SITE SELECTED FOR
STATE BUILDING.
St. Louis, Sept. 30.—In the presence
of a large crowd, including the gover
nors of ten states and territories, to
gether with a large delegation of gov
ernment officials from Washington,the
site for the Arkansas building at the
world’s fair was formally allotted.
President Francis delivered the
opening address. He dwelt at length
on the splendid resources and indus
tries of Missouri’s neighbor state, and
called attention to the fact that her
appropriation for a world’s fair ex
hibit was as large as any state in the
Union commensurate with her size.
He thought the location of the Arkan
sas building, which will be situated at
the northeast entrance to the grounds,
would give universal satisfaction.
In reply to President Francis, Gov
ernor Davis and Manager Thomas Mi
lan of the state commission made brief
addresses.
Gov. Davis said he would give assu
rance that the people of Arkansas
meant to show the state’s resources
to the world, and the fact that Hot
Springs alone was getting up a $30,
000 exhibit exemplified the deep and
substantial interest which Missouri’s
sister commonwealth is manifesting in
the enterprise. Gov. Davis declared
that Arkansas would expend $300,000
on building and exhibits at the world’s
fair.
lne Arkansas commissioners were
entertained at a banquet held under
the auspices of the exposition officials
at the Country Club today. At the
table with the chief executive of Ar
kansas, sat Gov. A. M. Dockery, of
Missouri, Gov. Sayres, of Texas, and
former Gov. W. D. Hoard, of Wiscon
sin.
The Arkansas delegation was hon
ored at a reception to the lady board
of managers at the Southern hotel to
night.
BRANNEL KILLED AT BRINKLEY.
Brinkley, Sept. 30.—About 4 o’clock
this afternoon Tom Brannel of Wheat
ley was shot and killed by Dennis
Camp, an employe of McKnight’s liv
ery stable. Marshal Perry Gillespie,
who had just gone into a store, heard
the pistol shot in the direction of the
stable and immediately jumped out of
the side door and saw Camp in the
street with a pistol in his hand and
Brannel just falling to the ground.
Camp stated to Marshal Gillespie that
Brannel had run him out of the stable
with a knife, and that he shot him. He
at once surrendered to Marshal Gil
lespie.
On examination Brannel was found
to have a bullet hole in his head which
penetrated the skull just above the left
eye toward the temple and ranged to
the back of the head. He lived about
thirty minutes, but did not speak.
An inquest was held and a verdict
rendered stating the fact of his death
as mentioned.
The two men had a difficulty in this
city several weeks ago. Considerable
feeling was manifested, and Camp was
removed to Clarendon, where he is in
the custody of Sheriff Mil wee.
The discovery of several centena
rians in North Arkansas, whose names
have been brought forward by news
papers of the different sections, has
turned the attention of people to the
ages of other animals than man. New
port has at least one ancient inhabit
ant for its specie in an old white house
cat, that for a score of years has been
looking to W. B. Chastain for the
wherewithal to sustain life. The town
may be low and require a levee for its
protection, but so long as cats live to
the ripe old age of twenty, who is
there who will dare call this an un
healthy city.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Fifteen Months Old Baby At Swifton
Run Over By An Engine And
Ten Cars With Only Slight
Injury.
Little short of rthe miraculous ie the
story of the escape of a fifteen months
old child at Swifton, who was run
over by an engine and ten cars and
yet lives, with but a slight wound on
the head to tell the awful experience.
The baby of C. C. Nicholson, living
on the Baird property at Swifton had
been out under the care of a brother,
when a through northbound' freight
was noticed but a short distance away.
The little boy ran and the engineer in
his cab thought the little white speck
upon the track was only a piece of
paper, until the train was fairly upon
the child.
Then he reversed and came near
wrecking the train, so suddenly did he
bring it to a stop. The cow-catcher
had struck the infant, knocking the
little one to the ground and probably
producing unconsciousness. But this
very fact helped to save its life, for
had it tried to arise while the train
was rushing over it, death would no
doubt have resulted.
wjLitm Lilt? mubuer Haw tne coming
train she ran to the track and before
the wheels had hardly ceased turning,
the baby was pulled forth from its
perilous position half way between the
rails. When the rescue had been ac
complished the mother swooned and
would have fallen had she not been
caught by the strong arms of railroad
men who had gathered around. The
engine and ten cars had passed over
the infant, who was uninjured ex
cept for a small gash on the back of
the head.
The accident happened early Mon
day morning and that afternoon the
baby was playing about as if no such
thrilling experience had ever been
undergone.
ARKANSAS WOMAN HONORED.
St. Louis, Sept. 30.—The first formal
session of the board of lady managers
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
was held this afternoon. A tempo
rary organization was effected with
Mrs. Finis P. Ernest of Denver as
president and Mrs. Frederick Hanger
of Little Rock, Ark., as secretary.
About half of the business houses
were closed Thursday, owing to the
fact that the day is the Jewish New
Year.
