RIVER WORK AT BATESVILLE.
Beginning with next week, work
will proceed in earnest with the con
struction of the dam at the lock just
below town. Capt. Parkin has moved
his office down from Lock 2, and
brought with him a part of the force
employed there. About sixty men are
employed here now, and more are
offering. This force will probably be
divided into three shifts, each work
ing eight hours; and the work will
go on night and day. Practically all
the material is on the ground for the
construction of the dam, and it will re
quire about sixty days to complete the
work. Meantime about forty men
will be kept at work at Lock "2, and
the dam there put in as soon as the
dam here is completed. There seems
to be no trouble about getting labor.
The dredge boat, so necessary to the
construction of the dam, has been
eighteen days in cutting her way
down here from Lock 2. The river is
so low she had to dig her own channel
much of the way. She is now cutting
the bar below the cedar yard, and will
reach the lock by Monday. Her first
work will be to tear out the coffer
dam, and then clear the bottom of the
river to bedrock for the foundation of
the dam. The office, boarding house,
shops and yards on the river bank
again present a scene of bustling
activity.—Batesville Guard.
CONVICT ASSAULTS OFFICER.
Brinkley, Aug. 15.—J. B. Dunlap,
who has charge of the chain gang
employed on the streets, was assault
ed today by Jim Harris, one of the
gang. They were replacing a crossing
near the southern limits of the city
when the negro demanded the keys to
his leg chain lock, and being refused,
attempted to strike Officer Dunlap
with a spade, but was prevented from
doing so. However, he struck Mr.
Dunlap several times in the face with
his fist. When the negro saw he could
not get the keys he ran. Officer Dun
lap, being unarmed, cpuld not pursue
him, but he reported the matter at
once and a party of officers and citi
zens went in pursuit, though the fugi
tive has not yet been captured.
The negro was working out a fine of
over $60 for carrying a pistol and
being disorderly. He had escaped
once before.
JOINT DISCUSSION
DATES CANCELLED.
Governor Davis left the joint cam
paign at Siloam Springs Wednesday
and arrived in Little Rock Friday. He
will re-enter the campaign at Boone
ville August 16. In regard to the
scenes at Siloam, Gov. Davis said to a
Gazette reporter that the accounts
which had gone out were somewhat
exaggerated and that the demonstra
tions were by no means so fierce as
they had been reported. Four of the
original appointments of Gov. Davis
with Mr. Myers have been cancelled
by agreement of the democratic and
republican committees.
ALLEGED TRACY RELICS.
J. A. Peter, proprietor of the Star
barber shop, received a gun and a lock
of hair by express. He thought some
friend he had given “hot air” in days
agone had committed suicide and sent
to him the gun as a memento and a
last bequest. But when he called for
his mail he found a letter from his
brother, George T. Peter, who is
sheriff of Sachoncounty, Washington,
telling that the gun was one of the
many in possession of the outlaw,
Harry Tracy, when he killed himself,
and Hie lock of hair was cut from
Tracy’s head.—Jonesboro Enterprise.
SHOT STRUCK MOTHER.
Mammoth Spring, Aug. 15.—Forsh
ler brothers, who live eight miles east
of here, got into a difficulty over the
division of some property. Taylor
1 Forshler shot his brother with a Win
chester, inflicting a serious wound,
and attempted to shoot again when
their mother ran in between them and
received the shot, which happened to
strike her left rib and passed off, in
flicting only a flesh wound. Taylor
immediately fled, but officers are out
after him.
RECRUTING STATION RECORD.
Jonesboro, Aug. 15.—The United
States recruiting station in Jonesboro
has sent out 287 men since it was es
tablished a year ago, most of whom
went from here to the Presidio at San
Francisco. The station is now in
charge of Sergeant Daniel L. Hood, of
the general recruiting service, with
headquarters for Arkansas at Little
Rock.
About two-thirds of the applicants
are refused on account of failing to
possess the qualifications necessary to
pass the examination, about half of
whom are not examined, their de
fects being apparent, without the reg
ular proceedings.
CAMPBELL BROTHERS’ SHOWS.
Circus day comes but once a year in
South Omaha. Yesterday the Camp
bell Bros, circus gave two perform
ances and both were well patronized
and highly spoken of by all. The
Campbell boys, incidentally, are Ne
braska natives, having left their fath
er’s farm at Fairbury ten years ago to
try their hand at the circus business.
They are regarded as thorough show
men, have built up an immense busi
nes and their show is noted for its
scarcity of grafters and leeches which
usually follow a circus. Last night’s
performance crowded the big tent to
its utmost capacity.-*-World-Herald.

wearing of their uniforms “every day
aud Sunday too,” by the members of
the state guard. The uniforms are
the state’s property, as is all the
equipment of the various companies

and this time he is much more in ear
nest than before. “If I cannot pre
vent i: in any other way,” he said, “I
shall order the recall of all the uni
forms of the companies whose mem
bers persist in the practice.”—Newark
Journal.
