HURT SHOT AT
BREWSTER FLEEING.
-7*—
Former Claims Brewster Had
Written an Insulting Letter
to His Wife.
Redfield, Sept. 7.—Oscar Hurt,
who claims to be a resident of
Little Rock, became involved in
a shooting affray with Arthur
Brewster about two miles south
of this place this morning about
7 o’clock. Hurt fired at Brews
ter, but the shot missed him and
struck a negro, inflicting a severe
wound.
Hurt came to Redfield from
Little Rock last night, and early
this morning went to a planing
mill south of this place, where
Brewster was working as fore
man. Brewster commenced to
run when he saw Hurt, and the
latter opened fire with a 44-cal
iber revolver. Brewster was not
harmed, but one of the shots
struck a negro bystander on the
head. The wound was painful,
but was not thought to be seri
ous.
Hurt claims that the trouble
arose through a letter of an in
sulting character which Brewster
is alleged to have sent to Hurt’s
wife, and which Hurt says he
has in his possession. Hurt
claims he would not have shot
Brewster had he not tried to run
away.
Hurt was arrested and placed
under $100 bond to appear in
Justice Harnell’s court.
MAJORITY CONTINUE
AGAINST LICENSE.
Prohibitionists Hay Have Major
ity in Popular Vote for
First Time—Van Bu
ren Goes Dry.
Little Rock, Sept. 8.—No little
interest attaches to the election
returns relative to liguor license
in the various counties. While
the figures are as yet incomplete
it is certain that a majority of
the counties in the state have
aligned on the “no license” side.
Two years ago forty-four out of
seventy-five counties voted
against license.
Three large counties, Independ
ence, Hemstead and Craighead,
voted no license this year. Two
years ago they went for license.
The result of the vote last Mon
day is that there will be no sa
loons in Batesville, Hope and
Jonesboro after Jan. 1 next. The
latest information from Van Bu
ren is that Crawford county went
“dry” Monday. This is another
change from the alignment of
two years ago.
Each county is government by
its own vote on the question on
license, but as a matter of inter
est the total vote in the state for
and against license is footed up
every two years. In 1902 the to
tal vote for license in the entire
state was 58,545, and the total
against license was 54,935. This
“no license” has made gains,
and will probably show a majori
ty in the state on the popular
vote.
COMMISSIONERS’ RE PORT.
The commissioners of accounts
of Jackson county, consisting of
A. D. Bailey, Esquire Hogan and
I Bottenstein filed their report
Tuesday, in which they found
the affairs of the county in good
shape.
Cancelled scrip to the sum of
$2000 was burned, which leaves
only between $5000 and $6000
outstanding. Jackson county at
this rate will soon be out of debt
and scrip is now discounted only
from 3 to 5 per cent on the mar
ket.

C. D. Taylor, Clerk of the City Board
I of Health of Jacksonville, Fla., has
occupied that position for the last ten
years. In a recent letter to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval
o^ their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
An the following words:
V “ The health of the poor of a large city
is aNways a question of vital interest not
only\to the city officials but to every
citize^. It has been a source of much
satisfaction to me to find that so large a
number df working people in moderate
circumstances have accepted Peruna as
their family-.medicine. It has cured a
large number of cases especially pf ca
tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach
and building up the general health it
cannot fail but prove a help and blessing
to any community where it is generally
adopted and used. 1 have found it an
honest reliable remedy and am pleased
to endorse it.”—C. D. Taylor, Clerk.
Board of Health.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
