j HAPPENINGS AT HOXIE. j
j Hoxie, Ark., December 11.—'The big j
I Iron Mountain coal chutes are tin- i
| ished. Contract for painting same j
j has not yet been let. Several con- |
! tractors are figuring on it and the
roundhouse.
The Southwestern Telegraph and |
Telephone Company has distributed j
poles and material from Tuckerman !
to this place and construction work is j
progressing at about a half mile daily, j
The freight paid by this company was
over $2,100.
The new Iron Mountain water tank ■
for this place is in course of construe- |
tion and will be of immense capacity. ;
The recent heavy rains have de- j
layed work in the new Iron Mountain j
yards considerably. The work is be
ing rushed with all possible haste to
get it finished by January 1.
Last week one of the big freight |
engines on the Iron Mountain went in
on a new piece of track in the yards
and sank into the earth up to its axles.
It took several hours to get it up.
Abrams and Chase are off today to
Newport doing some engineering
work there.
At the banquet at Newport last
week on the occasion of the opening
of the new Iron Mountain passenger
depot, in the speech-making this
place and Walnut Ridge were referred
to as the suburbs at Newport. That
champagne was having a great effect
upon the speakers about that time.
We wonder how we will refer to New
port when the roundhouse and coal
chutes are open for business? Under
the influence of Kentucky’s finest, we
may think Newport a miniature of
what we will be within the next six
nmntha
Iii the Boas-Raney addition to Hox
ie, recently surveyed and laid ont,
there is a Tyler avenue, named for
General Superintendent Tyler of the
Iron Mountain. Several of the ave
nues are named after prominent rail
road officers, as follows: Harding,
( otter and Hartigan.
PASSING OF CHARLEY FRANK.
“There will be but one league in
the South next year, and that will be
the old one,” said President W. M.
Kavanaugb of the old league, known
asthe Southern Association, Thurs
day. If the agreement entered into
at Memphis Wednesday is ratified by
the league at its meeting at Birming
ham Monday, and enough votes are
guaranteed to assure that it will be,
the circuit will consist of the follow
ing cities, with the managers named:
Little Rock—M. J. Finn.
Memphis—Theo. Breitenstein.
New Orleans—Abner Powell.
Nashville—Newt Fisher.
Montgomery -Frank Rinn.
Savannah—Bobby Gilks.
Birmingham—Tommy O’Brien.
Atlanta—Yet to be selected.
The most striking feature of the
above list of managers is the aosence
of the now famous name of Charles
Frank, Esq., late manager of the
Memphis club, and the man who
brought on the war which has just
been declared off. And, strange to
say, Frank was not consulted as to
what should be done in the peace
proceedings, but from a distant city,
where he happened to be at that time,
sent telegram after telegram to his
legal adviser, Caruthers Ewing, beg
ging him not to entertain peace pro
posals of any kind. “We’ve got them
whipped to a standstill; concede
nothing,” he wired.
It is really pitiame, tms stepping
down from the pedestal of fame as a
warring manager and retirement to
the ranks of an ordinary ball player;
yet such is the fate of Charley Frank,
if reports at hand are to be believed.
Like the star in the East, he passed
across the baseball firmament, and
now is set. Requiscat in pace.—Little
Rock Gazette.
NEW STORE OPENS.
The Palace Jewelry Store of which
' S. G. Parker is proprietor opened for
| business Thursday noon in the new
J Jones building and its handsome ap
pearance has since proven quite a
I topic of conversation among Newport
j people, who are glad to learn of the
j acquisition of so up-to-date a store.
The furnishings of hardwood are
modern and nicely arranged, while
the stock is large and varied for a
town of Newport’s size. Mr. Parker
has undoubtedly made a good im
j pression in this opening and hopes for
j hie success are generiflly expressed.
! The building is to be lighted by a
j gasoline light, made by a new process
| of which he is agent.
Come, come, come, at once to I. D.
Price’s mammoth Christmas Bazaar
and select your holiday presents be
fore the stocks are broken. They are
going fast. Don’t be too late. 197 btf

CENSUS FOR NEW CIRCLE. !
The advocates of licensed saloons
after being successful in securing a
large majority of the qualified signers,
residing within the three mile district
of the Newport public school building,
have another fight upon their hands.
