The Hot Springs Fair Associati) )n in recent session has declared that it will be impossible to have an exhibit there this year. There is something like $5,000 due in premiums at last years fair and this with the amount that it will require to have show this year is considered too large by the citizens of Hot Springs. We'll, this is to be regretted. Anyway don't let us forget that there will be a bigger and better fair at Hope this year.

PRESCOTT MAY AGAIN
 BE WITHOUT GAS

Lewisville, May 24.-With Red river rising at the rate of six feet in the last 24 hours, only heroic work can save the gas main which supplies Prescott and other cities of the state. The river is at flood stage at Fulton now. No repairs have been made since the break at the first of the month in the levee which protects the bottom lands in Lafayette county. Water will be coming through there within the next 12 hours. Part of the gas pipe still is on trestles at the place of the former washout, and t is very doubtful if the line can be saved from another break.
 Thousands of acres of cotton, re- "lanted since the waters went down, are showing a good stand nov, t will be flooded again, destroying the crop too late for a second plarting

The day current for Prescott began today at noon and will probably be continued throughout the summer months. Effort is being made to have the current continuous and if the pro- per machinery can be installed by the latter part of this year this will be done. There is an increasing demand for continuous current and it will become an absolute necessity in a short time. At this time there are not enough electric motors in Prescott to pay the expenses of operating the plant 24 hours each day, but when our people are assured of the service they will install many electrical devices which will make the operation of the plant self-sustaining.

FIVE CONY|CTS
BOLT FROM PEN
DESPERATE CHARACTERS IN
CLUDED IN KANSAS JAIL DE-
LIVERY.

At Leavenworth, Kas., last Friday
five prisoners made their escape from
the Kansas State penitentiary at Lam
sing and at late hour that night
were still at large. The five were in
separate cells when all of the cells
were unlocked. Leaving the cells they
broke thru the roof of the building
with an iron bar and let themselves
down outside the wall by a rope made
of bedsheets.
VIM. Latrasse, convicted of train
robbery, was the leader. He was
found guilty of holding up and robbing
a Missouri Pacific train near Kansas
City in 1910. The others were Glenn
Davis, convicted of murder, serving q
life term, Frank Miller No. 4, who re.
Gently killed another convict; Roy
Bronson and Charles Bauman, botl
convicted of burglary.

DARING DIAMOND ROBBERY
PULLED OFF SATURDAY NIGHT
FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL OTHER
CRIMES IN OUR CITY

quarters and stated that his clothes
had been robbed of $216 while staying
at a local hotel. He had recently come
to the city and got check cashed and
was drinking some the evening before
and was flashing his roll, when he was
given tip that he had better be lit
tie careful of his money or he might
lose it. Later in the day Sunday
party told the Sheriff that he was one
of the persons sleeping in the room
with Olson, occupying another bed and
that in the night he was awakened and
saw man enter the room and take
Olson's pants and carry them out into
the hall and later returned them near
the bed, but why he made no effort to
give the alarm or let the officers know
what he had seen until the next day
seems little strange. While the Of
ficers have clew, they have made no
arrests up to this time.
Sunday evening there was a hurry
up call from the DR.. Sihler residence
asking the police to come there at
once as man was trying to break in
to the house. Sheriff Olson accom-
panied by VIM. Hurst went there and
found drunken fellow on the steps.
He was so stupid drunk that he did
not seem to realize where he was. He
was landed in the callaboose. It was
a good thing for him that he made no
no particular effort to get in as Mrs.
Sihler, who was alone at home with
her little daughter, stood on the in
side of the door with an automatic re-
volver in her hand ready to do execu-
tion had he tried to get in. The fel-
low was very drunk and evidently was
trying to get to the place he was stay
ing, but missed connections.
While there has not been much
crime committed in this city, this fall
when we consider the large number OF
transients who have been in this Sec
tion, it is believed that this city is the
headquarters for a bed band OF
desperadoes, and unless extra precau-
tions be taken to see that they move
on we may expect to hear of more rob.
berries and hold-ups.

One OF the most daring diamond
robberies ever pulled off in this or any
other city was staged at the Herman
Huesgen store about 700 o'clock Sat-
urday evening when a fairly we'll
dressed man entered the store and
asked to see some diamonds with
view to purchasing. He also wanted
to look at some watches, and after Mr..
Huesgen displayed several costly dia-
monds and watches, the fellow got his
hands onto two diamond rings and a
valuable gold watch, pushed danger
GUS looking gun under Mr.. Huesgen's
nose and demanded that he not move
and backed out of the place and made
his getaway in the darkness. The on
ly other person in the store at the
time was Mr.. Huesgen's son, Howard,
1t was done SO quick that Mr.. Huesgen
hardly had time to think. He rushed
out on the street and called police
several times and tried to follow the
fellow who lodged around the corner
of the Western Hotel and probably
across the track onto the west side.
The police and Sheriff Olsen were at
once notified and they started search
but the fellow had made good his es-
cape, and up to this time nothing has
been discovered which would lead to
the arrest of the guilty party. He
was evidently alone, and had planned
it so that he would be at the store
when most people were at supper and
very few on the streets. The dia.
monds and watch were valued at $500
Itwas most daring robbery and the
perpetrator was undoubtedly an ole
hand at the business.
Only few minutes after this 8
young man who had been working fol
T. Shelver, in South Minnewaukar
township, arrived in the city and tole
the police that he had been held up by
two men near the nursery and they Sc.
cured only cheap watch, but no mon.
ey, as all he had was a check which hi
had intended getting cashed when hi
got to town.

OF VIM. Olson appeared at police head

MARY P|CKfORD
IN 'ESMtRALDA

Esmeralda, BY Frances Hodgson
Bernett, author of the pretty Sister
of Jose"and the "Dawn of Tomorrow"
what names to conjure with! And
added to these great names of sue
cessful plays and gifted author, the
unparalleled name of Mary Pickford
as further and complete guaranty of
the indispensable beauty and appeal
of the photo-production of this IA
nous dramatic success, produced by
the Famous Players Film Co., will be
at the Grand Saturday Matinee and
night.
And as if these sterling names were
not sufficient to suggest the impor-
tance of this feature attraction, such
favorites as Ida Waterman Fuller
Mellish, who distinguished himself as
the pope of the Famous Players great
photo-spectacle, "The Eternal City,"
and Charles Waldron, the head of the
recent dramatic triumph Daddy Long
Legs" who made his screen debut in
recent Famous Players feature,
''When We were twenty-one", from
the conspicuous members of the sup
porting company that, together with
the transcendant art of Mary Pickford
make "Esmeralda" one of the notable
feature productions of the year.
"Esmeralda," with it's appeal to the
finer senses, its depletion of the sweet
comforts of farm-life and it's expo
sition Of the dangers and shams Of the
city, was a great play, and is greater
photo-play. The authors two former
plays produced by the Famous Players
Finn Co., in paramount pictures, were
both unusual successes. The third
should even exceed the popularity of
its predecessors.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Five years time
and an expenditure of $27,000,000 is

hands of a receiver, according to the
special report of J. w. Kendrick, made

says.
'The full amount of the savings or
economies suggested will not be real
lied until the last year, June 80, 1921.
'"The major part of the capital ex-
penditures should be made during the
first three years; the money so requir-
ed is estimated to be $27,000,000."
Goes Into Details.
The synopsis mentions $6,008,000
for grand revision, new lines, sidings,

ion, it is estimated that the net annual
saving in the operating expenses for
the first fiscal year ending June 80,
