Save He Knows Assailant

The police were notified and Ser geant Ewing and Patrolman Roberts were on the scene immdately. To them Mason attempted to give a de- scriution of his assailant, but was unable. However, he said he knew the negro and that he lived at 404 West Twelfth street, Little Rock.
 Sergeant Ewing and Roberts ac- companied by Detectives Moore Hoot CT, Cabaniss and Martin hurried to that addrss and arrested three negroes These were led before Stanley and the negro who saw the officers assail- ant. but were not identified
 Mason's weapon, a 3S caliber rveol- yer, was not found at the scene of the shooting, which leads the police to bieve the negro carried it with him. Many residents near the scene of the attack. saw the negro in flight, but none was able to identify any of the three suspects. They were released by Chief Ganser.
 Mason is married and has two chil- dren. He had been in the employ of the railroad as special agent for sev- eral years.

@, Western Newspaper Union. THE SHOSHONE DAM
By I. T. MAXEY

A MONO the great irrigation dams 4 \ erected under the supervision of the reclamation service of the De partment of the Interior, the Shoshone has distinct individuality. It is located nine miles west of Cody, Wyoming, on the road to Yellowstone park.
 If you can conceive of a triangular shaped wedge of concrete BPS feet high, 200 feet wide at the top, 108 feet thick at the base tapering to 10 feet at the crest, placed between two mountains so as to close the canyon of river. you can gain some idea of this mastodonic structure.
 Now imagine a lake of stored-up water, 10 miles long, with maximum width of four miles and a maximum depth of 233 feet behind this dam; then, in front of 1t spill-way bearing strong resemblance to a section of Niagara falls, and stretching away in the distance hundreds of thousands of acres of land covered with an abund- ance of crops, peopled with happy in- habitants and here and there a bus ting village. There you have pie ture of one of Uncle Sans great irri- gation projects.
 Remember that before the water was brought to this thirsting land, sage brush and prairie dogs were among the principal crops then presto "The desert blossomed as the rose" and you'll understand why your government expended S1,354,000 on the dam alone.

OFFICER SHOT
 BY NEGRO
George K. Mason is Victim of Uniden- tified Assailant.

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-George E. Mason, aged 24 special agent for the Missouri Pacific railway, was shot with his own revolver and dangerous ly wounded by an unidentified negro at Ninth and Poplar streets, North Little Rock, last night The officer was rushed in a r. H. Ruebel & Co.,, ambulance to the Baptist hospital in Little Rock, where an operation was performed. The bullet struck the off cer in the right side, ranging down and back through the liver. Dr. W. F. Smith, division surgeon for the Missouri Pacific, last night said that Mason was in dangerous condition, but that he had a fighting chance for recovery.
 Mason and his partner, H. H. Stan ley. first saw the negro as they search ed north bound passenger train No. 6 at o'clock at the North Little Rock station. The negro was stealing ride and when ordtred off the train was very insolent and insulting, ac- cording to Stanley. He said Mason hit the negro with an object he picked up from the ground, after the negro had cursed Mason. The negro then grappled with Mason and took from him the weapon with which the officer struck him. Stanley was on the oppO- site side of the train. which had just started to pull out, and could not reach Mason until the train was gone
 The negro had disappeared when Stanley reached Mason. but search of the immediate vicinity, resulted in the arrest of the black. Stanley said the negro still was very insolent and denied being the one taken from the train. Stanley said he was the sa n,e negro.
 Stanly said Mason then told him t {. search another train which was due to reach there soon, Mason accompan- jed the negro to the yard office, distance of only few blocks. Arriv- ing there and finding no one except negro employed as stock watchman there, Mason started to walk his pris oner to the North Little Rock police station. They had reached Ninth and Poplar streets when the negro whirled around and snatched Mason's revolver from hte scabbard. He fired wto shots and ran east on Ninth street, closely pursued by Mason. The wounded officer. however, weakened, rapidly and after running half block, staggered on a porch of resi- dence and asked for help.

THE FATHER OF WATER.
By TT. MAXEY

COUNTING the longest branch as - part ct 1t, the Mississippi is the longest river in the world. Her nando de Soto lake and not Lake 1tasca, as commonly supposed, is now considered by some authorities as its place of beginning.
 There is difference of 1,470 feet between the elevations of its mouth and of its head and during it's journey from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mex leo the temperature depending upon the season. sometimes varies as much as 150 degrees.
 Its waters wash the soils of ten states. In the vicinity of Red river, Louisiana, the volume of its flow Is estimated to exceed 12,OOO,OOO gal Ions per second
 The Wisconsin, Des Moines, Illi- nois, Missouri. Ohio, White, Arkansas and Red river systems, as well as a large number of 'lesser lights" with their myriads of tributaries, flow into 1t. These rivers carry drainage from 2S of the 48 states. This tremendous watershed has an area of 1,240,00O square miles or 41% of the entire United States
 The Mississippi is nav gable for al- most It's entire length or from St. Paul to the Gulf.
 Large numbers of passengers are transported between local points and tremendous quantities of freight-prin- cipally grain, cotton, live stock, coal, lumber, logs, provisions, stone, gravel and sand are carried upon Its sur face. The river freight at the port of New Orleans, during d recent year, approxlmated 1,OOOOOO,OOO tons.

DECREE

Reno. Nevada. June 25.-The ef-
fort of the Attorney General Of Ne
vada to have the divorce decree Of
Mary Pickford and Owen Moore set
aside failed at Minden this afternoon
when District Judge Langan granted
a motion to quash the summons in
the Attorney Generals motion. The
court held that while 1t is true the
State is entitled to representation in
divorce suits. 1t Is represented by the
judge trying the case, not the Attor-
ney General. AS the decree had been
accepted both by plaintiff and de-
PENDANT, the judge decided that the
State was estopped from setting aside
the decree.
Los Angeles, June 25.-Mary Pick
ford. the validity of whose divorce
from owen Moore was upheld to-day,
was informed of the decision ON re-
ceipt of Associated Press dispatches,
but refused to comment. saying she
preferred that her husband, Douglas
Fairbanks, make a statement. THE
result of the litigation in Nevada is
very gratifying to US both. The rul-
ing makes us very happy" Fairbanks
said.

A STAR FADES

Carson News: Without passing
judgment on the merits or dement's
OF her divorce case, ari endeavoring
to withhold criticism from her per-
~sonality, we must admit that Mary
Pickford Moore Fairbanks Is less
kindly received by the emotional pub
lie than she was a few years ago. One
critic says she has lost her baby
stare. that she is growing old and no
longer fits the part of childlike inno-
cence. Others say that the begin
ming Of her downfall was "Suds."
In this she did not play the baby
doll but made up as an ugly child of
the slums and took the part SO we'll,
hat when she endeavors to come
back Through the Back Door, the
critics can still see the lines she en-
phasized in Studs" Another says
that the m%ercenary public lacks the
imagination to visualize in a child's
part when evidence in her divorce
case discloses the fact that she had
been married ten years.
Whatever the cause, Mary Pick
ford Is not the drawing card that she
was a few years ago, nor is Douglas
Fairbanks as popuSr. On the other
hand Owen Moore, the unlucky hus-
band No. 1, has gained immensely by
the publicity afforded by the divorce
suit, and is now one of the most pop
ular heroes Of the screen.
