KIAH REGAIN FREED
OF ORAN STABBINC
Jury at Benton Acquits Him of
Charge of Attacking Mar
shall Spradlin

A jury in the Circuit Court at Ben
ton acquitted Khan Regain, we'll known
in Scott County, who was tried before
Judge Frank Kelley on a charge of
stabbing David Spradlin, Oran city
marshal. The verdict of the jury was
returned late Tuesday night after sew
eral hours elaboration.
Marshal Spradlin was stabbed more
than a half dozen times on the day
before Faster Sunday, as he interfered
in fight between two men in Oran.
He was knocked to the ground and cut
so severely that for several days it
was believed that his wounds would be
fatal.
The man who piled the dagger made
his escape and general search for
him was instituted by the police. The
stabbing was fastened upon Regain as
his work and he was caught several
weeks ago in Iowa.
He was returned to Benton where he
lay in Jail awaiting trial in his failure
to give bond. Attorneys c. n. MOI
ley and Daugherty of Benton defended
Regain and obtained his acquittal.
Prosecuting Attorney John McWil-
liams was aided with his side of the
case by r. B. Oliver Jr., and r. l..
Dcarmont.

The newspapers and the magazines

the mOving-picture shows, and even
actual battles have found their way
TO the screen. Military critics are
everywhere.
Martial Ideal Aroused.
The Spanish-American war came
with rush; the mobilization Of this
June was the close of months of study
Of when and how and where. The
martial ideal of a people was seen in
tne nlaSSlnS OF troops, tie moving OIL
trains, the mastering of industrial re-
sources. Everywhere men sprang TO
their new job of soldering eager and
alert. The veterans of the National
Guard were the first recruits to re-
spond, for after serving for seven
years in days of peace many were
glad enough to pursue the hope of ac-
tive service.

encouraged not only to enlist in it

The galleries OF every armory vera
filed with the mothers, wives and
sweethearts. Woman, when the warn
ing of war comes, Is both proud and
sad. She weeps tor the going of q
man to fight and smiles within that
he wants to go. And so in the dim
armories sat the women in their sor.
row and their pride, watching the
routine Of preparation and peering
closely for loved ones busted in the
almost endless task of making ready.
There are no Spartan mothers these
days, but two years contemplation of
efficiency has developed their spirit in
American women, all seeing even in
their anxiety.
BristIing With Bayonets.
In cities like New York there was
TO ne seen everywhere the sign of mar
tial rule. Sentries patrolled in front
of the armOries and the state soldiers
were instructed not to leave the build
ingS without passes. Once out in the
streets they were walking signs of the
swift change which had passed over
the community, as they strobe along
with their ClOth-clad cantecnS, their
holsters and their taut belts. News
boys followed in their wake calling
the ''EXtraS.' and showing pages
bristIing with bayOnets.
What mobilization means is famiI-
lar To all. for the picture of the sud
den gathering Of the armed forces of
Europe is even now fresh upon the
public mind. The movement of the
militia conjurcs up visions of Berlin,
when one morning civilians ceased to
be, as they went methOdical wise to
certain lockers, and presently came
back into the world again clad in
Smoko-huPd uniforms, crowned with
spiked helmets and German precision,
and all duly numbered and marked
for Identification when killed. all fully

biliZatiGn of the American militia. and
yet 50 well had some of the lessons
OF preparedness been learned that the
troops OH the whole We're probably
more quickly sent on their way then
ever before.
Mule Still a Factor.
One Of the dcvclopmcntS of modern
warfare is to cheat the army mule out
of his occupation, and yet he thrivcs
in the United States. He is still
factor in the American army despite
the development of the seIf-prOpcilcd
truck. The forage for animals and
the hundreds Of thousands of gallons
OF wafer required for their drink is
in itself q large item Of the camp
budget.
Conditions have changed much since
the SpaniSh-Amcrican war, when the
laying Of camps and the proper sani-
tation and drainage were often mat
ters more Of theory than Of practice.
