with hloodhounds from Little Rock
and Arkadelphia are securing the
thickets in this vicinity for bandits
who early today attempted to hold
up Iron Mountain passenger train

reports said two of the bandits were
killed and deputy wounded in

would-be robbers. There was no
confirmation, however
Engineer Howard's GOODNESS prob
ably saved the passengers and mail
clerks from being robbed. The two
men entered the cab shortly after
the train left Malvern. Each was
masked and armed.
"Go ahead" they said, "and don't
stop until you see two campfires.
Stop ut the second"
Howard put on full steam and the
train went on at 50-Inile an hour
clip and beyond the fires. where II
Is thought confederates of the men
were hidden. About mile past
the fires the engine was halted. The
duo leaped from the cab and disap-
peared In the darkness.

Fell in LOUe Win a
"CroWn of Glory" But
ALdsI 'TUdS False

James Dunn fell ir love with wo-
mans crowning glory.
This wasn't an ordinary glory. 1t
was something that could be- COM
pared, say, to.a western sun, set
ting behind snow-capped mountain
peaks. Dunn told Judge Van Zile,
Thursday. that his wife, Ethel, had
the most beautiful, wavy brown hair
lie had ever seen.
But like good things which seem
too beautiful to be within reach on
this earth, Dunn could only think
OF the beauties of his wife's hair,
for the first two weeks after their
marriage.
"She seemed to keep away from
me-" testified the husband. while ap-
plying for a divorce. II would ask
her why we didn't start house-keep-
ing, and she seemed shy, and wanted
10 keep at a distance. Finally be-
came disappointed. and said would
go to my parents home In the coun-
try to live"
Mrs. Dunn said she would accom-.
pany her husband to the quietude
of rural life.
The morning after the first night
they spent on the farm. he awoke
in the morning and saw the glories
OF the sunset hanging from the mir
ror on the dresser. Decree granted

ATTORNEYS BILL

"You lawyers can't come into this
court and estimate the value OF your
services in round numbers want
an itemized accounting from law
yer, Just as I want 1t from anyone
else who appears In this court"
Probate Judge Edward Command
made these remarks. Friday. as he
slashed the bill of prominent at
torney from $500 TO 5000. The law
yer had acted as guardian for Mich
olas Booms. Booms has a wife and
two children. Five hundred and
eight dollars 10 left Of the estate.
The wife IL I'll.
In rendering his annual account,
the lawyer-guardian inserted an item
for $500. for his services. more than
half the amount that was left in .he
estate.
"rhe statutory fee is $780," said
Judge Command. "I'll grant that
you had to do extraordinary service
In this case, and give you 500 for
that, but you haven't shown me
where you have any more coming.
The wife and children need the
money more than you
Booms, through Attorney Charles
c. Ashurst, had contested the fee
asked for by his guardian.
