YELLOW" REPORT
 FINDERS REPAIRS

Sensational news reports to the eff feet that the steel bridge across Cad ron creek had been washed out bv floods have had the effect of delay ing the repair of the structure, which is now considered in a dangerous con- dition, County Judge J. w. Holt said to the Log Cabin Democrat today. MT Larimer of the firm of Larimer X Burgett, contractors for the bridge, telephoned me from Memphis that they had read news dispatch from Conway stating that the failure of the bridge piers was due to floods in the stream, and that they were not respon- sible for damage from that cause" Judge Holt said. "I told them en- phatically that no water had been near the foundations of the piers in three months and the ground for yards around them is baked hard and dry. Of course, there was no high water and the rains had nothing to do with
 the piers buckling, as the foundations have not settled as much as an eighth
 of an inch. But the incorrect report sent out from here has already delay ed the contractors in sending force here to make the necessary repairs, and l wish that our enterprising local newspaper correspondents had been a little more careful and made an inves- tigation before sending out the story"

NEGRO CARRIES HEAVY
 ARTILLERY ON IFS TOUR
Two Big RevOlvers Taken From Bill Nealy, Hoboeing on
 Passenger Train.

Armed to the teeth, a negro giv- ing his name as Bill Nealy, who said his home is In Memphis, Tenn, was arrested this morning by Con- stable Bob King on a charge of rid ing a train without paying his fare. The negro was riding behind the tender on passenger train No. 104, and was chased off by the porter. When the officer started to arrest him, he darted behind a freight train standing on the passing track. He was pursued by the constable and several bystanders and overtaken. When searched two big revolvers, 69 cartridges, bracelet, watch chain and can of talcum powder were found. Bill was taken before Justice c. M. Easterwood and fined $1O and costs. His artillery, jewelry and tale was confiscated by the judge, and a slip entitling him to a fortnight's stay in the county bastile was issu- ed, he having no funds with which to pay his fine.
 Justice Easterwood said he expects to communicate with officers in Lit tie Rock, in regard to the negro, as it is possible he is wanted there for burglary.
 Another negro, riding with Nealy, who also was chased by the porter, climbed upon the trucks of a car and made his getaway.

Further questioning elicited the information that he had spent the day with the men at the hospital and had given away 103 volumes to as many patients.
 Rev. Colquette returned Thursday night from the border, where he and his three assistants distributed sev- eral thousand Bibles to the soldiers An additional 10000 New Testa- ments, bound in khaki, have been or dered for the guards stationed or the border
