OFFICERS SEARCH
 NABS 2 "SHINERS'

Concerted action by Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers, Deputy Constable J. A. King and Night Marshal John Durham resulted in the arrest Of Isaac Bradley of Center Ridge ana Peter Palidinni of near Conway. Eff teen gallons of "corn" whiskey were found at the place of Palidinni when it was searched by King and Sum- mers, and one pint of the same vln- tage was found on Bradley, as well as formidable looking automatic pis- tol. Bradley was arrested in the busl- ness section Saturday afternoon by Durham. Bradley was released under bond of S1 ,000 and Palidinni under bond of $500 for their appearance before Justice of the Peace G. M. Easterwood Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The two arrests resulted from the work of the officers Saturday after noon. Palidinni's place was first raid ed by King and Summers. They re- turned to town and thinking that Bradley had gone, they set out in pursuit. Durham, however, located Bradley and arrested him while they were absent More evidence than is now held may be developed against the pair, but if it should not be, Bradley can be arraigned for transporting whiskey and carrying firearms, while Palidinni can be brought into court on a charge of having whiskey in his possession.
 Palidinni in a statement to the of ficers declared that Bradley left the whiskey there, promising to return, and that it actually was not in his possession.

Dr. H. T. Sizemore, who resided and practiced medicine at Mt. Vernon for several months during the past fall and winter, is held at Shreveport, La, as an accessory to the murder of Miss Gladys Cook, young nurse, ac- cording to newspaper dispatch sent from Shreveport Saturday night.
 Dr. Sizemore, who left Mt. Vernon about the time the January grand jury met. after having been advised that the grand jury would probably inves- tigate whether his credentials to prac- tice medicine were legal, was heard from a few days later when the Ar kansas Gazette printed a story that 9 man claiming to be Dr. Sizemore's brother had informed it that the body of Dr. Sizemore had been found near Mayflower, this county. It was after wards learned that no body had been discovered in the vicinity of Mayflow- CT The Shreveport press dispatch Dr. Sizemore follows:

 Although under influence of some drug tonight, Sizemore was communi- cative and recited connected account of his movements and interest in the case. He said that he had gone from Shreveport to Leesville, where he lived with a woman as his wife. He wrote a number of letters to Sheriff Hughes and Chief of Police Bazer, in which he intimated that the death of the nurse was the result of a deliberate plot and that price of $500 had been offered at one time for her death.
 "Sizemore says he was at one time accused of embedding church funds at Marietta, Okla. He further stated that he had been divorced from his first wife in Beaumont in 1910. He married again in Hot Springs, Ark, he says, and his friendship for Miss Cook, whom he had known for the past two years, made his wife jeal GUS. He admitted that he was drug addict and also that he had written the anonymous letter which furnished the clue which led to his arrest.
 The man was locked up and will be questioned further by the officers Sum- day
 Earlier in the day, three negroes, two of the bellboys at the hotel where Miss Cook roomed, and one chauf- fpur. were arrested hbut fhp nOlice ad- mitted they had no direct evidence, and were holding them because their stories disagreed.
 Miss Cook, who was p years of age, and who had relatives at New port and at Armstrong Springs, Ark, died in Shreveport hospital after being found Monday in her room n a local hotel unconscious. That her death was not due to natural causes was not discovered until the time of the coroner's inquest"

BANQUET IS FINAL EVENT AT HENDRIX OLD STARS TIE BULLDOGS Parker Holds Visitors Until Chased Ninth-Harlan Banquet Elab-
 crate Affair.

An eleven-inning baseball game Between the Alumni and Bulldogs with a 4-to-4 score Saturday after noon, and splendid banquet by the Harlan Literary Society Saturday night were the concluding events of 91e first annual homecoming at Hen- drix College, which the officials ot the college declare was even more successful than anticipated. There is no doubt, it was said, but that a home coming program will be ar ranged each year for the alumni and former students of the college.
 The baseball game Saturday after noon was more interesting than Fri days game. Benne Mayo, premier hurler for the Bulldogs of former days. worked in the box for the Alumni, while Joe Parker performed for the Bulldogs in what was his first college baseball game. The way Parker worked, however, showed that he has the makings of a good pitcher and it is predicted he will assist Bill White materially this season in car rying the pitching burdens of the Eeam-
 Mayo, who now is coaching and teaching at Paragould, was in mid season form, and the Bulldogs were unable to solve his curves. Only two hits were garnered off his delivery in she Il innings.
 The Bulldogs began scoring early in the game, due to errors on the part of their opponents. In the ninth inning, however, with the score 4 to I against the Alumni, Jimmie Har- rison stepped into one for home run Coker and Culpepper followed with hits which netted two more runs, tieing the score. Bill White re- heved Parker at this point. Neither team was able to score after the ninth, and the game was called in the eleventh inning because of dark ness.
 The Harlan banquet Saturday night at Tabor Hall was one of the stellar events of the homecoming, although only members of the society, their friends and former Harlans were present. The hall was decorated in maroon and grey, the colors of the society. Plates were prepared for 166 guests. The menu was prepared by zhe Young Women's Missionary So- eiety of the First Methodist church. Young men from the Franklin society served.
 During the banquet several clever toasts were given. Jerry L. Patter- Son, toastmaster, following the invo- cation by Rev. c. M. Reyes, made a short address of welcome. The next toast was "To Our Brother and Sis fer Societies." by Fount Albright. Responses by Miss Hazel Brummett of the Hypatia and Lonnie Lipe of the Franklin followed. Among the other toasts given were to "The Laniers," by Lowell Thompson, the response being given by Miss Horton Williams of Galloway College, Scar gy; 'NTo the Harlans, Present and Flu fure," N. T. Hollis; "To Our Fair Guests" Henry Goodloe; "To the Hendrix Faculty" Allen Cazort; re- sponse, Prof. T. s. Staples; "To the AOld' Harlans," George Millar.
 One of the most appreciated toasts given was the one by J. J. Harrison
