the best thing to do with it?

"Of course; / thought you would un-
derstand that. Then, after it is paved
and drain put In we'll have it re-
paved"
"All in readiness to be dug up again
for the gas pipe? I see you understand
the principles of municipal economy.
And after we have had it repaired for
the second time. then what?"

GILLIAN HELD ON
 MURDER CHARGE

Waiving examination before Jus tice c. M. Easterwood late yesterday afternoon, Clyde Gillian was bound over on a charge of second degree murder for causing the death of his father-in-law, James P. Cole, who died last Thursday near Ingleside The court fixed Gillam's bond al $1, 300 and he was remanded to jail His attorneys state that he will be able to furnish bond.
 In a family fight on May 21 Gil. lam attacked Cole and his wife, par ents of Gillam's wife, with knife inflicting painful injuries on both. Ii will be contended by the defense however that the knife wounds were not the cause of Coles death and that he had recovered from the injuries and died of natural causes.
 The death certificate issued by Dr T. B. Snoddy, who attended Cole ir his last illness, stated that death was due to gastritis and locked bowels but added that loss of blood iron knife wounds was contributing cause.

29 DEAD IN
 TORNADO AT
 H[bER SP'CS

With the restoration of telephone communication to Heber Springs to- day, authentic reports place the num- Der of dead in the storm at that place at 29. Scores were injured, many fa- tally.
 The courthouse and undertaker's office are filled with the bodies of dead and injured, the report stated.
 The entire western residence dis trict of the little city was blown away, only the foundations of the houses be- ing left standing.
 The business district was out of the path of the tornado and was not dam aged.
 Conway relatives of R. L. Brawner, who moved to Heber Springs last fall learned over the telephone that none of his family was hurt and he sus- tained no property damage. Joe L. Rector of the Fair Store has broth CT residing at Heber who he learned escaped injury or damage. Little Rock, June 6.-At least fifty persons are believed to be dead and 250 injured in a series of tornadoes that ravaged at least ten counties in Arkansas late Monday afternoon. All means of communication are cut off or crippled and details of the tragedy are difficult to obtain. It is feared that the list of dead and in- jured will be greatly increased when communication is restored.
 The greatest destruction was wrought at Judsonia town of about 800 inhabitants about 50 miles north east of Little Rock on the Iron Moun- tain railroad One third of the town was destroyed. Seven bodies and 50 injured were recovered from the de- bris. Rescuers, toiling in the dark ness, kept up their work all night.
 The dispatcher's office of the Iron Mountain railroad in Little Rock re- ceived message early in the night that IS persons had been killed and many injured at Heber Springs on the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad in northern Arkansas. Then the railroad wire failed and no fur ther information has come through. Three white persons and two ne- groes were killed in Dallas county in the south central part of the state. Five are known to be dead near Cabot, between Little Rock and Jud- sonia.
 A white woman was killed and 15 were injured at Greenland in Wash. inton County, in the northwestern portion of the state.
 At Germantown, near Morrilton, 55 miles northwest of Little Rock, two negroes were killed, negress was blown away and has not been found and white woman and several chill dren were injured.
 Only the extreme southern and eastern portions of the state appears to have escaped entirely. From many towns come reports of persons being injured. From other towns that were reported in the track of one of the numerous tornadoes, there is an ominous silence.
 In Pulaski county, in which Little Rock is situated, it is estimated that about 40 persons were injured. Most of them were negroes and some will die. Only the extreme western DOT tion of the city suffered although the storm did heavy damage on all sides of it.
 The meager reports indicate that the property damage throughout the state will be enormous.

WARNING TO MOTORISTS

Due to a vigorous campaign elected
against the carelessness of automobil-

there were no serious accidents along
the route of the Long Island railroad.
This year the road has again taken up
the campaign in the hope of repeat
ing the good record of last year.
The company had large illuminated
signs near grade crossings last sum
mer. This year they will be contin-

modified somewhat. They will read:
