SOUGHT TO WRECK
BATESVILLE PASSENGER.
Villians Place Obstruction on Track
Near Earnheart to Derail Pas
senger Train.
Some one made a deliberate attempt
to wreck tbe south-bound passenger
train just below Earnheart Thursday
evening at trestle No. 9, says the
Batesville Bee. The parties had se
cured a couple of locust crossties and
placed them in the track in a manner
that would have caused a serious ac
cident and perhaps a number of peo
ple killed or seriously hurt had not
the plans of the, wreckers been
thwarted.
Late in the afternoon about thirty
minutes before the time for the train
to arrive, W. H. Harris, who is build
ing the spur to Leiper & Mills’ quarry,
discovered an unusual obstruction on
the track and upon investigation he
found that it had been so arranged
that the engine would have been
thrown from the track had he not
made the discovery. Mr. Harris at
once went to work and after some
time succeeded in removing the tim
bers.
There is no clue to this attempt to
destroy life and property, but it is
truly hoped that something may lead
up to the identity of the villians.

IN HONOR OF GUEST.
Mr. and Mrs. Chamblin Simpson
proved themselves gifted and gra
cious entertainers Friday evening
at a party given in honor of their
guest, Miss Sidway, of Dyersburg,
Tenn. They were assisted in receiv
ing by Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Crook and
Miss Neill Bandy, and the whole affair
could hardly have been planned and
executed in a manner that would have
been more pleasing to the guests.
The evening was passed very en
joyably at cards and flinch, nor must
we omit a few vocal numbers given by
the hostess and Mrs. Crook, for they
constituted a source of much pleasure
to all present.
A delicious fruit punch served to ap
pease thirst upon this sultry evening
and refreshments of ice cream and
cake were nicely served in the dining
room, very prettily decorated in flow
ers and ferns.
Those present were Misses Neill
and Gene Bandy, Noreene Kinman,
Mary Bailey, Jamie Irby, Bessie E. L.
Watson, Ewunu Beard, Bennie Hum
ble, Jennie McCauley, Stella Echols,
Messrs. J. M. Berger, Jr., Alcorn Fer
guson, James Scarborough, W. T.

Donald, Eugene Hirsch, W. B. Egan,
Will McGoffin.
NEWPORT’S FIRST BALE.
Dan Crownover, living at the head
of Oil Trough, on Saturday afternoon
brought to Newport the first bale of
this season’s cotton, which he sold to
Wilmans Bros, at 13 cents per pound,
or $60.06, as the bale weighed 462
pounds.
The cotton was a strict middling,
of one and one-eighth staple, picked
off of ten acres and ginned by Wm.
Moore.
This first bale was hardly expected
for two weeks by most buyers. T. J.
Gregg of the Lesser Cotton Company
relieved Wilmans Bros, of their pur
chase at the same price.
PREPARING PENSION VOUCHERS.
Little Rock, Sept. 6.—The force in
the auditor of state’s office is busy
just now making out the vouchers for
payment of pensions to Arkansas
Confederate soldiers.
The list this year shows a slight in
crease over last year, there being
6,160 pensioners to be paid, as against
5,600 last year. In all there is about
$162,000 to be disbursed. The average
amount paid to each veteran is be
tween $27 and $28. Disability, in
stead of rank, decides what a veteran
shall receive. In the pensions paid
by the national government to the ex
federals a disabled colonel receive*
more than a disabled captain, and a
disabled captain more than a disabled
| private. In the pensions paid to ex
Confederates by the state of Arkan
sas a disabled private receives more
than a colonel who is not so badlj
disabled as the private.
The pension vouchers are sent tc
the county clerks of the variouf
i counties and by them distributed tc
the veterans. It is thought all of the
vouchers will have been mailed bj
the last of this month

LOCAL SHOTS BESTED BEEBE.
Eight representatives of the New
port Gun club attended the shoot at
Beebe Friday and experienced little
trouble in making the best totals in a
contest at 100 birds with the club of
that town.
Henry Owen, who is developing
into one of the best amateur shots in
the state, carried off the laurels of the
day in 86 broken pigeons out of a total
of 100, and the totals of the Newport
sportsmen exceeded the Beebe shots
47 in the morning shoot and 29 in the
afternoon, or a sum total of 76.
In both contests each entry tried at
60 birds and the following records for
the day were made by the Newport
visitors: Henry Owen, 86 out of a
possible 100, Wm. Mosby 82, O. S.
Lawrence 76, R. T. Simmone 70, Park
Deaderiek 69, G. W. Sexton 68, W. C.
Wharton 68, G. A. Hillhouse 67.
The local sportsmen returned home
Friday night, very enthusiastic in
their praise of Beebe’s hospitality.
They were royally entertained and
are already planning to have Beebe
come to Newport, where they hope
to treat them likewise. '
