Evidence Not Sufficient To
Hold. |
Harry Owens, the negro ar- j
rested on the charge of stealing
$25 in money from the room of
Frank Foushee in the Watson
building, last Wednesday, was
discharged in a hearing before
Esquire Loftin Monday morn
ing, the evidence being insuffi
cient to bind him over.
The ne -o was charged with
gaining ac ess he room by a
key and - ha xen $25 in
money, which oeen left in
a sack in the oureau drawer by
the owner, who soon after dis
covered his loss
Hirseh Residence Traded.
The home of L. Hirseh has been
traded to Eugene Bracy for a
very handsome home in Little
Rock, valued at $12,000. for
which the latter receives $3,000
in addition to the Newport place.
Mr. Bracy has in turn conclud
ed a sale of the Hirseh property
to William Hinkle for $6,750,
which the latter will occupy up
on the removal of the Hirseh
family to Little Rock.
Mr. Bracy spent Monday in the
city, concluding the deal, which
| has been in progress for some
j time, but was not definitely con
| eluded until Monday.

Threw Clods At Ladies.
While Mrs. J. E. Williams and
Mrs. Claude Hogue were out
] driving Saturday evening, they
were provoked by Sonnie Coop
er, a notoriously mean negro
boy, who kept jumping on the
rear axle of their buggy.
After warning him, they pro
ceeded to use the whip, which
angered the negro. He jumped
off and began throwing dirt
and clods at them, one clod strik
ing Mrs. Williams on the cheek.
Mr. Williams was found and the
boy located. He tried to es
cape, but was caught and put
in jail by Marshal Martin.
He has a reputation of very
unsavory character and while
only 14 years, weighs about 150
pounds and is almost full grown.
He apparently needs a man’s
sentence.
Plan For Odd Fellows Industrial
School.
The Odd Fellows held a dis
trict meeting in Walnut Ridge
Thursday. In the afternoon
their deliberations were held in
their lodge room behind closed
doors- At 8 o’clock an open
session was held at the court
house at which J- E. Moore of
Smithville presided. This
! meeting was in the interest of a
'booster for the building of an
! industrial school on the Rob
1 bins’ farm in compliance with
1 the will of the late A- W. Shirey.
1 Several interesting addresses
were delivered along the line of
building such an institution.
Th.e opinion expressed by the
speakers was to the effect that
if the lodge didn’t comply with
the provisions of this will, they ]
are not entitled to any of the
property. The address of Dr.
G. W. Parker was specially fine
J. Bunk Wells, W- A. Cunning
ham and J. E. Moore delivered
earnest addresses favoring the
establishment of the home and
H- L. Ponder spoke in behalf of
the Commercial Club pledging
any assistance that they may
be able to extend. other
meeting will be held in October,
at which time there should be a
packed house of Walnut Ridge
bosiness men and women. Be
fore the subject of the building
of the orphanage on the Rob
bins’ farm was taken up last
night, H. L. Jones read an ex
cellent article on Odd Fellowship
and J. T. Watson delivered a
splendid address on “Why the
I. 0. O. F. is one of the greatest
orders of today.”— Walnut
