WHITE RIVER RAILWAY
ROUTE FINALLY LOCATED.
Forsythe, Mo., Dec. 13.—The White
River Railroad has been definitely lo
cated from Carthage to a point four
or five miles up Turkey creek into
the country. The engineers have just
completed the location of the bridge
across White river at the mouth of
Roark. It is expected that the loca
tion will be entirely completed within j
the next thirty days, and that con
struction work will begin immediately
on the several tunnels along the route.
Tunnels will be required at the head
of Railey’s creek on the east edge of
Stone county, Mo., and one at the
head of Turkey creek in Arkansas.
The latter will be the longer tunnel.
The Missouri Pacific interests will
shortly incorporate a company to be
known as the Springfield and South
ern Railway for the purpose of ex
tending the Bagnell line through
8pringtield, Mo., south to a connect
ion with the White river road at a
point near the west line of Taney
county. The Missouri Pacific engi
neers are now in Springfield locating
the depot site and terminals for the
new company. It is understood that
the Springfield and Southern and the
White*River Railroad will be in op
eration by the spring of 1904. They
will give the mineral and timber sec
tions of Taney county direct access to
the Kansas City and St. Louis markets.
The certainty of transportation has
caused a big rush of investors and
speculators to this section.
HEAVY RAINS
THREATEN OVERFLOW.
Whijte River is even thus early after
the recent rains on quite a rampage
and is rising at such a fast rate, that
many are alarmed for fear an over
flow may yet prove the outcome. At
neon the guage report was seventeen
a rnf feet since Satur
day, three of which are credited to the
time between 6 and 12 o’clock Monday
morning. If this rate continues, a
foot rise to every two hours, the dan
ger mark will soon be reached.
The local rainfall was 3.9 inches and
while do reports have been received
; from Fayetteville and Northern Ar
kansas, the rains are known to have
been general in scope and very heavy.
The high water mark of the year
will probably be reached in about
three days and it is certain that much
bottom land will be covered by water,
though the crops in such threatened
fields have nearly all been gathered.
The new levee has never been
tested, but many old Bettlers, who
have observed numerous overflows,
believe that the heavy rains of the
past two days are certain to show
whether or not Newport is protected
from such inundations.
ARRESTED FROM ARRESTING.
Little Rock, Dec. 13—A white man,
giving his name as D. W. Chumley of
White county, arrested T. H. McDow
ell, an inmate of the Confederate
Home, in North Little Rock Saturday
morning, and filed an affidavit against
him before Justice Meisner on the
charge of having murdered Mists
Florence Shillcutt. He said that Mc
Dowell came to his house near Beebe
the day following the murder, with a
quantity of bloody clothing in hia pos
session, and he has since been work
ing up the case against him. Justice
Meisner, with other officials, took so
little stock hi the charge, believing
that it has no foundation, that he re
leased McDowell on his own recogni
zance, pending further investigation.
Chumley was then arrested on the af
fidavit of Deputy Prosecuting Attor
ney Rhoton on the charge of imper
sonating an officer and carrying a
pistol, and was placed in jail. He
wears a Chicago detective agency
star and claims to be a duly accredited
officer.
KATE CLAXTON ENJOYED.
It is not often that a stage celebrity
visits Newport and Kate Claxtou with
a clever company in a presentation of
“The Two Orphans” was well received
by a very faff audience at the opera
house Saturday night.
The drama is deeply pathetic, at
least the acting of this star makes it
so. Tears come to the eyes of those
who are not wont to thus display their
sense of feeling. The leading lady is
quite elderly, but moves with an agil
ity and grace of younger years. Her
support was good and the whole exe
cution of the play conspired to make
the performance strong and success
ful.

UNCLE JOE WAS HONEST.
Uncle Joe Cannon’s speeches before
the house are said to possess a flaw
which might prove injurious to his
reputation as au orator if the fervent
old gentleman’s buoyant zeal and
good nature did not offset it. And he
knows this as well as any of his crit
ics.
