Doctor Richard Lightle Returns
Home to Searcy—Didn’t Seek
to Defraud, so He Says—
Searcy Citizens Un
der Suspicion.
Dr. Richard Lightle, the star
performer in what is generally
regarded as one of the most sen
sational attempts to defraud life
insurance companies in recent
years, has returned home to
Searcy. Unaccompanied by the
sheriff, the much-t&lked-of and
wanted man reached his home
town Friday night or -early Sat
urday morning.

he attempts to explain his mys
terious disappearance bidden be
^ neath his supposed cremation,
dawning that he was dissecting
thePitts stiff in the barn burned,
when a lamp exploded and caused
the fire. Fearing he would be
exposed he left his happv home
f and remained away long enough
for his widow to collect $11^000
out of the $21,000 life insurance
carried.
SUSPICION OTHER CITIZENS.
Searcy, Aug. 19.—Interest in
the Lightle case has suddenly
shifted.
At present it is not so much a
question of Dr. Lightle's life or
death (the public is pretty gen
erally satisfied in its own mind
on that score) that is causing
comment, but speculation as to
his being brought back and its
effect on two well known men of
Searcy whose names are being
prominently mentioned in con
^ nection with the desecration of
HU&te Pitts grave, the burning of ‘
his body, the spiriting away of
Lightle and the effort to defraud
the insurance companies.
One of these men is a promi
nent politician and the other the
son of a well known and aristo
cratic family. On the night that
the Pitts grave was robbed some
young men of Searcy are alleged
to have followed them to the
cemetery, thinking they had a
keg of beer to be tapped, and
found to their horror and fright
the real purpose of their visit.
Dr. Lightle met his two accom
plices there and they proceeded
to dig up the buried man, who
had been beneath the sod two
.days. The credibility of these
eye-witnesses is said to be unim
peachable and the people of
.Searcy believe their story.
MONEY FOR PREMIUMS.
A question which is being ask
ed on all sides, but which has
never been satisfactorily answer
ed, is, Where did Dr. Lightle get
the money to take out the $21,
000 of insurance. He was a
young man with a small practice
and a family to support. He had
not been able to save anything,
and yet he suddenly came into
possession of approximately $750
with which to pay premiums.
Rumors in this connection are
equally as varied as in the case
of the many other points which
yet remain to be explained. Thus
far, however, there is nothing
tangible to connect any one with
the matter. John Roberts has
not yet returned to Searcy.
DOCTOR MAGNESS
SHOT AT MENA.
Ex-Newark Citizen Shot to Death
by Harry Daniels, a Rail
road Man.
Mena, Aug. 19. —Harry Dan
iels, freight engineer on the Kan
sas City Southern Railway, shot
and instantly killed Dr. W. L.
Magness, a leading physician
and citizen of this place, at 9
o’clock this morning. The affair
took place in the store room of
the Davis Drug Company. Fol
lowing is a scatement of the
shooting from an eye-witness:
Dr. Magness was on the outside of
the counter, leaning over it in
the act of tying up a parcel.
Daniels entered the store at the
front door and walked back to
ward his victim, who did not
look around. Without a word of
warning, Daniels drew his revol
ver, a 38-calibre automatic weap
on, and fired from a distance of
six feet. The bullet struck Dr.
Magness in the small of the back.
He reeled and turned partly
around. Daniels fired again, the
second shot taking effect just
below the right eye. His victim
ten to tne noor ana Daniels rap
idly fired three more shots into
his body as he lay dead.
Two bullets took effect in the
stomach and one in the lungs.
Any of the five shots would have
been fatal.
Daniels immediately gave him
self up to the sheriff and to show
how cool he was asked that he
might go by home and get his
pipe before going to jail. He is
being held for murder in the first
degree.
The trouble is said to have
I been jealousy over his wife. Dr.
Magness was a cousin of Tom
Magness and was formerly a
citizen of Newark. He was very
highly esteemed in Mena and
many of his friends are reported
to have wept on the street when
they heard of his death.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
tenLTTf' * 'P'8"0™«^ers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the foal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect ’musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of <Hher of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
rom any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
