capped prisoners walking along
the railroad track. Mitchell
opened fire on his pursuers with
a revolver supposed to have been
the one taken from Jailer j, M.
Soto, when the break for liberty
took place.
The officers returned the fire
and Mitchell's arm was seen to
drop, but he disappeared and es-
capped over a knoll. His hat,
pierced by bullet, was left be-
hind. The other three men sur
Mitchell was to serve a term of

A Dog-on Nuisance

The dog nuisance in this town

to enjoy a good nights rest.
Sleep these fine cool nights is be-

Many of these CANNES are strays

VAST IGNORANCE
 ABOUT ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-Ignorance concerning Arkansas as uncovered by the Arkansas Advancement Associa- ton would be amusing but for the fact that the state loses thereby. A young Arkansan who attends a Vir- glnia school is working this summer in Pennsylvania. When he informed a citizen of Scranton that his home was in Arkansas he was asked if that was located in Kansas This young man writes that he is in favor of compulsory education. Another young man reports that he lost chance to become an officer in the army when asked by the officer to whom he ap- piled for admission to the officers training school what was grown in Arkansas. This young man was from the Stuttgart vicinity and of course knew but one reply-rice The of ficer promptly denied his application,
 saying that rice was not grown in Ar kansas and as the applicant could not truthfully reply to a simple question he could not be depended upon should he become an officer. President Pet tie of the Arkansas Advancement As sociation reports that on a trip to Asbury Park a few years ago, bar Der asked him if Arkansas was not lin Pennsylvania.
 The button, "I Am Proud of Ar kansas" will be sent to people outside the state this week, together with a card giving reasons for pride in Ar kansas. Through these the world Twill in a short time know how impor- Itant Arkansas is in natural resources and progressiVeness

PETITE TO SPEAK
 HERE ON THURSDAY IS ARKANSAS BOOSTER
Little Rock Banker and Orator Do- mating Time and Energies to Re-
 futing Islanders Against State.

Virgil Petite, Little Rock banker and orator, who for several weeks has been devoting practically his en- tire time to the Arkansas Advance ment Association, will speak at Con- way on next Thursday night, August 25, at s o'clock, in the interest of that organization.
 As the most comfortable place available in which to hold the meet ing, the First Presbyterian church has been selected. The auditorium of this church is equipped with electric fans and is one of the coolest places of assembly in the city.
 The Arkansas Advancement Asso- citation was organized only a few months ago with the avowed purpose of setting Arkansas right in the eyes of the outside world and of securing justice for the state in the press and public opinion of those living beyond its borders. From the days of the Arkansas Traveller" this great state had had to contend against would be humorous thrusts and jibes These have been accepted in a good d-natured spirit and little has been said or done to overcome their effects. Re- gently, however, the "knocks" against Arkansas in eastern and northern publications have taken the form of viciously untruthful attacks. which reflect upon the integrity and honor of the state. There are abundant evi- dences of a systematic and well-plan- ned campaign of unfavorable propa- ganda against the entire south and Arkansas in particular.
 It was for the purpose of combat ting these malicious attacks and of telling the truth about Arkansas that the organization which, Mr. Petite heads was formed. He is now talk ing time from his business and going from county to county in order that the whole people of the state may get behind the movement. Frank Farris, vice president of the Farmers State Bank, was appointed county chair man some weeks ago, and will have charge of arrangements for the speaking here Thursday night. No collection or subscription will be talk en at the meeting, but Mir. Petite S address will be followed later by a canvass to raise a moderate sum as Faulkner county's portion of the ex- pense of the proposed campaign. Mir. Petite is one of the most effect i've and interesting speakers of the
 state. He is full of zeal for his cause and is able to present in a man@ ner which captivates his audiences.
 He will doubtless be heard here by a large crowd.

HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"
Q, Western Newspaper Union.

In 175S, while General Lyman's army was encamped near Fort Edward, N. r., during the French and Indian war, sentinels at one outpost began to disappear mysteriously. Night after night a soldier was posted there and the next morning could not be found.
 Only the bravest men in the army were selected for this post. General Lyman gave orders for them to call out "Who goes thereY' three times, if they heard any noise, and then if no answer came, ts fire. But the disappearances continued until his men were panic stricken and refused to take such a dangerous station.
 At last Israel Putnam, a member of Major Rogers rangers, volunteered to go on guard at that place and solve the mystery. One hot summer night he heard a rustling in the leaves nearby. The sounds were those of an animal scuffiing about on the ground for food and, peering through the darkness. Putnam saw by the faint starlight huge creature, which he recognized as bear, slowly sham bling toward him.
 Something in the bears gait aroused the scouts suspicion. Putnam obeyed the generals orders. He challenged three times az then fired. A loud lgroaning and struggling noise followed and when the scout rushed forward he found the bear in its death agony Then he turned the animal over En. closed in the shaggy skin still clutch. . giant Indian.
 The mystery was solved. The other sentinels had believed it was real bear they heard and allowed the dar. ing warrior to get near enough to use his tomahawk before they learned their mistake. No more sentinels dis appeared.
 Some time after this event, Putnam was captured by the Indians who started to burn him at the stake. Just as the flames began to scoreh his buck skin garments, heavy rain began to fall and put out the fire. The say. ages collected more dry wood and again began the torture. But again they were foiled.
 A French officer appeared upon the scene, dashed through the ring ot flame, kicked the blazing brands right and left and released the scout, telling the Indians that he must send Putnam to Montreal to be questioned by Gen eral Montcalm. Putnam was held in Canada until an exchange of prison. ers allowed him to return to his home and he lived to become famous gen. eral in the Revolution.
