Hot Words From Bush of Helena To
Editor Mitchell of Arkansas
Democrat—Lie is Freely
Passed—Bush Promis
ed to Be in Little
Rock.
Helena, Ark., Feb. 14.—The war be
ing waged upon Gov. Davis and his
administration had a sensational con
tribution from this city Saturday,
when James R. Bush, of Helena, a
member of the State charitable board
under the Davis administration, sent
to the Arkansas Democrat’s manager,
William S. Mitchell, some of the salt
iest correspondence imaginable. Two
telegrams and a letter were sent by
Mr. Bush, the first wire asking Mr.
Mitchell if the editorial of the 12th in
Democrat alleging rascality in the
State institutions referred to the char
itable board, and if so, who was per
sonally responsible. Mitchell answer
ed in a lengthy telegram, when the
Helena member of the board sent an
other message to Mitchell saying the
reply was unsatisfactory, and again
demanding to know if the charitable
board was included.
A WARM LETTER
Not receiving an answer to the
second telegram, Mr. Bush sent the
following letter:
“Inasmuch as your editorial of the
12th instant makes a charge of rascal
itv ae-ainst Dersons connected with
the administration and in charge of
certain State instutions, and as I am
on the board of charities, a body that
since my connection with it, and be
fore that time as I believe, has been
moved by the highest integrity in the
discharge of its duties, and as your
reply to my wire of this date, sent
with the design of ascertaining wheth
er your insinuation was aimed at this
board or otherwise, is evasive and
unsatisfactory and a reflection on my
personal and official integrity, unless
specific denial is made by you that my
character is in no way involved, I
hereby and by this means brand the in
sinuation in the aforesaid editorial as
a cowardly and malicious attack upon
gentlemen who in all that pertains to
devotion to duty are your equals if
not your superiors. So far as the
charge may affect the State board of
charities it is a cowardly lie, and I so
brand it, and I declare the author of
the article in the Democrat of the 12th
instant, insofar as it may refer to the
State board of charities, as a malicious
liar, a coward and a puppy. I will be
in Little Rock Monday, the 16th, at
the Merchants’ Hotel and on the
streets until 3 p. m.
JAS. R. BUSH.”
INDOR8ED BY GREENLEE.
The Commercial Appeal correspond
ent, in conversation over long dis
tance telephone with C. F. Greenlee,
a prominent attorney and also a mem
ber of the board of charities at Brink
ley, was informed by the gentlemen
that he fully and unequivocally in
dorsed the above correspondence,
which had been read to him. Mr.
Bush will leave Helena tomorrow
afternoon and spend Monday in Little
Rock. The Democrat editorial, which
caused the salty correspondence, al
leged that there was rascality in
some of the state institutions, and it
has stirred up a hornet’s nest that will
not be quieted until it is thoroughly
sifted. The Commercial Appeal cor
respondent is authorized by Mr. Bush
to say that the board of charities
courts and demands an investigation
of the whole matter.
SCHEVEER IN BAD SHAPE.
Little Rock, Feb. 15.—Judge Trieber
has issued an order giving G. H.
Scheveer, the former Montrose mer
chant, uutil Monday to pay over
$15,607.61, the amount, it is claimed,
he is securing from his creditors. If
the money is not paid by Monday
Scheveer will be sent to jail for con-:
tempt. The trustee asked the court
to compel Scheveer to turn over
$39,000, which he was alleged to have
in his possession, but the referee
found that a little over half of the
amount was being held unlawfully by
the erstwhile merchant. Scheveer
was adjudged a bankrupt several
weeks ago am? his accounts have been
undergoing an investigation since
that time, with the result that a jail
sentence awaits him unless he com
plies with the court’s order by Mon
day.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Route of White River Road.
The profile of the White River rail
road was filed in the recorder’s office
here last Wednesday morning. The
line crosses White river at Lake’s
ferry, cuts through to Fallen Ash
valley, following the same out to the
divide at the head of Fallen Ash
creek wrhere a heavy cut will be made
just north of town to get through to
Crooked Creek valley which it follows
to the mouth of Sugar Orchard;
thence up Sugar Orchard to Oregon
Flat. The road will pass within nine
tenths of a mile of Yellville and right
by Powell.—Yellville Echo.

INDEPENDENCE COUNTY’S

court Christian township was divided
into two new townships, the upper
part, above a line running east and
west just below Oil Trough Landing

rangement.—Batesville Bee.
