The report printed last week that
this section would not ship a car of

fifty cars of peaches this ^ear, pro
viding no further cold snap occurs.
Many of the growers have examined
their orchards, and all those on the
high ground have plenty of peachs s,

COMPANY A NOW AT HOMi;
I.oca' Co npany of Arkansas Guard?
\r rived Home Early Saturday
Mornin} — Ear'ly Arrival Preven|*
ed Cari 'ini: Out of Reception
Program -All in Splendid Con*
dition
Company A is at home.
After eif; it months of service ml
mobilization camp, and border ser
vice at Dei >inp', N. M . the local
t. cs again trod home soil. The
hardships ai <M difficulties the boys
are reported 0 have undergone have
failed to le any distinguishing
marks that are d.scern:ble from
outward appe trances, but. almost all
the boys are n perfect physical con
dition. and t ieir service seems to
have improvet them in all respects.
Out side ‘ f o. dfor two members of
he company, ho have sore throats,
they are all “1 t-as fiddles."
The boys hi ve had eght months
of training in every phase of the
war game, ex- opt actual flighting,
and from their remarks and maneu
vers t is app rCnt that they are
" hamping r he its" so to speak for
some a tual ! st ’"vice. As some of
the boys express their home-coming:
•V\ • arc here’f( r about thirty days
\ is;t, and hen we’re gone again,
and when we go, we'll sure be a long
t.me gene. It’s lurmany this time,
A special train carrying the local
company, the Fayetteville company,
The Bentonville company, and tne
Second Regiment bat <i passed throu
gh Springdale Satur lay morning
shortly after three 'clock, and on
account of the curliness of the hour,
Mayor Smith, and hs reception
committee, were unal.ee to-c arry out
their portion of the program—and
the boys made themselves at home
without their formal address of
welcome from the mayor. About
the first thing the. boys wanted when
they arrived was something to eat
-i—ami this seems to be a habit
wit!) the boys, they’re always hun
gry- -and' by the t me they had
routed a local restuaranl man, and
secured their breakfast the early
riser was just getting to town.
Ail day Saturday the Jboys were
busy greeting home folks, and tell
ing their friends of the Amts on the
border, and at six o'-gock they gath
ered in the Armory Hall, from
whence they marched t<> the Audi
torium, where the “thicker, supper,”
was served by the ladies of Spring
dale.
A short address was delivered by
Mayor Smith at the Auditorium also
a few remarks by Rev. Philips. It
is impossible to mention all the
good things that the ladies hud pre
pared for the boys, but the mere
fact they were seated at six o’ clock,
and did not conclude the feast until
seven fifteen, is ample evidence
that the *feast was immense.
And the boys were not busy rehears
ing their border service either,
they were busy eating.
After the parents of the boys and
their friends were invited, and a sec
ond table served. The supper was
served by the young ladies of
Springdale, who wore the national
colors as hair ribbons; the Audi
torium was appropriately decorat
ed for the occassions, the Stars and
Stripes predominating. Music thro
ughout the supper was furnisbod by j
the Victor Sailer orchestra, playing
the national airs, and stirring over
tures and marches.
The entertainment for the boys
immediately followed th supper, and
the program as printed last week
was carried out, with the exception
of the addition of Hon. \\ i!s» n Card
well. who made a short address.
Mrs. Ownbey made a r.cat presenta
tion speech in connect; n with the
awarding of the medal -. which was
responded to by Capta.n Ownbey, in
well chosen words.
Loud applause greeted the state
ment by Captain Ownbey that he
had been informed by Commander
den:;, of the camp at Denting, X.
M., that Comapny \. was the best
company in the Seco: d Regiment,
officers as well as men. Captain
Ownbey called attentior to thi fact
that Company A had been almost
without commissioned otf eers since
the arrival at iteming, in view id the
fact that Lieuts. Retross and Brog
don had been on detached service, a
complement to both oificers in that
they should be selected tor such ser
vice, and their sele-ton was made
with the view of :.ie ability they had
already shown in the service. Cap
tain Ownbey also complimented his
Sargeants Dixon and Hough, calling
particular attention to the unusual
amount of work that had been thrown
on their shoulders by the company be
ing without comissumed officers. He
praised the work of these two men
most highly. He openly compliment
ed his men for their service, cordial
ly thanked them for i, and left the
impression with all the large crowd
present, that Ute relation- between
the company anti the oft ice rs had
been most cordial at all times, and
that 'future calls for service would
find Company A ready for duty.

