ROAD DISPUTE SETTLED
Polk County Road Commissioners are
 Having Hard Time.

Mena, March 5.-Commissioners of the Jefferson highway won a verdict in the Chancery court yesterday when an injunction secured by resident of Grannis was dissolved by o-aer of Chancellor J. D. Shaver of TexS:. ana The commissioners in building the highway between Wickes and Grannis made slight change in the route to which objections were made by property owners The new route was shown to be the most economical for construction work, although it did not follow the present road. It also eliminates two railroad crossings. The objectors sought to show the change was made for selfish reasons and that the change would work hardships on them. Construction work halted by temporary injunction svanted by Judge Steel of Ashdown will be re- sumed at once.

CHURCHES SHOW GAINS
Membership Increases 67,O00 in 1920;
 but 44,OOO in 1913.

New York, March 6.-Churches of the United States made a net gain of 667,OOO new members in 1920, ac- cording to a canvass compiled by the Christian Herald. Dr. K. H. Carrol, of Plainfield, N. J., who gathered the statistics, said this was a marked in- crease over 1919, when the number of members gained was less than 44,OOO.
 Dr. Carroll said in 1919 decreases were shown in most of the churches. He compared figures of some of the larger groups showing that in 1919 the Methodist group lost 75,951; the Presbyterian group lost 46,459, and the Baptist group lost 11,1O8. In 1920 these groups gained respectively. 237.127, 43,O31, and 129,2S3. The three large Baptist bodies, he said, have not yet completed their statistics, and it is believed that the actual figures will show gain of more than 129,OOO in the year. Baptists in the Southern Baptist church have reached the un- procedented figure of 165,OOO with churches yet to be heard from.
 The Roman Catholic church showed somewhat smaller increase in 1920 of 127,579. Doubtless when immigra- tion sets in again, it was pointed out, the increase will be greater.

TWO MORE OIL GUSHERS
Two More Big Wells Are in at Fl
 Dorado.

Fl dorado, March 5. - Saturday s'cins to be the real led letter day i3r bringing in the good ones in the El D ;~adc oil field. The Hickman l'ai, d and the Caddo-Central both came :n ,nda:' and are pronourced fine produc- CTS l'y the men wha should know.
 Their production is estimated from five hundred barrels each, up into the thCusands by the enthusiasts
 The first named well extends the fieid fully mile to the southeast.
 Fully dozen wells are due to be br cusht in the coming week and further knowledge of the trend of the field is bound to be shown by them. Nothing as yet has disproved the ori- ginal theory of the great majority of guessers that the extent of the field is northwest and southeast.
 New locations are being made daily now. Derricks spring up apparently over night and development of the GA AOesI hCW Al hoAooo Oll Hclu BUGS Ou unabated. Probably one hundred wells, drilled, drilling and to be drilled would be close estimate on the acti- vities in this field as marked by the above at the present hour.
 The finding of salt water in two or three wells close in to the big Busey, the discovery well, has rather taken aback the owners of that high priced acreage which has ranged up as high as $5,OO4 per acfe. and has set the experienced heads to figuring out what mistakes if any, have been made in the manner of bringing thess wells in. The general impression prevails that much of this salt water defect will be corrected as the operators become mere familiar with the field.

They were passing thru the cemetery, she said, when the two seized her and forced her to enter a vacant house. There they kept her until about 6 o'clock.
 After being released, she said she went at once to her home, at tho oatskirts of the town and near the cemetery, and told her parents. A
 G1p1ant was issued and the men were M ssaad at g o'clock.

STARTS HELPER INDICTED
Rufus M. ROwlen Accused of Attempt
 to Rob Harrison Bank.

Harrison, March 5.-A John Doe indictment has been returned by the Boone county grand jury against Rufus M Rowlens, an Oklahoman, charging him with attempting to rob the Peoples bank at Harrison Febru- ary Is, it was announced here today. Rowlens, who is 29, was arrested week ago today at Muskogee, Okla, lie is alleged to have been accom- pl1ce to Henry Starr, who was fatally shot during the attempted robbery by W. J. Myers, a director of the bank
 Rawlens is said to have been men, toned by Starr as one of his accom- plices in the Harrison job. The other two men who were with Starr at the time, are still at large, although the dead bandit, on the day before he died, is said to have given their names to Sheriff J. s. Johnson. The sheriff has found no clue to their Whereabouts, but has not given up the chase
 RoWlens was arrested at Muskogee after Oklahoma officers shadowed his wife two days. They learned where she was living, and raided the house early on the morning of February 26. Rowlens made an effort to escape through rear door, but ran into the arms of an officer.
 After being taken to jail Rowlens declarerd he would not return to Ar kansas without requisition. He con- suited his lawyer, however, and then decided not to fight requisition. Sheriff Johnson and deputy of Har- rison brought the prisoner here Tues day He is held in the Boone county jail. His lawyer from Muskogee is expected here Thursday, when efforts l to arrange bail will be made.
 Rowlens says that he has a perfect alibi, and that he can easily prove that he was not in Arkansas on the day of the attempted robbery. Sev- cal persons who saw the four bandits have visited the jail to identify Row lens, but the local officers will not divulge whether the prisoner was identified.

Wild Gasser Comes in and
 May Cause Damage

Ell Dorado, March 7.-Blowing in much mud high over the derrick top, the Caddo Central Oil and Refining company's Rogers No. 1, in 31-17-15, is today roaring at the rate of 2O,00O,O0O to 25,000,000 cubic feet of gas, and defying all known tricks of the oil field to stop it.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon the gas flow from the wild well was shooting out from under the derrick floor, and it was declared by experts that within a few hours the derrick would be in- undated and topple over. Efforts were being made to remove the machinery from the site.
 The crater is gradually widening and many people fear that there is little hope of ever capping the we'll. Harry R. Decker, veteran of 35 years in the oil business, who was | brought here to cap the Busey we'll J when it was wild. declared that if field reports reaching him were au- thentic, it would be far harder to manage this new well than any thus far, not excepting the old Constantine i gasser of last year
 The top joint of the ten-inch cas- ing, fully 20 feet in length, is said to have broken away from the rest and was thrown out when the well came in. The crater is already fun nel shaped with a diameter at the top of approximately 10 feet, taper ing down the 20 feet left open by the absence of the 10-inch joint.
 That the we'll will materially re- duce the pressure in the field is be- lieved by some oil men. Others de- clare that there is no limit to the havoc the we'll might bring to the field and city. The we'll was being drilled by the Caddo-C -Central's own drilling crew, but there was not one there this afternoon who could say who was in charge.

Saw! Think of This..-

Always remember and bear in mind that Good Roofing is Hard to Find.
 Art Craft comes sliding down the line and now it has put a stop to all of the whims about bad leaky roofs when it can get just half of a show ing in the way of which it is installed. The people whom have gotten an Art Craft roof on their houses, all have 8 more contented mind for after it has been on some time it looks better than when first put on, and they become more acquainted with the good quail ity, and are more pleased with the good appearance it makes around their homes.
 And there is another grand and sat. isfying feature about this, when your old shingle roof is dry and chappery, and the wind is blowing and your fiues are giving off sparks you do not have to be one bit uneasy for they will not do your roof one bit of harm.
 Now, say, good people, one and all. like, if you need roofing now is . very good time to get it. Roofing that has lasted and is still lasting, and vii continue to last for great num- Der of years, and look better all the time It can be had for $5.75 psr square. if wanted, phone19S or box 4f7.
