VOLUME rv. NEWPORT, ARKANSAS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1911. NUMBER 139
» COUNTY IS DRY
VOTE IS LIGHT
r
All Amendments And Acts Car
ry In County, But Fate of A
mendments In State Is In
, Doubt.
Eighteen out of 33 precincts
in Jackson county, including the
city of Newport, Tuckerman,
Swifton and Grubbs, give George
W. Hays, democratic nominee for
governor, 743, Kinney, republi- ‘
can 172, and Hogan socialist,
139.
From a wet majority of 600 :
two years ago, the county has i
probably turned to a dry victo-1
ry of 500, the lead from the
18 precincts thus far reported,
being 347. The total thus far
is, “For License” 353, “Against
I License” 700.
All the acts and amendments
have probably carried this coun
ty, the totals on the incomplete
returns thus far being:
For Act No. 1—731.
Against Act No. 1—164.
For Act No. 3—598.
Against Act No. 3—292.
For Amendment No. 14—612.
Against Amendrrient No. 14—
260.
The vote on Amendments 15
and 16 is much closer and the
result uncertain.
I The road tax proved almost as ,
popular as ever, and won by an '
overwhelming vote
The vote was very light and ]
will probably not exceed 1,400,
the 18 precincts now in showing
a vote of 1,054.
In Union township, three jus
~ tices of the peace were elected:
J. M. Bell, H. C. Nuckolls ad
Frank Foushee. (
In Glass township, Frank
Smith, a socialist, was chosen
one of the justices of peace, be
ing probably the first socialist ,
elected to any office in the coun-1
ty. The socialist vote was also
heavy in Lower Village and Up
per Cache. W. T. Atway was '
the other justice chosen in
Glass township.
In Glaize township Charley
Walker,defeated 0. A. Dodd for j
road overseer and in Barren A.
J. Winchester was re-elected as
overseer over W. H. Heffington.
Both the successful men were
; the party nominees.
In Grubbs township, George !
Grant and S. W. Sullins Were e-!
lected justices, defeating F. J. ,
*Faircloth and J. N. Nance. -j
The returns from over the,
ii • i • i • i n iii.
tsuiLt: iiiuicate ct victuiy xur uuui
acts and all amendments, with !
Act No. 1, the child labor law,
receiving the biggest majority.
However, as the amendments ;
must receive a majority of the
highest number of the votes
cast, all of them may find
trouble.
The vote for governor as far J
as accounted for is: Hays, 14,
288; Kinney, 3,240; Hogan, 1,-j
012- The vote on the amend
ments follows: No. 14, for 9,
643, against 5,399: No. 15, for
8,173, against 6,364; No. 16,
for 8,467, against 5,712; Act

TRAIN PLUNGES
INTO TORRENT
Forty-Five Persons Lose Lives
In Awful Wreck of Fast Fris
co Passenger Train.
United Press Dispatch.
Lebanon, Mo., Septr 15.— In
one of the worst wrecks in re
cent years, 45 persons lost their
lives at 2:35 this morning,
when the fast Frisco passenger
train, Number 5, was derailed
by a w ashout and plunged into a
gully that had become a raging
torrent as the result of the re
cently fallen heavy rains.
The southbound train, leav
ing St. Louis at 8:32 last night,
and carrying many Texas pas
sengers, ran into a washout one
mile wTest of Lebanon and plung
ed into Goodwin’s Hollow an
ordinarily dry gulley, but at this
time a creek. The engine and s
chair car were completely sub
merged. Five were killed out-1
right, one of which was the fire-1
man, the engineer escaping by j
jumping. Sixty-eight people 1
were in the chair car, which
wrent under and 45 of them wTere !
drowned
The Pullmans remained on j
the rails and their passengers
are safe. Many bodies were
washed down stream. There are
many remaining in the car. A
number of the dead have been i
dentified and the assistance
rushed to the scene is preparing
to raise the cars and recover the
dead. The following train was
saved from a wreck by the flag
men, who ran back and flagged
it.
The known dead, as reported
j
i to Receiver W. C. Nixon of the
Frisco lines, is as follows:
Henry Wagner, St. Louis.
Mrs. Elizabteh Hostetler, Al
liance. Ohio.
W. H. Childers, Billings, Mo.
John Meyers, wife and daugh
ter, Thayer, Mo. , (.
Fireman Stockstill, Spring
field, Mo.
The train was running rapid
ly to make up for t}ijp,e lost ne
gotiating previous.,, perilous
stretches, due to cloudburst.
The Pullman c^rs remained on
the rails, the combination car,
chair car and engine went into
the ditch. These cars were sub
merged in 12 feejt of water and
sixty-eight passengers in the
chair car were thus carried un
der.
Two relief trains from St.
Louis and Springfield were start
ed to the wreck but their prog
ress is slow, on account of the
washouts. Preparations are
being made to raise the cars.
Twenty-six dead had been re
covered at noon from the
wreck.

Criminal Week In Court.
Circuit court re-convened
Tuesday morning, after the in
termission of Sunday and Mon
day (election day) and began,
work on the criminal docket,
w hich is crowded. Pleas of guil
ty and fines in gaming cases and
forfeitures of bond constituted
the action upon many cases.
It is probable that owing to
the heavy criminal docket, the
court will not be able to hear
further civil casefc, where client** ' -
and counsel are waiting for trial,
showing the urgent need of two •
