ALICIA BANK ROBBER
 KILLED BY A GUARD
Orvil Reese Tries to Escape From The Tucker Farm
 and Is Shot

Reese, aged 32, serving a life sentence in the penitentiary for murder, committed when Rev W. A. Franks and F. M. Light, a farmer, were killed by Reese and his companions when they attempted to rob the Bank of Alicia last fall, was shot and killed at the Tucker Farm Wednesday morning.
 George Duncan, trusty guard at the farm who shot Reese, told coroner's jury which was empaneled by Justice James Ford that the prisoner attempt ed to attack him, and that he fired in self defense. Duncan was ordered held to the Jeff ferson County Grand Jury, and was taken to Pine Bluff and jailed.
 Reese and another convict named Sittle, while working on the farm about T o'clock this morning made break for liberty. Guards opened fire on the two and Reese surrend- cred, Sittle made circle around the farm with the Ibloodhounds on his trail, and surrendered at the stockade. Reese it is said was given the strap" and put back to work.
 According to Duncan's tes- timony before the coroner's I5ury, Reese started toward him in threatening manner. The guard said he ordered Reese to stop, but that the prisoner continued toward him. Be- lieving the prisoner intended to attack him, obtain possession of his gun and escape, Duncan said he fired.
 The nature of Reese's wounds caused the coroner's s jury to request that Duncan be held for the Grand jury, it is said. Reese was h ot with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Sixteen shots are said to have taken effect in h1s body. Some of the shots ap- peared to have entered from the back, while a local under taker who embalmed the body thisafternoon, and George Mor- ris, a member of the Honorary Penitentiary Commission, who examined it, said that the shots entered underneath the left arm some of them passing entirely through the body.
 Reese's body will be sent to Kansas City for burial at the request of his mother, Mrs. Emma Burgeley.
 Reese and two companions whose names have never been learned, attempted a daylight robbery of the Bank of Alicia on the 2nd day of last Novem- Der. Rev. w. A. Franks and F. M. Light were killed Tn a battle with the bandits in the bank All the robbers es- capped, but Reese was so badly wounded that his companions abandoned him to his fate and he was captured in a farm house where he managed to drag himself after his compan ions left him on the roadside.
 Reese was taken to Little Rock and an opeartion was per formed at the penitentiary hos pital, where for some time Reese lowered between life and death. Upon his reeov- cry he was tried in the circuit court at Walnut Ridge and wa7 found guilty and given a life sentence in the penitentiary.

THE WHITE PASS COMPLAINT.

Generally speaking cannot object the pro- test of the White Pass and Yukon Route people for their chagrn the fact that the Government Rail road from Seward Fairbanks is very seriously threatening it's income and thereby it's exist ence, Government competition with private enter prise is usually disasterous to the private institution It. turns economic conditions topsy-turvy, and ire quently destroys capital that invested in good faith, and which has rendered valuable service in the development of country often at great risk And the White Pass and Yukon Route in it's day has rendered great service to the people of the Yukon and Alaskan interior countries
 However, the Alaska Railroad will render service b the people of the Alaskan that the White Pass unable to perform. The development of Alaska demanded means of transportation that would continue throughout the year. The White Pass could deliver freight and passengers into Fair banks, for instance for but four months in the year It was compelled to charge high tariff for it limited to these four months in which enough to maintain it's organization and yield on it's investment throughout the year. The conditions were such that the Interior of Alaska would have be- come practically useless the White Pass-or any one else. The building of railroad from the coast to the Yukon waterway thousand miles or so below the Canadian line was necessity to great American territory for the of the people who live there those who are to come there and those who do business with them.

CANADIANS COME TO UNITED STATES.

Notwithstanding that Canada showed a smaller growth between 1911 and 1921 than between 1901 and 1911 there was marked increase in immigra- ton in that country The behind this is that Canada has not held her home born people. There is tremendous escapement of Canadians the border into the Unitel States is declared by those who have been investigating that the very small gain in the Maritime Provinces (there actual loss in Prince Edwards lsland) is nearly wholly due to emigration to the United States. And the emigration to the United States from Quebec, Ontario, and the Western Provinces has been large. The figures show that while there has been large immigration from the United States during the last twenty years it has been more than offset by the Canadians who have become Americans.

TO MAR ST. MlCHEL'S BEAUTY
Sitting Up of the Bay ls Causing
Much Anxiety to the People
of Normandy.

The steady sitting up of the Bay of
ST. Michel is a cause of much anx-
iety to the good people Of Normandy.
1t threatens to spoil the beauty of the
famous Mont ST. Michels, which at
present is linked to the mainland only
by an artificial causeway. Formerly
the Mont, which III the course of the
centuries has been by turns a Druid
ical shrine, Benedictine abbey, and
a state prison, and which, since its
restoration by Violet-le-Duc, Is jea-
lousy preserved as an historical
monument, was as inaccessible al
high tide, except by boat, as it's Corn
ish counterpart, st. Michael's Mount
still is. But the causeway enabled a
light railway to run to the very foot
of the Mont, and this causeway IL
stated by experts to be one of the
great causes of the sitting UP, which
it is predicted, will eventually make
the Mont just part of the ordinary
cOastline.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
MANUELITo, THE GREAT CHIEF
OF THE NAVAJO
a.. Elmo Scoff lpdfsoa

TT HAPPENED at Fort Defiance
L Ariz. One issue day" a crowd Of
NavajoeS gathered around the corral
looking hungrily at the steers-big,
rangy Ionghorns which would soon be
fresh beef for them Unnoticed by
anyone q little Indian boy slipped un-
der the fence and toddled out into the
Enclosure.
In an instant big steer had trotted
out from the herd and. shaking its
long. sharp horns. advanced upon the
tiny figure, who curiously watched the
animals approach. There was a mo-
ment of Mortified suspense-then tall,
straight Indian jumped from the cor
raj fence and in a few flying leaps had
placed himself between the baby and
the oncoming steer. There he stood
At the same instant the steer charged.
The animal came on with the force
of q locomotive. At the last second
1t stopped and stood swinging its head
back and forth with the points Of the
sharp horns just missing the breast
of the Indian. But the erect figure did
not finch. Not a muscle moved. The
steer was puzzled. Evidently deciding
that 1t was not worth while TO bump
his head on something which might be
a post, the longhOrn turned and trot-
ted back to his fellows.
AS the Indian walked back to the
corral fence with the baby on his
shoulder there was no agitation in his
manner. For was ne not ManuelitO
war chief Of the Navajo? He gained
this position in 1855 while the Navajoes
were a constant terror to the early
settlers of Arizona. Several expedi
tons sent against them had failed, but
in 1868 Col Kit Carson, the famous
scout, whipped them so thoroughly
that they never again were guilty OF
any organized hostility towards the
whites.
After that Manuelito, the war chief
became a peace chief, and in 1872 he
was appointed captain of the native
police force organized to keep order OF
the reservation. Once when a number
of young bucks were planning an out
break Manuelito called them into cOun
Gil. Picking up a handful Of sand h

of sand are in my hand? There ar

They did not, for Manuelito's symbo
