the bustle, and begged her to go aft, but she
took no notice of me. Then Charley who was
very busy with the headgear, caught sight of
her and shouted in his biggest voice: Get off

way here For all answer she made funny
face at him, and / saw poor Charley turn
away, hiding smile. She was flushed with tho
excitement Of getting home again, and her blue
eyes seemed to snap electric sparks as she

round just ahead Of US, and our tug had to
stop her engines in hurry to avoid running

in her yachting skirt and red tam-o'-shanter

old salts used to grin to themselves when they
saw her coming along and offered to teach her
knots or spices,
"As you may imagine, the diabolic propen-

 SHOT 5 GUARDS
Nasm-inus Ranaa Then Made Dash Tor l.lhurty hut Prison Mates Accurate Fire Checked Him--Mur-
 der Trial Soon.

1srsls Rock, Sept. l9.-Tom Slaugh- ter. notorious Oklahoma bank robber, .adsx added another chapter to his jenr list of crimes, when in sensa- tsansi attempt to escape from the Ar kansas prison farm he killed one man and perhaps fatally wounded two oth- CTS. ali strusty" guards, with rife smuggled to him by someone on the outside.
 Bliss Adkisson. draft register, serving eighteen years for murder committed when a posse tried to cap ture him and other residents in the mountains of Cleburne county, was killed. Jim Morris and Dewitt Gar rett, the other guards, were shot thru the body and are not expected to live. Liih..rn Tavlnr, a convict, was wound ed in the right leg by a guard, but IS not dangerously injured.
 Slaughter was brought from Tuck CT, where the farm IS located, to the penitentiary here this afternoon, and tonight is being held in solitary con finement. Preparations are being made to try him for murder in Jet- ferson county, 1t was stated.
 Slaughter, with Fulton Green, was convicted of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Row Brown of Hot Springs about year ago.
 According to reports from the Tucker farm, Slaughter early this morning obtained the rife smuggled in to him from it's hiding place in one of the large bath houses, where there were more than hundred convicts at the time. He ordered the convicts to lie down and thru the window began picking off the guards. Morris was shot first and then Garrett. Crossing to another window he fired on Adkis- son, killing him with the first shot. Slaughter fired at several officials and then started to make a break for the open. Ae he reached the door Sam Payne, life termer, opened fire or him with a pistol His aim was SC accurate that Slaughter threw away his gun, raised handkerchief and surrendered.
 On one of the occasions wher Slaughter is alleged to have instigat- ed a plot for the wholesale escape oi convicts, the national guard wa! called out and kept on duty at ths penitentiary for more than q week.
 An inquest was held over Adkis sons body this afternoon, and the cor, oner's jury recommended that Slaugh ter be held to the Jefferson county grand jury on a charge of murder.
 Only the loyalty of the small band oi trusty guards is said to have prevent ed the escape of two hundred or more ,convicts. According to prisoners Slaughter's plan fer escape provider for other convicts to rush to tn, guards as he shot them down, obtain the guards guns and join him in tho flight. The determined efforts of thu guards and their rapid firing kept tn, other convicts corralled in the batl house.

Guy H. Evans, an ex-service man living with his sister, Miss Pearl Evans, on Magnolia avenue, was ex- amined for his sanity on Monday morning by a commission composed of Drs. B. H. Hawkins and P R. Wat kins with the result that it was or dered by Judge Finger that he be taken to the state hospital at Little Rock for treatment, pending the ac- tion of the Unied States Veterans Bu- reau on his application for admit tance to a soldiers rehabilitation hos pital.
 The young mans trouble dates back to March, 1918, when he came home on furlough from Camp Beauregard, La. on account of his fathers death. He had been in the hospital with influenza, which was followed by pneumonia. After com ing home he was under the care of a doctor and nurse for about a month, and from time his furlough was ex- tended. At that time he showed symptoms of mental alteration, but returned to Camp Beauregard, re- maining there until discharged in 1919. Since coming home he has had frequent attacks of mental trouble, but 1t was not until the last few days that he became uncomfortable.

Comes Home From santo Domingo

To leave a country where the in habitants are nearly all of the black race and come to one where even a single negro is almost a curiosity, is the experience of Roy Maloney, a young Mena man, who arrived home Friday morning from the Republic of Santo Domingo, in the West Indies. Young Maloney, who is the son of MT. and Mrs. J. T. Maloney of Gam street, has been with the Marine Corps at Santo Domingo the past eight months. Owing to the reducing in the military forces he obtained his discharge and returned home to Mena. The Republic of Santo Domingo is the east part of the Island of Haiti, and It noted for it's great sugar planta lions. The inhabitants are mainly of the black race.