A few days after his speech on the
status of national finances last session
went into the Congressional Record,
a friend went to him with the remark:
“That was a mighty good speech of
yours, Uncle Joe.”
“Yes,” was the response, “Courts
gets up a good speech.”
Courts—Jim Courts of West Tennes
see—is the clerk of Mr. Cannon’s com
mittee on appropriations and is an
eminent celebrity as such at the
capital.
“Did Courts write that speech?”
was the obvious question.
Mr. Cannon lighted his cigar and
then answered, “Certainly. You
might have known it was not min<\
The sentences are all completed.”
JEALOUS WIFE SHOT HUSBAND.
Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 13—Sure
that her husband was paying at- I
tentions to another woman and with !
jealousy raging in her heart, Rosa
Scott bought a revolver and a supply
of ammunition before starting out to
locate the couple. At 9 o’clock this
evening at a dark point on Ouachita
avenue, she met them and opened
fire. The first shot struck James
Scott over the left eye, killing him in
stantly, and in rapid succession she
fired three shots at Rena Smith, one
taking effect an inch over the heart,
another in the left thigh and the third
in the left shoulder. Rosa Scott is in
jail, where she admitted that she shot
to kill, but that she had no intention
of killing her husoand, and that he
jumped in front of the other woman
to grab the revolver. All parties are
colored. «
TRAIN TWICE WRECKED
IN SAME PLACE.
South bound freight train, First 97
was wrecked Saturday night north of
Bradford, caused by a wet piece of
ground, which got the track out of
shape. Several cars were ditched
and passengers 2 and 5 were sent
around the Memphis branches via
Wynne.
The second section of No. 97 was
wrecked at the same place the fol
lowing night, Sunday, with similar
results, a few freight cars being
ditched, but no one injured. In each
instance the wrecker was sent to the
seen© from Little Rock.
THROWN FROM WAGON.
Batesville, Dec. 13.—Geo. Sharp,
who lives a few miles from Newark,
and his little son, Bennie, aged 13
years, were returning from Newark,
where they had been to sell some cot
ton seed, when the mules by some
means left the road and threw one
side of the wagon in a ditch, throwing
both Mr. Sharp and his son out. Mr.
Sharp escaped with a few bruises, but
the boy received injuries which proved
fatal. The boy suffered greatly from
his injuries until Wednesday, when he
died. He was buried at Hopewell
Thursday.
NEW CACHE RIVER STEAMER.
Cotton Plant, Dec. 13.r-Col. H. F.
Maberry made a trip down Cache
river on his new packet, the Gladys
Maberfy, Thursday and had a good
cargo of freight on the return trip.
The Gladys Maberry is one of the
finest boats on the river.

FACTORY FOR JONESBORO.
Jonesboro, Dec. 13.—Stockholders ^|j
if the Hiatt Wagon Company met and
perfected an organization by electing
P. C. Barton, J. L. Burns, J. Hiatt, G.
W. Oulberhouse and J. B. Gregg, a
ooard of directors. They, in turn,
alected G. W. Oulberhouse president
and J. W. Hiatt secretary, The com
pany will be known as the Hiatt
Wagon Company, and will be incor
porated with $20,000 capital stock,
$10,000 of which has been paid in, and
$10,000 will remain as treasury stock
to be sold later. The old Robertson
hotel block has been purchased for a
site and work will be commenced at
once on the erection of the building.
The company is composed of some of
the leading business men of the city,
which fact assures its success from the
beginning. They will manufacture
wagons and carriages exclusively.
The reporter for the Independent
has been trying to run down the ru
mor of a hold-up, said to have oc
curred Saturday night, when thugs
tried to relieve a man working for
Henry Kath of his valuables and
change. The Btory seems to be a
fake, as none of the officers know
anything relative to same, There are
any number of rough looking tramps
here however, who need watching, or
what would be better, walking papers.
