~------------- Y f-- ROMANCE IN WEDDING

A wounded soldier in a hospital and pretty girl visitor are chief charac- ters in romance that began at Wash ington, D. c. eliminated in wedding at Board Camp. Duff o. Hilton. one of Polk county's best known young men and Miss Beulah A. James of Wash ington, D. c. were the participants, the young bride travelling half way across the continent to wed her sol dier. The young folks were married on April but managed to keep the affair secret until Wednesday when the license was returned to County Clerk Alexander. The ceremony was per formed by Justice R. B.

DOCS PLAY HAVOC
 WITH PEI DEER
Of Eight Fine Animals, Two Dead Two Terribly Injured, Two Missing Some May Be Saved-Much
 Indignation.

Blood hungry dogs played havoc with Mena's pretty herd of deer at Janssen park Thursday night and came near exterminating the entire lot. When morning came it was found that two deer were dead, two were badly wounded. and two were missing, leaving only a single pair still occu- pants of the park.
 Later one of the missing deer was captured in the west part of the city and returned to the enclosure. It was wounded but it is thought it will sur yive it's hurts The two animals found wounded in the park were attended by Dr. c. L. Baker, who expresses hope they can be saved but it is doubtful due to the terrible injuries receivd. One of the deer that escaped was tracked into the hills north of the city and is believed to have returned to the wilds.
 Custodian Pryor stated that the dogs entered the enclosure where the deer are kept by digging under the. wixe fence at point where the recent rains has started a little washout in tine earth
 Two dogs are believed to have made the murderous attack was evidently made near the midnight hour as it was about this time that residents of the neighborhood were aroused by the tumult the animals made in the deer park. By the time it was ascertained what was happening the murderous hounds had committed most of their deadly work. Persons who went to investigate scared the dogs away and one citizen took shot at one of the canines and while he believes he hit the animal no dead dog remained to prove it.
 The affair has caused considerable indignation among residents of the city who are opposed to keeping dogs within the city limits and it is proba- ble that for awhile at least canines of all kinds will be under suspicion.
 While no proof has been found as to what particular dogs committed the outrage, several are suspected and the city authorities will make every possible effort to locate and destroy the guilty ones.

GOV. BROUGH'S ACTION
 WAS MISINTERPRETED
Private Secretary Carter Writes Mena
 Woman That Executive Did Not Pardon Dealers.

In letter answering protest sent out by Mena ladies regarding Gov ernor Brough's action in cases where violation of the anti-cigarette law was involved, his private secretary states that the executive did not pardon the alleged violaters. The letter is as fol- lows:
 Replying to your letter of April |2, with remonstrance, which seems to have have issiissiiifitterrreted the account of the Governors action rela- tive to some cases at Philadelphia, where some men had sold cigarettes, wish to state that from your letter and the remonstrance, 1 am sure you have misinterpreted the Governors action.
 "As a matter of fact the Governor did not pardon these men outright. However, he did relieve them of ac- cumulative fines as they had been per mitted to sell cigarettes for years without prosecution and they were not put on notice that the law was to be enforced. He permitted one case to stand against the proprietors of each of the drug stores and, of course, they had the costs in all of the cases to pay, and it must have cost them something like $100 a piece.
 "If the Governor had relieved them of all the fines in all the cases, it would have been different thing, but he felt that since the enforcement of the law in this particular community was something new, that one fine and the costs in all the cases would be suf- ficient to put them on notice in the future, and they would be prosecuted if they continued to violate the law.

 Private Secretary"

 MAKING PINE TOP
Deputy Sheriffs Make Successful Raid Near Big Fork and Find Moon shine Outfit in Full
 Operation.

A moonshine outfit with the 'likker" cooking and the steam being distilled into genuine pine top, was one of the reward of raid made early Tuesday night near Big Fork by deputy sher- ifs acting under instructions of Sher- if J. A. Thornton Two prisoners were taken, along with a quantity of sugar, malt and other necessary in- gredients of illicit whiskey making.

