LITTLE HOWARD
CHRISTIAN IS
BADLY INJURED
Four Year Old Son of Frank
Christian Had Left Leg
Severed by Freight Train
Yesterday.
(From Thursdays Daily

howard GUTlStldu. luS lOui SeNh
old son of Frank Christian of South
Second avenue, suffered very
painful accident yesterday afternoon
about four O'Clock when north
bound through freight train on the
Cotton Belt ran over and severed
his left leg about three inches be-
low the knee.
According to the statement of Mr.
James Christian, grandfather of the
family were absent from the home
at the time of the accident. A few
members Of The family weTe attend
ing a cottage prayer meeting held
at the residence of Mrs Howard,
neighbor.
Howard Christian, although liv-
ing within half block of the rail
road tracks, had never been per-
mitted to visit the tracks unless he
was accompanied by an older per-
son. Yesterday afternoon, Howard
was playing with the children of
w. V. Parker, neighbor, in a
wagon bed in the street near the
Paragould Blacksmith Co, located
on West Junction and South Second.
While thus engaged in childish
play, boy approximately fourteen
years of age happened to pass near
the children. The boy was followed
by a dog that was evidently his pos
that the children accompany him
about fifty yards in a southern di
rection on Second street where a
pile of lumber shavings was to be
seen. The children obeyed and all
enjoyed 'frolicsome time in the
shavings.
A north bound through freight
train over the Cotton Belt approach
ed and stopped within few
yards of the children. The four
teen year old youth now suggested
that the crowd attempt to scale
tho sides of the cars by means of
the ladders attached thereto. He
forthwith followed his own sugges-
tion and a moment later the
others began to emulate his
example. According to the grand
father, who gave a report to the
Press this morning the story as it
has been pieced together from
various statements, the children had
climbed up the side of one car and
were, attempting to scale the side
of another Howard caught hold of
the lower ing and was attempting
to swing his weight aboard the
step when the train began to back
slowly and with a slight jerk,
throwing Howard to the ground and
pinning his left leg under the wheels
of the train. The leg was severed
about three inches below the knee.
AS the train moved all the other
members of the crowd began to
run, with the exception of little
Howard At the command of
friend that he hurry and join them
at play in the shavings, Howard
attempted to pull himself up and
walk. This he found was impos-
sble and, while holding his emo
tions in check wonderfully for a
small boy, told friend to tell
his mother that he was hurt.
DR.. r. J. Haley was called and
the lad was taken to the Dickson
Memorial Sanitarium whore the
physicians completed the task of
amputating the leg. At an early

Itluence their acts, after, it was said
IState Bank to have been insolyent
in an examination of the banks af.
fairs on Sept. n, 1920. 1t was also
alleged that Dennis failed to make a
true report of the banks condition
to the banking board, that he and
the governor agreed to the placing
Iof $150,000 of state funds in the
bank and that it would be permitted
to do business.
The Indictment against the gov
ernor and Dennis charged that Den
mis- found the bank insolvent, and
that the two, having power under
the law to determine the solvency
or insolvency of the bank, did un-
lawfully, cOrruptly and feloniously
accept $4,000 as bribe or re-
ward from Reboldt under an agree
ment that the bank would be allow
ed to continue to do business while
in a state of insolvency."
Dennis has admitted receiving the
$25, 900 check, but stated that il
was paid to him for an oil lease
which he sold to Reboldt He also
stated that he gave Gov Robertson
$S,S33.33 of the money as payment
for his share in the lease. This
transaction was made the subject OF
a legislative investigation in 1920
after which the following was said
of the lease:
"Your committee is convinced that
the lease sold by Dennis to Reboldt
was at that time, as they both
know, in condemned territory and
not worth 81 per acre, and that the
sale of the lease to Reboldt, if any
such sale was made, was a pretext
made to cover up a corrupt trans.
action in which Reboldt paid $25,.
600 and in which the governor par.
/ lticipated, to have his bank passed
| without criticism and to permit the
use of $150,000 for the bank"
| In another part of the report tht
committee stated that it found $3.50,
1000 in state funds had been de
posted in the Guaranty State Banl
on Sept, 27, the day Dennis exam
ined it, notwithstanding it wal

over at Siberia or Russia.
Once in the pack there will be lit
tie to do but take observations and
drift. New lands may be discovered
and claimed. Vast mineral deposits,
so valuable that the cost of bringing
them to civilization will not be too
great, may be found. The auxiliary
oil engine Of the Maud will be ST.
lent, but the frigid stiffness of the
undisturbed Arctic will be blasted
by the mighty roar of two airplanes,
which will be assembled ON the ice
once the ship is safely in the pack.
Airplanes to Cross Pole.
Should the ice-pack carry the
Maud within flying distance of the
North Pole the two airplanes will
make a little side trip to the Pole.
No one knows how long such a
journey will take Amundsen be-
lieves that it takes the ice-pack
from three TO five years to cross
the Polar Basin from the Pacific to
the Atlantic.
In all the twenty-five years that
Amundsen has been exploring the
most remote parts of the globe he
has never before conceived such a
journey. Five years in the solitary
stiffness of the ice-pack, which fits
the top of the world like a glisten-
ing nightcap! perhaps seven
years says Amundsen, with a
smile which brings to his eyes a
CLEAN like that which must have
glistened in the eyes of Lief the
Lucky and his Norsemen when they
first set foot on the New England
coast, long before Columbus was
born.
All the men who go on this jour
.ney know that there is the posi-
hility that they may never return.
But, Hammer says, there wifi be no
trouble getting crew. Too many,
indeed, want to go.
Amundsen is fifty yearsa old.
Since boyhood he has been engaged
in exploration. He comes from
hardy Norwegian stock, but, accord
ing to Hammer, his immediate an
cestors We're not explorers.

