Wholesale Arresl Of Calico Rock Youths
For Numerous Burglaries—In
volves Prominent
A Families.
^Troy Kerr, four sons of T. J.
Mathews and a son of F. N.
Rand are under bond at Calico
Rock, Grover Hivley is in jail,
and the son of Rev. Mr. Peel is
* a fugitive, as the result of arrests
made in connection with a num
|r ber of robberies which have oc
curred at Calico Rock recently,
% says th? Ratesville Guard. The
accused had preliminary hearings
Saturday, with the result above
stated.
* The business houses of Calico
Rock have been robbed at inter
vals for two or three years, and
the identity of the guilty persons
was only learned by accident.
The store of E. N. Rand & Co.
Kave been the heaviest losers,
J and a number of the boys were
, * caught in the store of the former
] firm last week at night, in the
1 act of leaving the store with a
number of articles in a sack. A
member of the nrm had occasion
to go to the store at night, and
caught the robbers in the act.
J; Young Peel, who was standing
guard on the outside, failed to
give the alarm in time to allow
his confederates to escape, but
succeeded in eluding capture
himself.
When confronted with their
crimes young Hivley, confessed
that the party had committed
many robberies, and told differ
ent hiding places where stolen
||^^rticles could be found, and stoi
pHjen merchandise to a large
r amount was found at different
places indicated by Hivley in his
confession.
The defendants, who seemed
to be well organized from the
length of time they have pil
laged without detection, ranged
in ages from 14 to 21 years, one
of the party being married.
The discovery of the identity
of the plunderers created a sen
sation in Calico Rock, the boys
belonging to the best families
in that section.
The Last Rites of C. H. Wilmans.
The funeral services over the
remains of Charles H. Wilmans
were held at the family residence
Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
Rev. M. B. Umsted and Rev.
R. B. Willis officiating at the
house, the cortege then pro
ceeded to the Walnut Grove cem
etery, where Dr. George B. Nor
► ton, rector of St. ^aul’s church,
read the ritual when all that was
mortal of Charles H. Wilmans was
lowered in a flower-lined grave
by six of his colored men ten
ants, whose devotion to their em
ployer was further proven when
they asked this privilege for the
jfe. last time of administering to his
body. The floral emblems were
the most beautiful that have
ever been seen in this city, com
ing from all over the state and
many from friends living afar.
The active pallbearers were
S. R. Pnillips, J. W. Grubbs, Ike
Goldman, John H. Keel, George
R. Hayes, T, S. Stephens, John
Blanchard and J. R. Cox.
Great Revival at Methodist Church.
The service _ last night at the
Metnodist church was the best
held thus far during the meeting.
The church people were deeply
M stirred and quite a number of
the unconverted went forward
£or prayer.
congregation was large
eatly interested from start
bh.
r. McIntosh preached a ser
mon that for clearness and and
power is scarcely excelled. The
whole discourse was a practical
demonstration of the “Divinity
of Christ.”
The preacher said he found
two great facts in the world and
they were here to stay, namely:
“That the Bible was the re
vealed will of God and that Jesus
was the son of God.”
His text was taken from John
7:17: “If any man shall do His
i will he shall know of the doc
trine. ”
The speaker further said that
| if he did not have as high evi
dence of the divinity of Christ as
he did of his own existence he
would never attempt to preach
again. Jesus Christ rested his
divinity on consciousness and
that is the highest reason we
have for anything.
All who attend these meetings
seem to be greatly benefitted,
and those who do not are missing
a great privilege. Services this
afternoon at 3 o’clock and to
night at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. McIntosh announced that
he would preach Thursday after
noon to ladies only. He says
the sermon to mothers wives and
daughters is the best he has.
The meeting will continue
through th'e week. X
EXTENSION CERTAIN.
St. Louis and North Arkansas Railroad
Will Probably Bu Id Both Ways.
Little Rock, Feb. 18.-The St.
Louis & North Arkansas Rail
road is to be extended to Joplin
on the north and either to Helena
or Little Rock or Memphis on
the southeast.
This is the report that was
brought to Little Rock yesterday
by a party of local capitalists
who are/interested in the enter
prise, Messrs. John McClure,
P. K. Roots, John M. Moore and
W. B. Smith, who on Wednesday
attended a conference at St.
Louis with Messrs. John Scullen,
Charles H. Smith, David R.
Francis, A. G. Edwards, R. E.
Brookins, Richard Kerens, Pow
ell Clayton, the Taussigs, Dozier
and Dickman.
The conference was called for
the purpose of considering the
situation, and resulted in the ap
pointment of a building com
mittee consisting of Messrs.
Scullen, Brookins, Francis, Clay
ton and Kerens, who are charged
with the duty of finally determ
ining upon the routes to be fol
lowed. Most of these are mil
lionaires.
It is the desire ot those mter
! ested in the project to secure a
western outlet by extending to
Joplin, and an outlet to the Gulf
at New Orleans by as short and
direct a route as possible. It
will require about $3,500,00(1
more to finance these extensions,
and not quite all of this is in
sight yet. All express confi
dence, however, that it will be
raised and the extensions built.
Many of those present at the
conference favored Helena or
Memphis as the most feasible
point on the Mississippi by means
of which to secure the Gulf out
let. There are some* however,
| who are favorable to Little Rock
and there is still a possibility of
i its extension to this city.

EAST MAIL WAS WRECKED.
Engine Rod Broke While Train Was in
South St. Louis and Numerous
I
Injuries Resulted.
St. Louis, Feb. 19.—The new j
fast mail train on the Iron Moun
tain railroad which is racing
against the Frisco-Katy lines for,
: mail contracts to Texas, was:
!wrecked in South St. Louis this:
'morning and twelve men on j
board, including the engineer
and conductor, were injured.
The breaking of a rod on the
; engine caused the wreck. The
train was just getting into full
speed when the locomotive
bounded from the track. It was
! followed by two cars. The en
gine and the first car were tele
scoped and together they rolled
down a 15-foot embankment.
The second car, after turning
over, lodged in the River Pes
Peres.
j It is not believed that the in
juries of any of the victims will
prove fatal.
CITIZENS AID VICTIMS.
•
] When the train left the union :
station this morning it consisted
of two mail and two express
coaches. Directly behind the
locomotive was a mail coach, j
This coach was telescoped. In it
1 were the clerks who were in
jured.
After the wreck, persons m
-the neighborhood, who were
aroused by the crash, turned out
to care for the injured. Several
of the victims wyere so tightly
pinioned under the wreckage
that it required much work to
release them.
| The accident is the first mis- J
; hap of a serious nature that has i
occurred since the race between j
i the two mail trains was started
three weeks ago.
