remarked an unknown white
man about 22 years old, when
rescued from the river Saturday |

Crow and W. H. Horton and
their sons, Will Crow and Ralph
Horton.
They were passing in a launch
when they saw the young man
strike the water and went to his
rescue. He was swimming up
stream when they came up to
him. He had removed his coat
and shoes, which he left on
the bridge. He got, them
after his rescue and was last

l IN SOCIETY, j
—
CLOSE OF PRE-LENTEN SEASON.
The dawn of Wednesday morn- j
ing will usher in the forty days
known in Catholic and Episcopal
religious circles as Lent. It is a
time set aside by them as a pe-j
riod of quietude and prayer, pre
paratory to the Eastertide.
This year Easter is very late, j
and the social season has been of j
extra long duration and has been i
one of unusual brilliancy, and
the society-goers, whether Pro
testant or Catholic, will no doubt
be glad of a little rest before the i
advent of the Eastertide.
There has scarcely been a dull
afternoon or evening since
Thanksgiving, when the mem
bers of the Newport club for
mally opened the social season
with their third annual Thanks
giving ball, but notwithstanding
Lent is on there will be a number
of delightful social events and
some of the clubs will keep up
their regular weekly meetings.
CLUB DANCE.
Newport society was out in
full force Monday evening to en
9
- j '
joy a delightful dance given in j
the club rooms by the members
of the popular Newport club, j
whose entertainments are be-;
coming quite numerous and al
ways enjoyable.
The evening was fine, the mu
sic first class and everybody en
joyed the occasion to the utmost.
Those present were Messrs, and
Mesdames H. G. Bunn, B. W.

MAY BE CANDIDATE
FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE.
J.udge M. M. Stuckey is being
urged by friends over this dis
trict to become a candidate for
circuit judge. For some time his
name has been mentioned in con
nection with this office and the
suggestion of his candidacy has
been received with popular favor,
especially in his home county.
Judge Stuckey is an esteemed
member of the local bar, for he
is regarded a very able exponent
of the law and well versed in the
decisions of the court which
have established the construction
to be placed upon doubtful points,
relative to which the law makers
were not so explicit as they
might have been had they fore
seen the controversies to arise
upon these fine points.
A man of judicial temperament,
who could without prejudice de
termine justice and the intent of
the statute, laying aside all out
side considerations. With an ac
tive mind, capable of sifting the
specious argument of contending
counsel and determining in how
far the reasoning was based upon
the law, Judge Stuckey possesses
those qualities which would
promise in him an able, fearless
judge, worthy of the ermine.
The honor is worthy of aspira
tion, and while it would doubtless
be a sacrifice upon the part of
Judge Stuckey in giving up a
more lucrative practice than the
salary of the judgeship, it can
hardly be refused by any lawyer
when called upon by his friends
and fellow-citizens.
It is generally reported that
Judge Fulkerson will not be a
candidate for re-election and posi
tively known that Mr. Oldfield
will not. Independence county
has had both offices for a num
ber of years and it is now Jack
son county’s time.
MAN MANGLED IN
AUGUSTA ACCIDENT.
Augusta, March 6.—An un
known colored man was run over
and instantly killed at this place
today. Just how the accident
occurred is not known, but it is
thought that the man was steal
ing a ride. The body was terri
bly mangled, the head being
severed from the trunk, as was
one leg.
ST. PAUL’S PARISH.
Ash Wednesday services will
be held at the lodge room at 10
a. m. and 4:30 p. m., the former
being the holy communion and
the latter evening prayer and in
struction. Services will be held

A
TRAILING BAND
OF TRAIN ROBBERS
Who Are Supposed to Have Se
cured Big Booty in Their
Hold-Up of Frisco Ex
press Train.
Mammoth Spring, March 6. —
Superintendent Agee of the
Southern Express Company with
several detectives was here Fri-.
day and struck a hot trail of the
robbers who held up Frisco train I
No. 201 at Flickinger last Wed-1
nesday morning.
Thursday night two tramps
came to the Marshall distillery at
the outskirts of Mammoth Spring
and in paying for a bottle of
whisky displayed a large roll of
bank bills that would probably
run into several thousand dollars.
While they were at the bar
drinking a small son of Mr. ,
Marshall opened one of their va-I
Uses, out of curiosity, and found
two fine Colt’s 44-calibre revol
vers.
They had evidently been trav
eling on foot all day, being very
tired. They remained at the dis
tillery a while and left at dark,
saying they were going to Pop
lar Bluff, Mo.
When Marshall gave the de
tectives a description of these
persons today they remarked
that they were the men they had
been looking for. From the size
of the roll of greenbacks they
had, it is evident that they made
a much larger haul than the ex
press company is willing to give
out, which probably accounts for
iheir reticence on the amount
taken from the car.
SEVERE WINTER’S COST
TO FRUIT CROP.
Rogers, March 6. — John P. Lo
gan, president of the State Hor
ticultural society, estimates the
loss to the fruit crop by reason
of the severe winter at $100,000.
From the reports received
from all parts of the state he
says that he finds the peach crop
very materially injured. Ad
vices from the northwestern
part of the state, including this
and Washington counties, show
that all varieties of peaches are
entirely killed.
From Crawford and adjoining
counties the report comes that
they have been damaged at least
75 per cent, and further south
some damage has been done.
No damage has been done to
the apple crop, and the fruit
spurs on the apple trees are in
fine condition and at present
promise an abundant crop of all
varieties.
It is needless to say that small
fruit is safe and the prospects
were never better for a large
berry crop.
