The de- partment responded, as we'll as a large crowd of citizens. for the streets were crowded at that hour six o'clock, but no damage was done.

SOME AUTOMOBILE TRIP.

Leaving Springdale at four o'clock Sunday morning, driving all day Sunday. running away from a rain storm at Rogers, arriving at Girard Kansas, at eight o'clock Sunday ev- ening, by way of Joplin. Getting caught in the heaviest rain storm that visited that section of Kansas this year. flooding the roads, and ty- Ing them up in Girard over Sunday, holding them until Tuesday, and re turning to Springdale by way of Ne osho Mo, Exeter and down by Pea Ridge, over some of the toughest roads in the state, crossing the creek at Brlghtwater, where the water was half-radiator high, and arriving in Springdale Wednesday morning at three o'clock, is a brief synopsis o the motor trip of a number of Spring dale people.
 Those in the crowd were: MT and Mrs. w. G. Ownbey and son Julian; Mir. and Mrs. A. NJ. Leitzell and dau- ghter. Miss Velma; Mir. and Mrs W. G. Thompson, and daughter Hazel and son. Clinton, and MT. and Mrs Earl Thompson. The trip was made in the Dodge car of w. c. Ownbey and the AbbotDetroit of Mr Thomp- son
 The trip to Girard was all that could be expected, the roads were in good shape, and outside of a little rain at Rogers, which was left be- hind before reaching Gravette, noth- ing occurred to mar the pleasure of the party. Sunday night, however. a heavy rain storm visited Girard and other sections in Kansas. and made travel by automobile impossible The roads had dried up sufficiently by Teusday to start the journey home, but were in such a condition as to make the driving almost impos- sible. The party reached home Wed nesday morning, tired and worn out, with cars covered with mud, but no other damage reported.
 Miss Leftzell remained in Girard,
 where she will spend several days visiting relatives Mrs. Leitzell will join her in q short time.

BASS LAW OUT JUNE 20 SAYS PROSECUTING AT.
 TORNEY JOHN COMBS

Prosecuting Attorney John Coombs, of Huntsville has told friends in this section, who have made inquiries that he construes the bass law in this county to be out OH June 20th, and not June 10th. Next Sunday is June 20th, and the greater part of this week will be spent by local fish, ermen ill getting out the wooden min nows, the reel, and the bristol pole, giving them all a good cleaning up. in anticipation of some good sport. ft is reported that the heavy rises ill the rivers through this section this spring have greatly improved the fishing in this section, and that all the streams are well stocked with bass, black perch, jack salmon, and other game fish. Some local fishermen are wondering if the fish ladder at the big dam on White River near =Btans on, Is sufficient to
 
 come up tie river during rise The ladder was put in under the super vision of the government, and is supposed to be constructed so that fish may come over the dam at any time. However, parties who have been at the dam and seen the ladder state that the holes just below the dam are literally filled with fish that cannot come up to the dam.
 A party of fishermen from Spring field visited the dam some few W eks ago, in order to investigate the conditions at the dam, but on ac- count of the high water, it was i'm possible to make an examination, and they are now waiting until the river goes down enough to make a report.
 Several cans of game fish from the government hatchery were sent to Fayetteville Saturday Of last week and were taken to Clear Creek, White River Illinois and other streams, aid turned loose This was done in springdale some three years ago by local parties, and it is now. supposed that the fish are large enough for catching. The government will supply fish only in sections where the fish are protected by am pie game laws, and where no DINA HITTING is permitted; where seins are not allowed, and are sent to parties who will see that they are immediately taken to the rivers and streams for distribution.

PEACH CROP ESTIMATED
 AT 200 TO 225 CARS

At a meeting of the officers of the Peach Growers Exchange held lat ter part of last week, Geo. D. Bran denberg, of Gadsend, Tenn, was Sc laeted as Sales Manager for the com ing season. Secretary Robb places the shipment of Elbertas from this place this year at between POO and 225 cars, and shipments will con- mence about August 1st. Peaches are rapidly rounding into form, and the nearer the shipping season ap- breaches, the better the fruit is show ing up. This year, will probably be the biggest year Springdale has ever known in the peach growing in- dustry, and with favorable weather the next six weeks, the fruit will all ba of good quality. and will bring top market prices. A few orchards that were reported slightly damaged by hail some weeks ago, are in much better shape than first anticipated. and very little of the fruit will be lost Mir Brandenberg is not a stranger to the peach growers of this section, as he has been In Springdale before buying peaches. and is acquainted with large num- Der of the growers. He is one of the best known peach salesmen in the south, and his services will un- doubtedly be a great benefit in the marketing of the local crop The marketing of the crop now seems to be the only question of a prosperous year for the local peach growers.

