THREE JUSTICES IN CASE. One Was Attorney, Another Defend ant and Third One Fixed Penalty.

Three justices of the peace were in- volved in a suit Monday morning in Justice l.. N. Burnett's court. Jus tice F. A. Lee of Vandervoort was the defendant and Justice Sam Smith was the counsel for the defense. Justice Burnett, however, overlooked the pleas for professional leniency and despite Justice Smiths most persuasive elo- quence fined Justice Lee S10 and costs. Justice Lee was charged with smacking John H, Scott, a piano tuner, in the eye, during dispute at Vandervoort. He did not deny the charge and the plaintiffs colored optic was the best sort of eyewitness to the effect of the blow. Scott himself was accused of breach of peace and had been tried before Justice Smith shortly before Justice Lee was tried in Justice Burnetts court. Scott was fined S5. Justice Lee also filed a charge of islander against Scott, which will be heard Friday before Justice Smith.

 Receives Painful Hurts.

According to the meagre details that have been received in Mena, A. A. Zachary performed heroic act at Miles, Tex, last week, but received painful injuries which have kept him from his business affairs. Mir. Zach ary's act saved the city of Miles from possible confiagration, due to the ex- cessive dryness of that section, but it cost him dearly. A burning gasoline stove was endanEeTirg building ali Miles when Mir. Zachary grabbed t and carried it out of doors to prevent the destruction of the building. In doing this the blazing oil poured over the Mena mans hands and arms, burn. ing them so badly he has been unable to help himself since. The news of the arcident was purposely kept from
 his family in Mena, Mrs. Zachary not learning of it until Sunday. Should MT. Zachary not be improved she plans to go to Miles to be with hin.

THIS IS FINE BERRY PATCH.
Block of Ground in Eureka Addition
 Put to Good Use--More to Come.

Block of Ground in Eureka Addition Put to Good Use--More to Come.
 On Block 2S, Eureka Addition to the city of Mena, located adjoining the White Oak cemetery on the east, is patch of five acres of strawberries that will measure up in stand, thrifti- ness and thoroness of cultivation with any other patch in Polk county, or elsewhere for that matter.
 The plants were set out early last spring under the direction of James Pegram, who at that time owned the block. Soon after the patch was start ed, a deal was made with Mark D. Elledge to take charge of the patch on a share basis. Mir. Elledge came to Mena from Horatio, where he had opportunity for practical experience as well as to note the experience of others. When he started in the straw berry culture in Mena, he was told that he would be expected to set the pace, and that folks would look to him to demonstrate what could be done in Polk county. The patch is now ready for the final cultivation, and as this is being done Mir. Elledge is sowing cowpeas between the rows with the dual purpose of enriching the soil and forming mulch for the plants.
 During this summer F. W. T0mlin- son became interested in this project by becoming the owner of Block 26, and now he is backing Mir. Elledge in all that he does. Cowpeas are now being sown on some of the land to build it up for strawberry planting next springs. Blackberries have been added to the small fruit acreage, and raspberries are to be added next spring. In addition to that Mir. and Mrs. Tomlinson are planning to build a suburban home on this tract, spot for the home having been reserved in the corner of the strawberry patch.
