! Decline State Guard Vouchers
Special to Independent.
J Little Rock, June 27.—The lo
cal banks are declining the ac
ceptance of vouchers of officials
of the Arkansas National Guard
and it is having the effect of jeo
pardizing the future of the or
ganization. Gov. Futrell issued
a proclamation declaring that an
emergency existed to the ex
tent of $2,000, authorizing war
rants to be drawn upon the state
treasurer to that amount in sup
port of the state Guard. The
banks are not convinced that the
Legislature would make an ap
propriation to cover the defici
ency thus created, and will ad
vance no money on the vouchers.
This is the reason for resigna
tion of Capt. W. C. Bradford.
Assistant Adjutant general, and
it is not probable that any one
else can be found to serve under
the circumstances. The salary
of the quarter-master. E. B.
Jett, is also affected.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Reported From Southwest Ark
ansas Rut Disease Seems To
Be Moving Into Texas.
—
| Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 27.—The
State Board of Health reports
| that there have been no more
cases of infantile paralysis re
ported and that the disease ap
pears to have spent its force in
j the counties of Miller. Little
j River and Sevier, and to be mov
: ing mto Texas. During its
prevalence, there were 100 cases
j reported, and six fatalities. Dr.1
Garrison of the State Board
says there were several cases,j
especially in Columbia county, I
that were not diagnosed and re
ported.
The Board took control of the j
situation at its incipiency, and i
to its prompt attention is prob- j
aon aue trie speedy elimination
of the disease. Regulations
were sent to all the county
boards, for the control and pre
vention of the disease, the chief I
element to be considered being j
that of sanitation.
The disease, acute anterior1
poliomyelitis, is an infectious,
communicable and dangerous
disease. It is transmitted from
the patient to a noil-immune
person by direct contact, also by
carriers. It has been only four
months since Dr. Flexner suc
ceeded in isolating its germ, so
that its peculiarities are not all
known.
An effort has been made to
establish a relationship between
the germ of infantile paralysis
and that which produces limber
neck in chickens, the two mala
dies being very similar in their
effects. Dr. Garrison, says,
however, that the relation has
'not been established yet. j
■ The following rule for the
j control of the disease is given
j toy the Board: “Whenever a
jcase of. infantile paralysis oc
Jcurs the patient should be per
emptorily isolated in a room re
| moved from other members of
i the household and securely
j screened against flies and in
sects. Some person should be
j appointed to wait upon the pa
tient, and the same general
management should be observed
as for scarlet fever and other
like diseases.”

Invited to Visit Dairy.
The milk consumers and the
City Board of Health are cor
dially invited to visit my dairy
at anv time and see how we ban
die the milk you use. The city
has had the state veterinary to
test my cows for tuberculosis
and found them in good health.
I think it is the duty of the
Board of Health to visit the dai
ries, also people selling milk
from one or more cows in town
and see how the milk is handled.
If 1 don’t handle my milk and
butter as clean or cleaner than
anyone else selling milk in your
city, I am ready to quit the bus
iness.
A great many are using mi'ik
from parties milking one or two
cows, thinking they get milk in
a more sanitary condition and
the only way to determine that
matter is to visit each barn or
place and see for yourself. My
milking hours are at 4 a. m. and
3:30 p. m. and will be glad to
have you call at milking hours.
Respectfully,
Mrs. R. L. Robinson.

Helena’s Peculiar Vote.
Little Rock, June 27.—Detail
ed returns from the gubernato
rial primary election in Phillips
county, purporting to be official,
reached Little Rock yesterday
and were examined minutelv and
with unusual interest by party
workers.
These returns show :ha: Mr.
Brundidge carried every ward in
the city of Helena, but his ma
jority in the city and the near
by St. Francis township, was
only 80. The total vote in the
city was 880 to 800. The 14
voting precincts outside of Hel
ena gave Mr. Brundidge a major
ity of 228, the total vote in the
county precincts being 471 to
243.
Since Mr. Brundidge always
has the city of Helena by a large
majority and has a large fol
lowing of personal friends who
worked in his behalf during the
gubernatorial campaign, his
small majority in Helena caused
much surprise. Judge Hays'
large vote in the town is consid
ered remarkable, because he did
not visit Helena or Phillips coun
ty during the gubernatorial cam
paign.

"ST*ft CLOTHING HOUSE"
Fighters Fined $50 Each.
Newark, June 27.—George
Ashby and Riley Milligan, two
of the parties who were impli
cated in The trouble with Char
lie Brickey in Black River town
ship a few weeks ago, were tried
before Squire A. H. Saylors at
Newark this week. The two
men were tried jointly, the case
being taken up Monday morning
and there were more than six
ty witnesses, the trial consum
ing two entire days. The jury
returned a verdict late Tuesday
evening. The jury’s verdict was
guilty against both, and they
were each fined $50 and costs
and one day in jail.
The trouble occurred some
time ago, when Milligan and
Ashby and two other men are
alleged to have attacked Brick
ey, who in turn shot all four of
the men, slightly wounding
them. Brickey was given a
preliminary trial some time ago
and was acquitted.
As a result of their testimony
in the trial here Monday, war
rants were sworn out and serv
ed on Ashby and his brother,
and Milligan and his two sons,
charging them with perjury.
They gave bond and will proba
bly waive preliminary trial
and await the action of the
grand jury.
There was quite an array of
legal talent on both sides of
the question and the case was
stubbornly fought. Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Chas. F.
Cole of Batesville represented
the state, while attorneys I. J.
Matheny of this place, E. B.
Andrews of Mobley and Judge
J. D. Doyle of Lawrence county
represented the defendants.
Slayer of Boy Resigns.
Paragould, June 26.—Deputy
'Sheriff Foster Sims, who acci

of Texas, last week in this city,
while shooting at an escaping
prisoner, yesterday handed in
! his resignation to Sheriff
i Grooms. The resignation was
accepted. Though Sims is held
under a bond of $5,000, it is
j stated that the relatives of the
victim of the accident will make
no charge against the officer.
As soon as Jailer Sims vacates
the living quarters at the coun
ty jail, Sheriff' Grooms, who at
present resides on his farm two
miles south of the city, will
move to town and take charge of
the county jail.
