Sensational Fist Fight.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 8.— A sensa
tional fist-fight between two'of
Little Rock’s best known citizens
occurred at Second and Main
streets late Friday afternoon.
The participants were former
Governor George W. Donaghey,
who has returned to contracting,
since his retirement from public
life, and has a contract for raz-;
ing the old building at Second
and Main and building a new one
for a new baking company. Mr.
Reyburn is agent for the adjoin- j
ing building, and they became
engaged in an altercation over
the fire wall.
Bystanders say that Mr. Rev
burn struck the first blow,
knocking the former governor to
I the ground.
The former chief executive was
on his feet at once, and then the
two went at it rough and tumble
Blows were passed by each, in
genuine pugilistic fashion and
Mr. Reyburn was knocked to his
knees at one time. They clinch
i ed and rolled over and hammered
j each other like a couple of school
boys.
By this time a considerable
crowd had assembled to watch
the affray, and Gen. Lloyd En
gland, just appointed Brigadier
General of the State Guard, Jus
tice of the Peace Andy Brown
and H. L. Remmel, U. S. Mar
shal, proceeded to separate
them. Even when they had been
separated, however, they broke
loose and landed a few more
blows before they were finally
restrained.
About this time Policeman
Jake Long appeared on the scene
and ordered the combatants to
appear in police court this
morning. i
It was remarked that it re
quired the efforts of the Ark
ansas National Guard, the feder
al government and the city po
lice department to separate the
combatants.
Kev. J. A. Sage of Conway,
who has been in Baltimore for
some time assisting in a revival
meeting, arrived on No. 3 yester
day and will have charge of the
choir at the Methodist church
during the revival to be begun
Sunday by Rev. Mr. Wilford.
Judge George T. Humphries
of Salem, who held chancery
court here this week, is think
ing of entering the race for con
gress, in response to the solici
tations of many friends through
out the district. Judge Hum
phries is a very fine man and
very popular in North Arkan
sas. It is a stereotyped phrase,
but “he wTould be hai’d to beat.”

The Verdict F»r McMichael. |
There was some surprise to
people who had listened at the
evidence from the start at the
size of the judgment in the Mc
Michael case- Most everyone
had conceded that a verdict
would be given the plaintiff,
but the general belief was that
he would get about $10,000.
This suit was begun on Tues
day noon, at Batesville and a
large number of witnesses testi
fied, among them eight or ten
from Little Rock. 1

SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Bedford’s Black-Draught
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. \Vhittaker, of
this place, “with sick headache, ana
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to fry
Thedrord’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and I found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand a!! the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.
Your druggist sells and recommends
Black-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a

plaintiff was asleep on a plat
form of the railroad company
and in some way was thrown
from the platform under the
wheels of the train. Both legs
were crushed below the knees,
and it was necessary to perform
several operations. Dr. V. F.
Imith, the company surgeon, was
one of the witnesses, and he tes
tified as to the difficult opera
tions necessary to save the
man’s life. The operation was
performed at St. Vincent’s in
Little Iiock, and Dr. Smith said
if the railroad company had not
promptly gotten McMichael to
the hospital he would surely
have died.
The theory of the railroad
company was that McMichael
was i*esponsible for his own in
jury, and that he placed him
self in jeopardy when he went
to sleep on the platform.
One point on which the case
rested was the fact that expert
engineers testified that it would
be almost impossible to stop the
engine in less than 900 feet,
while the engineer who was on
the engine at the time of the ac
cident testified that he stopped
the engine in about 500 feet.—
