ARRESTS MADE
FOR BURGLARY.
Harry Cunningham Suspected of
Robbing Newark Hardware
Store—Gov. Crosser Also
Implicated.
. Last Sunday night the store of
^ H. E. Hawthorne at Newark was
burglarized and about $150 worth
of goods stolen, consisting of
guns, knives, razors, etc.
Harry Cunningham, who came
up from Newport on the Sunday
local, says the Journal of that
town, was arrested on- suspicion
Monday afternoon. At the time
of his arrest he was lying out in
the woods a short distance below
town and pretended to be very
drank. He was arrested by
Constable S. W. Clark and
brought to town and placed in
the calaboose for safe-keeping.
• About 9 o’clock Tuesday morning
he broke out of the calaboose, and
although the officers started in
hot pursuit, he succeeded in
evading them and made good his
escape.
“Gov.” Crosser was also later
arrested and some of the stolen
goods found on his person. He
was given a hearing and bound
over to the grand jury under a
bond of $1,000.

LETTER TO MR. CHAS. WAT
SON, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not
good paint; don’t wear; the-rule
is, as everybody knows, repaint
in three years.
Devoe lasts six. in the same
way—allow wide margin in all
Such statements. What does it
w-v 4-/-\ loof9 Tf m oortc
same with both.
As to covering: that’s another.
Here’s an instance.
Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa.,
painted two houses, lead-and-oil;
took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gal
lons Devoe for the same two
houses; returned ten gallons.
The paint that covers lasts;
it’s all paint, true paint, and full
measure. Lead-and-oil is all
paint, but not good paint; the
lead wants zinc. Better paint
Devoe. Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.

Master Edwin Johnson has his
colors flying at the top of the col
umn today, having in one long
stride passed the field which lay
in his van and made quite a gap
of 200 votes between the leader
of the race and his nearest oppo
nent. But his competitors say
that a paltry 200 votes is nothing
to overcome and are not in the
least discouraged by their rival’s
speed. So on with the race,
which has now become decidedly
interesting.
There are several other changes
in the totals, most noteworthy of
which is the handsome gain
shown in little Miss-Henry’s vote
of 173, which now places her
standing in close proximity to a
number of the boys, who will
either “have to hurry’’ or grace
fully and gallantly step aside
and allow their fair rivals the
road.
No change was published in the
vote Saturday, owing to the editor
running away with the ballot box
keys in his pocket, and when the
time came to count up, his ab
sence from town prevented the
the regular announcement of the
candidates’ standing. But this
will not happen again and the
baby’s race will never be lost
sight of.
The Independent wants the
pictures of all these sweet and
pretty babies, which will be
reproduced m our issue of Dec.
24th at the close of the contest.
We have something else to an
nounce within the next ten days
in regard to this contest, which
will arouse ‘further interest.
HIRED A VILLAIN
TO SHOOT MARSHAL.
Marsha] Carouthers Secured Drop
on Fellow Who Sought to
„ Take His Life.
j Jonesboro,, Nov. 26. — Last
' night there was trouble at Hoxie.
: The city marshal had. raided the
gambling dens and burned some
crap tables when one of the fra
ternity became incensed and, it
is said, hired a man to shoot the
marshal.
The man who was to do the
job got beastly drunk and gave
the plot away. He was arrested
by the marshal and placed in
jail. The principal! in the plot
then armed himself with a rifle
i and began to look for the mar
j shal. He learned that he was in
a hotel and went into the door,
pushing a boy in front of him,
and the marshal got the drop on
! him and compelled him to throw
| up his hands. The marshal then
took two big guns off him.
Ex-Marshal Burrows was be
hind the marshal and drew his
| pistol to defend the marshal if
necessary.
