CAUSE OF THE BIG
 FIRE IS IN DOUBT
That Defective Flue or Wiring Was Responsible Is Questioned-H. M. Frederick Taken to Texar
 kama Hospital.

Doubts have been expressed that the cause of Friday nights big fire in the old opera house block was due to either defective fue or electric wiring. Whether these doubts will be verified is a matter to be determined later.
 It is not doubted that the fire start ed on the second floor of the building and in one of the rooms used by the Mena Howitzer company. This room is over the Lyric theatre. It is not questioned that Robert Norris and son, Oliver, Boyd Lafiin and George Petty, IT,, were the first ones to ac- tually enter this room.
 Young Norris is credited with bursting open the door. Messrs. Norris and Laflin both state positive ly that when they first entered the room, fires were burning in three different places and they are unable to understand how all three blazes could have started from the same source. They with others question the statement that a bad flue or de- fective wiring caused the fire, but of fer no other cause.
 H. M. Frederick, who was so se- verely injured Friday night as the re- suit of fall, was taken Monday morning to Texarkana, where an X-ray will be made of his broken hip at Michael Meagher hospital. He was accompanied to Texarkana by his brother, Duke Frederick, and W. E. Bell.
 The order of the board of health that the front walls of the burned building be protected against falling was carried out Monday morning when M. A. Stratton had Bob Gore and helpers place braces in several locations. No word has been re- ceived from Owner Kalavoda and nothing further will be done to the ruins until he comes or sends mes sage.
 The list of losers in Friday nights bg blaze is incomplete without the name of L. E. Burtch. What MT. Burtch's loss will be is problematical and will be settled likely when the in- surance adjuster comes. He had his bakery outfit stored in the rear of the Mena Grill and carried insurance of $1 900 on it with the Mcna Insurance Agency. Fire did not reach the prop erty but lots of water did.

Picked Up at the Il. r. Gipson Sale
 (Bv Joe Lewis)

v
 Col. E. D. Hutson, the auctioneer, was at his best and cried the sale off iu less than 40 minutes Everything sold well One old mule brought $45,
 Sheriff Thornton and w. l. Green of Mena attended the sale Mir. Thornton is administrator for the Gipson property of which now con- sists of something near 800 acres of good land. It is beautiful place with nice slope in front of the house all covered with oak shades
 Mir. Gipson died in 1920 and the large west room he always occupied looks natural And with the large phatograph of him that hangs on the north wall near the bed he always occupied causes those who knew him to almost feel his presence. And he was largely known all over the western part of Arkansaa among we'll posted adults for the great hand he took as U. s. marshall in rounding up wildcatters and moonshiners dur ing the time of Judge Parker of For Smith made such name for himself. He was closely associated in those days with Sam Minor and Bill CantreI of Oklahoma, who were two other go-gctting U. S. marshalls. Bob Johnson, once sheriff of Polk county. also helped out materially in this work.
 Mr Gibson bought this place from his father-in-law, Ike Jones, who met tragic death in Old Cove in the year of '77. And as his wife died a good many years ago this leaves the prop erty to be divided among nine ehil- 4fen, girls and one boy. They are Mrs c. II. Johnson, Mrs Harrison Cam, Mrs W T Myers, Mrs. c. A. Lewis, Mrs. Maggie Gibson. Mrs. Donnie Jenkins, Mrs. Bonnie Pool and son. Ike.
 The Gipsons came from Scott coun- " m 4l. Of the several brothers only three are now living. John. inc noted fiddler, of Hatfield: W. ! Gin son of Ringland, Ok, and Lee of Fort Worth. Tex.

THORPE TRIBE
TO HUNT BEARS
OOrang Indians From Marion. Ohio,
to Furnish Excitement at
Cubs Park.

Chicago, Nov. Jim Thorpe's
Oorang Indians of Marion, Ohio.
will be Mere Sunday to face the
Chicago Bears in what is expected
to be the most open played as we'll
as the most picturesque "post-grad-
uate" football Nash of the season.
Running Deer, War Eagle, Thun-
der, Eagle Feather. Down Wind,
and a dozen other Indians from
many tribes hope to give the Bears
a battle they'll long remember.
The Indians do their practicing
at the little town Of La Rue, Ohio,
but their headquarters and park
are at Marion, Ohio, home of Presi-
dent Harding. Many of the Indians
are nationally famous as gridiron
stars. chief among them being Left
Halfback Guyon and Right End
Calac Both of these gridiron mar
wells were with Thorpe on his Cleve-
land team of the National Football
league last fall. They played or
iginally with the Carlisle school, as
did Thorpe.
1t is interesting to note that the
players come from tribes as wide
lv scattered as the Mission and
Flathead of the coast and the Iro-
uuois and Mohican OF the east
The Chippewas predominant on the
squad, however.
