obscured his vision for a moment.
Then he understood. McGuffey had a
rapid-fire gun trained on the wari, and
the savages, with frightful yells, were
fleeing madly from the little shells.
Half dozen Of them lay dead and
wounded close by.
"Hooray," yelled Mr.. Gibney, and
dashed at the post which held Captain
Scraggs prisoner. He struck 1t pow
erful blow with his shoulder and
Scraggs and the post crashed to the
ground. In an instant Mr.. Gibney was
on his knees, tearing at Scraggs' rope
shackles with his teeth. Five minutes
later, Captain Scraggs' hands were
free. Then Scraggs did like service
for Gibney. &J
All the time the shells from the Mag
gle III were bursting around them
every second or two, and 1t seemed as
IL they must be killed before they
could make their escape.
As they tore along through the
jungle path Mr.. Gibney's good right
eye (his left was obscured) detected
two savages crouching behind clump
Of coco palms.
There's the king and -Tabu,"
yelled Scraggs. Lets round the beg
CARS up"
"Sure," responded the commodore.
"We'll need 'em for hostages IL we're
to get that black coral. Well turn EN-
over TO McGuffey."
I'D better ease up a minute, sir"
said the mate to Mr.. McGuffey. 1.-THE
guns getting fearful hot"
LET her melt" raved McGuffey,
"but keep her workin' for all she's
worth. I'll have revenge for GIBBS
death, or-sufferln' mackerell''
McGuffey once more sat down on
the cabin ventilator. He pointed
dumbly to the beach, and there, pad
ding of to the Maggie II, were two
naked cannibals and two naked white
men In a canoe. Five minutes later
they came alongside. McGuffey met
them at the rail. and he smiled ard
licked his lower lip as the trembling
monarch and his prime minister. In re-
Spouse to a severe application Of Mr..
Gibney'N hands and feet came flying
over the rail- Mr.. Gibney and Captain
Scraggs followed.
SIN much obliged to you. Mac" said
Mr.. Gibney, striving bravely to appear
jaunty. Zone Of your drst shots came
between my legs and cut the rope that
held me. and banged me and the post
was tied to all over the lot. A frag-
ment Of the shell appears to have
taken away part Of my ear. but /
guess I'll recover. We're pretty well

CONWAY MEN SEE
 PULASKI OIL WELL FIND FEW OIL SIGNS
DrIllers and Citizens of Community. However, Confident Prodt1cinp
 We'll Will be Brought In.

While the half-dozen or more Con- way citizens who yesterday visited the test well in northern Pulaski county near the Faulkner county line say they could see few signs of ac. tual oil, they found a strong conf dence upon the part of the drillers and citizens of the community that a producing oil we'll would soon be brought in, it was learned on their return to Conway last night.
 The well is being drilled near Tate Mill, in the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 13, in township 4 north, range II west, in Bayou Meto township of Pulaski county. This territory was formerly a part of Faulkner county, but was exchanged with Pulaski for a certain area lying between the Arkansas river and Palarm creek south of township 4. The we'll is about two and three-quarter miles south of the

ceived since the much exploited cpl sode. For some reason, newspapers on the Pacific coast all took a fancy to the local event, and it's progress seems to have absorbed readers from Los Angeles to Seattle as much as it did Arkansas people. Little Rock newspaper men declare that it was the most widely exploited episode to occur in Arkansas in years, holding the interest of the national press even more than the escape and killing of Tom Slaughter.
 At Bowie, Ariz., the San Simon Val ly News published the following com ment on the 'silent siX:'
 "A large number of sensational events take place in Arkansas, bu: among the most sensational matters that has been pulled off for some time was at Conway, Ark. when Judge Geo. w. Clark put six of the white farm CTS in jail because they could not re- member where they got their whiskey The news item went Ill ever the state. in fact all over the United States. Judge Clark's picture showed up in n large number of the metropolitan of the country, which shows that his rulings in court at tracted nationwide attention."

TO BE CANDIDATE
 FOR STATE SUPT.
RE. WOMACK ANNOUNCES
Conway Educator Will Seek 10 Sue ceed J. l.. Bond as Head of De-
 partment of Education.

