WOMAN WINS $12.5O0
Is Awarded Damages From Railway

TeXarkana, Nov. 19.-In the Civil District Court of Bowie county, Texas, at New Boston late last night the jury in the damage case of Mrs Etta Stuckey against the Kansas City Southern Railway Company brought in a verdict for $12,500\ for the plaintiff.

Further Prizes Won
 By Local People

TO the list of premiums awarded Little River county exhibits at the state fair last week as given in the issue of the News should be added the following:
 First prize, women's department, best library table scarf Mrs. w. o. Sims; first prize on organdy handker- chiefs and second prize on crochet luncheon sets also awarded Mrs. Sims.
 Third prize on embroidered center piece was awarded Mrs. L. Price. It is regretted that Little River county did not make a larger showing of exhibits at the state fair But it was good considering the fact that we had no county or district fairs this year to assemble the best prod ucts and forward them to the state fair. It IS tc be that another year will find lalger exhibits from this county, as the success of the recent fair seems to assure this is a pe,ma- nent feature for the state The state fair management is to be commended for their care of exhibits and prompt return with money premiums attached The return of exhibits to Ashdown was within few hours after the close of the fair. The immediate publica- tion of the premium awards by the Arkansas Gazette was also a feature which was no doubt a source of sati5- faction to exhibitors all over the state.

HULL HOUSE DESTR0YE ID
 AT OIL MILL SUNDAY

 Fire Unknown &

At about 1O:30 Sunday night ire hroke out in the hull house at the Temple Cotton Oil Company's plant ;,, this city which completely destroy od that portion of the building and ooused a loss of approximately $12,- mn The hull house is the east half of what was formerly the old seed house. The west half of this building was separated by "a fire wall and the o+ber end being used as a seed house. Tba fire started from the inside and snread rapidly over the wooden struc- +ure The fire equipment was slow in coming, and when it finally went into action the fire had climbed through the brick fire wall and the whole roof of the seed division was in flames. The water supply was nlentiful and with the big pressure numps in action the fire in the seed house was soon under control. The seed was damaged to some extent by water.
 The mill resumed operation Monday morning as usual as the only machin- cry injured was that part of the dis tributng system in the hull house. It is supposed that the fire might have been accidentally set by a tramp who might have slipped into the building to sleep. although no tramps had been discovered about the building. The volunteers who took charge of the fire did good work. Some of the necessary parts were out of place causing some delay.
