Paris. Nov. 16.-The defeat Of Cen

eve will never give up the struggle
against bolshevism," he said. There
are other ways besides the use Of
arms and munitions in which the boil
shevists can be put down, and per
haps the fight will continue along
bloodless strife"
General Wrangel's third army is
still intact in the Ukraine, Basile
Maklakoff explained, and this could
form the basis of new military
movement. No decision will be made
by the leaders of the anti-bolshevist
movement until General Wrangel
reaches Constantinople and careful
survey of the situation is made, he
declared
M. Maklakoff declared the attitude
of the Russian peasants was daily be-
coming more actively antagonistic to
bolshevism, giving much encourage
ment to those waging war against the
sOyiets.

MRS. M'ClFLLAND'S
SHIP COMES IN
Woman Well Known in Mena and Polk
County Receives Word That She
Has Won in Litigation Over Val
liable Miami. Ok, Mine

Mrs. Theresa McClelland of Wickes
was in Mena Monday en- route to Ok
lahoma City to visit her sons, and
while here related what she well
classifies as ''fairy story" but one
that in her case means something
very substantial
Three years ago, while attending to
business in the office of the county
clerk of Ottawa county, Oklahoma,
Mrs. McClelland took an opportunity
to buy a one-eighth interest in a
mining lease in the Miami territory,
paying therefore $125. The property
was at that time in litigation and the
investment was considerable of a
gamble During the past three years
the litigation has been carried on thru
the courts and now Mrs. McClelland
has. received notice that the conten-
tidH has been passed on by the u. S.
supreme court, which rendered a de-
cision in. her favor. As she was of
fered $4,000 for her share when the
case had passed the state supreme
court, she feels now that her "ship has
come in
A mill has been ia operation on the
property for three years, and another
win be in operation within six
months. Proceedings have beer
started to collect the royalty from the
mill that has been operating.
While Mrs. McClelland contem-
plates going back to Oklahoma, she
expects to build modern bungalow
on her ranch near Wickes. She also
will develop mining interests she has
in Polk county.

Another possum has been captured

previous the doctor found where one

ELAINE RIOTERS
GET No mercy
Governor Brough Says Will Fix Date
of Execution of Blacks Whea
Mandates Come From United
States Attorney General.

Little Rock, Nov. l6.-All hope for
the Elaine rioters is gone. Late Mon
day evening Governor Brough an
nounced that he would not interfere
in the cases of Frank Hicks, Ed Hicks,
Frank Moore, J. e. Knox, f. Cole
man and Paul Hill, but that he would
fix the date for their execution inn
mediately upon the receipt of the
mandate from the Supreme Court of
the United States.
These men, with six others, were
convicted in November, 1919. in the
Phillips county Circuit Court and SEN
fenced to death. After having been
reviewed by the Arkansas Supreme
Court, the sentences were affirmed
March 20, 1920, and the eases were
then carried to the United States Su-
preme Court on a writ Of certioraFi.
The Supreme Court of the United
States denied a review. The governor
has requested the attorney general of
Arkansas to wire the attorney general
of the United States at once for the
mandates, and as soon as they are re-
ceived the date of execution will be
fixed.
The cases of the six other negroes
convicted of the same offense are
pending on appeal in the Arkansas
Supreme Court.
Governor Brough said that he had
reached the definite conclusion after
months of investigation and delibera-
tion that the negroes are guilty Of
murder in the first degree and the SEN
tences should not be commuted. He
said that in his opinion the people of
Phillips county had exercised greater
restraint than any community within
his knowledge had ever exercised un-
der similar circumstances. A prom
Use had been made to the people of
Phillips county that the law would be
enforced and that no outside influence
would be permitted to interfere with
its due enforcement.
II am not unaware" said the gov
ernor, ''that the facts connected with
the Elaine insurrection have been
niisrepresented by certain sections of
the northern press and that my action
at this time will probably be subjected
to similar criticism. But, this fact
should not deter me from seeing to it
that the law is carried out as adj
Judged by the courts for it is my be-
lief that the cause of law enforce
ment and maintenance of law and or
der can be served only by strict
compliance with the law. While have
exercised executive clemency as far
as possible. consonapt with my sense
OF justice, very careful review of
these particular cases extending over
several months has convinced me that
there is no possible ground on which
could base executive clemency."

VICTORY MEDALS AWAIT MANY
THOUSANDS IN ARKANSAS
Thousands in Arkansas Have Not APP
piled for Mementoes.

Little Rock, Nov. 16.-There are
thousands of ex-service men in Ar
kansas who have not made application
for the Victory medals which have
been issued by the war department.
Governor Brough has issued pro-
clamation to the effect that over A.
100000 Victory medals are due the
men and women of the country for
their participation in the world war,
but up to November 3, 1920, only 516,-
344 had been applied for. Of these
there are $4,000 due the men and
women of Arkansas, but only $500
have made application for them. These
medals cost nothing, but are valued
memento of the war which those en-
titled to own might well be proud to
pass on to posterity. Application
blanks for the Victory medal can be
obtained from any U. S. Army Re-
cruiting officer, from the officers of
the local post of the American Legion
or from executive secretary of Little
Rock.
