JURY HAS THE CASE.
Of Dave Allen, Charged With Murder
Under Consideration—Abner
Marks Given Fine and One
Day In Jail—Charley
Dupin on Trial.
The case of Dave Allen against
whom the state sought to make out a
case of murder in the second degree,
now rests with the jury, having been
turned over to that body, at eleven
o’clock Thursday morning and up to
press hour no verdict had been ar
rived at. As instructions were also
given for manslaughter, it is probable
that some of the jury are holding out
for such a verdict and others for mur
der.
Abner Marks, who seems to be an
overgrown boy, was indicted by the
grand jury for assault with intent to
kill, but was convicted of aggravated
assault and given a sentence of one
day in jail and a fine of $50.
The trial of Charley Dupin, colored,
was occupying the attention of the
court Thursday afternoon. He is
charged with stealing a trunk of
clothes and is defended by Judge
Scarborough and Love Grant.
Sentence has been passed by the
court upon Harve Osborne and Jay
Edwards, the convicted horsethieves
and their terms of imprisonment of
one year each, were made to date
from July 29.
Whether court will adjourn next
week is not yet settled, but certain it
is that Judge Fulkerson has kept
things humming and dispatched busi
ness with as much promptness as is
consistent with justice.
SOMETHING SENSA
TIONAL PROMISED.
The state penitentiary board will
meet in regular session next Friday
morning at the capitol. The board
has not met in a month. The regular
meeting two we«s« ago was post
poned on account of the meeting of
the board of election commissioners
which occurred on the same day. It
is expected that the session will de
velope interestingly if not sensation
ally. Some of the under officials of
the penitentiary, it is said, will be
severely reprimanded for the recent
numerous escapes from the convict
pamps. It is possible that some may
lose their positions on this score. The
members of the board, other than
Gov. Davis, say they know of nothing
of importance to be brought before
the body. Gov. Davis intimated that
he has matters of moment to be con
sidered, which will not be divulged
until the meeting.—Little Rock Ga
zette.
EIGHT MILE.
Health is very good in this locality.
The drought was broken here by
showers Monday and Wednesday,
which were needed very much.
Mrs. A. J. Mead was very badly
burned on Monday last.
Mr. J. L. Root, the Western Tie &
Timber Company contractor, is con
templating moving his family to Mc
Crory in the near future.
Mr. Jasper Nance gave a birthday
dinner last Sunday. There was a
large crowd present and all had a
nice time.
O. J. Gould came home Sunday
evening from Newport where he has
been for the past seven weeks being
treated for mastoriditis and returned
Monday evening. He is improving
nicely and hopes to be at home again
soon.
FIERCE FLOOD AT TEXARKANA.
Texarkana, July 30.—The fiercest
deluge in twenty years covered this
section last night. The rain poured
incessantly for twelve hours, and
overflowed the entire country, stop
■ ping traffic of all descriptions. That
section of the city known as Swamp
Poodle was inundated by Dychman’s
canal, and the inhabitants, all negroes,
were awakened from their slumbers
by their cabins floating away. In
tense panic prevailed in that section,
and the citizens had o form into
rescue bands to save the denizens
from drowning. Property in that
part of the city was damaged to the
extent of $5,000, and many residences
were made useless by their dislodg
ment from their foundations. The
negroes over in Swamp Poodle prayed
and screamed and were in a pitiable
plight when daylight dawned.
All of the streams are booming, and
Red river jumped four feet today.
Many crops are ruined.
COURAGE AVERTED DROWNING
Fort Smith, July 30.*--A double or
triple drowning was narrowly averted
on Poteau river through the presence
of mind and courage of Paul Furner,
17 years old, he saving Misses Nellie
Hogan and Pearl Shaw from drown
ing. The two girls and Furner, who
went up the river about twelve miles
with a large party, were out boat
riding and in attempting to step from
one boat into another Miss Hogan
fell into the water, grabbing Fruner
and pulling him in also. In tipping,
the skiff dipped considerable water,
and, thinking it would sink, Miss
Shaw also jumped out of the boat.
As neither girl could swim, Furner
had his hands full. After much diffi
culty he managed to reach the shore
with his companions. The young
ladies quickly recovered from the
shock. They and the other members
of the party complimented Fruner
upon his plucky feat and have proudly
termed him a second Hobson.
BOY DROWNED AT JUDSONIA.
Last Wednesday afternoon Clayton
Franks, the 13-year-old son of Adam
Franks, who lives on the Conley farm
about three miles down the river from
Judsonia, saw a white crane alight
just across the river from his home,
and he got his father’s gun and started
across the river to kill it. He had
never shot a gun before and when he
fired, the gun kicked him out of the
boat, stunning him so that he made
no effort to save himself. The river
was dragged and dynamited, and
divers went down to recover the
body, but all to no use. The body
was found about 10 o’clock Friday
rt-i nrninfT Vixr AnHv P^nlA V*nl ^ IriHtTAfl
on the Best shoals, about one mile
below where the boy was drowned.
The undercurrent took the body
down stream; on top there was no
current at all.
Coroner Theo.'Moyer held an in
quest over the body and gave the
verdict that he came to his death by
accidental drowning.—Judsonia Ad
vance.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
THE PIE COUNTER.
Stripped of their high sounding
phrases and reduced to just what the
“regular” and “insurgent” republi
cans are all after, the Dardanelle Post
Dispatch thinks their platforms would
read as follows:
REGULAR. INSURGENT.
Whereas, there is Whereas, there
pie to be passed is pie to , be
around in Arkansas passed around in
at intervals, and Arkansas at in
we now have it, be tervals, and we
it Resolved, that haven’t any, be
we do our “darn- it Resolved, that
dest” to keep it. we do our “darn
dest” to get it.

A DICKENS OF A SET.
An exchange thus sums up the sit
uation as far as politics and the peo
ple are concerned: “The republi
cans are a set of Shy locks; the demo
crats are a set of sentimentalists; the
populists are a set of soreheads and
the people are a set of blamed fools.”
—Little Rock Advertiser.
