ST. FRANCES LEVEE
BONDS ARE PLACED
Chicago Firm Bids Par, With Added
Premium of $1,400-Total Is
sue Amounts to $465,000.

Marion, March 25.-The direc-
tors of the ST. Francis levee district
met here yesterday for the purpose
of receiving bids for the S465, 900
bond issue recently authorized by
the legislature. Only two bids were
received that of John Nuveen e
Co. of Chicago, who offered par and
premium of 81, 400 and expense
of engraving the bonds; 100000
to be paid in cash and the balance
at rate of $4,000 per month as the
construction work progressed.
The Bank of Commerce and Trust
Company of Memphis and the
Compton Bonding Company of st.
Louis bidding together offered par
with $195,000 cash and the balance
to be advanced as the construction
work progressed. At this juncture
Eugene Williams, secretary of the
board, requested the Nuveen people
to advance more ready cash, which
Mr.. King, representing them, agreed
to do and changed his bid to $780,
900 cash.
This action opened up the fire
works and Messrs. Thompson and
Dysert, representing their compa-
n.y. declared that as Mr.. King had
changed his bid after the opening
that they had a right to change
theirs and offered premium of S2,-
600 and the same amount of ad-
vance in cash. This brought on a
discussion among members of the
board "a number of whom wanted to
reject all bids and auction the
bonds to the highest bidder. Mr..
Thompson stated that this was what
he wanted and that he would start
the bid at par with the premium of
$4,000. After a number of argu-
ments as to the legality of the
matter, the whole thing was settled
by awarding the bonds to Nuveen
& Co. A resolution was passed fix
ing the legal domicile of the board
at Marion until site could be Sc
cured at Bridge Junction and a
proper building erected.
The legislature recently moved
the domicile from Marion to
Bridge Junction.

BADLY INJURED
Ben c. Baker Has Serious Accident
as Result of Broken Coupling
on Freight Train.

McGehee, March 25.-Iron Noun
tain Brakeman Ben c. Baker was
painfully cut about the face late
Monday evening when a through
freight train on which he was en-
ployed broke in two near Snow
Lake. The train was running at
about 25 miles per hour and Baker
was riding in the cupalo of the ca
boose. The couplings between two
cars broke and this automatically
applied the air brakes to the cars.
The impact threw Baker through
the window of the cupalo, terribly
lascerating his face, a large piece of
glass severing an artery just above
his eye.
First aid treatment was given by
the company surgeon at Snow Lake
and the train was brought into Nc
Gehee, where Baker was attended by
Dr. A. c. Hearn in the local COM
pany hospital.

BORED SMALL HOLE

Kahoka, Mo, Osteopath, Recovering
From "Frightfup Operation,
Preparing for Another.

Chicago, Ill, March 25.-Dr Wal
ter F. Pauley, osteopath of Kahoka,
Mo-, is in Chicago, awaiting strength
to perform a second operation upon
himself to save his sight.
The physician, suffering from
what he hopes is only temporary
blindness, told how he operated up
on his forehead month ago in
spite of blindness and intense pain.
Propped up in bed at the home
of his brother, H. ]. Pauly, this re-
markable man was able to smile over
|, his misfortune.
Like Nine. Bernhardt, l can
say, I'll never die unless somebody
kills me, " he laughed.
A month ago DR.. Pauly was ad-
justing a bone in the arm of wo-
man patient. Her husband, who
was holding her well arm, suddenly
released it and the woman struck
the physician hammerlike blow in
the left eye. The blow glanced to
the nose, fratcuring the bridge.
In spite of sudden blindness the
doctor calmly ordered the woman at
tended to and set his own nose. In
tense pain, caused by what appear
ed to be a ruptured blood vessel,
followed.
Shortly afterward the sight of his
right eye was gone, and a few days
later he became totally blind. The
force of the blow had paralyzed the
crossing nerves of the two eyes.

made an incision as close to the in
fected part as l dared, on the left
eyebrow, at the point closest to the
nose" he said.
"Then l took a small dentists
gimlet with a screw-like end, meas
pring in length about three-six-
teenths of an inch, and began to
bore.
"It took an hour and five min
utes. The worst came when l at
tempted to withdraw the gimlet.
That was frightful, but the opera
tion was uccessful.

PIONEER CITIZEN
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Uncle" 0be Newsom, One of Early
Settlers, Passes Away.

Word was received here this
morning to the effect that Uncle"
ODE Newsom died yesterday after
noon of pneumonia at his home
near Finch. Uncle ODE was near
ly eighty years old and was one of
the early settlers of Greene county
having located here when the bear
and the buffalo roamed the coun-
try. He served with distinction in
the Confederate army, and return
ing to Greene county he helped to
fight the sterner battles of the re-
construction days. Mr.. Newsom was
civil engineer and surveyor, and
though one of the oldest citizens
of the county, he was hale and
hardy and continued his outdoor
work through the past severe win
ter. Uncle ODE was perhaps
known either personally or by rep
utation to every man, woman and
child in Greene county, and his
death will be sincerely mourned by
the entire citizenship.
Funeral services will be held at
Finch tomorrow morning at eleven
o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. c.

EXPENSIVE ROADWAY
OPENED NEXT WEEK
Best Highway in State Now Con-
meets Hot Springs Outside World.

Little Rock, March 25.-What is
without doubt the most expensive
bit of road building in Arkansas
will be opened to the public next
Saturday in a celebration in Hot
Springs. This is the road connect
ing Hot Springs with the outside
world. The pike is completed only
from Hot Springs to the Saline
county line, but as the road winds
through the hills and the old creek
bottom route has been obliterated
through a series of costly concrete
bridges, the trip to Hot Springs by
motor is now thing of pleasure,
instead of an undertaking for only
the venturesome motorist.
Saline county has lacked the
means to close the gap between the
Pulaski and Garland county bounda-
ries, and thus make it continuous
macadam road to Hot Springs from
Little Rock, but the road commits
sioners of this county have done
such wonders with the dirt road
that little difference is noticed, ex-
cept in extremely rainy weather.
The road laws enacted by the re-
cent general assembly are expected
to result in east and west roads out
of Little Rock, so that in a short
time Hot Springs will be accessible
to Memphis, and many other cities
by motor car, enabling the owners
to spend the week end in Hot
Springs.

he has trained them to dig straight

to one of the animals hind legs, in
dicates where the hole is to be dug,
and when it is sufficiently deep he
pulls the cord. The woodchuck then
scrambles UP for his reward of dried

license taken out under the new
game and fish law was sold yester-

There is some complaint by fisher
men who want to fish with trot
lines during the season closed by
the law to all nets, traps and other
devices, trot lines coming under this
latter classification. The closed sea-
son is the spring spawning season,
during which no fishing may be
done except by hook and line.

In paragraph 13 of the bill the sem
