DEENER SECURES BOND.
Supreme Court Reduces Bond of R. S.
Deener To #4,000 Which He
Executes. ,
Batesville, June 19.—Rev. R. S.
Deener, who was brought back to
Batesville three weeks ago by Sheriff
Hinkle, executed a bond today in the
sum of #4,000, conditioned for his
appearance at the next term of the
circuit court of this county to answer
six charges of forgery alleged to have
been committed ten years ago, and
was released from jail. Mr. Deener’s
arrest and return to answer these
charges of ten years’ standing created
quite a sensation at the time through
out the state.
Mr. Deener, through his attorneys,
Yancey, Reeder and Casey, applied to
the supreme court for a writ of
habeas corpus and for reduction of
his bond to #4,000. This order was
made and the bond was promptly
given. Mr. Deener has the sympathy
of a very large portion of the people
of Batesville and its vicinity, the
scene of his alleged crimes. He leaves
tomorrow to join his wife at Searcy,
Ark.
HIGH STILL LOW.
Robert High, the white man who
was assaulted Monday night, is soil
alive, though there has been no
change in his condition. He is
thought to have come here from
Nettleton, as papers were found on
his person indicating as much.
as new tacts come to light, there is
little doubt but that he was the vic
tim of an assault, the purpose of
which was robbery. High purchased
a bill of goods at Martin Bros’, store
on the evening he was assaulted,
paying for same with a $10 bill. Jay
Sprigg waited upon him and noted
that he carried his money in a pocket
book. He left the goods, subject ; to
his call, but never returned and when
found near the Choctaw depot Tues
day morning, had neither money nor
pocket book. The case needs inves
tigation and should be probed to the
bottom. Too many assaults and mys
terious disappearances are happening
about our city, that will if allowed
to continue give our town an unenvi
able reputation.
THURSDAY EVENING’S DANCE.
Miss Mary Bailey, a very popular
member of the younger crowd, en
tertained a number of her friends
Thursday evening in honor of Miss
Stella Echols.
Dancing was the diversion of the
evening, the music being furnished by
the colored orchestra. Tne young
people had a tine time and to add to
the pleasure of the event, nice re
freshments were served.
Those present were Mesdames
R. M. Johnson, Gustave Jones, Holly
Cobb, T. D. Kinman Sr. and Jr., Mr.
and Mrs. R. D. Wilmans; Misses Jen
nio MoPanlair M ITmtnflti
Nellie Terry, Janie Stephens, Tillie
Sprigg, Cora Parrish, Josie Phillips,
Stella Echols, Mary Bailey, Lucy
Brandenburg; Messrs. Edwin Carter,
T. W. Dillard, Wm. Parrish, Homer
Buford, Henry E. Bragg, Fred Par
rish and Richard Niemeyer of St.,,
Louis.
PRpHIBITION LECTURE.
- \
Rev. S. G. Millar, pastor of the First'
Presbyterian church of Little Rock,
delivered a lecture Thursday evening
at the Methodist church in this city to
a fair audience, embracing both ad
vocates and opponents of the cause of
“Prohibition.” As the speaker came
under the auspices of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, the
nature of his remarks was well known
in advance.
Rev. Mr. Millar, while he does not
mince words in proclaiming his views,
respects the opinion of others. There
is a broad Christian charity in the ex
position of his opinion, which seeks
rather to win over by stable argument
than to antagonize by abuse his
hearers of a different belief. There is
none of the rant nor bitterness of
prejudice in his talk, such as often
characterizes agitators of social and
political theories like the temperance
cause.
The speaker reviewed the growth ol
prohibition sentiment in the South,
convincing his audience that he is an
optimist in regard to its ultimate su
premacy. He related how by suc
cessive steps the liquor interests of
the country had organized for their
own protection and the promotion of
their business interests.
Some form of government was in
dispensable to society and to the in
dividual and the object of government
was to best subserve the interests of
all. The selling of liquor was only
lawful by license and the supreme
court of our land had held that neither
the people’s representatives nor the
people themselves could legalize that
which was pernicious and injurious to
them. The decisions of several state
supreme courts along this line were
also read by Mr. Millar.
The Christian people he said were
responsible for the existence of the
saloon and to the qualified voters he
appealed as the arbitors of this
issue.
PURCHASE BLOOD HOUND.
“Robin Hood” an imported English
blood hound with a long pedigree, ar
rived Thursday from Lexington, Ky.,
consigned to Sheriff R. W. Bandy,
the purchaser.
The dog was bought from the ken
nels of Roger D. Williams and is a
very intelligent, fine looking speci
men of that breed, though a mere pup
of six months.
INQUEST AT DEATH.
'
Ed Minters, for many years a book
keeper for Wolff & Goldman, and a
resident of Newport until about five
years ago, died suddenly Monday
night at Brinkley. Such is the news
conveyed by a letter from J. G. May
er of that city.
The peculiar nature of his death
called for an inquest and the finding
of the jury was that the deceased
died from a lacerated stomach caused
by drinking. Minters did not bear a
good reputation in Newport, having
shot a man during his stay here.

MACON SECURES NOMINATION.
Helena Candidate For Congress Wins
In First District By Assistance
of Parrish’s Strength.
Wynne, June 19.—The First district
congressional convention completed
its labors tonight by nominating Hon.
R. B. Macon, of Helena, for congress
on the 986th ballot.
The convention has been hard at
work today, the delegates becoming
tired of the prolonged contest, and
were determined to either make a
nomination or adjourn to a future
date.
Balloting has been lively the most of
the day, the candidates going up and
down in the voting like balls in the
hands of a juggler. On three differ
ent ballots Judge Taylor had the num
ber of votes necessary to a choice, but
before the official announcement
could be made changes occurred that
defeated his nomination. The del
egates engaged in a good natured and
spirited contest and it was a battle
royal, in which the “swamp demo
cracy” showed its best steel.
During the forenoon session an
effort was made to put forward Hon.
O. N. Killough as a dark horse, but
Mr. Killough promptly stated most
emphatically that he would not be a
candidate. Hon. B. H. Crowley of
Greene received a number of com
plimentary votes at the evening ses
sion.
The last ballot stood: Macon 44,
Parrish 14, and Taylor 14; necessary
to a choice 37. Messrs. Macon, Par
nnft Ta vlnr wfirfl sent for and
wefe vociferously cheered as they
came before the convention and were
introduced. They made eloquent and
patriotic speeches, each of the de
feated candidates pledging his sup
port to the nominee and to the party.
Many ladies were in the hall.
The following congressional com
mitteemen were electee for the next
two years: Clay, H. W. Moore;
Craighead, E. H. Mathis; Cross, O. N.
Killough; Greene, M. P. Huddleston;
Lee, H. F. Roleson; Mississippi, John
P. Keiser; Phillips, H. P. Grant; Poin
sett, Ed L. Jacobs; St. Francis, James
Fus8ell; Woodruff, R. T. Harvill.
The delegates voted a resolution of
thanks to the good people of Wynne
for the hospitable manner in which
the convention was entertained. The
splendid hall was supplied with elec
tric fans, electric lights and ice water,
and every effort was put forth to
make the stay of the delegates pleas
ant.
The acrimony arising from yester
day’s proceedings had completely
disappeared when the convention as
sembled this morning and not a rup
ture of any kind occurred during the
day’s proceedings.
