LIE PASSED-FIGIIT FOLLOWED.
- Democratic and Republican Can
didates For Governor Come To
gether at Siloam Springs
During Joint Dis
cussion Wed
nesday.
Siloam Springs, Aug. 13.—The lie
was passed between the gubernatorial
candidates at the speaking here this
afternoon, and serious trouble was
narrowly averted. Republicans and
Democrats engaged in a rough and
tumble fight, and the officers of the
law had to interefere.
Gov. Davis was the first speaker
and was introduced by Senator-elect
J. P. Logan, amid loud applause. The
usual speech relative to the two re
publican factions was discussed by
the governor. Mr. Greaves had been
shut out at Springdale, Marshall and
other places, but he was going to beat
Myers by 10,000 votes.
“The state pays more to educate
the negroes in Arkansas than the
people do in Iowa to educate the
white people, where Myers came
from,” he declared. “Myers read
some affidavits in JBentonville yester
day, but it was a lie and he knows it,
and I (Davis) denounced it as such a
in Bentonville. I have the proof that
Myers was drunk at the Quapaw Club
in Little Rock and said he was going
to wipe all the other candidates off the
political checker-board, but was
afraid to meet Greaves.”
Mr Mvppr was flip, sennnd sneaker
and made his usual speech referring
to the Glenwood speech and the Bap
tist church episode. Mr. Myers and
the governor engaged in personalities
the governor telling him he was
afraid to face any charges made
against him. Clayton did not damage
the state in all his days as Davis had
in two years, said Mr. Myers, and he
did not want to dfeal in personalities
as Davis did. Mr. Myers related the
personalities between the governor
and Congressman Dinsmore and told
about the latter calling the governor
a demagogue. The governor had
never tried to stop the ice trust and
the poor people had organized an ice
company there to fight the trust.
Mr. Myers then read the report
from Gravette, regarding Ben Fore
man and a challenge to let him pub
hsh a private letter from Myers to
Foreman for $100. Myers accepted
Foreman’s proposition and says he
can publish the letter and he will do
nate $50 each to the Old Ladies’ Home
and Orphans’ Home of Little Rock.
Mr. Myers denounced the governor’s
charge that he was drunk at the Qua
paw club in Little Rock as false.
Gov. Davis in his rejoinder, told
Myers if he ever called him a con
temptible coward again he would kick
him (Myers) off the platform.
At this juncture Gov. Davis said:
“And you are a dirty coward for
getting those affidavits yesterday and
was afraid to read them, but gave
their names which was a set of lies.”
“Don’t you say I lied,” said Myers.
“Well do not make those charges
then,” said Davis.
At this juncture, as the two started
together, they were interrupted by
Andrew Craiger (Democrat) and Al
bert Wilson and Millard Vanhooser
(Republicans) getting between them
and a regul ir knock-down and drag
out followed.
Followed by the latter, over 100
men rushed on the speakers’ stand
and it looked for a time like blood
shed would occur, but Gov. Davis
commanded peace, and a personal ap
peal from Mr. Myers and his friends
soon had the row settled, and those
in the fight were carried off the
grounds by the officers.
Gov. Davis continued his rejoinder
by saying the affidavits were false,
and he denounced the author of them
in strong terms, and said Myers
would have to change his manner of
expressing things.
Mr. Greaves was given a hearty
welcome. When he was introduced
he read an affidavit from J. H. Rack
erby at Rogers, regarding Gen. Clay
ton dividing his salary several years
ago.

ANOTHER LAWN PARTY.
Misses Leah and Ellen Jones were
at home Thursday evening to some
twenty of their friends from seven to
ten o’clock, the affair being a nicely
arranged lawn party at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Jones on
Plum Street.
About the lawn, lanterns were hung,
making the yard a most enchanting
scene for the games of the little peo
ple, who found amusement and pleas
ure in “dropping the handkerchief,”
“clapping in and clapping out,”
“thimble,” “barnyard” and a number
of other diversions which recall
younger years in most of our lives.
Refreshments of lemon ice. maca
roons and lady-fingers were served
by Misses Beulah Baird and Carrie
Stevens. Those present included a
number who came as escorts and to
assist in entertaining: Mesdames L.
