune ]

Shawnee on Delaware, Penn, July IT,.
After being down at the end Of the
morning round, Frank w. Dyer, of
Montclair, played like professional
snd defeated Eben NJ Byers, of Ale
gheny, by a and l margin in the
thirty-six hole final round of the
I pennsylvania Golf Association on the
links of the Shawnee Country Club
here to-day.
Just to show that he did not display
his true form in the morning round,
Dyer started right after his opponent
in the afternoon. They halved the
first hole, but by topping his drive
into the brook Byers lost the second.
Then followed a succession of disasters
for Byers. With a on the third,
wonderful 8 on the fourth, on the
fifth. on the sixth and a 4 on the
seventh, Dyer changed the whole aspect
OF the match and was 4 up with only
seven of the eighteen holes played.
The short eighth proved a bad one
for Dyer, and he took 4 to Byers's 3,
hut fine 70 a on the ninth put
Dyer in the invincible position of being
up III the turn. When Byers took the
tenth and eleventh with 4 and a 3 20
a and a 6, it looked rs if Dyer was
not going 10 have it all his own way,
after all.
However. on the twelfth both drove
in a terrific downpour of rain, and
Byers lost his ball, much 10 his dis
gust. This put Dyer three up again on
the thirteenth. He topped his drive
ard Byers followed suit, and with their
third shots they were in the bunker.
Both got out beautifully, but Bycrs
ran down his putt for five and Dyer
missed. Byers played the fourteenth
poorly and took a six 10 a FIVE, but on
the fifteenth he received q par four 10
a five. Both got threes on the six
teenth, and with a par five to six on
the seventeenth Dyer won the cham
Dionship, three up and one 10 play.
In the morning Dyer played poorly
on the first nine holes, and this large
" accounted for the lead Obtained by
the Pittsburg man. He was out in
~ 10 Byers's 40, but coming in he took
SOTO 80.
