kiki field on Sunday by the score OF
% to "a. The game was very good
despite the large score made Both
teams met the ball squarely and hit it
hard. Troop V played a smuggling game
but Troop TX hunted several times IN
! stead of hitting and thus they played
more heady game than the FLYERS
In the last inning Troop V had the
chance of their lives to score, but
they resorted to the hitting game and
Immediately hit into a double play
This double play, by the way, saved
the game for Troop TX. Wise, the
first man up, doubled to center;
Naole, next up, hit the ball sharply to
right, which was thought to be a sure
hit, but Charlie Reeves got in front
OF the bali and caught it. He threw
1t on a line to. Crane at second and
he doubled Wise off second by a mile.
Parish started for the winners, but he
was shy of control and was yanked.
He is fast gaining control and before
the season is over he should turn in
some good pitching for Troop TX. Ka-
lama relieved him in the second and
pitched good bali for two innings,
when he suddenly tired and the boys
with the yellow neckerchiefs scored
at will on him, Walter Dover relieved
Kalama and held the FLYERS down for
the rest of the game He had them
scared stiff with his speed at first
and they surely showed it, but at the
end two 'of the losers fell on his Of
ferings for two-base hits and they
secured about two singles, but he
frightened up in the pinches. Troop
TX hit better than their rivals, but
Troop V fielded much better than the

more than anything else to make an

tightly to the ankle itself, and its
very thinness makes the ankle

FIND STOLEN GOODS
AT BROWNS Home
Clue May Solve Mystery as to
Who Burned Fitch's Store
Early Last Spring

A search warrant was pro-
cured last Friday and Con-
stable Troy Barber made a
thorough search of the prem
ises at the residence of Henry
Brown, who is now in jail at
BatesVille.
It has been suspected for
some time that Brown had
some connection with the rob-
bing Of Nelson Fitch's store,
north of town, when it was
burned about a year ago.
In order to throw some light
upon the situation, his prem
ises were searched to see if
any of the stolen goods could
be found.
Quite a lot of dry goods and
other articles of merchandise
were found, which were iden-
titled by Mr.. Fitch and his
wife as stuff that came from
their store.
Mr.. Fitch is very positive
in his Identification of the
goods and says there is no
question but that the stuff was
taken from his store.

IRON MOUNTAIN ROAD
Is SOLD AT AUCTION
Mo. P.and I'm. Formerly Own
ed by Goulds Bought by
New York Bankers

The Missouri-Pa cific railroad
and the St. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southernrailroad were
sold under foreclosure in st.
Louis Wednesday to R. H. Neil
son and Duncan A. Holmes of
New York. Mr.. Nelson repre-
sented the Reorganization Com
mittee and Mr.. Holmes repre-
sented Kunh, Loeb & Co., re-
organization managers.
The sale to the Kuhn &
Loeb representatives, it was
said marked the passing of the
Gould interests from control of
the Missouri Pacific system.
The Kansas and Colorado Pa
cific will be sold at foreclosure
at Topeka, Kan, next Friday,
presumably to representatives
of the same banking firm. The
three roads then will be form
ed into a single corporation,
which will operate all the Mis-
souri, Pacific lines.
While the lines have been
operated as one system for sew
eral years, the Missouri Pacific
and the Iron Mountain had sep
arate directors and kept sep
arate accounts. By owning a
large block of the Iron Noun
tain stock, however, the Mis-
souri, Pacific controlled the
road.
The Missouri Pacific was
sold for $16,150,000, and the
Iron Mountain soldforS23, $780,
600. It is said that there will be
but little changes made in the
management of the roads ex-
cept that all three will be
placed under the management
of one board of directors.

GOOD ROADS BILL is
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Provides Appropriation to Meet
Federal Funds for Road
Building in Arkansas

The Federal road building
enabling act, providing for
State aid in conjunction with
Federal aid for the construction
of State roads in Arkansas, was
passed by the Senate Friday
with but four opposing votes,
and was signed by Gov. Brough
Monday.
The bill appropriates 1885,
900 from funds derived from
automobile licenses, which will
be used with a similar sum APP
propriated by the Federal gov
ernmena, in construction of
good roads in Arkansas.
The bill passed is a House
bill, an exact copy of Senate
bill recently passed by the up
per house.
There was not much OPPOSE
ton to the measure. Senator
Cabaniss of Howard county
spoke at length against the
measure, and Senator Ruff
made a short talk against it.
Senator Smith and Senator
Caldwell spoke in behalf of the
measure, Senator Caldwell de-
elared that, while he favored
the return of automobile h.
cense money to the county in
which the automobiles were
taxed, he favored the bill be-
cause it presented about the
only method left to the State
for raising the desired sum so
that the Federal aid could be
secured.
Federal aid will be given on
~ when the State appropriated
a sum equal to that appropria-
ted by the Federal government,
which is approximately a half
million dollars for the next two
years. The automobile license
money will furnish the neces-
sary money for the States part,
and will also maintain the State
highway department. Both the
State and the government re-
serve the right to pass on road
improvements in any section
of the State where State and
Federal aid is given.

PEOPLE TO VOTE ON
MOVING UNIVERSITY
Bill For Removal to Little Rock
Will be Submitted to
The People

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-An
amendment to the Alexander
Edmondson bill, which provid-
es for the removal of the Uni
yersity of Arkansas from Fay
etteville to Little Rock has been
agreed upon by the Little Rock
Board of Commerce committee
working with the two senator's,
which would provide for a re-
ferendum vote.
The amendment reads as
follows:
This act shall be submitted
to the vote of the people at the
next general election in the
same manner that acts are re-
ferred to the people under the
referendum, and all laws re-
lating to submission of acts to
the people under the referen-
dumdum shall govern and APP
ply thereto, and this act shall
not be in force and effect un-
less and until it is approved by
a majority of those voting on
such question. "
j. r. Vinson, chairman of the
Little Rock Citizens Committee,
working for the removal of the
University, gave out the fol-
lowing statement.
"The object of adding this
amendment to the Alexander
Edmondson bill is to make a
matter for the people to decide
whether they want the univer-
sity in Little Rock or whether
they want it in Fayetteville.
There has been some i'm
preston that this is a scheme
furthered by Little Rock. We
wish to say emphatically that
1t is not furthered by Little
Rock as a local benefit meas
ure.
eff the people of the whole
state want It here, then we are
willing to do what we think
consistent with the dignity and
Importance of Little Rock to
get it here. That is, we will give
to the State one million dollars
by which the removal can be
accomplished without loss to
the State government.
"In the Democratic State
Convention of 1916, J.V.Walk-
er of Fayetteville, in his key
note address, said Lets set
tie the university question, once
and for all. Let's let the people
settle it. Let's get that out of
the way"
1--WE added this referendum
clause with that in mind. We
propose to let the people settle
it. If they want the university
in Little Rock, all right; if they
don't Little Rock will never try
to load it on a flat car and
bring it down here"
