AS we understand it it is not the
intention of the board to force
the oiling onto those who are
to it. If a majority of
the resident property owners in
either district present a properly
drawn remonstrance to the board
the oiling will not be done,
otherwise the work will be done
just as soon as the streets can
be got in condition for the oil.

ACCUSED BANK ROBBER
 DENIES AUTO THEFT
George Martin, Brought to Mena, As serts Claims of Des Arc Sheriff
 Are Not True.


 Deputy Sheriff Allie Duncan reached Mena Saturday morning with George Martin in custody. Martin is wanted for alleged complicity in the robbery of the bank at Vandervoort in 1918. The prisoner, who is now in safekeep- ing of Sheriff Thornton at the county jail, was arrested at Des Arc, taken to Little Rock, and would have been talk en back to Paducah, Ky, had not Sheriff Thornton put in claim that held up the requisition, and changed Martins address to Mena.
 Deputy Sheriff Duncan had hard time getting his prisoner. The Ken lucky officers wanted Martin for an all legged auto theft, and Sheriff Purvis of Des Arc apparently didn't want Martin to leave until he secured a re- ward of some sort.
 Martin brought to Mena a clipping from the Arkansas Gazette giving an account of his capture that the pris- oner says is all wrong, and which he desires to correct. The article in ques- ton quotes Sheriff V. 0. Purvis as stating he found some T. N. r. and lnitroglycerin, both high powered ex- plosives, some burglar tools and re- volyer in the car from which Martin and companion were arrested. The sheriff is further quoted as saving that i Martin intimated that bank at Des Arc might be" robbed, and the off, cial goes on further to take credit for preventing a bank. robbery by the ar rest of Martin. The sheriff's interview is plainly intended to show that Mar tin is bold, bad man.
 In statement to Star representa- l tive Saturday morning Martin em- phatically denied that there was any explosive or burglar tools in the car which he is accused of stealing. Mar tin states that he was not arrested in the car. but while he waited for a train. The man with whom he had been riding, one Mckay, was only a chance acquaintance, and Martin de- clares if the ear was stolen at all, Me- Kay, and not himself, did it. The
 prisoner further asserts he had no in tention of robbing the Des Arc bank, denies that he carried revolver, and
 says that he has no intention of run ming away. He reiterated a former
 statement that he never robbed the bank at Vandervoort, but having been
 surrendered by one of his bondsmen, says i've might as we'll have it over with" meaning a trial.
 i, The robbery of the bank of Wander
 voort occurred on November t4. 1913
 Martin was never connected up with the actual robbery of the bank. but is said to have been found at Little Rock trying to sell some of the Liberty bonds stolen from the vandervoort Institution. The robbers carried away
 about $S.000 in bonds. only small
 portion of which were ever recovered
