BANDIT IDENTIFIED.
George Rogers Recognized As One
Of Bonnerville Train Robbers
By Frisco Brakeman.
Memphis, January 8.—George Rog
ers, one of the three men arrested by
the police, has been identified by a
brakeman of the Frisco system as the
leader of the gang of bandits that
held up the fast passenger train on
the St Louis & San Francisco railroad
near Bonnerville, Ark., some months
since.
John Estelle, a second member of
the trio, was delivered to Illinois offi
cers to be taken to Marcus, 111., to
stand trial on the charge of being im
plicated in a hold-up on the Burling
ton, near that point, August 5, 1902.
George Rogers, who whistled and
smoked in Chief Mason’s private of
fice after he was captured Tuesday
afternoon, showed a remarkably
change yesterday. About 6 o’clock
yesterday afternoon he was fully
identified by Ben Sanderson, a brake
man on the Frisco, as one of the rob
bers in the Bonnerville hold-up.
Sanderson, accompanied by Turnkey
Kelly, entered the jail corridor. Rog
ers was lying down on his couch in
the south side of the prison. Before
Sanderson had reached Rogers’ cell,
Mr. Kelly spoke to Rogers, who re
plied in his Canadian accent.
“That’s the man,” replied Sander
son after he had heard the voice.
Sanderson stated that he was sure he
would not forget the voice, for it was
Rno-firs. hfi Ktatos that sponiRrl ho
in command of the gang.
Turnkey Kelly then ordered Rogers
to stand up in bis cell. Sanderson ap
proached and positively identified
him without any hesitancy whatever.
When the brakeman appeared clothed
in his uniform, Rogers darted his eyes
at him, but carefully concealed any
emotion which might have agitated
his mind.
TALLER THAN JOHN KEEL.
A notable figure in the legislature
that will convene next week will be
Hon. J. S. Rowland of Valley Springs,
“the gentleman from Boone.” He
will without a doubt says the Gazette
be the tallest man in the general as
sembly, towering to the height of six
feet, eight incheB. Mr. Rowland is full
of dry humor, and takes jokes on his
extreme height with ease, managing
to get back at the joker with as good
as he gives. He is a teacher by pro
fession. When asked his height Mr.
Rowland says. “Five feet twenty
inches.” Mr. Rowland carries his
height well. Yesterday in the upstairs
corridors of the Capital he was sur
rounded by pretty young ladies, who
are candidates for positions in the
house. One of these was somewhat
below the average height, and the
representative had to bend almost
double to get on a level with her face.
“A dime talking to a dollar,” said one
of his friends. “He is one man who
at least will gain the attention of the
speaker,” said another. “Yes,”
chimed still another, “we are going to
pass up, not down, all the bills to Mr.
Rowland that we are anxious to be
passed.” He takes everybody’s eye.
Mr. Rowland is possessed of a rich,
deep voice in addition to his height,
and makes a noticeable figure as ne
swujub u«au auu buouiuoib auuvt) uib
fellows.
Mr. Rowland has a bill to introduce
whose scope will be entirely local, so
far as he is concerned, but which may
develop into a first-class sensation for
county officials over the state. He
made his campaign issue for the house
on putting the county officers on a
salary basis, instead of fees.
The coincidence is rather remark
able that this towering statesman
from Boone, should resemble strik
ingly in height our Jackson County
representative and have been elected
upon the same issue.
SECOND NEGRO BANK.
—
Little Rock is soon to have a bank
i owned and operated by colored peo
ple. The first bank established by
colored people in Arkansas was
! launched at Pine Bluff. It is a new
i thing, but it seems to be prospering.
! It is a commendable stroke of enter
| prise on the part of the colored peo
{ pie to branch out into the financial
j world through banking institutions. If
; the colored people patronize these
| banks the banks will prosper.—Pine
| Bluff Graphic.
TO CITIZENS OF*NEWPORT
AND VICINITY.
It is with pleasure that I thank you
for your generous patronage for the
past few months, and if I can secure a
location I will endeavor to merit your
patronage in future.

KRATA SAVED FROM FIRE.
Cotton Belonging To V. Y. Cook
Thrown Overboard To Save
Steamer On White River
Above Jacksonport But
Rescued Later In Dam
aged Condition.
