Enock F. Koonz,
Foliner Editor of the Democrat,
Writes Entertainingly from
Ft,Smith of His Visit, After
Touching upon Affairs in
Baca County.
Pi. Smith, Ark , 1-25, ’l6.
Mr. Editor: —
Complying with your courte
ous request, I am writing for
the Herald. This may be sur
prising to some readers, in view
of the fact that circumstances
and condition!: in times past have j
caused the Herald to say some I
Miicoinplimint&ry things about'
me. j
Permit me to say, however, 1
that I have far more respect for 1
the paper, or individual, who,
c anes out to tight in the* broad, j
noon-day light than for those
who hold plotting counsels in se
•Tc places, hide in the dark and
ain't a i unsuspecting victim in
th * hack!
It will be romembered that
neai iy two years ago—in the
fi.s< issue of the Democrat un->
tier my nianagmeut, I -.aid: “II
have no friends to reward nor
enimies to punish ’ It may be
surmised that I have some of
both now.
With an apology for deviating
from the prime object of this
communication, I will now write i
about iny visit and impressions,
as the editor suggested.
I am now heartily enjoying
life in the society of my two
daughters—Elgia and Grace,son
in-law Dr. Hamilton, and romp-!
ing with that wonderful'
specimen of perfect baby
hood—John K., my only grand
child, now seventeen months old.
Fort Smith is a beautiful city
surrounded by picturesque seen
ery A horseshoe bend in the
Arkansas river extends on three
sides of tin* city. From where I
am writing I can look upon the
majestic stream flowing due
north. The river is now on a
“rampage.'* The weather beau-,
ro says it has risen twenty-four
feet in the past twenty-four,
hours Its average width around!
Ft. Smith is now more than a|
mile. •
A fraction of this city is now l
in Oklahoma, the line in places!
being on the east side of the riv- 1
er High hills and bluffs, on
either side of the river, are dec
orated with oaks and evergreen.
There are numerous furniture
factories here, supplied with oak.
and pine lumber made from
trees which grow within forty
miles of the city. I
Arkansas, like Colorado, went!
“dry” the first of this year, and
business men say it has greatly
crippled this city; but they ex
pect to find other industries that
will more than supply the loss.
A few years ago the city had a
population of 55,000, but not
more than 35,000 is now claimed.
The city is noted for its tine bus
iness and dwelling houses, about
one-thi rd of which are now vacant.
My mind is full of many inter
esting features regarding Ft.
Smith, her people and surround
ings; but it would be an imposi
tion on your valuable space
dwell upon the marvels that have,
interested me.
I will close by relating a few!
iof the tragic happenings since
my arrival.
A woman was burned to death
—an accident with a gasoline
stove: an assistant tire chief was
electrocted by coming in con
tact with a live wire while fight-!
ing a fire. The most peculiar
accident ol all—a negress pur
sued her husband with a re
volver, shot him in the leg; the
second shot went through the
window of a barber shop, pene
trated the right eye of a travel
ling man in a barber chair, killing
11 im almost instantly. This hap-j
I j tuned lasi Wednesday on Garri-'
'son venue (principal thorough j
, fare) when Elgia,- Grace. John
K. and L were strolling on the
avenue within a block of the
I accident.
In a few days I shall return
it h Elgia to Wichita. Early in
I .-bruary I expect to be back to
“good old Baca County.”
Very truly,
Enock F. Koontz. |

seriously ill with Grippe for
nearly two weeks, is now able
to attend to business, though

Weight under 4,500. Extensive practical experience with several thousand Bull Tractors,
distributed in almost every state in the Union, has evolved the Big Bull right on the American
Farms. It incorporates just what ietelligent fanners ure demanding a tractor that can do all
the traction vork on the farm, and at a price that makes horses tco expensive to buy or to keep.
No new equipment is required as you can hitch the Big Bull to machinery you now have.
Save the mares to raise colts, but sell the unprofitable geldiuus and buy a Big Bull to do the
horse-killing work on the farm.
The Big Bull will do all the plowing, discing and seeding. It will run the munure spreader,
draw the heavily loaded wagon, the hay loader, mowers, binders, etc. Then, too, it will do
your stationary work; such as running corn shellers, feed grinders, small shredders and thresh
ers and ensilage cutters. It will run road graders, move small buildings, haul logs, etc.
It will interest the boys and keep them on the farm.
