PROMINENT NENA MIN FACE CHARGES
n, C. Cochran and W. M. Patrick Aeeused of Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses--Denial Entered
 by Doctor-Gaye Bond.

Charges made against two of the hest known citizens of Mena and the s1bseauent arrest of one, caused no rttle excitement among their ac- u,a;ntances Thursday afternoon. The n,en accused are Dr. c. Cochran and " M Patrick, and they are charged w;th obtaining money under false pre- .onses Dr. Cochran was arrested and cave bond for his appearance Febru- arv l9, before. Justice s. H. Smith.
 Mir. Patrick, who has been in Okla bonaa for some time is reported to have recently suffered dislocated shoulder and is unable to come to Mena and face his accusers.
 Dr cochran denies there has been any wrong doing on his part and nror,ises to make vigorous and spir- ited reply to the charge when the nroner rs time comes. He supplied the s1 60O bond required for his Appear ance in court.
 Iaformation against the two men mas flied by Deputy Prosecuting At tornev B. J. Stuart, following an in vestieation made by other parties sometime ago. The complaining wit ness is B. T. Stubb of Brick, Ok, who was in Mena Thursday to press the charges against the two Mena resi- dents. According to the evidence sub ,nitted to the the authorities by MT St1bbs he took in payment for resi- dence property he owned on Tenth street. a lein note for $500 given on BOO acres of land in Scott county. He claims that Dr. Cochran arranged the exchange and asserts he paid $1OO commission for the deal.
 The note in question is one that Pat rick is said to have secured and the complaining witness asserts the note ;s worthless. Stubbs claims that both Patrick and Dr. Cochran knew this at the time the note was given him in ex- change for his real estate.

MAKES GOOD POINT.
B. II. Williams Thinks Mena Should
 Not Vote on Hog Law Issue.

R H. Williams Thinks Mena Should Not Vote on Hog Law Issue. To the Editor of The Star.
 have just noticed that bill for an act to make four wire fence law full fence for Polk county has passed the House of Representatives.
 It is my opinion that the act should not become law. A four wire fence } is alright for a county where most of the land is in cultivation, but in a county where so much of the land is not in cultivation and has so much good range, l do not believe that a four wire fence should be lawful fence.
 k understand that our honorable 3 representative who introduced the bill, k contends that majority of the cleo z tors of the county approved this meas ure at the last general election, but l 4 do not agree with this contention. It S is true that there was printed on the *ballot, "For Hog Law" and Against $ a Hog Law" but I have been unable q to find anyone who knew by what au- 8thority this was on the ballot. There z was no discussion of the matter, and livery few knew that this was on the Sticket until they went to vote.
 # Furthermore, it occurs to me that 8t the people of the city of Mena do not xcare to, and should not have, voice Hin determining what shall be lawful
 Hence for Polk county. The people of 1.-the city of Mena have their ordinance &prohibiting hogs from running at zlarge within the city limits, and are Snot concerned with what shall consti- ztute a lawful fence turnout the coun- 8ty. In all fairness, the bill should be #amended to provide that the act shall #be submitted at the next general state &election to the electors voting at all #precincts outside the city of Mena,
 and shall not become effective unless
 a majority of those voting upon the
 Question vote in favor of 1t. # l trust that those who agree with
 rne on this proposition will either by Better or petition, request Senator Ben
 Johnston to have the bill amended Tn
 the Senate as herein stated.
 Very respectfully yours,

MENA YOUNG FLOODS GET
 TIP ON POSSIBLE DANGER
Attractive and Mysterious Stranger Said to Be on Looking for vio-
 lators of Prohi Law.


 Some of Mena's young bloods are considerably perturbed over the ap- pearance in the city of a mysterious stranger, reported to be of the restless sex and with face and form not at all hard on the eyes. The M. s. is also said to be young and possessed of certain charm that appeals. to the youthful emulators of Don Juan. Now the disturbing element of the unknown young lady's visit in Mena is due to a rumor that she is a sort of feminine sleuth, in the employ of the prohi en- forcement forces, and that her chief aim and purpose in Mena is to get some of the unlucky sports connected with the proper amount of hooch and then cause a pinch. It is said that she worked the same crafty game recently at Fort Smith and caused all sorts of trouble for some of the sports. A Mena man who was in at- tendance at the recent term of circuit court is authority off the asseytion he saw the same woman in Fort Smith and that she had a long string of suckers before Judge Youmans.

SECOND OLDEST HAYNES

significance of the event dawned on
the spectators. For this same Haynes
car, twenty-four years ago, threaded
its more or less uncertain way over
the same streets, and undoubtedly
caused as much commotion then as
it did yesterday.
1t was a great sight. The old au-

TIDE in AUTO
TRADE TURNED
Nash Motors Official Says
Return to Healthy
State Apparent.

1T would appear from indications
brought out at the important auto
Mobile shows held so far this year,
that the tide has turned" says
Charles B. Foorhis, vice president
and general sales manager of the
Nash Motors Company. "Forty-nine
Nash passenger cars were sold at
retail during the Chicago show,
which closed last week and in the
two days following the show seven
more cars were sold.
Il am citing this merely to IL
lustrate my point and incidentally
I might add that this was the great
est number of Nash automobiles
ever sold at retail during a Chicago
show and the record there follows
closely similar successful weeks at
the New York, Cleveland, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Milwaukee
shows. Other leading manufsctur-
ers also reported excellent success
in New York, Chicago and at the
other large eEpositions held so far
this year.
This does not necessarily mean
that the country may face a general
shortage of automobiles this COM
ing spring, nor does it mean that
business in one bound, has como
back to normal. 1t does indicate,
however, that conditions throughout
the country are showing improve
ment and that when spring rolls
around there will be a healthy auto
mobile market.
In the past the annual automo-
bile shows have proved an excellent
barometer and the facts presented
this year are therefore extremely
encouraging. Not only were sales
equal to figures of last year and in
some instances even better than
last year. but attendance records
Of the various shows point out that
the public visited these expositions
in larger numbers than ever before.
In view of these things 1 believe
il is safe to assume that a gradual
return to a healthy business condi-
tion is distinctly apparent"
