Children suffering from in
testinal worms are cross, rest
less and unhealthy. There are
other symptoms, however. If
the child is pale, has dark
rings under the eyes, bad
breath and takes no interest
in play, it is almost a certainty
that worms are eating away
its vitality. The surest remedy
for worms is Whites Cream

ESCAPES KILLED

The three condemned mul-
dere-s, Emory Connell, Eulos
and Joe Sullivan, who escaped
from the state penitentialy at
Little Rock last Friday, we've
apprehended at Redfeld 2d
miles sout hof Little Rock,
Tuesday afternoon. After
their sensational escape with a
peudo-pistol made of wood
from the walls they drove
to Granite Mountain, nine
miles from Little Rock, aban-
doned the car and walked back
to the city. Procuring a sKiff.
the three men started down the
Arkansas river. Suffering from
cold and hunger they aban-
doned the boat near Redfe'd,
where they bU-glarized a store
and secured food and clothing.
The trio started on foot soIth-
ward. During the previous AZ
ternoon Connall had accident
ally shot Joe Sullivan through
the wrist, severing an artery.
Sullivan lost so much blood
that his strength was gone and
he fell on the road side. His
companions made every effort
to carry their comrade, but the
task was too great and they
left him alone. Later JUe
Sullivan staggered into Red
field and surrendered. lie con
fesged and gave informati9n
that led TO the location Of Con-
nell and Eulos Sullivan. A
large posse was organized and
went in pursuit of the two fell
ons. About two miles ort Of

of the party haG gone into the
woods searching fo- the men.
Two of the posse were i'm the
rear and approaching pine
brushpile, when a shot from
that source rang out. Smoke
revealed the hiding place of
the desperate men and the
possemen opened fire on the
brush pile. Others came quick
ly and a thorough bar-age was
fired into the nest. The firing
was returned at intervals, but
the only casualty was a news
paper reporter shot in the
heel. Firing ceased from the
brush and the posse rushed it,
finding the desperadoes rid
dleG with bullets. The bodies
were carried to Little Rock.
Joe Sullivan is suffering
from pneumonia, loss Of blood
and exposure. He is not eX-
pected to recover. If he does,
however, he will be executed in

M'NAB TEST FOR
OIL DUE SOON
CreU at NichOI No. 1 N)U
Making NeID HOIe-BGii-
er In King No. 2.

Gas showed up strong, ac-
cording to an authenticated re-
port reaching this office, when
drillers at the McNab test
well, 10 miles to the southwest,
used the bailer in the hole the
first of the week preparatory
to cementing for a test. A re-
port also reached this city that
considerable oil had shown up,
but this was denied in a phone
message received at this office.
The crew at the McNab wo!l
stopped drilling at 2207 feet
about two weeks ago. Consid-
cradle gas was showing up
from the hard lime formation
in which the drill was working
and a test was ordered. Ce-
menting of the 6-inch casing
will be accomplished this week,
it is said, and the plug will be
drilled within ten days from
the time it is cemented.
The drill reached bottom at
the Nichol No. l test, l mile
northwest of town, the first of
the week and considerable new
hole has been made. The
depth is now something ove-
1900 feet and, with the ma
chinery running smoothly, the
next four weeks might witness
completion Of the hole to the
Tycap producing sand-This
sand has not yet been reached
by any test in this vicinity ex-
cept at the Tycap, which was
lost, and parties at interest
are anxiously awaiting the
time when this sand is pene-
trated and tested.
Adding to the difficulties
confronting the crew at the
King No. 2 test, 2 miles east
of town, was the loss of a
bailer in the hole Thurs a
morning. The crew had been
using a milling tool to dispose
of what is supposed to be a
collapsed joint of casing, in
the bottom of the hole. When
this became dulled and ineffect-
ual, a device requiring use of
the Star rig was substituted.
While the bailer was being
used yesterday, it became de-
tached from the sand line and
was lost. The crew is now
awaiting the necessary tool to
recover the bailer and this will
mean another delay of several
days. The bailer, however, can
be fished out with little diff
Guilty, according to President
Thurman of the Columbus
Hope Oil Company.
Progress of several feet
through the obstruction in the
bottom of this we'll has been
made and the drilling company
is hopeful of having it all out
soon, so they can begin drill
ing new hole.
Recent unprecedented ad-
vances in Arkansas crude
should, if possible, further
speed up the oil tests now go
ing down in this county and be
an incentive for the starting
of others.

Security for Policybolders.
Because of CaliforLia's stringent in.
surance laws, which make the stock
holders of the Pacific Mutual individ-
ually and personally liable for their
proportionate share Of the debts and
liabilities of the company, there is no
company in America more secure for
policyholders.
The Pacific Mutual has made rapid
growth in the last decade, yet has al
ways adhered faithfully to the prac.
tees and principles of safe underwrit-
ing and has conducted its business
along conservative lines.
The Pacific Mutual is deservedly
popular in its home state and is one of
the leaders in volume of business in
California. The company in its long
experience has built up and perfected
an organization which is complete and
in every department and is
filling an increasingly large place in
the insurance field.

HIS CLAIM PAPERS
Hornberger, Beckman &
Company Meets Un-
usual Success.

Perfect service for agents and policy
holders requires the right sort of a
company and the right sort of state
managers. Hornberger, Beckmann 4
Company have succeeded in perfecting
this combination as state managers
for the West Coast Life Insurance
company of San Francisco.
On account of their long standing
rep tation for superior service in all
branches of insurance business, the
West Coast Life Insurance company
some four years ago offered its state
managership for Texas to Hornberser,
Beckmann & Company. Before &C
cepting this trust, they investigated
the methods of paying claims of the
company from every side and only
after having assured themselves OF
being able TO give their agents and
customers the very best policies, the
best service in taking care of policies
and the prompt settlement of honest
claims did they enter into perma-
nent arrangement.
In combination with the usual life
insurance policy, West Coast Life's
contracts provide added benefits and
service through the total and perman-
ent disability clause and through its
accident and health protection. The
West Coasts perfect protection policy
has been planned to provide funds in
the event of financial embarrassment
due to accident and illness, old age
or death. This policy contains all
the standard clauses as to cash and
loan values and automatic extended
insurance.
When notified of a death of their
policyholders. Hornberger, Beckmann
& Company Immediately sends one #
their representatives to aid the bene-
ficiary in completing claim papers.
AS soon as these papers are completed
the claims are paid by the company.
Hornberger, Beckmann & Company's
especial purpose is to render this
without any delay or cost.

Founded i'm 1868.
The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company of California was founded
in 1868 by Leland Stanford and his
associates. These far-sighted western
pioneers, who had already gained fame
by building the first railroad across
the Rocky Mountains-the final link
in the chain connecting the West with
the East-saw the opportunity for ser
vice to a fast-growing community
which only a Life Insurance Company
can give, and on January 2, 1868, the
company which was afterward to gain
fame as 1.-THE Giant of the Pacific"
came into corporate existence. On
January 3, 1924, the company cele-
brated its fifty-sixth birthday.
The Pacific Mutual began business
in a small office in Sacramento. moved
its headquarters to San Francisco in
1881, where it lost its home office
building in the great fire of April,
1906. It then transferred its head Of
