NEWPORT TO HAVE
A NATIONAL BANK.
Stockholders of Jackson County Bank
Decide to Make that Institution a
Bank of Issue.
The general confidence in the future
of Newport as the leading city of
Northern Arkansas could hardly be
more unmistakably manifested than
in the number of new enterprises that
have been organized and the strength
ening and entrenching of old institu
tions to better meet the demands of a
future that promises increased busi
ness.
Such an evidence of faith in the
city’s future is found in the action of
the stockholders of the Jackson Coun
ty Bank, when at a meeting held
Wednesday evening, it was voted to
make that institution a national bank.
With a paid up capital stock of $50,
000, for the law governing national
banks requires that the whole capital
stock be paid up, the First National
Bank of Newport will within the next
two or three weeks succeed the Jack
son County Bank.
The new institution will be strictly
under the direction of the Comp
troller of Currency at Washington
and will issue its own notes. The of
ficers will remain the same and the
change will be a distinction without a
difference in so far as the manage
ment of the institution is concerned.

Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Wygant
of the Sixth Infantry, U. S. A., sta

commanding the department of the

INSISTS ON THE FINE.
Chancellor Leatherman Rescinds the
Jail Sentence Imposed Upon Col.
Davies For Reflecting Upon
Honesty of Court.
Hot Springs, Ark., April 15.—Chan
cellor Leland Leatherman yesterday
rescinded the jail sentence recently
imposed upon Col. R. G. Davies, a
prominent attorney of this city, for
contempt of court, but the chancellor
refused to release Col. Davies from
the payment of the $50 fine, although
petitioned by all the prominent local
attorneys to do so. The petition was
without the knowledge of the attorney
and waB a surprise to him. In modi
fying his recent ruling the chancellor
stated that while he regarded the of
fense Berious in the extreme, he
would rescind the jail sentence, but
insist upon the payment of the fine.
Col. Davies will now have to pay the
$50 or go to jail.
MOUNTAIN SHOPS
ESCAPE DESTRUCTION.
At about 7:30 o’clock Tuesday night
the engineer of the stationary plant
at the Iron Mountain shops in North
Little Rock blew the big steam whistle
calling attention to a Are that had
started in the frame building, used as
a car repair shop. In Ave minutes
the entire building was a mass of
Aames, with no hope in the world of
saving it.
Every engine in the surrounding
yards and round house, that had
steam up, took up tbo alarm of Are,
it was well they did, as it spurred the
shop employes to quick action. They
gave a good account of themselves,
and much credit is due them for the
conAning of the Aames to the build
ing that it started in.
The total loss will almost reach 825,
000, §20,000 to the railroad company
and §5,000 to the employes.—Capital
