HERE AND YONDER.

Cll de Fullerton and Lonne Will
son, farmer boys living near town
had quite strenuous time Satur-
day night. Mrs. Ben Adams, wife
of the rural route carrier, was
away and Ben was spending the
night with his parents. Ben has
a car and these boys thought it
good time to take a ride. So
they took Ben's car out. Mrs.
VIM. Ristig, who lives near. heard
them and gave the alarm. But
the boys speeded away and were
chased by Ben and Glenn Adams
i'll Glenn's car. But the boys hit
only the high places. They raced
through Oran down by Morley
and back to Benton, where they
abandoned the car. Arrests fol-
lowed and the boys were put un-
der bond of 500 each for their
appearance here Saturday.

The people Of Fornfelt had an
exciting time Thursday afternoon
i'll an effort to quench the fire
that destroyed five residence
buildings on the south side of the
railroad. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a defective
llue III the building occupied by
L. l.. Hughes-a six room house
built when Fornlelt was first
plated by Henry SChuette. The
other buildings belonged to Mrs.
Mabel Ringo. Arthur Keller. W.
McMullin, j. II. Bryant and u.
Devine. Fornlelt has neither va
| ter works nor lre-fiy yhting
equipment, and the bucket hri y
de soon found itself short OH
water. Most Of the contents Ul
the buildings were saved.
The way that Cornelius Roach
was left at the post in the guber-
| material race indicates that the
court house organs vi the differ
ent counties are losing out among
/ the people. III every county
/ Roach mad at least one paper
I boosting him. Where he divided
his 500 constitutional amenu-
melts pie among two or more pa
/ Iers OF county two years ago,
/ he had TWO or more papers sup
porting him. In all. he had over
/ sixty thousand dollars vi pubic
| money 70 hand out to papers Sc
l.cted' by him ali over the state.
Yet ne hardly blacked the board.
| This seems TO prove tnat the peu-
pie are getting next TO the kept
| organs.
