REALLY NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Crowd That Feared Tragedy Had Not

Of Chld's Mother.

A large crowd had halted and all
were looking up at a fourth-story
window. The lower sash was open
and a child leaned far out over the
sill, trying to catch a sparrow.
Exclamations of horror broke out
as the infant reached further and
further over the sill.
At length woman spectator cried
out:
"What idiots you men are! Why
don't you go and tell the child's

Three or four started, but they
had not crossed the street before the
child lost its balance and pitched
out head first.
There was a shrek, which was
suddenly checked, as the child
stopped short in his headlong drop
and hung squalling two feet below
the window, with a stout cord tied
round his waist. His howls brought
a woman to the window. She pulled
him up into the room again and
then shouted to the gasping crowd

gresham tackled on to the last ap-
preparation bill an amendment pro-
viding a $40 charge to be made for
passports and passport vises, and
that no one could enter or leave

far the State department has taken
in from passport fees about $11,-

REVERSAL IN
MACKLEY CASE

In a decision made last Mon
day the Supreme Court held
that the American Railway Ex-
press Company could not be
held responsible for the act of
an agent who had killed a man
and wounded the mans wife,
and reversed awards OF the
Hampstead County Circuit
Court which had given Mrs.
Peter w. Mackley S1O3,OOO as
damages. The case was tried
here at the October, 1920, term
of court on change of venue
from Miller county.
March 8, 1919, jeff Hines, a
driver for the American Rail-
way Express Company, shot
and killed Peter w. Mackley,
a Texarkana florist, and woun-
ded Mrs. Mackley. She brought
suit against the express COM
pany and recovered a judg-
ment for herself of S5O,OOO.OO
and Judgment as administra-
trix of the estate Of her hus-
band for S53,OOO.OO.
Hines had delivered some
flowers to the Mackleys. The
flowers were damaged. Mrs.
Mackley demonstrated with
Hines and during the course
of the conversation asked Hines
why he wanted to lie about the
time the flowers arrived in
Texarkana. She then called
the express company Office and
an agent came to her place and
agreed to a settlement of the
damages. The next day Hines