VIOLATED NtW ALTO LAW
Mark Sanders First Violator of New
Traffic Ordinance—Kan Without
Tail-light Burning—Draws Fine of
SI end Costs.
And it’s being enforced.
That is the new automobile law is
making itself felt amonjr the auto
drivers of the city.
Tuesday evening Mark Sanders,
who drives a Ford car, in company
with his wife, and the editor and the
editor’s wife attended the picture
show. Starting home the tar was
stopped on Emma Avenut. right
under the glare <.f the electric lights,'!
by Marshal (lover, who wondered why
the red light in the rear was not burn
ing- It was cordially explained that
the oil in the lamp had turned to j
water, anti refused to stay at the
proper illumination required under
the new law.
The party was allowed to proceed
'norm ward, and Wednesday morning
Mr. Sanders, submitted to Mayor
Smith and received a fine of $1 anti i
all costs, making the entire bill ;
amount to $4.SO. Th s was the first,
offender hailed before the mayor, anti
the ordinance has been in force since |
last Friday, ample evidence that the
local owners and drive's are paying i
attention to the new traffic ordin- j
a nee, and it’s provisions-but are
they ?
Wednesday afternoon, the editor,
the same fellow who witnessed the ;
first transgression of the raw, accord- 1
;ng to police courts records, stood on j
the streets of Springdale, and in less
than thirty minutes counted five i
automobiles standing on the streets in j
v iolation of the new ordinance. Most i
of the violations were due to the fact ’
that the license numbers were not
displayed. One car hud no license
plates at all. Another had a Texas
displayed in the rear none in front;
another had license tag in front, none
behind; another had a license tag be
hind, none in front—and the ordin
ance says:
“Thw owner of • ach motor vehicle
shail have a number corresponding
with the number of the certificate
of registration -aid number to be
conspicuously displayed upon the front
and back of each motor vehicle
when on the streets of Springdale.”
The News is highly in favor of the
rigid enforcement of the new auto
law, we believe it should be enforced
to protect the citizens of Springdale,
and we expect to lend all publicity
possible to the enforcement of
same. However, we do not intend
tnat violations shall go on day after
day, without attention. If it becomes
necessary The News will aid the of
ficers in the enforcement of the new
ordinance by publishing each we«*k a
list of the numbers of the various
cars violating the ordinance.
Again the ordinance places the
speed limit at fifteen miles per hour
in the business seejtion—and some
cars are easily making twenty-five—
we know who they are too. Again, the
ordinance provides that no car shall
turn a corner at a greater speed then
six miles per hour, and a signal shall
be given before turning—and some
cars haven’t any warning signal, or i
they are clogged up and never used,
and some go around the corners with
throttle wide open.
Let’s enforce the auto law rigidly.

NOTICE—The time limit

NOTICE!
To Auto Owners and Drivers
I wish to say that the City Council at their last
regular meeting passed an ordinance, known as the
Traffic Ordinance, regulating the use, speed, etc., of
autos in the city limits. I hope all owners and
drivers will strictly conform to the ordinance, and
save themselves the embarassment of being arrested
and having to pay a fine.
I do not want to be dictatorial or contentious in
the matter, but quite a lot of complaints have been
filed with me, and there is nothing left to do but en
force the ordinance, which will he done regardless
of whom it may be.
I also wish to state that we have an ordinance*
covering all kinds of conveyances for it ire, such as
omnibus, hack, auto, etc., used for transportation,
passengers, baggage, etc., in the city, and that a lic
ense of $10.00 per year is required of all persons
running such conveyances. After this notice all per
sons will be expected and required to procure license
at once, and if not, will be subject to arrest and fined.
I hope everyone will pride themselves in seeing
that the i dinances are adhered to strictly.
. Very respectfully,
L. A. SMITH, Mayor

FAMILY HOW IS BAD AFFAIR
Sor. and ! ather Have Bloodly Battle
When Father Attempts to Act as
Mediator Between Husband and
Wife—Son Now in Jail.
J wo .'ill ;,: 01 stove woo l, tour
r<n h i k.-t knife, ansi a stool d**ill,
about tw.-nty-ofur inches long were
th« principal weapons used in a hard
fight tally U 'sinesc.ay morning be
tween Henry Phenix, of Cushing,
Okla., and his soon, R. P. Phenix, of
this place. The fight occuring at
the home of the son, a short distance
south of town.
The elder Phenix is now at his son’s •
home with three knife wounds in his
body, h s face scratched, and his head
badly skinned. Two of the knife
thrusts are near his left lung, one of
which penetrated the lung, am? is ser
ious. the other is not so bad. The
other stab ;s in the back. Mrs. Henry
Phenix, mother of the bov also be
came mixed in the melee, and has two
knife wounds in the back neither of
which are serious.
The son is now confined in the
county jail at Fayeteville. 11 is head
has four bad gashes, cut by blows
from a stick of stove wood, his left
a pm is cracked, caused by a blow from
the heavy steel drill; he is bruised
over the shoulders, and hands.
The family are comparative
strangers to this section, the son com
ing here only last fall from Oklahoma,
ami taking charge of the farm pur
chased by his father. He is married,
has a wife and two children, a son
aged two, an da girl one year old.
The father arrived in Springdale
only a few lays ago on a visit to his
son. He is a prosperous merchant at
Cushing, Ok! a., and he and wife came
here for a brief visit, to look after
the drilling of a well on the farm,
and the setting out of some apple
trees.
Had it not been for the timely ar
rival of Gregory, who was drilling
the well on tin place early Wednesday
morning, the trouble might have end
ed fatally, a both the son and father
were badly hurt when he arrived, but
the son wa chasing the father down
the road carrying the steel drill. The
older Phenix was placed in the hack
of Mr. Gregory, and hurried to the
doctors office where his wounds were
dressed.
While seated in the doctors office,
and suffering intensely from the knife
wound in his lung the father attemp
ted to give a version of the trouble.
It seems that the son, and his wife
were in the house, and were quarrel
ing. The wife called to the elder
Phenix to help her, and after she had
called twice he hurried to her aid. He
tried to reason with his son, and the
son grew angry. After scuffling
around for a time, the father finally
over powered the young man and held
him on the floor. After gaining the
promise from the son that he would
not continue the abuse he was allow
ed to get up. No sooner had he done
so than he started the trouble anew.
The mother attempted to part the
two, and her knife stabs in tne back
were the result.
Officers hurried to the home, and
the son was brought to town where
his wounds were dressed, only a thin
partition in the doctors office sep
erating the son and father. The son
accused the father of striking him
over the head with a stick of wood,
and striking him over the arm with
a steel drill.
Warrants were sworn out for both
father and son, the former charged
with assault and battery, the latter
with assault with intent to kill.
The father was released on bond,
and the son sent to Fayetteville. The
hearing will not be held until the
fathei mproves. At last reports the
father . as resting nicely# also the
mother, also the son, and nothing
mort -eriiius was anticipated.
The father was fifty-six years of
age, the s< n thirty.
