- GOULD SYSTEM SHAKE-UP.
0. G. Warner, vice president of the
Missouri Pacific system, departed
Wednesday for a conference in New
York city with George J. Gould. Mr.
Warner, who has been in poor health
for some time, has lately improved..
He hopes to be fully recovered In a
short time. Mr. Warner stated that
he could not give out the nature of
his trip to New York.
“A general shake-up is said to be in
progress on the Missouri Pacific and
the Iron Mountain, and it is possible
that the operating department, over
which Mr. Harding presides, will be
wholly reorganized to meet the de
mands of a growing system,” says the
St. Louis Republic.

immense crowd gathered in front of

pletely blocking the street. As soon
as the result was announced the

yelling like mad. Miss Sengel is a
most charming personage and enjoys
universal popularity. In the last

410,819._

STATE MILITIA NECESSARY.
Bloody Shooting Affray At El Dorado
In Which Three Men Are Killed
And a Fourth Fatally Wounded
Trouble Originated With
Jealous Lover.
ElDorado, Oct. 9.—Three men were
killed, one will die and two others
were wounded in a shooting affray on
the streets here at 4:30 p. m. today.
The dead:
H. L. Dearing, constable.
Tom Parnell, farmer.
Walter Parnell, farmer.
The wounded:
Guy B. Tucker, oity marshal, shot
six times and will die.
Dr. Hilton, wounds not serious.
Jim Parnell, not serious.
The shooting is the sequel to the
killing September 18 here by Dearing
of Robert Mullens, which followed a
wedding. On September 17 a Mr.
Puckett of Texarkana arrived in the
city to marry Miss Jessie Stevenson,
who was employed in Mullens’ photo
graph gallery. The following morn
ing he called at the studio to see the
young lady and was attacked by Mul
lens and forced to flee for his life,
leaving his horse and buggy, Mullens
nloimimr f.hnf f'TVTn llrma'l WP.H fttl
- c, ' ,
gaged to the young lady. Puckett re
turned with City Marshal Tucker and
secured his horse and was that night
married, under the protection of the
officers, taking the night train for
Texarkana. They had heard that
Mullens intended to intercept them at
a small station several miles away,
and asked Marshal Tucker and Con
stable Dearing to accompany them,
which they did. When the station,
which is known as McMurrian, was
reached, Mullens was on the platform
and was arrested as he started to
board the train and brought back to
this place, where he was released on
bond late in the afternoon. At 6p. m.
Mullens met Constable Dearing on the
street and attacked him for the ar
rest. In the scuffle Dearing shot
Mullens with a pistol and the latter
died the following morning.
The Parnell boys were friends of
MulleriB and Thos. Newton was a friend
of Dearing. Some time ago, it is al
leged, Newton accused the Parnell
boys of setting fire to his house, and a
few days afterward Newton was
stabbed in the back, but by whom was
not determined. Since the killing of
Mullens all parties have been going
heavily armed. This afternoon Jim
Parnell and Newton had some words,
but no one was injured. It seems that
both factions prepared for trouble,
and it came when they met.
It was at 4:30 that Dearing, Tucker
and Newton were walking along in
front of the Union Grocery Company,
on the east side of the square, when
they met the three Parnell brothers.
Jim Parnell is said to have fired at
Newton, and in an instant the fusilade
began. About seventy-five shots were
fired, and it sounded like a regular
battle. The men were so close to
gether that their aim was deadly. It
developed into a man-to-man anair,
Dearing and Tom Parnell emptying
their several pistols at each other at a
distance so close that when they fell,
unable to shoot anymore, their bodies
formed a cross. The others were tir
ing promiscuously, and it is supposed
that a shot from Marshal Tucker’s
pistol killed Walter Parnell. Tucker
was shot six times and will die. Dr.
Hilton, who tried to separate the men,
was shot, but not fatally.
It is said that just as the smoke was
clearing away, Newton saw Jim Par
nell standing over the bodies of the
three dead and two wounded men and
ran up and pointed his pistol at his
head.
“My gun is empty,” said Parnell,
throwing the werpon to the ground.
Newton did not take advantage of
the unarmed man, and did not shoot.
MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
Sheriff Morris of Union county com
municated with Gov. Davis early last
night and requested the governor to
call out the company of the Arkansas
State Guard, resident at ElDorado.
The sheriff represented to the gov
ernor that great excitement pre
vailed in ElDorado in consequence of
the tragic occurrence of the after
noon, and it was regarded wise to in
voke the assistance of the militia in
the effort to keep order. Gov. Davis
at once directed the officers of the
ElDorado military company to place
their men on duty for the purpose of
en* -cing the law and preserving the
FAILS TO QUALIFY.
Of the three commissioners, T. J.
Watson, Ike Goldman and C. G. Henry,
appointed by the council Monday,
September 29, the first named has
failed to qualify within the ten days
allowed under the law. This creates
a hitch in the program towards the
construction and operation of a sew
erage system in this city.
Since the agitation of the sewerage
question, there has been quite a divis
ion of sentiment as to the advisability
of taking the step at this time, in view
of the nearby expiration of the fran
chise of the Newport Water Company,
and it is understood that Mr. Watson
did not care to accept the trust im
posed, when such a considerable por
tion of the real estate owners are pro
testing against the step.
HOXIE’S ANCIENT MULE.
Hoxie, Oct. 9.-—Needed repairs are
being made on the street-car line.
One of the mules on this line, “Kick
ing Jack,” is 20 years old and had been
with this company 14 years in August.
He has traveled 87,000 miles, killed
one driver and broke the ribs in two
others, and has never been known to
have been ridden. Thousands of peo
ple know Jack and they will not be
surprised at the distance he has trav
eled back and forth on this line. He
is good yet for 100,000 more miles, as
he still exhibits many traits of a well
fed playful colt. The talk about build
ing an electric line is of no interest to
him. He knows he is here to stay un
til his time to go to mule kingdom
comes. His reward there will be
great for the damage he has done here.
