Vaude venter Says He Will Not Be
Ignored and Wants a Divi
sion of Time.
Governor Jeff Davis on Monday ad
dressed a letter to Judge Carroll D.

a candidate for governor, the gov
ernor desired to meet him at the fol
lowing places and times:
July 3, at Brinkley.
July 4, at Jonesboro.
July 11, at Corwin, Saline county.
July 13, at Hampton.
July 16, at Princeton.
July 18, at Magazine.
A newspaper reporter found Judge
Wood in bed from illness'and when
asked about Gov. Davis’ letter Judge

Davis just as soon as he can get to^the
governor’s appointments. Judge
Wood has already accepted an invita
tion to address the people of South
east Arkansas at Warren on July 4 on
the occasion of the opening of Brad
ley county’s new court house.
Hon. A. F. Vandeventer of Morril
ton, who was in Little Rock Monday,

written to Judge Wood, Mr. Vande
venter did not propose to be ignored.
He said he would be present at all
the places mentioned in Gov. Davis’
list and would demand a division of
time.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
RUSSELL HARDING’S VISIT.
Vice-President and General Man
ager Russell Harding of the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern railway re
turned from a trip over the Valley
road Sunday night and left Monday
morning in a special train for a trip
over the White River branch of the
Iron Mountain. The general man
ager took a ride over the new road
which the Missouri Pacific is building
from McGehee south to Concordia,
which is to be a portion of a through
line from St. Louis to New Orleans;
This road has been built from McGe
hee to a point beyond the Louisiana,
line, but none but work trains are
being run over it yet.—Little Rock
Democrat.
* *
*
Railway building in the United
States has not progressed as rapidly
during the first six months of 1903 as
had been expected. The new mileage
completed during the first half of 1902
amounted to 2,314 miles, and the total
for the entire twelve months of that
year aggregated 5,684 miles. It has
been confidently expected that the
track laid in 1903 would exceed 6,000
miles.
* *
* .
Construction of the Missouri Pa
cific’s new line between Marianna and
Blanton, Ark., to form a part of the
Memphis-New Orleans trunk line of
that system, has reached the stage
now where early completion of the
line is assured. As soon as the June
rise passes out of the Mi sissippi
river and the lowlands of eastern Ark
ansas have drained out, the activities
will receive a marked impetus.
WHERE IS WELLS?
Little Rock, June 29.—George
Wells, a well known and prosperous
young business man of Monticello,

Rock with a party of friends Wednes

tan hotel. He paid his bill Thursday
morning and left the hotel, since
which time he has not been heard
from.
Wells is about 37 years of age and
is highly connected in Drew and ad
joining counties. He was well fixed
financially and has a prosperous busi
ness at Monticello.
ENTERTAINED AT CARDS.
Mrs. Wm. Egan entertained Mon
day evening a number of the young
lady and gentleman friends of her
son, W. Bennett Egan, the event
being a complete surprise to him.

at cards and very delicious refresh
ments completed this informal affair.
Those present were Misses Noreene

MURDERER’S REMAINS
UNDER THE SOD.
Daugherty’s Burial in Potter’s Field '
Contrasted With That of “Buck
foot” Williams. (
Hot Springs, June 29.—This morn- I
ing the remains of Jim Daugherty, i
the murderer of Policeman Jack Don- 1
ahue, who was to have been banged i
in August and who last Saturday
killed “Buck-foot” Williams, a fellow
prisoner, and later committed sui
cide, were buried in the potter’s field.
All of yesterday the undertaker’s
establishment where the body was
transferred from the jail was thronged
with the curious who wanted to view
the remains of the man who had
proven himself such a monster.
The body had been embalmed with
out removing the blood-stained gar
ments, the eyes were open and star
ing and an agonizing and terrible ex
pression contorted the features, indi
cating that the man died in great
agony. His throat was gashed on
each side and his gray, Btubby beard
and general unkempt condition pre
sented a hideous spectacle.
The body of Roger (“Buck-foot”)
Williams, whom Daugherty killed, lay
beside that of Daugherty, presenting
an appearance in striking contrast.
It was attired in an evening suit and
encased in an attractive and expen
sive casket. His remains were ship
ped to Louisville, Ky., for interment.
COUNCIL CONVENES.
At a meeting of the city council
Monday evening, with all the mem
bers present except N. B. Wisbon, the
minutes of the two preceeding ses
sions were approved and the usual
accounts allowed.
A statement of the city’s standing
with the Newport Water Company
was made, showing the hydrant rent
als from January 16, 1900 to January
16, 1903, to be 88,394.46, none of which
have been paid, though scrip has been
tendered in payment of same and was
refused by the company. Scrip was
then worth but 60c on the dollar, but
now having reached 76c, the water
company is willing to accept same,
provided interest be paid on the old
debt. This interest amounts to 8806.
93, making a total of 89,201.38, for
which amount in scrip the city may
square itself up to January 16, 1903.
The matter was discussed briefly
but remains in the hands of the Fi
nance committee.
RAILROAD BUILDERS
DISCOVER ORE.
Harrison, Ark., June 29.—Some line
specimens of ore are being brought in
from the Missouri Pacific right of way
fifteen miles north-west of Harrison.
It is reported that about five tons
were blown out by the graders there
last week. One of the engineers on
the road states that it is the first time
in the history of railroad building
where ore has been blown out while
grading a road.
The report also comes that zinc and
lead are being found along the right
of way on Cheatham creek, ten miles
north of this place.
Col. Barney Bell, manager of the
Beulah mine, has just shipped thirty
tons of zinc ore to Joplin. The ore is
very rich, the assay showing 63.10
metallic zinc.
PICNIC THURSDAY.
The Methodist Sunday school has
invited the Presbyterian Sunday
school to unite with them in a picnic
to be given at the Confederate park
on Thursday. The children are re
quested to meet at the court house at
8:30 on that morning, where convey
ance will be furnished all those who
are not otherwise provided for. The
Jacksonport Sunday school has also
been invited to attend, and a very
pleasant time is confidently expected.
PETER FULGHAM HELD.
Little Rock, June 29.—Coroner
Vaughter held an inquest yesterday
afternoon over the body of Joe
Campbell, who was killed Saturday

returned a verdict that the killing