 WORTHLESS CHECKS

 Se,dom has such interest been manifest in Springdale over the out come of single game, and the fem mine "rooters' who occupied the grand-stand in goodly number en- couraged their favorite team from first to last.
 The feature of the game was the pitching Of Lyle Harris, for the hristian-Methodist Only fifteen years of age, this was his initial ap- pearance ill game with such oppo- sition as he faced yesterday Lyle has been playing with the young sters around town, and when an- nouacement was made that he would occupy the mouni for the Christian Methodist many were of the opinion that he could not stand the strain. From the first ball pitched until the last put-out in the ninth, Harris pitched ball that woIld do credit to a pitcher with many years experience and remaining cool in every pinch, he completely cared the crowd off their feet, He was pitted again t Tillman and Thompson. pitchers for the First Baptist, ard who have pitch ed ball for the past two years. pitcE- ing for the regulars of Springdale, and who had him bested in exper- fence, curves and speed. Harris out classed his opponents at all stages of the game Tillman yielded seven hits, Thompson three, while Harris allow ed s.

Harris presented only o1e. and that in the first half of tae ninth when he weakened preeeptibly while Thompson gave three free passes to first. Harris is credited with no wild pitches, while Thomp- son gets credit for three. and they came at time when runners were ol third, and scored.

Springdale Merchant Gives Fayetteville Firm Two Checks-NO Funds
 to Cover

I F. Taylor. who came to Spring dale just recently from McAlester, Okla, and opened stock of dry goods in the building next to the garage, was arrested Monday, on in- formation filed by Deputy Prosecut- ing Attorney \. G. Flowers, of Fay etteyille charging him with obtaining goods by means of a false writing. or in shorter words passing q worthless check
 Mir Taylor came to Springdaie s9ma months ago, and his wife and child went up to Seligman, Mo, 10 visit relatives. He made arrange ments with Mr. Duggin, who is run nine a grocery store in the west side Of the building to put fn a small stock of dry goods. Permission was granted and Mr Taylor went to Fay ettevine where he purchased quite a supply of goods from the Fair Store at that place.
 In paying his bill. u is alleged, Mir. Taylor gave a check, according to the authorities of the First Ma tional Bank at this place, the first check amounting to S10. =; and lat er gave another check for S41.S5. In the regular routine Of business the checks came to Springdale= for pay ment, and it was found that Mir. Tay- Tor had no money on deposit, in eith CT of the banks of Sprinedale, and never had placed an account with either The checks were promptly turned down and sent back to Fay ettevine.
 The manager Of the Fair Store fn1= mediately started proceedings on the worthless paper.
 When asked fer an explanation as to checks, Mr. Taylor stated that he had some money on deposit In the First National Bank at McAlester, Okla, and had just neglected to make q change in the check: he was using d regular check of the First Nation al here, and failed to mark off the name Springdale. and place In Me Alester.
 An investigation by the officers dis closed the fact that Taylor had no money in McAlester.
 An investigation was then start ed and 1t was found that Taylor had become quite adept in passing out these worthless checks, and aside from the ones to the Fair store at Fayetteville, it is reported had made out some to local parties on the Farmers X Merchants Bank at this place.
 He was arrested Monday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Avis, and taken to Fayetteville where he was plac- ed in jail ia default of bond
 Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Flow. CTS, accompanied by l.. \. Coleman, manager of the Fair Store at Fayette- vile came to Springda1e Tuesday morning, and took charge of a great CT portion of the stock purchased from the Fair Store by Taylcr The entire bill of goods was not recover el as Taylor had sold from the stock on Saturday.
 It is also alleged that Taylor has purchased other bills of goods, among them a shoe order amounting = about $400 and that he gave a check in payment for them.
 Taylor's wife was in Springdale Tuesday, and immediately counter manded all bills of goods which were out for shipment.
 The date of the preliminary hear ing of Taylor has not been set accord ing to adyices from Fayetteville, as they are waiting on information from Taylor's relatives. who 1t is under stood, are amply able to take up his worthless paper. should they deem it best
