SHELL STRIPS CAP TAIN OF HIS

French captain of artillery in London
on furlough, with five golden rays
across his sleeve.

servation post from which we might
locate several batteries of eight-inch
guns. The position, captured two
days before, could only be reached by
crawling from shell hole to shell hO;e.
1t consisted of a small tree built
about with scaffording, from which
the Germans had enjoyed a safe
view Of the old French lines.
Climbing the scaffolding, I had
a good look at the enemy. My arrival
was greeted by a salVo of shells. Big
spHnters smashed the frail platform
on which 1 stood, so that I tied my
self by my belt to the swaying Tree.
Only a direct hit could bring me
down.
1.-TWO minutes later an eight-inch
shell exploded directly beneath me.
AS l was in the heart of the expIo-
sion, no shrapnel touched me. But
the displacement of air was so ire
mendous that came to stripped Of

 Prel minary examination indicated
 hat the girl had not been assaulted. She was a strong athletically built girl and all the evidence showed that she made a brave fight.
 It is the theory of tie officers that ' man, probably negro, tried to as sault her, and failing killed her in rage.
 The body was found by posse of 700 residents of Levy and officers, aft 2r a four-hour search at II o'clock
 est night. Sheriff John McCuist on Of Newport and officers of hte Memphis pclicc Bepart ment, both with blood 3ounds. were immediately notified by telephone and were expected to arrive n Little Rock at 2:30 this morning.

 yirl that the mule she was driving had returned home without her. The girl came to Argenta at g o'clock yesterday morning to buy groceries anl supplies for her home. She .cit Levy at D. m for home. About 3 p. m. the mule which she had been driv- 'ng came home without the wagon Her parents immediatly began a search. They found the wagon lodged aga 'nst a tree about two miles from he home In it was an old model 3S- caliber revolver, pieces of the girls dress and her evidence of a struggle. They were unable to find any trace of the girl, and after searching three hours, notified the police.
