TO Be COMMITTED
TO STATE ASYLUM

An effort is being made to have
Miami Davis, COL, wife of j. r.
Davis of this place, committed to
the State Hospital for Nervous
Diseases at Little Rock, and it is
probable that this will be done at
the term of the county court
week after next. The necessary
papers have been filed with the
clerk of the court.
Aunt Miami, who has lived in
Washington for many years. has
been in bad health for several
years and she has been mentally
unbalanced for the past two or
three years, although she has
not been violent at any time. 1t
is thought that treatment at the
state hospital might prove bene-
ticial to her.

BATTLE FOUGHT
BY U.S.SOLDIERS
CarranZa Forces and Tenth
U. S. Cavalry Have
Engagement.

The latest news from the Mex
ican front brings information of
battle fought eenAmerican
troops and forces of the Carranza
army. the Tenth Cavalry, a ne
gro regiment, having been enga-
ged. The loss of American for
ces is given as II killed and 40
wounded, and ais o a number
taken prisoners. This informa-
ton comes from Mexican sour
ces. IRE is also information
that General Gomez, Carranza
officeF, was killed in the fight.
There is little doubt but that a
battle his been fought between
the forces of the United States
and Mexico, but coming from the
source it does, the information is
unreliable.
General Funston h wired
Washington news of the fight,
but does not give the number of
casualties. His information is
that the American forces were
deceived into a trap with the aid
of flag of truce and fired on with
6chine guns.

Mr.. w. b. Lane of Hope will
represent Hampstead county on
the Arkansas on Wheels" train
on the advertising tour of the
east this year. The train is to
leave Little Rock about the mid
die of October and the trip will
consume about fourteen days,
many important cities of the
east being included in the itener
airy. Stops will be made at Mem
phis, Birmingham. Atlanta, Ga,
Charlotte, n. c., Richmond, Va,
Washington, d. c., Pittsburg,
Penn, Columbus, Ohio, Indian
apolis, Ind, st. Louis, Mo-, and
other cities of the north and east.
The train will carry exhibit cars

About 200 boosters from various
parts of Arkansas will accompany
the train.

idea was originated several years
ago and three successful trips
have previously been made to the

results to the state have far ex-
ceeded the expectations of those
interested. The success of the

will depend largely on the inter
