daughter of Frank Alexander of
this place, caught fire some way
while alone in the house and was
so badly burned when her moth
er found her that she died a few
hours later. She had prompt and
efficient medical attention and
all that loving parents and
friends could do to save or ease
her, but to no avail. It is hard
to give her up wr know, but
trust her parents say, “God’s
will be done.’’ We join their
many friends in offering our

ROBERTS REPORTED
FEELING SECURE.
Correspondent Says He is Travel
ing Ovet Country, and in His
Defense Will Seek to
Prove an Alibi.
There is a temporary cessation
in the Lightle insurance fraud
case, says the correspondent for
the Little Rock Democrat, pend
ing the calling of John V. Rob
erts for trial at Judsonia on Sep
tember 21, when he will be ar
raigned on the charge of grave
robbery, for which Dr. R. G.
Lightle, his co-principal, was
convicted at Searcy, and fined
$2,000 and sentenced to six
months in jail.
As the offense is indictable by
the grand jury, and will ultimate
ly go to the circuit court, the
case may be dismissed before
Justice Smith.
Roberts is reported to have
been busy traveling over the
country for several days, and is
quoted as having told one citizen
that he would soon be out of
trouble. That he will seek to
prove an alibi is generally ad
mitted.
Gregory has again disappeared
and his whereabouts will prob
ably remain unknown to Lightle
and Roberts.
