NOT GUILTY OF DRIVING
ACROSS THE SIDEWALK
Jury Hears Evidence Against Former
Milkman and Clears Him
of Charge.

The first jury trial at the present
term of circuit court was that of the
city of Mena against James Pegram,
former milkman. After hearing the
evidence the jury returned verdict
of not guilty.
The case had been appealed from
the justice court where Pegram had
been found guilty of driving across a
sidewalk. He appealed and before
the higher tribunal showed where
others had also used the sidewalk as
a crossing.
Judge Lake ordered a dismissal of
the charges preferred by Addie B.
Tullos and BeElah Tullos against
George w. Petty Jr.
The court also ordered a dismissal
in the case of Miller VS.. Kirkland.
Tuesdays session was largely Civ
en- over to a hearing of evidence in
the case of the Shawnee Milling COM
pany against the T. M. Dover Mercan-
tile company Of Hatfield. The trial
was before a jury. and the cause Of
contention was the sale of a carload
of flour to the Dover company, which
order was later cancelled and which
resulted in the Shawnee company
suffering q loss of $3.50.

There was a perceptible bend in the
canes carried by two auctioneers
down Mena street Tuesday morning.
These deviations from a straight line
are said to have been caused by the
bearers leaning so heavily upon the
canes when they ended a long hike
the day previously According TO the
latest reports Coils. Latimer and NAL
icoat started for the sale at B. G..
Anderson's near Yocana, Monday and
suffered a breakdown in the car.
Rather than miss the sale they fin
ished the journey on foot They had
a good sale and then walked home.
Neither Col. Latimer nor Col. Mali
coat claim they can walk as well as
they can talk, but if all reports are
correct they made Weston ashamed of
himself on the walk back to Mena.
Neither of the auctioneers would fess
up how much footease was used when
they got back home.

French Deputy Says Imperialistic Or

Paris, Nov. 17-Dcputy Maurice
Barres warns the allies they must
secure guarantees now so that Ger
many will not be able soon to break
the peace of Europe. In the Echo de
Paris he writes:
Germany tries to move us to pity
and show that without food she will
sink into Bolshevism and anarchy.
Nevertheless the old imperialistic or
der still stands. The minority and
the bourgeoise are in agreement so
the nation is still united and disci-
plined and eager again to take up the
economic task. Unless we obtain all
the guarantees necessary, Germany
will again be formidable tomorrow
and still eager to invade u.s."
