Collins presented receipts for cash
paid into the treasury, and also
asked a credit of $1,1O0 for fines
laid out in Jail, escaped prisoners,

the city. A motion made to allow
the chief the credits asked resulted
in a tie vote, four aldermen voting
for the motion and four voting
against it. Mayor Turner then de-
clared the vote as tied and then
voted to approve the report as filed
and declare: the motion carried.

regardless of a thorough cleaning of
the premises we still have them,
they surely will not be so numerous
and protection can be had from
them by proper screening of all
outside openings of the house, or if
this cannot be done, each bed can
be protected by mosquito netting at
small cost of about SO cents per
bed, which is as cheap as purchas-
ing one bottle of chill tonic.
A cheap and safe way to protect
against malarial infection, should
you become bitten by the mosquito,
is to take ? grain capsule of quiz

one drug with which to both pre-

The mosquito, as most everyone
knows, is the carrier of malaria and
as this disease is much more prev
alent from September to the mid
die of November or until after a
few killing frosts it is we'll worth
while just at this time to take ev-
cry precaution against the bite of
the mosquito. Malaria at this sea-
son of the year is no trifling dis
ease, being in fact a rather fatal
disease in the lowlands. Already
there have occurred a number of

.KENTUCKIAN MURDERED FOR
GIVING LEGAL INFORMATION

Hickman, Sept. 10.-Judge w. A
Naylor, deputy sheriff, is dead;
Claude Johnson, bootlegger, is
dead, and Willie Collins, a minor, is
also dead, and the whole town is
wild with horror over a triple trag-
edy here last night. Excitement is
SO high that details are hard to
get, but the affair started when
Claude Johnson went to the home
of young Collins and called him to
his door, Collins mother holding
him on one side and his sister on
the other, fearing for him to go
out. With his mother holding to
him, Johnson shot Collins down,
one load from the gun taking effect
in Mrs. Collins arm.

rushed to the scene and attempted
to arrest Johnson, Johnson shoot

Little Rock, Sept. 14.-Efforts
are being made by Memphis hunt
ers to find a plan to circumvent
he new state game law and make
possible shipment Of game from the
state, according to word reaching E..
V. Visart, federal game inspector.
Memphis hunters who have been in
the habit of killing game in this
state have found that several OBJ
stacles now are in the way to
make their practice come within the
pale of the law.
The supreme court last spring de-
clared a special law allowing ship
ments of ducks and geese from GER
tain townships in Mississippi coun-
ty unconstitutional, and also held
that members of hunting clubs in
the Big Lake district in Mississippi
county had no right to hunt in
Arkansas unless land held by the
clubs also was owned by them.

An Honest Mistake.

The United States flag, flying
upside down is a distress signal.
This was brought home forcefully
to the colored janitor at the Iowa
building at the Panama-Pacific ex-
position recently when he ran up
the banner in that way. A group
of visiting marines made a wild
break for the spot, expressing con-
sternation and filling the darkey
with the same.
The weekly soliphone., 1915-09-17

Mayor Turner requested the coun-
Gil to act on the same. A motion
carried that the council adjourn,
and adjournment was made with
out the approval of the new bond.
Unless the council should meet in
called session and approve the
bond before next regular meeting
night, Jonesboro may have a chief
of police who will be serving with
out bond.
1t is said by legal authority that
should the council by vote refuse
to approve a good bond filed by the
chief, he would have the right of
mandamus proceedings, forcing
them to accept it. And it is also
stated that the council could fail
to approve the bond by an adjourn
ment each time the matter was
brought up for approval. This con-
dition has brought about a tangle
that has set a precedent in police
affairs in Jonesboro.

Girl Aviator Wins Distinction.

of the Russian flying corps on the
Galician front is a girl from a Pet

head, Naylor dying in 10 minutes.
A number of shots then ensued,
some one not yet known to the
public, shooting Johnson down in
the street. The news spread like
wild fire and people thronged the
streets by the hundreds, Judge
Naylor being a prominent man and
ex-county Judge.
The affair was caused by young
Collins telling that Johnson sold
him whisky, Collins father MAX
ing him tell q day or so ago, and
Johnson enraged over the fact that
he had given him away, went to
his home ana called him out. The
affair is one of the worst ever
known, and electrified the whole
town.
Johnson was a desperate charac-
ter and a colleague of Bert Wallace,
who was killed a few miles below

A "Tinker's Dam"

A "tinker's dam" is a wall of
dough or soft clay, raised round a
spot which a plumber, in repair
ing, desires to flood with solder.
The material of this dam can be
used only once, and is thrown away
after this very temporary period of
usefulness. Hence the well-known
