Drastic Means Taken to Compel Attend
ance Upon Inquest of Prominent
Iron Mountain Officials.
Failing to answer the subpoe
naes as witnesses to appear before
the coroner’s inquest over the
Diaz wreck, warrants for the ar
rest of four Iron Mountain offi
cials were sworn out Monday
evening and placed in the hands
; of the sheriff.
^ They will be served upon Divi
s i © n Superintendent Green,
». Trainmaster Stallcup, Claim
Agent Washburn and Conduc
tor Graves, the first time a
chance offers and bond will be
required of each of them for
their appearance in court.
The railroad people allege
their witnesses were here Satur
day morning to be heard, and as
they were put off, the court
must now show them some con
sideration. On the other hand
the coroner and his jury are in
dignant over the treatment ac
corded their court, and deter
mined to bring the officials to
time.
Another I utile Session.
Nothing practically was ac
complished in Monday’s session
of the coroner’s inquest jury,

In the afternoon J. N. Hollis
ter, ticket agent at Little Rock,
testified that he had sold to
Thomas Scanlon and son tourist
tickets to some point in Canada,
probably Arthur, good for re
“ ’ turn in sixty days. The coroner
has thus far failed to secure the
return of the tickets sold to the
two lost passengers.

RUNNING THE QUARANTINE.
Marianna Gives Drummer Who Defied
Quarantine a Warm Reception.
Mark W. Searcy of Memphis,
who travels for the Buckeye Cot
ton Oil Mills at Little Rock, re
turned to Wynne Wednesday
night after a strenuous experi
ence with the health authorities
at Marianna, says the Wynne
Blade-Democrat. Mr. Searcy
held a health certificate from Dr.
Cantrell of the Arkansas state
board of health and one from Dr.
Heber Jones of the Memphis
board, both properly stamped
by the ticket agents at the towns,
he had stopped in the two days
since their issuance, but the
i _ _t_:_J ~
JirdJLIJ O VViJV ttu LJ1<~
train at Marianna refused to
look at these and informed
Searcy he could not get off.
Mr. Searcy said: “I would
rather have been in jail at Mari
anna than in a detention camp
at Helena, so when the train
stopped at Marianna I stepped
off. 1 was immediately arrested,
carried up town and before the
mayor, at the instance of Dr.
jDeaderick, presumably presi
dent of the board of health.
“A crowd gathered around us
! on the street, in which was
I Mayor Slaughter, and they pro
1 ceeded to try me in this kanga
; roo fashion without even taking
me into a house.
“Without the formality of a
' trial 1 was informed that a fine
| of $10.50 would be assessed
! against me. I said 1 would not
| pay it and after a whispered con
; versation they decided to make a
’ cut rate of $9. This 1 was forced
Jo pay.
“A friend of mine, Frank
; Govan, came up during the trial
and informed the authorities that
he would vouch for me, but his
word would not stay the pro
ceedings.'’
Mr. Searcy declared that after
ho nn id hie fi no Vio was 'old to
J
leave town at once, but he re
fused and the city marshal shad
owed him until he caught the
local and returned to Wynne.
He will institute a damage suit
against Marianna.

CAEl Off ENCAMPMENTS.
Yellow Eever Quarantine Duty Will Prove
as Good Sr hoofing as an
Encampment.
Little Rock, Aug. 14. —Upon
the return of Gov. Davis he di
rected Gen. Haynes to cause an
order issued postponing until
further advices the encampment
at Morrilton the last week of
August and the one at Jonesboro
the first week in September.
This decision was reached be
cause it is intended to so alter
nate the men of the guard now
on quarantine duty that every
officer and man of the organiza
tion may have an opportunity to
serve the state board of health
during the period of the present
emergency, keeping individuals
out of the state who may have
been at any infected point.
This quarantine duty on the
part of the guardsmen will be as
efficient camp service and be
such a schooling in soldierly duty
as might be obtained at a regu
lar school of instruction at an
annual encampment. The plan
is to change the enlisted men on
quarantine service at least every
ten days, so that within thirty
days there will be a complete
new force, it is also expected
that every company officer will
have an opportunity to do duty
under the instructions of the
state board of health.
Malaria Slridken Sufferers.
Texarkana, Aug. 13. —A man
and five small children reached
here yesterday. All were suf
fering terribly from malaria, and
the man and one of the children
were in a dying condition. They
spent their last dollar for tickets
to this place, their one idea seem
ing to be to get away from the
danger of yellow fever. The
man gives his name as Ben New
man. All of his and his chil
dren’s belongings are not worth
$20. The entire party were
taken from the train when it
•eached here and placed in the
Cotton Belt hospital, where they
now are. The doctors say New
man cannot live through the
night.
Mayor Stricken Speechless.
Pine Bluff, Aug. 14.-Mayor
with aphasia Friday evening
about 7 o’clock and has been un
i able to speak since that time.
Aphasia is a disease of the brain
which affects the power of
speech and sometimes proves
, fatal.
Last night he was reported
slightly improved and hopes are
entertained for his speedy re
covery. Considerable uneasiness
was felt for him when it became
rumored about that he had been
stricken with paralysis.
A Correction.
Editor Independent:
I very much appreciate the
kind and complimentary notice
i of my resignation that appeared
; in your issue of yesterday, but 1
would like to modify somewhat
1 the statement that ‘ ‘the extreme
ly bad health of my family” was
| the cause, etc., by saying that
1 the locality not agreeing with
; the health of my family led to
my resignation.
Yours sincerely,
H. M. Long.
