CAPTAIN WOODS
 RELATES EXPERIENCES.

Captain John T. Woods, formerly ot Izard county, was here Wednesday night on his way to Melbourne to vis- it his parents for some time. At his hotel here he was the center of at traction for large number of friends who had known him person. ally for several years. Captain Woods is young man of unusual ln- telligence and after graduating at the first officers training camp at Fort Roots was sent to France, where he made a splendid record. He IS an attorney of Fort Smith and a grand son of the late Judge R. H. Powell ot Batesyille.
 Captain Woods said that in one battle he led his men into the thick est of the fight and after it was all over he was mortified to find not man in his company had been left, all of them either being killed or wound ed. He organized another company only to have them go as the others. Thus while the battle ragged, he or ganized three companies only to find each one wiped out. During the last fight he was seriously wounded him. self in the intestines, but fought one hour after he was shot before he was carried to the hospital. Upon arriv- ing at the hospital he was given or ders by the surgeon to make final ar engagements for his next command, as his hours were numbered. Captain Woods was brought across on cot on hospital ship, and is still very weak but says he is going to get we'll

LONE BANDIT ROBS
 BONNEVILLE BANK.

Bonneville, Jan. 16.-- A posse headed by Deputy Sheriff E. w. Mar tin tonight is in the weeds ten miles south of here, hot on the trail of the lone bandit who walked into the Bank of Bonneville at noon today, held up the cashier and walked away with $1,80O in currency. It IS believed that he will be captured in few hours, although it is difficult to fol- low his trail through the mountains.
 Cashier L. l.. Green was alone in the bank when the robber walked in with blue toboggan cap pulled low over his face, presented a revolver and demanded all the money on hand. While Green was putting the money in the sack, patron of the bank walked in and was covered. The rob- Der then ordered both into the vault, also Joe Barlow, the assistant cash fer, who came into the bank later.
 The robber did not do a good job of locking the vaut door, and the three imprisoned men escaped in a few minutes and gave the alarm. Later it was learned that the robber had discarded his old suit of overalls and left them in haystack a mile from town. Some of the men who returned tonight said that the sher- ifs posse was still trailing the bandit ten miles from town.
 The banks cash has not been checked up, but it is estimated that the robber secured about $1,800. He left all the silver and overlooked $1.- 900 in currency. The bank is in- sured.
 Cashier Green described the man as being about five feet nine inches tall, rather heavy but slender. At the time he entered the bank he wore yellow overalls.

LETTER FROM COMPANY E BOY.

The following letter from Private Thomas E. Mross, one of our noble Company E boys, who is now in Ger many, written to his parents, will no doubt be read with interest by his friends. In fact the entire county is interested in these boys and always read with interest the letters handed us for publication.
 Bullay, Germany, Dec. 12, 1918. Mir. and Mrs. J. M. Mross,
 Newport, Arkansas.
 Dear Parents and Sweet Little Sis ter: Well, I wonder how you all are getting along. Fine, I hope. Here l am in Germany, and have been on a hike for the past few days-10 or 12 days I believe. Anyhow I know we have been doing some walking and are not near our destination yet.
 I have seen some great sights and some of the tallest and most wonder full mountains one could imagine, and they presented great sight to me. l do not know when we will start back toward home, as some say it will be soon, others a great while yet. But one can never tell just what is going to take place in the army. l am hop ing however, that it will be right away as I have seen all of France and Germany I care to see. The paper and envelope I am using is German material. I bought it today out of a German store and it cost one mark. A mark in American money IS about 24 cents. I got 5 sheets of paper and 5 envelopes. I am enclosing Ger man stamp for you to keep. bought some cigars and they gave me the stamp as change. l don't know what it is worth about two cents l sup nose. Cigars are for mark, or 24c and they are the cheapest you can buy. Can't buy anything to eat In the way of candy, apples or cakes, neither sugar, as you seldom see any. You have to get in large towns to get su- gar and in Luxemburg I paid franks Q.O0) for one-half pound of what was supposed to be candy. One small bar of toilet soap cost Sl.25. 1 don't think I can ever send any money home, as I need little along, but will bring all can.
 I was so sorry to learn of Fred Suits death.
 I will write every chance l get and I hope it won't be long until we can talk face to face with each other Take good care of yourselves until l pet there. I will close this time by wishing you merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Special to Independent.

OpSNidl lO
 Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Instead of eight members of the General Assem- bly, making a tour of inspection to the state institutions, the committees this session will be composed of five members, unless the house refuses to stand for the reduction.
 In the senate Thursday a house resolution was read providing for eight members on the university in- spection committee. This was re duced by resolution by Senator Col lins to three from the house and two from the senate.
 Former prosecuting attorneys are numerous in the senate and their presence is being noticed in the many bills which are being offered to change the penal code. Two such bills were passed by the senate on Thursday, one by Senator Utley making false testimony misdemean- or, and the other, by Senator Evans, making the penalty for forgery both greater and smaller.
 In the false swearing bill, the au- thor, former prosecutor, declared that it has always been difficult to prosecute with success an indictment for perjury on account of the heavy penalty. He stated that smaller offense would bring lesser penalty and at the same time be accompanied with all the odium of the conviction for a major offense.
 The argument on the forgery bill was about the same. The author pointed out where there were many cases in which the offender would have been convicted had it been only a few months to the jail sentence. The old penalty is from one to seven years. The Evans bill makes it from one month to ten years.
 Persistent in their efforts to se- cure a return of the money advanced to defray the expenses of maintaining the Arkansas building at the Panama Pacific exposition, commissioners and business men who made the display there possible, have introduced bill in the senate carrying an approprla- tion for $23,300 for their relief. There seems to be much more sentl- ment in favor of the passage of this bill than in any of the previous ses- sions.
 Another record has been made by the senate in the passage of four teen bills on the third working day of the session. Ten of these were To- cal bills, but four had to be consld- cred by a committee and shorter lime for their consideration would have been impossible. The four bills of general nature were two to change the penalties for forgery and raise swearing. and the other changed the system of filing of sheriff's and col lector's bonds by making the attorney general and auditor pass upon them instead of the county judge and dis trict judge. The collector must also give a bond for one and a half times the amount of the funds he will handle, as shown by the assessment. Another bill extends to the rural school districts the
