will come to naught unless his prescription is
accurately compounded from drugs of known
purity and strength. A prescription often means
too much for any chance to be taken in the illing.
A Physician’s Dilemma
A doctor may dislike to tell you where to take
your prescription, because his motive may be
misunderstood, but he will be satisfied if you
bring it here. Our drugs fall short in nothing;
our compounding is accuracy itself, aud our
prices are always as low as they can be.

FIENDISH MURDER
OF FELLOW PRISONER.
Followed By Suicide of Condemned
tMurderer Jim Daugherty in Jail
at Hot Springs Saturday—
Leader of Foot Race Swin
dlers His Victim.
Hot Springs, Ark., June 28.—One of
the most atrocious murders in the
history of Hot Springs occurred here
Saturday morning shortly after 8
o’clock when Jim Daugherty, con
demned to die August 14 for the mur
der of Chief of Detectives Jack Doua
hue here on Christmas day last, de
liberately assaulted and killed with a
razor Roger Williams, a fellow pris
oner in the county jail and the leader
of the famous foot race swindlers.
The murder was so fiendish and de
liberate that the citizens were dumb
founded. Daugherty was searched
and relieved of a razor three weeks
ago during his trial and he held Wil
liams responsible for turning him up.
Williams at the time of his murder
was stooping over a wash basin wash
ing his face. Daugherty approached
from behind and, reaching close under
and across his victim’s abdomen,
brought the razor across, making a
gash twenty inches long and causing
the intestines to fall entirely out with
a torrent of blood. Daugherty then
called to Johnson, another of the foot
racers, to say his prayers and prepare
to die. Johnson pleaded with the
demon to spare him on account of his
wife and baby, and the man bent on
murder stoDued and called for Hein
man, another of the foot racers, bet
ter known as “Honey Grove Kid.”
Heinman had retreated to his cell and
closed the door after him. Daugherty
was peering into the cells and calling
for other prisoners to come out into
the corridor that he might slaughter
them when the jailer arrived and at
the point of a gun drove the infuriat
ed man into his cell and locked him in.
A mob of 500 people gathered at
the jail tonight and while the sheriff
was pleading with the people to let
the law take its course a female pris
oner in the corridor called out through
the windows that Daugherty had cut
his throat. The sheriff quickly in
vestigated and found that the mur
derer bad taken the steel ends of his
shoe strings, flattened them out and
made a two-inch incision on each side
of his throat, causing death. The
mob was allowed to view the remains
and quietly and quickly dispersed.
His cunuing and nerve had cheated
the gallows, but the angry people
were satisfied.
HORSE THIEVES CAPTURED
AFTER LONG TRAIL.
•
John and Si Clark of Jefferson town
ship, Independence county, were ar
rested at their home Friday evening
charged with stealing two horses
from R. E. Summerhill, living in the
Cherokee Nation eight miles west of
Ft. Smith, says the Batesville Bee.
The theft was committed some two
weeks ago. A young hired man of
Mr. Summerhill’s followed the thieves
to Madison county, where D. L. Kil
gore, deputy theriff of that county,
joined him. They were tracked to
their home near Sandtown and ar
rested as stated. The stolen horses
are at Cook & Landers’ stable and are
looking very badly, though they are
said to have been fat when stolen
two weeks ago.
The Clarks will be taken back to
the Indian Territory for trial as soon
as the papers can be prepared.
FEDERAL COURT GRANTS
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION.
Little Rock, June 28.—Judge Trieber
of the federal court yesterday even
ing granted a temporary restraining
order against the officers of the Crit
tenden county and the courts of the
Second judicial district to prevent the
trial of Capt. W. B. Mallory of Mem
phis under the De Rossett game law,
which prohibits non-residents from
hunting and fishing in this state.
The petition was filed by Senator
James P. Clarke and Judge P. M.
Rose of Little Rock, representing
Capt. Mallory and incidentally the
club men of Memphis, who desire to
test the constitutionality of the law.
Capt. Mallory was arrested in Crit
tenden county while in the act of
fishing. He was bound over to the
Crittenden county court.
MRS. MARTHA FREY DEAD.
Batesville, June 28.—Mrs. Martha

CITIZENS BREAKFAST
IMMIGRATION AGENTS.
A party of about thirty immigration
agents of the Missouri Pacific-Iron
Mountain system arrived in Newport
Saturday night at 11 o’clock in a Pull
man attached to No. 6 from Little
Rock, where they had been quite
royally treated by the Board of Trade
and afterwards taken for a short run
up the Fort Smith branch.
The party was in charge of E. E.
Barclay, assistant immigration agent
for the Iron Mountain, and was met
early next morning by a delegation of
Newport citizens and taken for an
hour’s drive over the city.
With appetites made keen by this
early morning drive, the elegant
breakfast prepared for the visitors at
the Hazel Hotel was heartily enjoyed.
The club rooms were thrown open
and their short stay in Newport was
made pleasant as possible, consider
ing the hour and the day.
The departure of the branch train
was delayed over an hour and the
visitors expressed themselves as high
ly pleased and gratified at the hospi
tality shown them here and the
abundant evidence of the great future
of this town and section, when our
great sources of wealth become known
to the people of the North and East
and the tide of immigration turns to
ward Arkansas.
After the trip to Mount Olive, the
excursion party were held over in
Batesville for supper. Many of them
snent, the niabt here and others left
upon the Sunday evening trains for
various points north.
The immigration agents elected a
committee to draft resolutions, thank
ing H. C. Townsend for *the special
car and the people of Newport, Little
Rock and Batesville for courtesies
shown, which we are informed will
appear in the St. Louis papers.

SISTER LUCY CLUB DEPART.
A party of twenty five gentlemen,
members of the Sister Lucy Club,
headed by Asa R. Bragg, arrived Sun
day noon from Little Rock and were
met here by three club members from
St. Louis, among them being H. C.
'fownsend, general passenger agent of
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
system.
The party took passage at once
aboard the Joe Wheeler, which had
been engaged for the occasion and
with two Newport members J. M.
Stayton and Capt. W. A. Joyce and
one guest J. O. Taylor, left for the
home of Capt. F. W. Tucker at Clover
Bend on Black River to spend their
annual five days outing and fishing
trip.
The old Joe Wheeler, though she
has seen service for many years,
probably never carried a heavier
cargo of wet goods than upon this
trip, which assures the members a
good time without the extension of
such wishes by friends left behind.

ial term of the Independence county
