That “Hot Bunch” Must Have Coolei
Off Before They Reached New
port—Score 7 to 6.
"1 -
Newport made it three straight
from Poplar Bluff by taking the
game Friday afternoon at Sports
man’s park by the score of
7 to 6.
-vSStays and Austell were in the
^nts for Newport, Wagner and
Grey for the Bluff. Grey had
a finger hurt in the fourth inning
and was succeeded behind the
bat by Price.
A good sized crowd witnessed
the closing performance. The
game started off fast and was
played in one hour and thirty
, ihinutes. There was no kicking
on the decisions of Umpire Bob
Simmons, and the exhibition was
one of the cleanest ever seen on
the local grounds.
Newport scored one in the first
on two hits and a base on balls.
Another was added in the second,
two in the third and one in the
fourth. Then Wagner settled
down and for three innings there
was nothing doing. They scored
two more in the eighth and that
was all of it.
Poplar Bluffgottwoin the sec
ond, one in the eighth and three
- in their half of the ninth, but
could not quite tie ihe score.
There were no really special feat
ures, just a fast, snappy game
of ball.

Old Grudge Causes Fight.
Lonoke, Aug. 25.—J. J. Put
nam, 22 years of age, was prob
ably fatally stabbed this evening
by John Baldwin. Baldwin used
a large knife and cut an ugly
gash in Putnam’s left side just
below the heart.
The affair grew out of an old
grudge between Putnam and
Baldwin’s brother. Putnam has
an excellent reputation in the
neighborhood of his home, which
is near Lonoke.
Baldwin jumped on his horse
immediately after the stabbing
and has so far not been cap
tured. Officers are in pursuit of
him.
No Fever at Lake Village.
Lake Village, Aug. 25.—The
report that yellow fever exists at
Lake Village is untrue. There
has not even been a suspicious
case in the town. The people of
Lake Village realize the serious
ness of the situation, and if a
suspicious case occurs the whole
world will be notified of the fact.
Sues For Damages.
Hot Springs, Aug. 25.—W. S.
Williams, a carpenter, today filed '
a $5,000 damage suit against W. '
E. Massey, a former merchant,
alleging that Massey assaulted '
him a few days ago with a piece; ’
of wood, breaking three ribs and; '•
loing him other bodily harm. ^
DOESN’T REGARD COUNTY LINES.
Judge Moose Says Three-Mile Law Is Net
Limited By County Boundaries.
Russellville, Aug. 25.—Circuit
Judge William L. Moose has ad
dressed the following letter to S.
G. Harris and others of Ross,
relative to an interesting con
struction of the three-mile law:
' “I have your letter stating
that the county court of Pope
county had recently made an
order prohibiting the sale of
wine and other intoxicating
liquors within three miles of a
certain church situated in that
county, that the three-mile limit
described in the order reaches
into and embraces certain terri
tory in Johnson county; and that
some persons there contend that
the order has no force beyond
the limits of Pope county.
“As it is a matter of public
concern, you ask my opion as to
whether the order was effective
within that part of the three
mile radius that lies in Johnson
county. I answer that it is.
Assuming that the order was
regularly made, it reaches to the
full limit of three miles from the
church in all directions, regard- j
less of county lines. Our supreme
court has so decided in the case
3f Wilson vs. Thompson, 56 Ark.,
page 110. The court in that case
states in effect that it is not the
>rder of the county court, in and
)f itself, that prohibits, but that
t is the statute under which the
:ourt acts that gives the order
vitality. So that it is not in fact!1
i court exercising jurisdictioni
)eyond the territorial limits of
the county: it is the statute
which the county court sets ir
motion that prohibits, and not
the order itself.”
