Miss Mattie Slatton, the 17
1 year old daughter of J. L. Slat
ton, who is employed in a mill at
Marked Tree, tells a startling
story this morning of an attempt
to kidnap her last night as she
lay sleeping, says the Jonesboro
Sun of Thursday.
, She was awakened about 2
o’clock this morning to find her
self in the arms of a burly man
who was carrying her from her
bed. She screamed and the arms
| loosed their hold and the form
darted away, in tne intense
darkness she could not tell
1 whether it was a white man or a
negro.
After the intruder had fled the
i girl roused her mother, who is
I afflicted with deafness, and knew
; nothing of what had occurred.
1A message was sent by tele
phone for officers, but they w'ere
not found. About this time thej
were hauling the last load oJ
beer to jail.
The family live in a tent oppo
site the Arkansas Stave Com
pany’s plant, and the mother anc
daughter slept in the same pari
of it. This morning the foot
prints of a shoe, about No. 9
were found outside the tent,
The prints were plain, anc
showed the sole of the shoe to b<
badly worn. No other clues
were found.

TOURIST CARS POPULAR.
The idea that an inferior class
of people patronize the tourist
sleepers is an error. On many
trips only the best class of trav
elers are found. They are merely
men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to Cali
fornia in this manner and save
a snug sum of money to be usee
elsewhere. It is beginning to be
understood that it is by no means
necessary for the traveler tc
! spend a large sum of money ir
! order to enjoy a trip to the Pa
I cific coast.
If you cross the continent ir
-one of the tourist sleepers of the
Union Pacific you will enjoy youi
trip and save considerable money,