AMUNDSEN TO MAKE DARING VOYAGE TO
TOP OF WORLD, BENT ON DISCOVERIES
Ship Maud to Get Into Ice
Pack and Then Drift
for Five Years.
tBy international News Service)

(By international News Service)
Seattle, March 22-The most dar
ing voyage ever conceived by man
compare Bile only to the first voyage
OF Columbus or the imagined voy-
ages Of the characters of Jules
Verne, the novelist, will start from
this port early in June.
Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the
South Pole, will set sail, in his 800
foot ship, the Maud, to go over the
itoD Of the world.
The Ncrth Pole will be the only
lst0pping place on the voyage. Two
airplancs will be used to reach the
Pole if, while going over the top of
the world, the Maud should drift in
la current within flying distance,
otherwise it is possible that no eff
fort will he made to reach the Pole.
The voyage of exploration will be
made under the flag of the Kingdom
|of Norway. Lands first seen on the
VII, King Of Norway, who is helping
to finance the expedition
Amundscn recently went to New
York to make final arrangements
for the expedition Meanwhile H. II.
Hammer. his personal representa-
tive in the United States, is here
fitting the Maud for a seyen-year
journey. He said:
Determine How Much Truth.
"Amundsen is going to try to de-
termine just how much truth there
is in the theory that there is an
ocean current which goes over the
the North Pacific ocean have been
found On the other side of the world,
in the Atlantic ocean. This has@led
TO the belief that the whole ice-peak
floats in this current and that a
ship stuck in the ice will be carried
over the top of the world and out of
the ice Cn the other side.''
Amundsen believes that he can go
over the top of the world by getting
into the ice jam and drifting with
the current.
His little ship, the Maud, built es-
pecially for him in Norway is near
ing readiness for the trip. Great
quantities of hard bread are aboard
and, strangely enough, some of the
bread he took with him to the South
Pole. This bread must be moistened
, nj
Thousands of cans of meat, hun
dreds of cans of fruits, jams, jellies,
candles, flour-enough to last seven
years aboard the Maud.
Scientific instruments, which will
help him determine new air cur
rents and new lands, are being in
stalled. Two airplanes from Eng
land are being made ready.
May Take Five Years.
Amundsen says that the trip will
take from three to five years. AL
though the object of his voyage may
carry him far from the North Pole
he is really anxious to reach the
Pole.
"It will be great thing to have
reached both the North Pole and the
South Pole he told Hammer, his
closest associate.
Amundsen, dscoverer of the
South Pole, is no stranger to the
Far North, He spent over year in
the vicinity of the magnetic North
Pole. He, according to Hammer,

Maud Will Head North.
The Maud will head north to the
Arctic. Where the broken shores of
the eternal ice-pack wage an unend-
ing battle with the scarcely warmer
waters of the Arctic seas, the Maud
will nose in, find a safe place, if
possible, among the great chunks
which mark the outer edge of the
solid pack, and there wait to be car

When the ship has entered the
pack the propeller will be- lifted.
The ship has been especially de-
signed to permit this, so that, once
on the other side, the journey to a
port may be made under power if
necessary.
If the ice-pack, as vast as conti-
nent, is carried by a current, as
Amundsen believes, it is possible
that the ship will safely drift across
the Polar Basin, over the top of the
world from the Pacific to the Allan
tic. No one can tell where the
Maud, if she tgoes over the top, -
will emerge from the ice-pack. Per

CELEBRATION CONCLUDED;
 VISITORS BACK TO WORK

The Nenana celebration was prot to a close on Tuesday with an en- tire day devoted 10 a varied pro- gram, commencing with patriotic ex- ercises in the forenoon, track events on A street during the afternoon and water races and a dance in the evening. One of the big features of the day was the auto race, III which Frank Teufel, with his farm model Ford, carried of the honors. Billy Coghill was a close second with his delivery model and Mike Cooney, with his hotel bus, finished third. The George Rich car sprang a leak in one of the tires and finished at the rear end of the procession.
 There was a large crowd on the street throughout the sports and the enjoyment of the day was general and the events keenly contested.
 The celebration was brought 10 a grand finale with an open air dance at the tennis court, the affair being very largely attended and very much enjoyed.
 Visitors from the various camps along the line south of Nenana, left for home yesterday morning on special trains, and the railroad work in all departments has re- sumed it's normal pace again.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the original plans of the committee were upset by the failure of the An, chorage ball team to make its ap- pearance, and by the further fact that weather conditions were not the best for celebrating, the Nenana celebration probably was fully as successful as any held in the terri. tory. Rain completely spoiled the Fourth al Anchorage, and Fair banks lost it's baseball feature a; the result of rain. That town also had the misfortune of being disap pointed by the non-arrival of 1t; scheduled aerial stunt.