Hirsch, A. D. Barley, A. J. Stevens,
Lacy Tighlman, Miss Jennie Maguire;
Messrs, and Mesdames R. B. Hooker
and J. G. Walker.
The invited guests were Misses
Hazel Jones, Irma Wolf, Hortense
Hite, Margaret Gregg, Mary Younger,
Pauline Davis, Mildred Bernstein,
Lucy Bailey, Mary Kelly, Annie and
Marie Upshaw, Ruth Egan, Elise
Hooker, Josephine Walker, Bertha
Hirsch, Corinne Mosby; Masters Wil
lie Bandy, Leslie O’Neal, Dottis Joyce,
Charlie Hite, Malcolm and Samuel
Taggart, Paul, Ralph and Carl Hirsch,
Phillip Lockard and Wiley McMinn.
ICE MEN RETALIATE.
Articles of incorporation of the In
dependent Grocery and Market Com
pany were filed with the county clerk
of Pulaski county Thursday. It is
capitalized at $24,000. Shares are $26
each. Three thousand dollars has al
ready been paid in. The corporators
are F. L. Riggs, R. W. Walker, L. W.
Cherry, Hull & Fox and C. L. Kraft.
They will buy and sell groceries, in
cluding meats and vegetables, at
wholesale and retail. F. L. Riggs has
been elected president of the com
pany and C. L. Kraft and R. W.
Walker are directors.
The incorporation of this company,
it is understood is the beginning of a
fight on the Retail Grocers’ Associa
tion which recently formed a com
pany for the manufacture of 25-cent
ice in opposition to what is termed
the Ice Trust. It has been decided to
combat the retail grocers of the city
on their own ground as the retail
grocers are about to do with the ice
manufacturers. All the incorporators
of the Independent Grocery and Mar
ket Company are either owners of ice
factories or holders in ice stock.
ARKANSAS GOLD FIND.
Camden, Aug. 14.—-Messrs. Reece
Guess, the owner and operator of a
sawmill near this place, and ‘Arthur
Weiss, a jeweler in the employ of
Messrs. Stinson & Berg of this cit.
are the owners of what may pro\
be a very rich gold mine. They
sent some of the ore to an assayer,
who nrnnmim'flu ifrw Ho volmiHIo
is manifest that it is heavily charged
with gold, and is found in rock on and
near the surface of the earth.
The land on which the ore is found
lies north of this city near where the
present Ouachita coal mines are loca
ted. Two capitalists who have already
had some experience in the mining
business have made Messrs. Guess and
Weiss a proposition to furnish $100,
000 toward developing the mines.
This proposition has not been accept
ed yet, and will not be until further
developments.
FUGITIVE CRIMINAL CAPTURED
———
Fayetteville, Aug. 14.—John John
son, who, it is alleged, killed his
brother two years ago, was captured
this morning about one mile from
Sonora. His father’s house was sur
rounded by officers, when the son
made a break for liberty, but became
entangled in a clothes line, which
checked his speed. The officers
caught him, brought him to this city
and placed him behind the bars. He
has been a fugitive from justice for
two years.
Johnson’s brother was filled with
an axe.
MRS. MELIE POSKEY.
Mrs. Melie Poskey, the wife of
Henry Poskey, died at her home near
Auvergne Thursday, August 14, 1902,
at 10 p. m. aged about 45 years. The
deceased was taken violently sick
Thursday with a congestive chill and
all efforts of her physicians failed to
rally her.
The deceased came to this county
from Cincinnati, Ohio, and is a cousin
of our fellow townsman E. H. Yeager
and her husband is a brother of Mrs.
Yeager.
The burial was held at 3 p. m. Fri
day in Walnut Grove cemetery. The
friends of those who mourn her ex
tend sympathy.
HOLDS THE RECORD.
For the summer of 1902, the highest
temperature recorded thus far by the
govornment thermometer is 103 de
grees, to which niche, the intense
heat of Thursday August 14th ex
panded the mercury. June 11 with a
record of 102 had held the belt up to
that time, but has now been given a
seat in the rear by one of August’s
“sizzlers.” Wednesday’s highest tem
perature was 98: the minimum point
reached Thursday night was 70 de -
grees.