Special to Independent.
Jacksonport, Jan. 9.—The steamer
Krata of the Inman Decker line of
boats, narrowly escaped burning
Thursday two miles above the mouth
of Black river on White, com
pelling the crew to throw overboard
tifty-three bales of cotton, belonging
to V. Y. Cook of Elmo and being con
veyed from that point to Newport.
Capt. Charles Miller was in charge
of the boat, when the cotton
caught afire from sparks from the
smokestack. The crew at first tried
to save the cargo, hut this ivas found
to be impossible and at the risk of the
boat’s safety.
After the cotton was tossed over
board, the Krata ran down to Jack
sonport and with Capt. E. Q. Riddell
as pilot, the work of picking up the
floating bales as they came past the
old town was begun. Numbers of
skiffs were also pressed into service
and many responded to the call for
help, these boats towing the bales to
the bank where they could be picked
up later.
The cotton was badly burned and
Capt. F. 1. Inman of Black Rock was
telegraphed to meet the boat at New
port Friday morning so that the dam
age may be computed. Whether the
cotton was insured is not known.
DAMAGED COTTON ARRIVES.
The steamer Krata arrived Friday
UUUIi VV1 LU LUO UttlgU UUULcliUlUg UttUl"
aged cotton. The loss is not as heavy
as expected and will probably not ex
ceed $50.
Colonel V. Y. Cook and Capt. Fred
I. Inman were also here Friday look
ing after the rescued property, which
had been purchased by B. M. Crow,
prior to shipment. Colonel Cook in
formed the Independent reporter
that this represented the last of his
crop.
LATE COTTON CROP MAY BE LOST.
Pine Bluff, Jan. 8.—J. M. Hudson
Jefferson count’y best informed crop
statistician, says the weather experi
enced during the past forty days in
this section is the worst for thirty
years. Relative to its effect he says:
“During that time It has rained on
nineteen days; not hard beating
rains, that flood the streams and pack
the soil, but the gentle, consistent
rain that saturates the soil thoroughly
and mikes impassable roads. During
all this time the cotton unpicked has
been wasting. We cannot count on
more than 60 per cent of the cotton
that was in the fields when the bad
weather set in ever being gathered.
The estimated loss to the farmers in
this county is four thousand bales,
worth $150,000, and at least $50,000 loss
in the decreased price of the remain
ing cotton. Notwithstanding all these
disasters the crop of 1902 enables the
farmer to commence the crop of 1903
in better condition than one year ago.
An abundance of cereals and forage
have been raised to support the farm
ing community. The corn crib is no
longer in Kansas and Nebraska, but at
the home of each farmer.”

nesday.—Marianna Index.
The Quickstep, which was recently
sold by the Kelley Lumber Company,
had made arrangements to leave
Thursday night under charge of
Capt. Ed Warner for points on the
Arkansas river, where the boat will
again see active service under new
owners, but her departure was post
poned.
Leo Omohundro, the well-known
tobacco king, who has with his wife
been spending the holidays in the east,
returned home Thursday morning.
He reports business booming, had a
great time, and predicts for Arkansas
the most prosperous year in the his
tory of the state.—Arkansas Dem
ocrat.
Peter Anderson came down from
Batesville Thursday night and will be
here for several days. He was joined
here Friday by Harry Lasker of the
firm of Lasker Bros., wholesale liquor
dealers of Little Rock. Mr. Ander
son stated to a reporter for the In
dependent that he would ask for a
license to run a saloon in the corner
building, occupied by Kirkland Bros.,
when Newport had saloons two years
ago. If Mr. Anderson goes into busi
ness here, he will again make this his
home and remove his family here.
MATHENY WILL LOOK
AFTER THE INEBRIATES.
Hon. Ira J. Matheny, representa
tive-elect from Independence county,
announced his purpose to a Gazette
reporter to introduce a bill in the
legislature to establish “an institution
for the detention and treatment of
dipsomaniacs, inebriates and those
addicted to the excessive use of nar
cotics.”
An appropiation of §100,000 is called
for by the bill to equip and maintain
the institution, to be paid out of the
revenues derived from liquor license.
