Accident NanoUlp ADened

A serious accident was narrowly averted yesterday afternoon at the corner of Front and Hazel streets, when several boys were riding on their sleds, which were tied to nov ing wagon. An automobile turning the corner at Hazel and First streets came near running over the lads, the driver failing to see the younsters at their play. Parents should caution their sons concerning this reckless practice on busy streets, as it is easy for an automobile driver to fail to see these sleds in time to check speed

UNLUCKY 13 |S
 100000 FOR EVA
Feminine Character With Couple of Aliases and 13 Pints of Booze
 Fined Heavily.

You may take it from Eva Swan son, alias Eva Bravicr, alias Eva Smith, feminine character of local fame and record, that No. 13 is as unlucky as it is reputed to be. Yes terday morning Eva alighted from Missouri Pacific passenger train No 5, looming up quite commodiously, thus exciting the curiosity of Night Officer Ben Sandmon. MT. Sand mon halted the progress of the much titled lady, and upon investigation found her wearing pair of patent trousers" or, that is, an undergar- ment equipped with numerous pock- cts, in. which were found thirteen pints of Poplar Bluff whiskey on de- posit. Besides this, the officer con- fiscated Eva's suit case, which yield ed seven pints of the contraband.
 Eva was taken before Mayor A. T.. Hubby, who fined her $500 and the trimmings, and now Eva is lan- gushing in jail, paying the price.
 The woman for some time has re- sided in house near the Newport ferry approach, and has local court record.

Fuel Administrator Announces that Closing Order Will be Rescinded
 at That Time.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found communication from Fuel Administrator Huguley, who an- nounces that the closing order, which has been in effect since Tuesday as a fuel saving measure, will be rescinded commencing Monday morning, when business in Newport may be resume it's usual aspect. This, however, will not effect the Arkansas Light & Power Company, which will continue to operate on the present schedule until further announcement.
 The administrator believes the fuel situation in Newport has been practi- cally remedied, there being plenty of coal in the city at present. How ever, talking to representative of this paper, he points out the fact that. we have another bad-weather month ahead of us, February. Per- sons should not let present good con- ditions to get the better of their Judgment. It yet remains necessary for everybody to conserve fuel in every way possible. Local conditions may be ever so splendid, yet there remains the fact that traffic con gestion throughout the country is still problem and probably will re- main so for weeks, rendering it i'm possible to make adequate shipments of coal from the mines to points of destination.
