VOLUME V. NEWPORT, ARKANSAS. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, J905. NUMBER t&i.
PARAGOULD WOMAN SHOT.
Boys Using Target Rifle fatally Shot
A Woman Who Was Passing on
a Nearby Street.
Mrs. Atkins, a prominent lady
of Paragouid, was accidently
killed Tuesday while passing
along one of the principal streets.
Two boys were in a warehouse
shooting a 2^-caliber rifle for
practice, and were trying to cut
a string in two, when one of the
balls penetrated the wall and
struck the lady in the temple,
causing almost instant death.
The ''boys, unaware of what
they had done, continued to
shoot for about thirty minutes
before they were stopped and in
formed of what had happened.
As only one rifle was being
used by the boys and each took
turn in shooting, it would of
course be impossible to tell which
was the unfortunate one, and in
a sense both would be respon
sible.
It is a singular coincidence that
a son of this lady was killed a
few years ago in precisely the
same manner.
TWO CHILDREN LOST.
Two Children Under Seven Lost in Hills
of independence County.
No Trace found.
Two children of Mr. and Mrs.
I Walter Sharp, of Wolf Bayou,
ia Knf cnv
' years of age, Pandered away
.. from their home last Tuesday
afternoon, says the Batesville
Guard, and up to noon today no
trace had been found of them,
notwithstanding the surround
ing country was scoured by par
ties of j^eighbors during the en
tire night and all this forenoon
in an effort to find the missing
... children.
The two children went to a
spring near their home Tuesday
after water. When they did not
return at the proper time their
parents went to investigate the
cause of their absence, and not
finding them gave the alarm and
their neighbors immediately en
tered upon a search, which had
proved fruitless up to noon to
day*
If the children are found alive
it is feared that serious results
may follow the exposure and
fright they have suffered.
Addis Bryan Sentenced.
Texarkana, Nov. 22.—In the
United States district court yes
terday Addis Bryan, a former
deputy United States marshal, a
close blood relation of William
Jennings JBryan oi iveorasKa,
pleaded guilty to an indictment
returned by the last grand jury
charging him with obstructing
another deputy named Bush in
t$ie discharge of his duty last
^ winter.
' Bush had arrested a man on a
charge of illicit distilling or
moonshining and was en route
1 with him to the Firt Smith jail
when Bryan is alleged to have
interfered on the train, taking
Bush's pistol from him and
striking him with it on the head.
Judge Rogers imposed a fine
of $100 and a sentence of three
months in jail, but ordered the
last part of the sentence sus
pended on payment of the fine.
Piggott Suffers $20,000 fire.
Piggott, Nov. 22:—Piggott suf
fered from her first fire of any
seriousness yesterday between 10
and 12 o’clock. The fire broke
out in T. J. Julian’s baker shop
and spread rapidly north and
south, burning the City barber
shop on the south and the Bon
Ton restaurant and Boyle & Co. ’s
grocery store on the north.
The buildings were all frame.
The loss is estimated at from fif
teen to twenty thousand dollars.
The town would have been wiped
completely off the map had the
fire occurred in the night in
stead of the day. Heroic work
by the citizens of the town and
the visitors present saved the
large store of Bertig Bros, from
burning.
Practically no insurance was
carried by the occupants of the
several buildings burned, but a
great deal of their wares were
saved.
Burglar Mitsed Poisoned Cake.
Hot Springs, Nov. 22.—John
Marberry, although a prisoner
in the county jail, a confessed
burglar, is rejoicing. He is glad
that he wasn’t caught by the
latest novelty in burglar traps,
and expresses his satisfaction
that the constables got him in
the conventional manner.
If Marberry had fallen a vic
tim of the trap laid *by a farmer
whom he had thrice robbed he
would have been dead, whereas
j he now only stands a good chance
j of going to the pen.
1 J. N. Mooney, a farmer, whose
house had been burglarized three
; times, noticing that the burglar
in each instance took something
to eat, placed a poisoned cake on
a table before his family left the
house. That very night Marber
ry made a third entrance to the
! house and got away with val
uables. He never noticed the
cake, but helped himself from
the pantry as usual. He was
arrested yesterday and con
fessed.

Young Man Stabbed.
A young man named Rutlege,
the son of Jack Rutledge, who
resides near Salado, was stabbed
in the side by John Franklin last
Saturday, in a fight at Fowler’s
mill, resulting from a previous
difficulty in which John Franklin
and Bob Hill, with whom Frank
lin worked, had engaged with
Jack Rutledge, in the field of the
latter, says the Batesville Guard.
The trial of John Franklin is
set for November 30, at Salado.
Franklin bears a bad reputation,
and now owes a balance on a
fine assessed against him in the
Circuit Court.

Two Difficult Bridges Delay Com
pletion of White River
Railroad.
On last Saturday the ends of
the White River road of the Iron
Mountain were only a mile ai d
a half apart, but it will be some
weeks' before t he first train is
run through. Two bridges ju.-k
west of the Omaha tunnel are
still unfinished, and, while the
work is being rushed, there is
no certainty as to the day on
which the last spike will be
driven, but it will be sometime
in December. It was thought a
month ago that the line could be
connected up in time for the op
ening at Cotter today.
The two bridges mentioned
will require some of the hardest
work on the line, that over Bar
ren Fork being 700 feet in
length, including the approach
es. It was thought that the two
bridges would be finished before
the Turkey creek bridge east of
the Omaha tunnel, and , working
on that theory all the material
for the track from the tunnel to
Turkey creek was sent to the
lower end of the line, and the
result has been that* the mater
ial now has to be hauled back
through St. Louis to Carthage,
over a thousand miles, to a point
less than six miles from its
starting point in order to work
from Turkey creek to the Oma
ha tunnel.
It seems settled that Cotter
will'be the division point of the
White river road, and a large
force of men are at work laying
off the yards. The stakes are
set for the turntable and round
house, one steam shovel is on
the ground, and a gang of 200
laborers is on its way up the
line to start on the work.
H. C. Townsend, general pas
senger agent of the Missouri
Pacific system, was one of a
number of distinguished passen
gers on No. 4 Wednesday. The
general passenger agents of all
the southwestern members of
the Gould system of roads have
been in conference on this trip
as to the operation of a palatial
| special train from St. Louis to
Mexico City twice a week. The
! new train, which is to be speedy
! as well as beautiful, will make
| its first trip January 16.