| Announcement was made in the
 Little Rock morning papers yester- day that Richard F.. Womack, super ntendent of the public schools of Con- way, will be candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for state superln- tendent of public Instruction at the primary election next August. The announcement was received with sur prise here, but Mir. Womack said to- day he had been seriously considering the matter for some tune and had had much solicitation to enter the race. It was not until late Saturday that he definitely decided to do so, however, and the announcement was given the Little Rock papers while he was in that city Saturday night.
 Mr. Womack, who has graduate of the University of Arkansas and holds masters degree from the Pea body College for Teachers at Nash vile, Tenn, has lived in Conway for the past 13 years and will go into the race with the united support of his home city, although large ma. jority will regret the fact that hls election will of course mean his with drawal from his present position. He served eight years as head of the de- partment of history in the State Nor mai School, coming here the first year of that institution, and for the past five years has been superintendent of the public schools here, succeeding in that position his brother, J P. Wom- ack, who resigned to accept the sup erintendency at Jonesboro. He is a member of a widely known family in this state.
 MT. Womack said today he would of course serve the remainder of his term as superintendent here, as he could do this without interfering with his campaign. The superintendency of the Conway schools next year will be filled by later action of the direc- tors, and this action may be defer red until late in the summer, owing to the financial condition which will probably not permit a reopening of the school except through outside aid, such as is now being raised for it's continuance the remainder of the present session. "If I am elected to office, and the Conway boards de sires me to organize the school and serve as superintendent until next January l should be glad to do so,'' MT. Womack said. This was done at Paragould this year, no superinten dent having been elected after the school work for the year was or. ganized and set in motion and a va. cancy occurred.
 A. B. Hill of Little Rock, state SUD- ervisor of high schools, is the only other candidate who has announced for the position of state superintendent Il have entered the race to win, and l firmly believe I shall be elected
 MT. Womack said today, "and I hope to have the solid backing of my home county"

CONFERENCE PLAYS TITLE SERIES HERE LOCAL TEAMS IN ACTION Hendrix Plays Reddies and Normal Meets Catholics at Capitol
 Tonight.

Five teams of the Arkansas Inter college Athletic Conference will play in the tournament on the Hendrix in door court on Friday, February 24 for the conference title. Arrange ments were completed today by repre- sentatives of the conference for the playing of the series Ill Conway.
 Hendrix will tonight invade the stronghold of the Ouacbita Tigers and Henderson-Brown Reddies at Arka- delphia, opening the four game series with the Reddies as first opponents. The Bulldogs scored two comparative ly easy triumphs over the Reddies or the local court, and do not anticipate Wednesday and Thursday nights.
 Ouachita had much to say about the games played at Conway and scatter ed broadcast declarations that all grievances would be avenged when the Bulldogs came to Philadelphia. Thomp son, center for the Bulldogs remained at home on account of injuries re- ceived last week. Boyd will perform in his stead. Coach Dale Jones took with him Captain Hawley, Schisler, Boone, Williams, Boyd, Caviness, Charles and Hart.
 State Normals winning team en- trained this morning for Little Rock. In Little Rock College the Bears to- night will meet the toughest oppoSi- tion on their schedule The Catholics have been winning with great regu- larity, and against some fairly strong teams. Dan Estes has with him Cap tain Cox, McGinn, Mabry, Treadwell, Adams, Jones and Fore.
 The schedule for the conference tournament has not been completed. However, four games will be played in the afternoon during it's progress and two games at night. An admis sion of 50 cents will be charged for afternoon or night. Will Mitchell, former Little Rock high and Texas A. & M. court star, will handle the games as referee. Entrants are State Normal, Little Rock College and the Russellville, Magnolia and Jones' boro Aggies.
 Local sport followers are inclined to underestimate the Jonesboro Ag- gies on account of their recent trip l through the middle west, on which the Farmers lost every game. The Craighea3 men were pitted against some crack court combinations and two of their games were draws when time was up and were finished under extension by agreement. They may prove the sensation of the conference tournament.
 The conference track and field con- tests will be held at Russellville on April 29 under decision of the ex- ecutive committee recently announced.

MAY EXCEED GOAL
 IN SCHOOL DRIVE FUND IS STILL GROWING
Fifty One Additional Subscriptions Tabulated Today Bringing Total
 to $2,937.75 Per Month.

Fifty-one more subscriptions to the fund for the maintenance of the Con- way public schools the remainder of the present session, tabulated up to noon today, brought the total sub- scriptions per month for the four month period to $2,937.75 and the total number of subscribers to 499. The fund, it is practically certain, has already exceeded the quota of $3,000, as there is considerable num- Der of cards that have not yet been turned in and a few sections of the city which were not canvassed until this morning.
 Whatever surplus is raised, how ever, will be more than welcome, as it can be applied to lift part of the burdensome debt, which was about tc squeeze the school out of existence It is intended to continue the canvass until every citizen has had an oppor- tunity to subscribe, and anyone whc has been accidentally overlooked is in, vited to call at any local bank where cards will be found
 Subscriptions tabulated from Sat urday noon until today noon follow the amount opposite each name being a monthly subscription for foul months unless otherwise stated:
