GOVERNOR’S DAY
AT ENCAMPMENT.
Sergeant Comerford Won Hollenburg
Cup in Individual Competitive
Drill at Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Sept. 10.—Today was
Governor’s Day at the state guard en
campment, and notwithstanding the
threatening weather a large crowd of
visitors thronged Camp Churchill
throughout the day. Gov. Davis ar
rived at camp by 5 a. m. and reviewed
the dress parade at 6, after which be
breakfasted with the Dardanelle com
pany. He then inspected the tents
and commissary. In the afternoon
he again inspected the dress parade
and shook bands with all the men
and officers of each company as they
stood in line at present arms.
The individual drill for the Hollen
burg trophy cup, from 9:20 to 11:30 a
m. was witnessed by several thousand
and was a most interesting exhibition
of well drilled men. The winners
from the three regiments were Pri
vate Hardy, Company L from Wynne;
Sergeant Lawrence Comerford, Com
pany B from Little Rock, and Private
Baker, Company E from Dardanelle.
Capt. Boles of the Sixth United States
infantry awarded the cup to Sergeant
Comerford, after which there was
great applause, the men of the Sec
ond regiment carrying the victor
back to his tents on their shoulders.
PLEASURE PARTY DROWNED.
Paragould, Sept. 10.—News has just
reached here that three persons, two
ladies and a child, were drowned in
Pemisco bayou near Chickasawba,
Mississippi county Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Smiley, wife of a prominent
citizen of Blytheville, and little child
and Mrs. Hatchie, a widow who re
sided at Blytheville, are the three who
lost |their lives in the bayou. To
gether with Mr. Smiley they were en
joying a ride in a dugout.
Near Virgilio’s club house the boat
struck a snag and was overturned,
throwing the entire party into the
water. Mr. Smiley exerted himself to
the utmost to save his wife and child
and Mrs. Hatchie, but despite his
efforts they could not be rescued and
it was only by well nigh superhuman
exertion that Mr. Smiley saved his
own life.
Mrs. Hatchie leaves six children.
MURDER CASE GOES TO JURY.
The fate of Walter Horten at press
hour rested with the jury. The per
sonnel of that body was completed
Thursday afternoon when J. A. Rob
erts, H. C. Nuckalls and J. W. Jack
son were accepted as jurymen, George
Sink having been excused.
Strong arguments were delivered
by G. L. Grant and W. A. Oldfield for
the prosecution, and Emmett Jeffreys
and Gustave Jones for the defendant.
Horten is under trial for the1 killing
Ol TjU uiam upuu tuc rn^ui ui
teraber 27 at Weldon. Walter Horten,
together with Ed and Will Clark,
brothers, had attended a dance at the
Odd Fellows’ ball at Weldon, where
they became involved in a contro
versy.
Horten went home after his shot
gun and upon his return met the
Clarks coming out of town. He dis
mounted and shot Ed Clark, from
which he died almost instantly. Will
Clark was also wounded in both legs.
Horten then tried to do some shoot
ing at the Odd Fellows’ hall, but was
caught and tied by some of the ne
groes and lay bound all night. He
was arrested at that time and has
been in jail ever since awaiting trial.

DEATH PENALTY
FOR MART VOWELL.
Paragould, Sept. 10.—The jury in the
ease of the state vs. Mart Vowell for
killing William Lovejoy was given the
case yesterday at noon and at 1
o’clock this morning brought in a
verdict finding the defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree. It has
been one of the most sensational trials
ever held in the county and every
inch of the ground was hotly contest
ed, there being five lawyers to the
side. The penalty for murder in the
first degree is death by hanging.
The Vowell case is one of the most,
interesting in the court annals of Ark
ansas. It was in Clay county that the
killing of Lovejoy by VowelT oc
curred. A few weeks ago a grand
jury in Clay county indicted Vowell
on a charge of murder in the second
degree. Circuit Judge Allen Hughes
required the jurors to reconsider their
action. They returned to court with
another indictment for the same de
gree. Thereupon Judge Hughes ex
ercised his prerogative and dismissed
the jury. He ordered another grand
jury summoned and the second body,
after examining into the killing of
Lovejoy, returned an indictment on
the charge of murder in the first de
gree. Vowell obtained a change of
venue to Greene county and the case
was tried here with the result as
stated.
WILL REDUCE FARES
ON SHORT LINE ROARS.
Consternation has been caused
imong the short line railroads of the
Aate upon the receipt of notice that
Jie Arkansas railroad commission
purposes to regulate the through
passenger rates where the passage is
partially over their lines. This course
was decided upon at the meeting of
the commission held at Little Rock.
Notice will be served upon all the
lines interested that the matter will
be taken up at the first regular meet
ing in October, which will be on the
13th. This power is given the com
mission by the act passed by the last
legislature.
Hitherto the commission has con
fined its work exclusively to a read
justment of the freight rates to apply
to lines inside the state on one or
more lines, and now it is proposed to
apply the same rule of equalization to
the passenger fares. Under the stat
ute the short lines may charge more
than 3 cents a mile for passage, and
while the commission has taken no
action upon the matter it is not at all ^
improbable that the rate will be cut
down to a uniform 3 cents where the
passage is continuous from or to a
short line. They do not believe that
they have the right to reduce the lo>
cal fares where the passage is on the
short line exclusively, nor would do
so if they could.

CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR UNIVERSITY HALL.
Hone. "W. H. Langford of Pine Bluff
and Q. T. Breckinridge of Paragould,
composing the building committee for
the board of trustees of the University
of Arkansas, met in Little Rock on
Thursday and awarded the contract
for the erection of the engineering
hall at the university. The successful
bidder was Albert Byrne of Fayette
ville. His bid was $16,950. The
building will be erected in accordance 1
with the plans and specifications fur
nished by Architect F. W. Giob and
will be completed by March 1, 1904.
An appropriation for it was made by
the last legislature.
TABLES TURNED ON OFFICER.
V. G. Richardson, deputy marshal,
who has made quite a reputation upon
the number of arrests made since his
employment by the city, was arraign
ed before Acting Mayor J. R. Mayhan
Thursday afternoon and fined $10 and
costs for fighting.
Pete Stephens, about whom the
trouble came up, was also assessed $5
and costs for disturbing the peace,
having entered a plea of guilty. The
latter it seems was ordered off the
street by Richardson and upon mak
ing some short reply was struck by
the officer.
Mrs. A. Sherrill returned home to
Weldon Friday, after a visit to her
sister, Mrs. R. F. Drummond.
The rainfall Thursday amounted to
.46 of an inch, varying in different
portions of this county. Only a slight
sprinkle fell beyond the experimental
farm, and over in Oil Trough bottom
only spots were visited. Tuckerman
reports a good rain, and cotton pros
pects are doubtless much improved.
