CONWAY -- Although the Faulkner county boys at Camp Pike say they are getting plenty to eat, a good place to sleep, and are having a good time, they admit that they have been rather unlucky. They went to Camp Pike and were placed in quarantine. On the day the quarantine was to be raised a case of mumps was found to have developed. The boys were again placed in quarantine and were not released until last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Then, after having only one week's freedom they were again placed in quarantine last night because of a case of measles in the barracks.

CHICAGO -- Gov. Bill Clinton began the last two weeks of the presidential campaign Tuesday by seeking to fend off a new round of attacks by President Bush on Clinton's record in Arkansas. Clinton made stops Tuesday in Chicago and Milwaukee, the biggest cities in two key states of the presidential campaign. The stops came after Monday's third and final presidential debate, where President Bush, trailing in the polls, hit on Clinton's record with a new urgency. "Admit it, that Arkansas is doing very, very badly against any standard: environment, support for police officers, whatever it is," Bush said during Monday's debate.

• It isn't every day two homicide suspects, brothers at that, walk into the Little Rock Police Department to ask if they have any warrants for their arrests -- especially just a few hours after a killing in which they are suspects. Henry Onukwube, 24, of Little Rock died at a hospital at 6:25 p.m. Saturday after being shot several times at about 3 p.m. in Pettaway Park, near East 21st and Commerce streets, police said. That he died was something police expected: Onukwube took at least one bullet to the head, police said. Less expected was two brothers -- Mikal Shadeed Rasul, 32, and Na-eem Hassan Rasul, 28 -- coming in to ask about any open warrants while police were searching for them in connection with the shooting.