The Prohibitionists propose to make
their light in another district, taking
for the center of their circle, the
Jacksonport school house. If a circle
be described from this point as a cen
ter, with a radius of three miles, a
good portion of this city comes \yithin
the prohibited territory. In fact the
circle would include as far south as
Third street and by taking in such a |
large block of Jefferson township, j
which has always been a stronghold
of the anti-saloon element, the advo
cates of the license system are taken
at a disadvantage.
But they expect to win the fight,
even though it be in “the enemy’s
country” and foreseeing this turn in
the contest have had men engaged for
several days in taking a census and
securing signers for a petition within
the .district named. John R. Lofton
Jr., is taking the census and Ed Dav
enport circulating the petition.
The Prohibitionists are not resting
upon their arms, but have Will Erwin
employed in securing a census of that
part of Newport within three miles of
Jacksonport, while the Probis of Jeff
erson township are looking after their
end of this canvas.
FEDERAL COURT AT BATESVILLE.
United States District Attorney W.
G. Whipple and Assistant Attorney U.
S. Bratton returned to Little Rock
Wednesday from Batesville, says the
Arkansas Democrat, where they had
been attending federal court. They
secured six convictions and eight in
dictments in criminal cases. There
are three civil damage suits now on
trial that will occupy the time of the
court until Saturday. Deputy Marshal
Fred Johnson returned this morning
with L. G. Shields, who was sentenced
to sixty days in the Pulaski county
jail for selling whisky illegally in Bax
ter county. George W. Dunlap, who
was arrested in Georgia and kept in
the Pulaski jail for some time on the
charge of manufacturing illicit stills,
was convicted and sentenced to sixty
days in the jail at Batesville.
MAIL CLERK KILLED.
Railway Mail Clerk Leonard Owen
was instantly killed on the Iron Moun
tain Railroad at Traskwood Thursday
morning at 8 o’clock, while engaged
in the performance of his duty. He
was on train No. 5, the south-bound
cannon ball, which passes No. 4, at
Traskwood. Owen placed a pouch on
the crane, and as No. 4, came along he
was in the act of putting his head out
the door when the crane struck him
violently. His neck was broken by
the blow and death was instantaneous.
The deceased was not quite 30 years
of age, was married, and his home was
at Bald Knob, to which place the body
was taken for interment. He had
been in the railway mail service sev
eral years, and his run was on the
main line of the Iron Mountain, be
tween St. Louis and Texarkana.
JUDGMENT AGAINST
RUTHERFORD.
In the federal court at Batesville
Thursday, a verdict was returned in
favor of the plaintiff Mrs. Foster
against George Rutherford, who killed
the former’s husband.
Mrs. Foster lives in Lawrence coun
ty and the jury in the case, which in
cluded four Jackson county men,
George Sconyers, R. L. Pierson, James
Nicholson and Rufus Jones, gave the
widow $6,800. Her attorneys were
Ex-Gov. Dan W. Jones of Little Rock,
Gen. Robt. Neill and Judge J. W.
Butler of Batesville.
A POEM.
A Missouri editor, who occasionally
prints a “respectfully submitted”
poem, is responsible for the follow
ing:
If you’re fixing up a rhyme,
Make it brief,
If you don’t, you’ll waste your time;
Make it brief.
Shakespeare, Milton and a few
Used to write ’em long, that’s true,
But no modern poets do;
Make it brief.
If you’ll take a friendly hint,
Make it brief,
P’raps ’twill then go into print;
Make it brief.
Space is scarcer than of yore,
Stretched out verse becomes a bore,
So I’ll stop—but just once more;
Make it brief.
RECOVERED STOLEN WATCH.
Sheriff Bandy returned Thursda^®
afternoon from Burgess’ Mill, wher^T
he recovered the gold watch of Miss
Lou Minor from Henry Cooper, a
pearler, to whom Ed Wilson, the negro
arrested at Diaz, had pawned the same
for $5.00.
Wilson offered the watch to Millie
Scott, a neggo woman for $2, and has
confessed to the theft. He says that,
he walked into the residence of Col
onel Minor about ten o’clock one
morning, when the family were in the
rear of the house, picked up the watch
off a dresser and decamped without
being noticed.
