RIVER CONCEALED MURDER.
■ !
Body Of A. J. Lane, Pfearter, Found
Floating In White River Above
Augusta I nquest Verdict
Charges Soys With
'• Murder
Augusta, Ark., Oct. 6. Special Dis
patch to Independent , A floating
body was found in White river, one
• mile above Augusta early Monday
morning and upon examination was
identified as that of A. J. Lane, who
with two sons, Lonnie and Ira have
been engaged in pearling.
A gunshot wound in the head had j
produced death and the fact that the >
body had been weighted down with
old iron castings, such as plough
shares and etc., was clear proof that
Lane had met with foul play.
The coroner at once proceeded to
empanel a jury, which body after ex
amining all the evidence in the case
and a number of witnesses returned
the following verdict: “We the jury
find that A. J. Lane came to his death
by means of a gunshot wound in
flicted by Ira and Lonnie Lane.”
The murder is supposed to have been
committed for the purpose of robbery,
but just how long ago is not known,
though the body had suffered decom
position. The two sons went down the
river and officers are in pursuit, hop
ing to overtake arid capture them.

CHARGES ,BAD FAITH.
Major J. M. Bell Asserts That Property
Owners Were Induced To Sign
Petition For Improvement
District With Understand
ing That Such Action
Was Not Final.
To the Editor:
In head lines you designate as a pro
test the brief report of the city coun
cil, but recent efforts to intimidate
citizens opposing the sewerage move
ment do indeed give occasion for pro
test, and they now protest against
such conduct. In vindication of the
course of these citizens in refusing to be
made parties to the sewerage petition
and in condemnation of the promo
ters of that enterprise, it is only nec
essary to state facts. About August
last these promoters sent out their
agents by twos and threes to make a
house-to-house visitation throughout
the city and burdened with a message
of unbounded astuteness. These pro
moters, knowing that taxes were bur
densome and costs of construction and
connections of the sewer could not be
rected, when such objections were
n.ade, to assure the parties that’their
names were wanted only to ascertain
the number of real estate owners who
would desire a sewer if the same could
be had on reasonable terms, and that
so soon as “the authorities” could as
certain the costs of constructing the
sewer, making connections, plumbing,
water rates, etc., that they (“the au
thorities”) would refer the whole mat
ter back to the real estate owners for
them to determine what action, if any,
they would take. These representa
tions were made to sixteen of the per
sons who gave notice of wxthdi’awal,
the other two being members of the
city council who signed with a like un
derstanding. Should any one wish to
verify this he need only to question
the parties themselves, and in fact
many others signed with a like under
standing.
It is unnecessary to add that no such
information was ever vouchsafed by
these authorities or any other person,
but when investigation was made the
real estate owners learned that the law
had humanely provided that for con
struction of the sewer proper they
could only be charged with 20 per cent
of the value of their real estate effect
ed, or one-fifth of such value, but for
construction they could be charged to
the limit of the plumber’s conscience,
and this was spot cash, it will be seen
that every principle of law and justice
gives right to these parties to refuse
lending their names to a measure so
undefined and so fraught with possible
disaster to the parties themselves, and
yet when they give notice to have
their names omitted from this petition
they are met with a positive refusal
and informed their act of signing was
irrevocable. Outside the council room
it is boastingly declared that these
parties shall have the sewer, whether
sustained by a majority or not, and to
those of the party withdrawing who
favored the license of liquors, threats
were made that whiskey would be
kept out of the city if their scheme of
sewerage was defeated. The first
observation was of course idiotic,
the head of its author would
rattle with vacuity. The second,
though a little soaring, has some meat
in it. Without expressing any opin
ion on the liquor question, it may well
be conceded that the advocates of
license are honest in holding that the
license system is the only proper way
to regulate that traffic and it is the
only mode of procuring adequate
revenue for the city. But what should
be thought of a sewer advocate who
believing this true would nevertheless
work against what he considered the
best interests of the city because some
other advocate of license should op
pose his views on the sewer system.
Enough of this. But as doubtlessly,
Mr. Editor, you expected a more
lengthy article, I will switch to an
other track. Let us moralize a little.
Suppose Carnegie with his bushels
of money should visit Newport and
call for Tom, Dick and Harry to ad
! vise with as to the best means ofgrad
j ing and paving Front, Second and
j Third streets.
It shall, says Mr. Carnegie, be paved
with either granite, cobble-stone or
asphalt, as you gentlemen may de
termine in your wisdom. What think
you would be *he result of the con
ference? Not much. • Tom might
think granite would do, because that
was the first substance mentioned.
Dick, that cobble-stones would an
swer, and Harry would name asphalt
because Tom and Dick had selected
the other material; but all would
readily agree that it was a matter of
some indifference as what material
was used.
But let Mr. Carnegie interview each
member privately, proposing to give
Tom $2000 to superintend the work if
asphalt was used. Dick, the same if
cobble stones were used and Harry a
like sum if granite was used. Now let
Mr. Carnegie call them together for
consultation as to the proper material
to be used. What think you would be
the result? Something like the fol
lowing: Tom: “Granite is the only
proper material and he who says to
the contrary is a liar.” Cobble-stones,
says Dick, and 1 will give the galoot
who disputes my word one of them
between the eyes. Asphalt, shouts
Harry, and the man who thinks other
wise is an ass.
Moral: When part of the citizens
of a town resort to chicanery and
work as if their soul’s salvation de
pended on it to effect a public enter
prise that would be ruinous to the
other part, you can bet your bottom
dollar there is a “bug under the chip”
somewhere.
