ANOTHER RAID NEEDED
TO SINK OLD WARSHIP

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 2s--The final
attack upon the old battleship Ala
bama, already battered to the waters
edge by the rain OF bombs from
army airplanes, probably will be
made tonight, according to officers
at Langley Field Brig. Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, assistant chief of the
army air service, was expected to
arrive from Washington today, when
the plans for the eliminating test
was to be approved.
Fire broke out yesterday on the
old sea warrior, presumably as an
aftermath Of the 300-pouRd demoli-
ton bombs which found their mark
during the assault Saturday night
Mine sNeepcrs made fast to the hulk
and fought the fire back into the
holds, where it was not believed it
would accomplish much additional
damage.

Whether the war has had some

NJ. Daudct seems 10 think it has.

On the whole, the passing duel
will be little regretted. 1t may be

in literature it has suffered some

Doctor Beardslee said the patient
was suffering excruciating pain, and
that he gave her three hypodermics.

was suffering internal injury, which
he later found was in the bladder.
He advised taking Miss Rape TO

she would have to see others about

UNDESIRABLE SCHEDULE.

The new passenger schedule of

of the city in particular Undoubt-

it applies to the morning passengers.
The north and south bound Cotton
Belt morning trains, under the oper-
alton of the new schedule, meet in
Paragould at 5:23, much earlier
than they ever before ran.
The change in the time of the

OLD JIM BRIDGER, TELLER OF
TALL. YARNS"

"Yes sir, up thar in the Yellowstone
| seed peetrfied trees agrowin' with
peetrifed birds on 'em a-singin' peet-
rified songs" once declared old Jim
Bridger, scout, trapper and fur trad
er. He was one of the first white
men to visit the natural wonders OF
what is now Yellowstone National
park.
After his return he gave an account
Of what be had seen to an eastern
magazine writer. Two Of the writer
articles were published. Then the edl-
tor refused to print any more, saying
that his readers would not believa
such Baron Munchausen tales. Ev-
erything the old trapper had told the
magazine writer was true, and when
Bridger found that his stories were no
longer believed, he began telling 9TH
er yarns which did not always suck
so closely to the truth.
One day in the Yellowstone, he said
he came upon an elk grazing within
easy gun range. He fired, but the elk
neither dropped nor seemed alarmed
by the shot. The scout reloaded and
fired again-with the same result.
Then he became angry. Picking up
rock. he threw it at the animal. The
rock struck some invisible barrier and
dropped to the ground. When Bridg-
