MENA CASE FOR RETRIAL
Supreme Court Reverses and Remands
 s. I. Woods vs. T. K. Jones.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.--(Special to The Starr Supreme Court reversed and remanded case of s. I. Wood yer sus T. R. Jones.
 The above mentioned case attracted much attention at the last term of court, and grew out of proposed deal by which T. R. Jones and others were to secure the s. l. Wood store. A for felt of $1,000 had been posted by the purchasers, but when the inventory was made, it is said the stock in- voiced more than Jones and others had agreed to invest, and they de- clared the deal off. Mir. Wood sued for the forfeit money, $1,000, as dam ages to his store during the days closed for invoicing Judge Steel de- cided that neither party was entitled to the forfeit, from which decision Mr Wood took appeal to the supreme court. The case will doubtless come up for a new trial at the April term of court.

DECLARE SHIFT IN
 WORLDS BALANCE
Recent Earthquake Result of Momen- tary Hesitation When Millions of Tons of Rock Slipped in Bed of
 Pacific Ocean.

New York, Feb. 1.-The earth, in its dizzying whirl thru space, got off center for few moments yesterday and shifted it's poles" or axes to fit the new center of rotation.
 Then, in order that it might not be travelling on fiat wheel" so to speak, a few million tons of solid rock, somewhere off the western coast of the United States, in the bed of the Pacific ocean, "slipped7 a milli- meter and half to even things up.
 Exact Location Still Mystery.
 This is the manner in which pro- fessors of geology and seismographic observers account for the violent earth vibrations which demoralized instruments on observation turnout this country yesterday. Thus far the exact "slip" has not been determined, altho observers from Washington, D. C., to Berkeley, Calf, agree that it probably was a few hundred miles off the mouth of the Columbia river.
 The absence of record disruption of the visible surface of the earth or of the huge tidal waves which usually radiate from the scene of an earth quake lead the observers to believe the slip occurred miles below the bed of the ocean
 Earth 'sReadiusting" Itself.
 No doubt the earth was readjust- ing itself," said Prof. J. J. Lynch, seismographic observer at Fordham university.
 About every so often the earth be- comes upset, goes off center, changes It's axes and usually about the same time there is violent earthquake, a slipping of miles of strata, and we go merrily on again."
 The Andes, along the Pacific coast in South America, and the chain of rocky deformations which join the two continents disappearing into the sea of Southern California, are con- tinually lifting, falling and slipping"
 A "Lost" Quake in 1920.
 Many of these disturbances take place in mid-ocean, the only visible evidence being the zig-zag lines trail ed by a seismograph hundreds of miles distant. One of the most not able examples of such a paroxysm oc- cured in December, 1920, and scien- tists still are cudgeling their brains to account for the Host" earthquake. Its source of origin never has been established. altho it was of such pro portions as to shatter instruments thousands If miles away. and to send a tidal wave circling the earth.

|Sergl. William s. Small, Wounded and Gassed in France, on Walk of 3.00O Miles to Escape TT. B.
 Visits in Mena.

A health hike of nearly 5000 miles is the explanation of Sergt. William S. Sn1all's brief visit in Mena Thurs day. Veteran of overseas service, the vnssne soldier says he is engaged in walking from Washington, D. C., to Yuma. Ariz., in an effort to regain the strength and health he lost while serving with the A. E. F. to make the world safe for democracy. And the rennrkable thing of the long, long trail awinding across the continent, is that Sergeant Small says he is doing il on the $8 monthly compensation he receives from the government.
 Sergeant Small walked in from the enzt Thursday and called upon Com nander c. B. Wilson of the American Legion. The walking soldier says he belongs to the post at Houston, Tex. and during his hike calls and pays his respects to the head of every post of Lneipnnaires found on the way. The former service man did not ask for hAlp but explained the object of his long walk and expressed confidence hs was able to carry on to the end.
 Absorbing to the story he related in Mena. Sergeant Small was in the reg uIafs when the World war began As signed to the First division he went 0verseas and spent 34 months ir France and Germany. During the Ar gonne offensive on October 27 he was gasaed and was in the hospital when ; the axmistice was signed. Previously he had been wounded by shrapnel After Serving with the army of occu- {. patton in Germany, the young soldier wae returned to the United States and mustered out of service.
 Having no family and his health not being of the best Sergeant Small de cided that an outdoor life was what he needed. Fearing that he was threat ened with the dreaded ''T. B." he de. cided 10 go to the dry climate in Ari- zona. The usual form of travel be. ing Impossible on $8 per month. hs decided to walk. The young man de, ciares he left Washington on Novem.

 Bill Kimbcrlin Recoyers.

John Joplin was a business visitor in Smithville Thursday and while there was informed that the last of the persons exposed to smallpox at Octavia was to be released from quar- antine that day. Only one death from the contagion occurred at Octavia, that of Paul White, county commits sioner, and strange as it may seem, none of those who cared for him in his last illness were affected by the dreaded scourge Mir. Joplin was all so informed that Bill Kimberlin, who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Carl Parks, had almost entirely recovered from the wound he received in the deadly duel with the officer.

Adjusters Decide Claim on Opera

After inspecting the ruins of the old opera house block, the adjusters sent to Mena Friday by the insurance companies promptly decided the claim should be paid in full. There was only $5.OOo insurance on the building, and it is apparent the amount will not equal the loss. Adjustment was also piano at the Lyric and the fixtures at the former Burtch confectionery. Joseph Kalavado, owner of the burned building, is still in Texas, and has re- ceived notice of the fire. but has not signified when he will come to Mena and arrange for rebuilding.
