To Quell Populace.
United Press Cablegram.
Serejevo, Bosnia, June 9. —
A. score of Servian stores and
i dwellings were demolished in ri
» oting this afternoon. The po
)0i lice and soldiers are unable to
restrain the several localities,
^ and a number of Serbs have been
reported killed. With the fury
of the populace increasing late
this afternoon, slaughter of the
4 Serbs is feared when the bodies
of the assassin’s victims are re
mtoved. They are to be taken
^ toMetkovitsche on a special
train and carried to Trieste upon
the Austrian battleship and will
arrive at Vienna Thursday.
The Archduke Francis Ferdin

PEACE OF EUROPE IN
DANGER.
.United Press Dispatch.
London, June 29.—Horror ex
pressed over the assassination is
overshadowed by fear that the
gravest danger to the peace of |
^ Europe may result. The killing
is regarded as an expression of
K t^e Serbs’ determination to re- '
sist absorption and it is feared
other assassinations will follow
X if Austria, enraged by the
grime, orders further repressive
A measures against Slavs and
V4 Serbs, and even without such
measures the Servian and Rus- >
sian interests are expected to be !
drawn closer.
\ ^German influence over the <
heir to the Austrian throne is i
certain to increase with the re- {
wmoval of Ferdinand, who while
\ friend of Germany, was
strong enough to nullify the j
A German influence against Rus-;
sla. Germany will then be clear
ly lined up in a contest for the i
dominant position of central
Europe and the long feared
^ clash may come if the death of j
the Emperor follows the latest
shock. . . w j |

Scouts Arrive Home.
The Boy Scouts arrived home
from a week's hike on Spring
river, near Many Islands. The
boys are all wearing a healthy
coat of sunburn, which shows
they were out in the -great open
a good part of the time.
Hikes to Mammoth Spring and
Thayer, Mo., were among the
many pleasant features and all
along the line, and at places vis
ited the Boy Scouts were the
admiration of all for their man
liness and good behavior, which
is the first principle of scoutism.
Armed with their implements
of war, blankets, frying pans
and hatchets, the boys came
home with the greatest praise
for their elders, who accompani
ed them, George A. Hillhouse, J.
F. McCuistion, J. V. Ridley and
S. R. Phillips, who did all they
could to make every minute of
the boys’ trip a pleasure and
mighty well did they succeed.
The scouts who went along
were:
Neill Phillips, Vernon Ridley,
Frank Jones, Alcorn Minor, Geo.
Jowers, Jamies Dumas, Lawrence
Bevans Hillhouse, Willis Hirsch,
Norman Campbell, Russell Good
rich, Adrain Balmaz, Owen Ard,

WILL BATEMAN
SHOOTS HODGE
Officer Was Seeking To Arrest
Dee Hodge When Latter
Assaulted Him.
Dee Hodge of Oil Trough, who
has had more or less trouble in
the local courts, was shot three !
time between 8 and 9 o’clock Sun
day evening near the home of
Mrs. W- I. Long, when he re
sisted arrest and assaulted Con- ;
stable and Deputy Sheriff Will
Bateman.
Officer Bateman, accompanied |
by Lee Long, went to Hodge, who
was in a buggy with Padgett
Weatherman, on the public road,
a short distance from the Long
home, Mrs. Long having com
plained of Hodge’s shearing and
disturbing the peace. Ilodge was
boisterous from drinking and as
saulted Bateman, striking him
several times before the latter
crew -his revolver and opened
fire, shooting three or four
times. i » *, -* fc* -«
One bullet struck Hodge in the
i j i i • i i ii i
ureasi, anuuiei m me auuuiiienai
region and a third passing
through one arm. He was car-'
ried at once to the home of his
mother at Elmo, where his
wounds were dressed by Dr. W.
F- Wilson and Dr. L. E. Willis.
Mr. Bateman, who is a young
man of the very best reputation,
and has never had any trouble of
any character either as an officer
or citizen, though he has served
for many years as constable,
came to this city Monday morn
ing. He feels that his act was
justified in defense of his own
life and is willing to surrender to
the proper authorities at any
time.
Hodge’s condition is regarded
ias very critical, with chances a
i gainst his recovery.

STORY OF ASSASSINATION.1
Sarajevo, Bosenia, June 28.— !
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, j
heir to the Austria-Hungary 1
throne, and the duchess of Hoh
enberg, his morgantic wife, were
shot dead today by a student in
the rpain street of this city, the 1
Bosnian capital, a shoYt time af
ter they had escaped death from -
a bomb hurled at the royal au
tomobile. They were slain while
passing through the city on their
annual visit to the annexed pro
vinces of Bosnia and Hetezego
yina.
I
The archduke was struck full j
in the face and the duchess was
shot through the abdomen and
throat. They died a few minutes
after reaching the palace, to
which they were hurried.
Those responsible tor the as
sassination took care that it
should prove effective, as there
were two assaults, the first
with a bomb and the second
with a revolver. The bomb was
thrown at the royal automobile
as it was proceeding to the town
hall, where a reception was to be
held. The archduke saw the
deadly missile hurtling through
the air and warded it off with
his arm. It fell outside the car
and exploded, slightly wounding
two aids-de-camp in a second car
and half a dozen spectators.
It was on the return of the
procession that the tragedy was
added to the long list of those
that have darkened the pages of
the recent history of the Haps
burgs. As the royal automobile
readied a prominent point in the
route to the palace, an eighth
grade student, Gavrid Prinzip,
sprang out of the crowd and
poured a deadly fusilade of bul
lets from an automatic pistol at
the archduke and princess.
—
WAS A SERBIAN PLOT. j
The discovery of an unexplod
ed bomb made in a Servian fac
tory together with the large a
miount of money in the assas-1
sin’s room, partly confirmed re-1
ports that the assassination was
a Serb plot.

about three miles west of Cali
co Rock, found a forty grain
pearl in White river near his
home the first of the week,
which he sold to J. S. Lane of
this place for $100.

Boy Accidentally Shot.
Our Richwoods correspondent
informs us that D**wey Webb
was shot by Ernest Pyland near
Richwoods last Saturday. While
out hunting they had become
separated and coming near each
other in some cane, Ernest fired !
at Dewey thinking he was a j
coon. Luckily the gun was load
ed with small shot and the dis*,
tance was sufficient for the shot
to scatter. About 35 shot en
tered the body and arm of Mr.
Webb and at first it was thought
to be serious, but he is now con
sidered out of danger. The two
boys are good friends and Er
nest was almost prostrated when
he discovered the result of his
shot.—Walnut Ridge Blade.
Rev. W. F. Way man, a Metho
dist minister of Sulphur Rock,

Gas Explosion Injures 22.
United Press Dispatch.
Milwaukee, Wis., June 29.—22
men were injured this morning
in an explosion of gas from the
new intake tunnel under Lake
Michigan off Lake Park. The ex
tent of the damage to the tun
nel is unknown, as yet. The less
seriously injured placed the dis
abled in cars which were rushed
to the shaft and lifted to the
surface.
So badly injured are those
brought to the hospital that it
is impossible to get a coherent
account of the accident. It is
presumed that some one lighted
a match although warned not to
smoke. It is believed that all
will recover, though painfully
and some seriously burned.
