TOGO TRIUMPHS
OVER ROJESTVENSKY
In Greatest Naval Battle of Mod
em Times, Detroying Rus
sian Fleet—The Latest
Developments.
“Togo triumphant’ ’ is the news
" "heralded by every wire, filling in
the latest details of the greatest
naval battle in the world’s his
v tory. The little Jap admiral has
^ given a good account of himself
in the destruction of the power
ful fleet sent by Russia to the far
East to restore her maritime
prestige and power.
The latest bulletin says “the
Russian fleet has been annihilated
and the Japanese loss is practi
cally nothing. Sixteen Russian
warships have been sunk, in
cluding three battleships, one of
these the admiral’s flagship, who
is said to have gone down, two
the others scattered and in flight
for a harbor of refuge where
they may be interned.
The great battle opened at
dusk Saturday evening, when
Togo signaled the torpedo flo
tilla to’make an onslaught upon
the Russian fleet heading north
ward at full steam through the
Korean straits. The story of
the battle in all its graphic de
tails and awful results has not
been told,but continued through
* out the night and Sunday.
The result would seem to force
Russia to accept the Japs’ terms
of peace, but they have been
obstinate before in crushing de
■» feat, and may again refuse.
An American ship was sunk by
Rojestvensky probably to keep ,
the Japs from getting informa-!
tion of their whereabouts, and
President Roosevelt has called
upon Russia for an explanation.
TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
■ .
• I
Paragould, May 28. — Prisoners j
confined in the Greene county J
jail made an unsuccessful attempt
to break out last night. Salty j
Sackson, a young white man
confined on the charge of rob
bery, led the attempt at escape.
He sawed through the iron
bars and was digging out the
brick wall when he made a noise
that brought the jailer to his side.
He had the bed clothes made into
a rope and meant to swing him
self down to the ground floor by
them.
BANK CLERK LOCATED.
Hot Springs, May 28.—From
information gleaned from one of
the officials of the Arkansas Na
f tional bank the detectives are on
the trail of Wesley G. Parker,
the defaulting exchange clerk.
He was traced direct to New Or
leans, it is stated, where he is
supposed to have taken passage
for South America or possibly
South Africa.

COIN HARVEY
HAS ENCOUNTER.
Labor Organizer Mixes Things
Up With the Former Popu
list and Uses Him Very
• Roughly.
Rogers, May 28.—W. H. (€oin)
Harvey was badly bruised this
afternoon at Monte Ne, his sum
mer resort, five miles from Rog
ers, in an encounter with W. J.
Malett. Mr. Malett is a well
known labor organizer, and is
from Fort Smith. He is one of
the largest men in the state, be
ing over 6 feet. The trouble oc
curred over an editorial in Mr.
Harvey’s paper. Reports as to
who was the aggressor differ,
but Harvey, thinking Malett was
going to assault him attempted
to draw a revolver.
Malett knocked Harvey down
and handled him pretty roughly,
some claiming he kicked him in
the side. A telephone message
this evening says his injuries are
not dangerous though painful.
A strike of masons and car
penters on the handsome club
house Mr. Harvey is building for
a stock company at Mote Ne is at
the bottom of the trouble.
WHITE RIVER’S
DAMAGE BELOW.
Augusta, May 28.—With the
exception of a few days of sun
shine, it has been raining in this
county since May 1.
The White river at this point
has been overflowing the country
for several weeks. Much of the
low land has not been planted,
and can only be planted in late
corn or hay now. The mer
chants are gloomy as well as the
farmers over the prospects.
There are scarcely any young
chickens. The heavy rains
drown them as fast as they are
hatched. The pearling industry
has been closed down on White
river for nearly three months,
which means much loss to Au
gusta.

north of Jacksonport, who has j
been engaged in getting out logs j
for the Muirhead Shingle Com
pany, while out hunting Thurs
day was drowned in the back
water from Black river.
A hunt for the missing man
was instituted Friday and the
boat found, together with a i
squirrel he had killed. It is sup- i
posed that the discharge of the
gun knocked him from the boat.
Why he was not aole to save his j
life, being a good swimmer, is j
rather remarkable.
The body was found Sunday
by friends and buried next day
at Hickory Grove. The gun has
not been found and probably will
not be recovered until the water
goes down.
