TO ENJOIN WHITNEY SHOWS.
City Aldermen of Street and Alley Com
mittee Seek to Enjoin Carnival
Company.
There was a shifting of shows
on the streets of Newport Sun
day and Monday in the depart
ure of the Bauscher Carnival
Company for their next engager
ment at Cotton Plant and the
incoming of Whitney’s Greater
Show-, which will exhibit here
this week under the direction of
the local fire department.
By permission of Acting May
or J. R. Mayhan t.ieir tents were
pitched upon Front, Hazel and
Walnut streets, but to this
program Aldermen W. R.
Thompson and A. D. Bailey,
members of the street and alley
committee, have objected and
served notice upon the fire de
partment, in whose name the
Whitney Shows are licensed, to
appear before Judge George T.
Humphries at Batesville at 10
o’clock Tuesday morning, where
an injunction will be sought
against using the streets for
show purposes.
The fire department has em
ployed 3. M. Stuckey and G. A.
Hillhouse to represent them and
there promises to be a battle
royal in the courts.
In most towns and cities street
carnivals are giveh upon the
streets as indicated in their very
name, and pending a settlement
of the case in court, Whitney’s
Greater shows are continuing
the erection of their tents and
paraphernalia and will soon be
ready for business.
Whitney’s Greater Shows come
to Newport from Walnut Ridge,
where they were w-ell received.
Following is the comment of the
.Blade, anent their stay in that
city; - ,
THE BEST EVER HERE.
“Whitney’s Greater Shows have
been in Walnut Ridge this week
to the delight of all. This is un
questionably the best street fair
that has ever come to our city,
and is managed by one of the
nicest men we have ever run
across in the show business.
We have found Mr. Whitney to
be a perfect gentleman. The
show has some high-grade at
tractions, Lotta being the star,
and our people have almost gone
wild over her. The Hindoo is
very clever. “Dixie,”'’ the min
strels, is a creation of laughter.

out feet or hands, write® a good
“hand’” with his mouth, and

is also a wonderful attraction.
The Creation, made up of op
tical illusions, presents a pleas
ing diversion and is a great at
traction. The Electric Theatre
is another great attraction and
draws good crowds. One pleas
ant and enjoyable feature of the
Whitney Shows is the Italian
band. The Whitney Shows are
t above the average of street fairs.
Sacred Concert.
The Sacred Concert given at
the Methodist church Sunday
evening drew a crowded house
as it justly deserved, for the peo
ple of Newport have long since
learned to appreciate local talent,
and their concerts in church or
opera music, never fail to draw
packed houses.
The music was under the di
rection of Mrs. R. W. Bandy
who is to be congratulated upon
the complete success of the con
cert, and it is to be hoped anoth
er equally as good will be re
peated soon.

A gentleman who resides near
the Ball farm, who was in the!
city Saturday, says the Bates- j
ville Guard, brought in the news j
of a woman leaving her husoand,'
taking with her their child and
$1,800 in cash, and assaulting her
husband with a six shooter when ;
he overtook her at Sulphur Rock, j
laying him up for repairs, while;
she and the child continued their j
journey.
| The man, whose name was i
1 Jarrell, had sold his farm, andI
was traveling through the coun
I iry in a wagon with his wife and
! small child, as he alleged, for the
| benefit of his health. They had
! stopped for a few days on the
| Ball farm, where they engaged
| in picking cotton for some of the
: tenants. Mr. Jarrell came to
Batesville a few days ago, and
| during his absence his wife, who ,
' declared that his health was ex
cellent and that he was squan
dering the money their home :1
had brought, hired a boy to
take her to Sulphur Rock, where
she would take the train and go;
where her husband could not find >
her. Taking the money and the
child the woman left for Sulphur
Rock. The husband returned to
the Ball farm, and learning where j
his wife had gone followed her. j
i Arriving at Sulphur Rock he
found his spouse and attempted i
to persuade her to return to him,
or at least divide the roi^ The
woman would not listen i o the
proposition of her husband, and
w hen the argument became1
rather heated she brought the
argument to an abrupt close by
1 striking Jarrell over the head
with a six-shooter. Jarrell was
left in the hands of physicians
for repairs, while the woman left
on the train.
A later report is that Mrs.
Jarrell went to Hot Springs,
from which city she wrote to Mr.
Felts, for whom the family.
worked on the Ball farm, asking
about her husband, and request- j
ing that he write to her. No
reference is made in the letter:
to the alleged assault made upon
Jarrell by her at Sulphur Rock.

No. 3 on White River.
_
Capt. Wm. Parkin=, engineer
n charge of constructing Lock i
No. 3, was in Batesville Friday
svening en .route to his home in '
Little Rock for a brief visit.
Capt. Parkins informed a rep
resentative of the Guard of that
city that the constructing work
is progressing rapidly on the,
land wall of the lock, and that i
:he forms are now being erected j
for the river wall. He stated i
that the recent rises in the river j
have interfered with the work to!
a considerable extent, it being a
difficult matter to keep the water
aut of the pits.
Capt. Parkins stated that 160!
are now engaged on the work,
nearly all of whom reside in this
section. He stated that home j
ueople are always employedon the
work, when possible, as the em- j
ployment of transient labor does j -
not benefit the country as much i
as giving employment to people
who reside here.
