Legislators Count the Ties.

Eight members of an Arkansas legislative joint committee had an experience Friday that made them the laughing stock Qf their friends. The eight dignified lawmakers were compelled to walk ten miles through mud five inches deep, following the railroad line back to town. The members of the committee were on their way to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and boarded the Hot Springs train by mistake. There was nothing to do but leave the train and walk back to town.
