bell denies that he is a candidate for

any fact which should lead a news

for our article was the Little Rock
Democrat and Mr. Campbell has
written that paper, asking the name
of the party responsible for such an
unwarranted error. He has a right
to be indignant and is anxious to
know just who is to blame in the
matter.

The civil suit of John and Frank
Mayes against R. W. Bandy and R. D.
Wilmans, came up for trial before
Justice Lucien B. Harris Thursday
morning and the hearing was not
completed until in the afternoon.
Sheriff Bandy has in his possession a
pearl, which is alleged by the de
fendants to have been one of the lot
stolen by a sneak thief from Walter
Harris and the suit w’as brought by
plaintiffs to recover same. The at
torney for the plaintiffs is Judge M.
M. Stuckey while Judge J. W. Phillips
represents the defendants. At press
hour, the jury had not returned a
verdict, but it is probable that an ap
peal will be taken no matter which
way the case goes in this court. An
other contest over the ownership of a
pearl was to have been settled in
Esquire Robinsosn’B court, but a hear
ing was postponed.
The Independent has been re
quested by a number of good business
men to inform them as to the names
of those invited to the “star chamber”
meeting Tuesday afternoon, held for
the purpose of working up a depot
celebration. One of those present
states he was invited by Mr. E. C.
Waterman to meet others at the News
office. The following were present:
Chas. Meyer, A. D. Bailey, G. W.
Decker, L. Minor, Farley Price, S. D.
Campbell, George Anderson, Ike
Goldman and E. C. Waterman. By
their action the public was forthwith
inv ited to subscribe to a fund to carry
out plans yet to be agreed upon. We
trust there are other loyal and enter
prising citizens of Newport, and this
has been proven by the manner in
which they have willingly subscribed
to the fund. A general invitation to
the public by newspaper announce
ment to take part in the celebration
would surely elicit heartier support
for the movement than the delibera
tions of a privy council whose mem
bership is named by one individual.

REPAIRED ELEPHANT’S TAIL.
Clever Work of Cincinnati Surgeon
Avoids Amputation.
One of the neatest cases of surgery
ever attempted was satisfactorily ac
complished the other day by Dr. M.
E. Carter, a graduate of the Paris Col
lege of Medicine, and also a graduate
of a famous veterinary school in
France.
Recently, Kin, the famous Hagen
back diving elephant, which had been
imported recently from Germany by
the Sells & Downs Show, seriously
mashed his tail.
The massive doors of the elephant
car are frequently oiled to allow of
UiCll caonj
Without any warning the other night
when the show was loading the el
ephant ear it was struck by a portion
of the circus train. King’s tail was
caught by the door when the concus
sion closed it, and the poor animal’s
appendage was horribly bruised for
about five inches. Amputation was
thought necessary, and the services of
the Cincinnati surgeon were impera
tive. In the meantime King allowed
the wounded member to be bandaged
and silently went through his per
formance until the arrival of the doc
tor. The fractured tail was soon re
paired and the knife was not used.
King still munches his hay and re
ceives small invoices of peanuts from
the boys and girls and acts up with
great pleasure at the regular perform
ances. The celebrated herd, of which
King is the leader, will be seen here
with the great Sells & Downs Show
