RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS.
Three Runaways at One Time Starting
Near Choctaw Depot In Which
Fred Reeder and Edwin Taylor
Were Seriously Injured.
One of the worst runaway accidents
ever happening in Newport, occurred
Wednesday afternoon shortly after
five o’clock, in which two boys were
seriously injured and narrowly es
caped death. One team frightened by
a Choctaw train started a series of
runaways, which for a time threatened
several lives and ended in severe in
juries for Fred Reeder and Edwin
Taylor and the damage of several ve
hicles.
The dray wagon of Eulis Reeder,
driven by his fourteen-year-old
brother Fred, was approaching the
west entrance to the bridge, when
the team became frightened at the
engine of the branch freight, which
was switching in the yards, and
wheeled around to make a dash up
Lake Avenue. The boy driver was
thrown out, followed by the wagon
bed. Young Reeder was quite badly
injured, one rib being broken, his
knee strained and his chest slightly
crushed.
While still on Lake Avenue, the
runaway team came very nearly col
liding with Huffman’s Bakery wagon,
but this team turned about and
headed the procession down the
street.
At Younger’s shop, the surrey of J.
O. Taylor was being repaired, the
horse being attached to the rig at the
time. Thre^ of the children, Edwin,
Frank and Ethel were seated in
the vehicle, but Edwin seeing the
coming runaways, jumped down to
hold the horse which was faced south.
The animal became frightened and
wheeled about, throwing the plucky
little fellow who held onto the bridle
into the street, where he would have
been run over by the bakery wagon,
had not Felix Henderson, a colored
employe of the shop, managed to
turn that team toward the other side
of the street. But the little fellow
was struck by the dray wagon which
followed and knocked senseless to the
ground.
He was taken into the Younger
home where physicians were called
and administered to his injuries,
which consisted of a bad gash in the
side of his head'which bled profusely,
a blow behind the ear and numerous
scratches.
When the dray and bakery wagons
passed the Taylor horse, he joined in
the run, but turned up Second Street
instead of First, as did the two first
named. At the side of W. R. Thomp
son’s residence, the rig struck a post,
throwing the two other children out
upon the ground, aud disengaging the
horse and surrey. Neither of the
children were hurt beyond a few
bruises and scratches.
The Reeder and Huffman teams
were given right of way down Front
Street, the former being stopped in
front of L. B. Harris’ store, the wagon
a total wreck. The bakery team
turned when Walnut Street was
reached and ran to Remmel Ave. The
top of the wagon was badly broken
■ in i,rl UnPPmonla hnnorl viraa aH
tised from one end of town to the
other, in the samples scattered.
The Lake Avenue crossing on the
Choctaw needs a watchman, for the
fact that a train cannot be seen until
one reaches the track, owing to the
houses that block the view upon
either side, is responsible for these
serious runaway accidents.
MRS. NORA McCURRY.
Mrs. Nora McCurry, the wife of Dr.
John McCurry, who was a candidate
for assessor in the last primary, died
at her home in Grubbs township at
one o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased was a daughter of
Sam Lofton and the remains were
buried at Denton graveyard Thursday
afternoon. The husband and other
relatives have the sympathy of all in
their bereavement.

BIDS ASKED FOR SITE
Of $70,000 Federal Building at Bates*
ville—White River Improvement
Work—Complex Political
Situation.
Batesville, July 9.—The secretary of
the treasury has given notice that he
will receive bids for a site for the new
$70,000 federal court house to be
erected here for which provision was
made at the recent session of congress'.
There are several proposed sites, any
one of which will be suitable. It is
expected that a commissioner, ap
pointed for that purpose, will visit
this place soon to select the most de
sirable place
Capt. William Parkin of Little Rock
who has charge of the improvement
of White river by system of locks and
dams, was in the city last week, it is
understood with a view to the early
resumption of work upon the dams
for locks Nos. 1 and 2, and to begin
work for lock and dam No. 3. It will
be remembered that congress recently
through the efforts of Senators Berry
and Jones and Congressman Brun
didge, was induced to continue this
system, though at first they refused
to do so. This will mean a great deal
for Batesville in the way of giving
permanent slack water navigation
and serving as a check on the railroad
up the river in the way of freight
rates.
The many friends of Editor E. L.
Givens of the Batesville Guard, who
has held a position as assistant secre
tary in the United States Senate at
Washington for some time, are glad
to know that he will return from
Washington towards the close of this
month.
The political situation in this county
is assuming a more or less roseate hue
at this writing, in the race for repre
sentative, especially. Judge Arnold
of Newark, who was a candidate be
fore the primaries for the democratic
nomination, has recently announced
his intention of running on till the
general election, he claiming that he
is the rightful nominee, and not Ma
theny, who was declared by the cen
tral committee to be such. And to
add further to the complexity of the
situation, John Stroud, a former pop
ulist politician of this county, seeing
the discomfiture and confusion among
the democrats, has announced as an
independent candidate, thinking that
he sees a chance of success.
The recent rise in White river, per
mitting steamboats to run, was quite
a relief to the railroad works up the
river. The White River Grocer Co.
of this place, chartered the steamer
Quickstep, which left here with a
large load for the upper river.