Bur nett on charge of manufacturing liquor contrary to law The still has been destroyed and the sugar has been added to the collection of sweets growing out of previous raids against moonshiners, and now held by Sheriff Thornton awaiting disposition by the court.
 The raid was in charge of P. Reed, J. s. Hinson and Allie Duncan, who, acting under orders from the sheriff, made their way to the place where the stiii was supposed to be- They found it without difficulty for they report the fire was burning brightly and the steam was singing merrily thru the worm into the usual receptacle for re- ceiving brand new pine top.
 A much used trail led from the still to the home of Lester Mays and the officers followed this and at the house arrested the two men brought to Mena. A third member of the party is believed to have received a tip and made good his escape. The officers claim that the clothing of the prison CTS furnished proof they had been en- gagged at the still.
 Lester Mays, at whose home the still was found, was said to be work ing at saw mill some distance away. but his wife promised to get him word that he might come to Mena and ex- plain how the wiiskey maieers hap pened to be at his home. Upon his arr rival depends the preliminary hearing of the prisoners
 The worm of the still, good one of copper, was brought to Mena as evi- dence. The officers state that a bar rel of sprouted corn, with sprouts over an inch long was found, along with sugar and enough meal for mak- ing many gallons of meonshine.
 Lester Mays, near whose home the still was found, was arrested and fined in Mena few days ago for having liquor in his possession.

HELP HIGHWAYS THRU NEW PLAN
Colorado Man Wants Motorists to Each Give Day of Real Work to Re- pairing and Improving Roads
 No Patent on This Scheme.
CBy International News Service


 Denver, April 12.-"Rapid improve ment of Colorado's highways at no cost to the taxpayers is what Loren s. Albright, of this city, claims. if his unique suggestion is adopted.
 Albright submitted plan to local civic organizations and to. the State Highway Commissioner that he be- lieves will be of great benefit, espec- ially to motorists, and tremendously increase tourist travel in the Rockies.
 Albright's idea may be drowned upon by the more esthetic, but it would be fine for developing the muscles of automobile owners.
 His scheme is this
 On a specified date, preferably a Sunday in late Spring, after the wealth. CT has settled and the roads are in workable condition, each automobile driver take tools (rake. pick and shov- eD and improve some spot in the road over which he is travelling for given time say one hour '~
 Thus, if number of automobiles started OF the same road the first driver would take the first bad place noticed, the driver following would take the next, and so on down the line.
 While this might mean a slight traffic congestion in spots, it would be relieved quickly, as the first man to stop would finish first and proceed on his way; the second man to stop would follow, thereby all resuming their original positions in their jour. ney
 In case of bad piece of road where one man could not accomplish the re. pair within an hour, let two or three stop and assist him. Undoubtedly the State Supervisor of Roads would be glad to distribute his regular workmen in such manner that they could render valuable assistance in overseeing the operations of the embryo road build CTS.
 The tools necessary for this work are inexpensive and are found in the homes of nearly all automobile own CTS. The hours work would be good exercise for all and the results untold. It would result iii an education to everyone using a car; enable him to learn first hand what is necessary to construct and maintain decent high way, and would act as reminder to the fellow who uses a stone to block his wheels on a highway and then drives of and leaves the stone in the road
 Some opposition has developed to Albright's scheme on the ground that roadwork by so many inexperienced workers would result in giving the highways the appearance of crazy quilt

NOT ALL FRUIT KILLED
J. A. slote Reports Apples. Cherries
 and Small Fruits Safe.

James A. SIote of the Pines Planta- ton near Hatfield, than whom there is no better authority in horticulture in Polk county, while in Mena last Satur- day, reported that peaches on the Pines Plantation were practically all killed by the freeze on the night of April f. Some varieties of plums such as Wild Goose, Chiekasaw and Dam son, he says, were little injured, the same being true of apples. cherries, blackberries, dewberries and raspber- ries while he found that strawberries were damaged but he concluded there were enough latent buds to still make good crop. He reported also that it was his judgment that wild fruits would make a good crop, unless dam agde by late frosts.
