Earl Dixon. employed as a lineman by the Peoples Light and Power Co, narrowly escaped electrocution while working at pole in Central Village, Wednesday afternoon. He was stand ing with one foot on a telephone ca ble, the other extended to the arm of the overhead work and using his hands on electric light wires, when he was hit by an escaping current from some undermined source. He was saved by his safety belt from falling 20 feet to the ground, to which he was assisted by George Quinn, another fneman, who secured a ladder to take him down. Dixon was assisted to the office of pr. J. L. Gardner, nearby, and it was found that his left hand and foot were badly burned.

MILEAGE TAX PROPOSED TO SEPARATE
 SCHOOLS OF ARKANSAS FROM POLITICS

Little Rock, April 3.-Announce- ment was made yesterday that peti- tions will be put into circulation immediately for signatures to mi tiate a law placing the state univer- sity and the four agricultural schools on the millage basis. It will require about 12,000 sigma lures to initiate the measure, which will be submitted to the voters of the state at the election to be held in November, 1916. 1t is claimed by friends of the university that a tax levy of one mill will provide the institution with sufficient funds to run for the biennial period of two years. It is very likely that the four agricultural schools will ask for similar levy
 For the past 20 years or more of ficers of the university of Arkan- sas were compelled to remain in Little Rock during the greater part of the legislative session, looking

MILLENNIUM HEN
 GIVES WARNING
Fowl at Wilmot Produces Egg Upon Which Is Plainly Written ''The
 Time Is Here"

Wilmot, Ark, April S.-The peo- pie of this section are greatly excit- ed and mystified over the finding of an egg in a hen at McGinity settle ment, about four miles south of here, on which the words were writ ten: "The time is here"
 The hen, from which the egg was taken, was killed last Saturday to celebrate a log rolling at Hubert McLeod's, and when under process of cleaning the egg bearing the above inscription was found in the hen.
 The three persons present at the time are willing to make affidavit to the fact that the egg in its pres ent state was exactly as found and that it was not doctored.
 The object of curiosity is slight ly brown in color and the letters are raised slightly and are of dark CT hue than the rest of the egg. It has been washed in strong solu- tions but will not be erased-neith- CT can it be scratched off with a knife. The writing is in beautiful long hand script.

Held for Murder.

Piggott, April 8.-Frank Fair banks was held without bail for the murder of one Forbes, who disap- peared from his home on Fairbanks premises about March l5 and has not been heard of since. The feel ing between Fairbanks and Forbes was not the best, on account of rental disputes, but no real diff culty had occurred between them. A preliminary trial was had before Esq. c. B. Evans of this place, and he held Fairbanks without bail for the murder, although the only evil dence that a murder had been committed was that Forbes had dis appeared from home, and was not accounted for. He committed Fair banks to jail without bail when the defendant sued out writ of habeas corpus, which was heard by County Judge w. o. Irby, who granted MT. Fairbanks bail in the sum of s5,OOO, which was readily filled.

after necessary appropriations for the institution, and in a number of instances the appropriations did not come up to the requirements or were considerably less than the amount asked for by the board of trustees of the university
 In the event the tax levy system is adopted it will not be necessary to appeal to the legislature for the appropriations, as the money for the support of the institutions would come from a fund already created for that purpose, just as is now done with the common school and Con- federate pension funds. John c. Futrall, who was in Little Rock this week, stated that the board of trustees of the university of Arkan- sas are unanimous in the opinion that the millage basis will place the university out of politics entire ly and place it on sound financial basis.

MYSTERIOUS CAVE IN STONE COUNTY
 IS PLACE OF DANGER THE YEAR ROUND

Centerville, Iowa, April 3.-While in this place attending to busi- ness matter your correspondent was told about remarkable cave locat- ed in Stone county, Ark. The in formant said he had read with much interest in an article in a paper describing a 20 foot well which had coating of ice in it dur ing the summer time. The cave in he said, and can be found about eight miles from Mountain View, the county seat of Stone county.
 The mouth of the cave is in a solid bluff forty-three feet high. The opening is only about 12 by g inches. After getting into the cave for a distnace of sixty-five feet one comes to a stream of water that no one has ever crossed, he was told because the water is so cold and so very deep.
 In the summer months a person cannot go nearer to the mouth of the cave than fifteen feet, the air coming out with such tremendous force and so cold that none can stand it longer than a few seconds at time. The roar is also almost deafening. During the winter months the mouth of the cave sucks in the outside air, and then it is

Little Rock, April "A decision that will save lumbermen from liti- gation involving hundreds of thou sands of acres of timber land in Arkansas was rendered in the su- preme court Monday in the case of L. J. Burbridge and others against the Arkansas Lumber Com pany. The court affirmed the de cision of the Bradley chancery court nj holding that lumber companies were entitled to cut and remove timber in the regular course of their operations, on a contract where the timber is to be cut "as expeditions ly as possible. Burbridge and oth- CTS brought the suit on grounds Of breach of contract. Their contract with the timber companies provided that the timber was to be removed within a certain number of years.
 This controversy involved about 4,0OO acres of timbered lands in Bradley county. Several large lum- Der Companies bought the timber The deeds provided that the timber should be cut "as eXpeditiously as possible" and unless removed with in cretain varying periods of 12, 20 and 30 years, the companies should nav the taxes on the lands there
 trN1h rpm0V- ed. Burbridge and others bought about 5000 acres of this timber land from the grantors who had conveyed to the lumber companies, and then brought suit to cancel their title on the ground that they had forfeited their contracts by not removing the timber expeditiously, more than 10 years having elapsed since the time of the conveyances to them.
 The finding of the chancellor was in favor of the lumber companies.
 The supreme court affirmed the decision, holding that they had not had A reasonable time in which to remove the timber because 1t IS from IS to 35 miles from their mills at Warren, and because of the neces- sity of first constructing railroads to the lands, which necessarily would require a reasonable time.
 "This was in the contemplation of all the parties when the deeos were first made and as they were proceeding as expeditiously as pos sible under the circumstances to do this, their right to remove the tlm-
