The coroner’s inquest over the
I grains of a stnmger thought to
Is. T. Burgessof Golden City,
E., from a sale slip found upon
I person, resulted in the follow
t.verdict "We; the jury find
■at S. T. Burgess came to his
lath by^beirg run over by pas
lr train No. 4 on the Iron
fountain, other cause un
sown.’’
[ The finding was returned Tues
ay night signed byL. B. Harris
g,foreman of the ;ury.
Upon the information brought
out," the five workmen held., were
released. -Two bearing the
names of Riley and Nagle were
witnesses in the proceedings.
The men had been working at
Blue Chute on the White River
railroad and were paid off here
Tuesday morning. They came
down Saturday and pamped near
the scene of the tragedy., await
ing the arrival of their money.
»i5RS. YEAGER’S TESTIMONY.
Irs. E. H. Yeager, living near
i scene of the accident, was
most important witness,
stranger thought to be Bur
jd come to the house sev
Jies for a drink and she
fleeted iodoform upon his
j and thinks that he wore
JFdkerchief about his neck.
Hast time he came for a
^k he had hardly more than
r le to reach the place where
'he train struck him, when No.
14 rushed by. From the testi
mony of the witness murder
could hardly have been done and
the man’s body thrown upon the
track in the brief interval be
tween his leaving the Yeager
house and the passing of No. 4.
CUT WAS NOT FRESH WOUND.
Dr. H. 0. Walker was called
upon and testified that in his
opinion the throat cut was not a
fresh one and that the sewing
up of the wound was probably
done several days previously.
« ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE.
While some still hold to their
belief of foul play, the general
opinion as borne out by facts
coming to light, is that the un
fortunate man was despondent
over his condition and threw
himself upon the track with the
purpose of suicide or that he had
become partially demented or
weak from loss of blood, or in a
high fever from his injuries and
did not note the approach of
the fast passenger train.

It is .bought that the damage
will Qe about $1,500 or $2,000.
There was some other small dam
ages done in town such as blow

\ Button Factory Leased.
The Sun reports that the
Clarendon Button Company has
lease5 its plant to a big button
concern in New York. The new
management will take charge on
May 1 and begin operating fifty
saws on that date. The concern
has brought thirty-five saws that
were in use at Newport, and
these will be added early in May,
giving the plant eighty-five
saws. Sixty-five more saws will
je added as early as practicable,
j and the finishing plant in New
i York will depend upon the plant
here and another it owns in Illi
nois to supply it with all the
“blanks" used in the finishing
factory in New York.
The opening of the button
factory under such management
is one of the best streaks of good
j luck that has come to Clarendon
! in quite a while. It means
places for eighty-five more men
: early irt May and for sixty-five
additional soon thereafter. If
they earn an average of $1.50 a
day it means $1,350 every Satur
day night.

HINKLE GAINS ON RECOUNT.
Recounting of Vote in Senatorial Con
test May Result in Contest Before
Court.
After considerable figuring,
with first one and then the other
candidates in the lead, a recount
of the ballots of this county was
ordered by the old County Cen
j tral Committee, and each can
didate was present when the re
count was made.
Thefollowinggentlemen, made
i the recount: Ben Desha, rep
resenting W. W. Edmondson:
VV. S. Wright, representing Jno.
A. Hinkle, and Charlie Magness,
representing Thos. J. Raney.
The result of the count gave
Hinkle a gain of 42 votes, and
Raney and Edmondson, together
a loss of 44 votes. . Big Bottom,
Christian, Magness, Greenbrier
and White River were the town
ships in which the changes were
_1 „
niauc.
According to recount Hinkle
has the most votes, but Raney
and Edmondson are not satisfied,
and the probabilities are that it
will be fought out in chancery
court and elsewhere.— Batesville

Stahl, who has been one of the
prominent and active members
of the Cumberland Presbyterian

the past year, including this
check Mr. Stahl has given the

idence in his old home at Benton
ville, and as he has been one of
the pillars, of the church here he

tlis Successful Race Places Him in lino
for Clarke’s Seat in Senate.
Little Rock, April 10, 1906. —
| The successful race made by
; Hon. S. Brundidge of Searcy
for re-election in the Second
district to congress has brought
him prominently forward as a
a.-. 1 a /-.a v* i /l n + a - i l *"
State senator at the democratic
primary two years hence. Mr.
Brundidge is one of the best
campaign orators in the State of
Arkansas. He is a democrat of
the cleanest record and one who
has accomplished a great deal
for the state during the several
terms he has occupied a seat in
the lower house of congress. A
paper in Yell county has declared
for Hon. John H. Little for the
senatorship at that time, but it
is believed that he will not be a
candidate, but will stand for a
second term for governor. No
one has yet publicly intimated
his intention to contest for the
seat now occupied by Senator
James P. Clarke, but it is safe
to predict that it will not belong
before there will be one or more
candidates in the held. Mr.
Brundidge in his race for con
gress carried eight of the tw alve
counties in his district. He
probably has a wider personal
acquaintance throughout the
state than any member of con
gress from Arkansas, and it is
believed would make a formid
i able candidate for the senate
two years from now.

posed to be incurable. For a
I great many years doctors pro
inounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circu
lars and testimonials.
