VOLUME V. NEWPORT, ARKANSAS. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1905. NUMBER 116.
t ___ --
TWO WEDDINGS OCCUR.
Crow-Edgar Nuptials at Newark and
lindley-Gardncr at Melbourne.
CROW-EDGAR.
Mr. W. K. Crow of this city
stole a march cn his many New
port friends Thursday by going
to Newark on business, as he
said, and was quietly married
that evening at 5 o’clock, the
young lady being Miss Maude
Edgar of Newark, a niece of
Mrs. Will Magness of that little
city.
Miss Edgar is a charming young
lady and was to have assisted in
one of-the millinery establish
ments of this city during the
the winter. She is a young lady
of excellent character and the
groom, who has made many
friends during his stay in New
port, is to be congratulated upon
having won such a woman for a
helpmeet.
LINDLEY-GARDNER.
J. W. Lindley of Tuckerman
and Miss Willie Gardner of Mel- j
bourne were married at the home i

and arrived in Newport Thurs
, day evening, leaving Friday
morning for a short stay in Hot
Springs.
Miss Gardner is the daughter
of John Gardner of Melbourne,
one of the most excellent fami
lies of Izard county, while the
groom, who has long been one of
Birds township’s most influential
and leading citizens, is too well
known in this city to need fur
ther mention, and who has a
host of friends who join the In
dependent in wishing for Mr.
Lindley and his fair bride a hap
py union through life’s journey.
Killed By Guard.
Little Rock, Sept. 7.-A quar
antine guard at Cypress, on the
Arkansas-Louisiana state line
shot and killed an unknown ne
gro who was trying to break
through the quarantine this aft
ernoon. The negro had assault
ed the guard, who claims that he
shot in self-defense.
Gov. Davis has ordered the
soldier turned over to the sheriff
and instructed Capt. Penney, the
commanding officer, to have an
, inquest held over the body. .
An Early Erost.
The tail-end of the great storm_
that swept the northern lakes
struck the south Monday and
visions of an early frost were
had in many localities. It is
stated that something like half a
a score of lives were lost on Lake
Superior and property destroyed
to the extent of half a million
dollars in value. An early frost
would destroy more than that
amount in the south, and yet the
south is praying for cold weather.
We are generous enough to
waive the prospects of additional
revenues through better crops if
the early frost shall kill the yel
low fever germs in this section.

CIOSING IN ON ARKANSAS.
State Guard Increased to Prevent Yellow
Fever Refugees Getting Into
State—Abuses Corrected.
Dr. J. P. Runyan, president of
the Arkansas state board of
health, has advices that there
are some cases of yellow fever
on a farm in the state of Missis
sippi, across the river from Ar
kansas, about twelve miles from
Lake Village.
The sheriff of Chicot county
writes that “the yellow fever
situation is getting so serious
that we are in need of more
guards, and you will do us a
great favor if you will send us
25 more guards at once. There
are sixty-three cases of fever at
Lake Providence and three above
ihere, and in consequence of so
much exposure in watching our
people are getting sick. There
are seventy or more cases at
Tallulah, La. The guards are
getting sick.”
A detachment of thirty-five
men has been ordered from the
Paris company to re-enforce the
guard on the state line in Chicot.
Dr. C. P. Smith of Arkansas
City wired Dr. Runyan for in- |
structions about the disposal of
a party of six people from Lake
Providence who landed in Ar-:
ksnsas at the mouth of the Ar- i
kansas river. Dr. Runyan wired
to have the party returned at
once to Lake Providence, if that
is possible, and if not to arrest
and keep them in detention for
six days, under guard, reporting
in full to the state board by
letter.
Dr. W. F. Smith of Hartford,
Sebastian county, was today
commissioned justice of the peace
to issue health certificates, being
paid a salary by the state. Sim
ilar appointments are to be made
at Mammoth Spring, Memphis
and Moark. This is done in
order that all persons coming to
the state line who may not have
certificates, but who may be en
titled to them, may be provided
with certificates without being
subjected to graft. No charge
whatever is to be made for the
issuance of the certificates, as
the notarial officers are paid by
the state for their services.
Col. W. K. Surridge, First
Regiment, A. S. G., who was
sent to Mammoth Spring yester
day afternoon to investigate the
reports of graft coming from
that city, wired Gov. Davis this
morning as follows:
“Have stopped graft at Thay
er. Citizens of Mammoth Spring
and Frisco authorities assisting
us. Commissioned Roy Verkler

volunteered services free. Chau
tauqua people well pleased.
Everything in good condition.”
Sustains Serious fall.
Ex-Senator Gip Gray of Inde
pendence county took a fall of
twenty feet out of the window of
room 18 of the Grand Central
Hotel Thursday night to the
pavement beneath. While he is
doubtless pretty badly bruised,
he was fortunate to have only
sustained such injuries, as the
doctor says there were no bones
broken.

Rock-Confesses Crime.

Jackson county for the murder
of an 18-year-old white boy at
Ben Simmons’ gin at Tupelo in
the fall of 1903, was arrested in
Little Rock Thursday by Chief of
Police J. J. Hawkins, who wired
Sheriff Simmons of his capture,
stating that the prisoner would
be brought to Newport Saturday.
As court convenes Monday he

es present, the negro and two
