| machine gun through the doors OF
buildings at the huddled enemy within.
AT one time his machine actually
touched the ground.
Leaving the airdrome. the British
aviator attacked two German mounted
officers and put them to flight. A little
later he encountered a column of 200
troops and swept ;.lone the line. with
his gun working steadily. The entire
column was dispersed and fled by devil
Gus ways to cover. leaving numbers Of
their comrades lying in :he road.

AMI ACCOUNTS FOR BOTH
Two German battle planes appeared
on the scene. and the Briton engaged
them both. sending one TO earth and
putting the other TO flight. He pursued
the fleeing plane. but 1t was soon lost
in the clouds.
In the meantime, a large body OF
German soldiers had gathered around
the machine which had been brought
down. The British Lying man came

Numerous instances are related OF
pilots charging the antiaircraft gun

si!encing the guns.
Pistol duels between tho British avi-

not uncommon occurrences. In one in

GALE HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES.

Because of so many cases of measles the high school at Gale closed Friday March 9. Prof Erwin and Miss Gut try left Friday afternoon for their respective homes, having been with us six months and having taught one of the most successful schools in the his tory of Gale high school.
 To show their appreciation of these up-to-date teachers, the board of di- rectors employed both of them for another year, giving each a raise in salary.
 So with the same teachers another year and possibly others, we expect to have a school at Gale that will be a credit to our county and state.

M. P. SAFETY FIRST LEG
 TURERS HERE TOMORROW

Messrs. o. F. Ellington, Harry Will Hams, Joe Flynn and probably others of Little Rock, will be in Prescott to- morrow and will lecture at the high school and grammar school in the afternoon at 2:30 and at the court house at 7:3O. Their subject will be the modern Safety First" methods employed by the Missouri Pacific sys- tenn for the prevention of accidents. The lectures are free and everyone. especially parents and their children, are invited.
 Harry Williams, one of the speak CTS, IS in position to give some intr- esting information on this subject as he has been engineer on this road for the past thirty years, and his talk will be especially worth hearing, The other speakers are old employees of the Missouri Pacific and will give some sound warnings which should be heard by everyone.
 Through the Safety First" meth ods which practically all the railroads of the country are adopting, hundreds of lives are probably saved each year in the United States and thousands of accidents are averted, because of the fact that the people are being educat- ed to necessity of being more careful in crossing tracks, alighting and boarding trains, etc.
 Bring the family to the lectures at the court house tomorrow night at .7:30.

J. w. ELLIS LETTER.

To the Editor of the Gazette:
 l see your correspondent, Minnie U. Rutherford-Fuller, says that the ex- pulsion of Senators Burgess and Sims is the first instance in the history of Arkansas that member of the Gen eral Assembly was expelled. It may be true, so far as the Senate is coh- serned, but the speaker of the house, John Wilson of Clark, was expelled for the killing of J. J. Antony of Ran dolph county on December 4, 1887. This bloody affair occurred in the old Senate chamber in the old statehouse, which was then the Hall of Represen- tatives. The house was in session and Wilson was the speaker in the chair, when Antony, the gentleman from Randolph, made some reference to Wilson in his talk on the wolf scalp bill, which the speaker resented and commanded the gentleman from Ran doiph to take his seat, which Antony declined to do. Then" replied the speaker, "I will make you do it." Suit ing his actions to his words, he ad- vanced up the aisle toward Antony, who stood his ground. Gen. Grandi- son D. Royston from Hampstead coun- ty was sitting in a chair in the aisle and, seeing that Wilson and Antony were going to fight, arose and thrust the chair between the two, in a vain effort to prevent bloodshed. As Will son advanced he drew a bowie knife and so did Antony. Soon in the battle which ensued Wilson's right hand was nearly cut off and, changing his knife into his left hand, he thrust his right shoulder under the chair and with his left hand drove the keen steel into Antony, whereupon he sank to the floor and died almost instantly. This got from hearing General Royston relate the circumstances to my father when I was boy 14 years old. Gen. eral Royston was elected speaker i'm after Wilson went to his nome after he recovered from his l wounds, stood his trial and soon after sold his holdings in Clark county and l moved to Texas, where he died at an | advanced age. Wilson was man of | education and a popular citizen, of | inc physical and moral courage ,rave as Caesar and kind to his neigh | DOTS. He was a citizen of Hampstead | ounty for many years before he moved to Clark county and stood as we'll as any man in the county. It vas said that Antony made some dis ,araging remarks about Wilson, which on the fight to the finish. Res 'ectfully. JAMES W. ELLIS,

From 10000 to $4,000 Men Will
Learn Rudiments of Fighting at
Cockade City.

Secretary Of War Baker yeseer-
day afternoon announced that uror
reconsideration, he had again approx
ed of Petersburg, Va, as the site Of
one of the sixteen national army con-
tonments.
The announcement from the sec
rotary with regard to Petersburg
concludes a campaign Of more than a
month for the location Of camp
at that point. Last Saturday the
formal announcement came OF
Petersburg's selection. On MonG&y
an order was issued revoking the
designation, upon the ground that the
Du Po,.is, at Hopewell, had protested.
This resulted in vigorous re-
newal of the fight, which was car
ried by Petersburg committee re-
enforced by Senators Martin and
Swanson. and Representatives Wat
son and Glass, straight to Secretary
Baker. The latter summoned General
Bell to Washington today anu, fol-
lowing conference between them,
Petersburg again was selected for a
camp site.
From 10000 to 10000 men Will be
trained at Petersburg. This means
that by September there VIII grow
uD in the heart of the State a new
city greater in population than any
in Virginia except Richmond and
Norfolk. 1t means that millions OF
dollars a month will ps expended IN
the markets of the State, and that
hundreds of thousands more viii be
left there by the officers and men.
How long the camp is to remain
is q question that canno- now be
answered. Certainly it will remain
for the period of the war.
