KID HORSFTH|fYfS
ARE ARRESTED HERE
ARE But II YEARS old
DIMINUTIVE OUTLAWS FOUND
HERE ARE TAKEN TO NOR
RILTON FOR TRIAL.

From Mondays Daily
Probabl ythe most diminutive horse
thieves ever placed under arrest in
this state are Fred Kelley and Jesse
Banks of Van Buren,, who state they
are only II years old, arrested here
by Deputy Sheriff J. l. Summers
Sunday, charged with stealing a
horse and buggy and mule at Nor
rilton Saturday.
The arrest of the boys came about
through a coincidence of a search by
Argenta officers for two runaway
boys, Tom Roach and George Stewart
II years old. The sheriff's Office at
Conway had been notified to look for
the Argenta boys, and upon learning
that two boys of similar description
had arrived here on freight train
early yesterday morning, and, after
sleeping a few hours in cottonseed
house, had gone to the home of b. A
Arthur in search of food, Deputy
Summers took the boys in custody and
notified the Argenta officers The lat
l1lOTulcu DOyS CiSy wy
seeking had already been found and
that the two Conway boys were prob
ably a couple wanted at Morrilton for
stealing horses. After telephoning to
Morrilton this was found to be cor
rect, and Deputy Sheriff Hall Morrell
|of Conway county came down this
morning and took the boys to Morrill,
ton for trial.
1t is charged that the boys stole a
horse and buggy from Bud Wallace
a negro living near Morrilton, and
after driving about three miles,
abandoned the outfit and stole mule
belonging to white man named
Frank Jumper. The mule was con-
cealed by them in a thicket, but was
found and the boys, evidently fearing
capture, fled to Conway.
Both the diminutive prisoners,
while very small in stature, have pre-
maturely old and hardened faces and
are said to belong to gang of youth
full criminals which has been operat-
ng around Van Buren, for some time.
Both of them refused to talk and de-
clined to answer when questioned.

SEEKS TO ANNUL
HUSBANDS DEEDS

From Tuesdays Daily
In a suit filed in the Faulkner chan
Gerry court this week, Mrs. M. Il.
Barker, widow of the late B. b.
Barker, seeks to annul two deeds al
legged to have been made by her hus-
band, in which two pieces of residence
property were conveyed to his chill
dren and grandchildren. The defend
ants named in the complaint are Mag
gle Hawk, A. N. Hawk, Goldie Flip
pen, Alver Barker, Beatrice Saunders
and Clause Saunders. The plaintiff
alleges that Mr.. Barker owned lot 4
block 8, Robinson's plan of Conway
which was his and the plaintiff S
homestead, and also lot 3, part of lot
II and part of lot 4, block 35, Robin
sons plan of Conway, and that since
his death the defendants have caused
to be placed on record deeds convey
ing to Beatrice Saunders and Alvef
Barker the property which plaintiff
claims as a homestead, and to Mag
gle Hawk and Goldie Flippen the re-
mainder of his real estate. The plain
tiff states that she has been appoint
ed administrators of the Barker es-
tate. She charges that the deeds are
not genuine, that she did not join in
them, and that they were not legally
delivered to the grantees prior to her
husbands death. The complaint asks
that the deeds be cancelled and set
aside, that her homestead and dover
interest be confirmed in lot 4, block 8,
and the remainder be sold for parti-
ton among her and the heirs as their
interest may appear.

L0LL|E INSURANCE
GOOD, AFTER ALL
Ii AN.2.n

From Fridays Daily
The third time is said to be the
charm and this the third story OF
the Log Cabin Democrat regarding
the insurance on the burned school
building at Lollie will doubtless seem
charming to the patrons of that dis
trict who have not already learned
that it was all a mistake-or, rather
that the second chapter of the serial
was a mistake-and that the build
ing was really insured in a solvent
company for $1,000.
The fire occurred Tuesday morning
and was reported in the Log Cabin
Democrat of that day, the amount of
insurance being given at $4,000. We'd
nesday afternoon J. A. Billings, one
of the directors, informed the Log
Cabin Democrat that the insurance
was carried in the defunct Planters
company and was worthless. After
he had returned to his home, how
ever, he recalled that after the fail
ure of the Planters he had transfer
red the insurance to the Aetna Fire
Insurance Company and in the ex-
element following the fire had for
gotten that important circumstance.
The school building will be rebuilt at
once and the net loss to the district
will be only $1,000, instead OF
$4,000.

The close of the state Baptist con-

Otto Whitington's pastorate of the
Conway church, Dr. Wilmington hav-
ing rendered his resignation several
weeks ago to accept a position as
evangelist for the Southwestern Bap-

Worth, Tex. DR.. Wilmington was
packing up this morning preparatory
to moving to Little Rock to make his

strong resistance of some of his

said he might decide to change his
plans and still make his home here.
The church has not yet extended a
call to a minister to succeed Dr. Whit
