7
The recent acceptance of regu
lar employment in the legal de
partment of the Iron Mountain
railroad by Hon. Silas D. Camp
bell of Newport, one of the
brightest members of the bar of
North Arkansas, recalls an inci
dent that occurred here at the
last September term of circuit
court.
Campbell was the leading at
torney for the plaintiff in the suit
of Tomlinson against the rail
road, which aroused much local
interest. Gray Carroll of Little
Rock represented the railroad.
The suit was for damages for a
severe wound in the head and
hinged largely upon expert medi
cal testimony, several physicians
appearing on each side.

thoroughly and put the doctors
on each side through an examina
tion that would have done credit
to the dean of a medical college, i
Campbell won a decisive victory,
the jury giving his client a ver
dict for $15,000. Carroll is a
game loser and that night when
he said good-bye to his success
ful opponent he paid him a very
handsome compliment. “Camp
bell,” said he, “if you will locate
in Little Rock as a physician 1
will give you my family prac-!
tice. ”
The railroad company soon j
after concluded it needed such a
combination of law and medicine
in its own business. —Batesville j

OLD TIMBER MARKS.
A teamster from Newton
county brought here the other
day a stick of timber cut from
the heart of a large white oak
tree that had been chopped into
when the tree was quite small.
There was at least ten inches of
sound, healthy growth outside of I
the chopped place, and from tht
old way of reckoning the growtl
of a tree by the rings in the tim
ber it had been something lik<
100 years since the tree had beer
chipped, but it had healed ovei
so nicely that there was no visi
ble indication of the fact tha
some early settler of this country
had tried his ax on it. — Harrisor

PARDONED MAN
AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Man Pardoned for Murder Few
Years Ago at Eureka Springs
Did Not Profit By Clem
ency Shown Him.
Eureka Spring, June 12.—Gil
Betten, son of Col. J. G. Betten,
who stabbed Lodge Antle in the
shoulder during an altercation
Friday night, is held to answer
the charge of assault with intent
to kill.
Several years ago Betten
stabbed a man to death at the
Auditorium and was sent to the
penitentiary, but was pardoned
a year later on a strong petition,
signed through sympathy for
Betten’s mother, who is a most
excellent woman.
