WALKER BOARDING HOUSE is
AGAIN BOMBED AND TERRIFIC
BLAST DOES SERIOUS DAMAGE

ton of the work it had been called
to perform. Those taking issue
with the Missouri Pacific official
referred to the guard on duty at the
Walker house, alleging that he was
an ex-convict, having been sent to
the penitentiary for murder and
afterward paroled. The railway Of
ficer retorted by saying he could
not get preachers to do the guard
duty and again made reference TO
what he expressed himself as be-
.lieving to be an improper line up
of the Paragould police force.
The railway officer stated that it
was unsafe for workers at the shops
to come to the city to buy merchan-
disc or come upon other missions.
He made the statement that IL they
came armed they would be searched
and arrested, and otherwise intimi-
dated. Speakers on behalf OF the
unions discredited the statements adj
vanced by the visiting railway spe-
cial officer, particularly that refer
ence he, uttered in regard to the
might policeman who is former
shop employee and went out on the
strike, TO the effect that he may have
been communicating information to
Outsiders. Members of the crafts
deny that statement and stated that
the Trades Council of the American
Federation here was the first to Of
fer a reward, amounting to $4,000,
for the apprehension and conviction
of the bombers. This Fart Of the

discussion then was brought to an
abrupt end by the chair
Sheriff Stepp announced that he
would pay 100000 reward out OF
his own funds for the apprehension
of the guilty bombers, and that he
was ready to surrender his office
the first of the year because of some
criticisms OF his service that have
reached his ears. The suggestion
offered by the sheriff was objected
to with the expressed assurance that
no criticism of his officials duties
had animated from the better citi-
zenship. 1t is remembered that Mr..
Stepp is serving as sheriff at a salary
of approximately $4,000 per year
and that he spends practically every
cent of that amount in the discharge
of his duties. He will not be per-
mitted to pay $4,000 reward of his
own funds in the prosecution of the
bombing cases and his proposal to
resign as sheriff very apparently did
not meet with the approval of those
present at the mass meeting.
just what line Of action will be
followed in running down the bomb
ers 1t has not been made public. 1t
is very evident that the community
is thoroughly wrought UP over the
state of affairs that have developed
as a result of the commission of the
outrages, some persons going so far
with their suggestions as to express
a desire for the governor OF the
state to send troops here and place
the town under martial law. The
latter course, however, is not be-
lieved to be necessary with the con-
ccrted effort of the community di-
rected into the case.

heavenly phenomenon not witnessed for many years.
One of these visitors is said certainly to be new
one 1t called Baades comet and II it ever flashed
across earths range of vision it was long before any
astronomical records made. The second guest,
noted recently by the Harvard observatory Pefrne
said to be making its first reappearance for Two genera

Grand For the third, there seems to be some Dues
tion whether old friend brand new one

Skeellerup who generously gave it his cognomeh.
Later observations of its action and position seem 70
indicate that it NAV be the same visible in 1892
and then named the Brooks comet in honor OF us
discoverer. In the of simpl1fied speilng II Is
to be hoped this last opinion holds.
The clear skies of winter offer excellent oppor-
tunity for studying the heavenly bodies. The naked

FIRST TELEPHONE EXCHANGES
USED NAMES, NOT NUMBERS

son companies in the seventies hired
boys, preferably thick-shinned, to
handle the calls. They stood in a
row along the board. When q call
came in a boy would yell at anoth-
er down the board: Give me Old
Man Hawkins!' The calls had to be
crossed between the boards. At
first there were no numbers. Names
were used.
Since there were only boys in
the exchange. subscribers were free
to express themselves.
Competition was so keen that
in Dayton, where | entered the
business, we used to install phones
free. The offer from the Edison
company was: Put a telephone in
your office, and we'll put one in
your home free" said Secretary
Mckinney.
