To Investigate Death
Lonoke, Marcn 2-i.—Dr. S. a.
Southall, coroner for Lonoke
county announced tonight that
he immediately will begin to in
vestigate the death of a boy
named Blassingame, near Cab
ot, who died after drinking a
large quantity of whiskey, it is
said Saturday morning.
The lad, nine years old, died
suddenly while members of his
family were atempting to revive
him by standing him on his
head to drain the whiskey from
an overloaded stomach, it is
said
Details of the tragic death of
the lad are meager. Dr. South
all last night said that he had
not been informed of the case
by authorities at Cabot, but
that he would immediately take
up the matter. There are several
stories of the manner in which
the lad procured the whiskey.
James Blassingame, his father,
is mentioned in connection with
the case.

Thonfas orchestra, also with the
New York, Chicago and Minne
I apolis orchestras and with a suc
| cessful European debut and con
I cert tour to her credit.
The “Freisinninge Zeitung” oJ
,November 2, said of her:
“The concert giver can cer
tainly feel gratified over the sue
cess of her first appearance
The applause of the house grev
as the evening went on. Hei
technical skill was admirabh
and manifested itself brilliantly
! in the taxing concerto by Saint
Saens with its brilliant cadenzas
Probably a certain tiredness pre
1! vented the young artist fron
playing an extra number whicl
the audience demanded with in
.tense applause”
CLARKE CARRIES
EASTERN ARKANSAS
Although Rain Fell In Many
Sections ofTheState. A Big
Vote Is Polled.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 25.—Re
ports from Eastern Arkansas
show that Senator Clarke will
undoubtedly carry that section
; by a large majority, estimated
as high as eight to one. Re
ports from the northwestern
part of the state, say that he will
carry that section by a good
margin.
In the southwest portion of the
state he has an even break with
Judge Kirby, whose backers are
refusing offers of two to one on
Clarke.
Senator Clarke's maj >rity will
leach twenty-five thousand.
Miss Love Pleased Audience.
Miss Love gave a piano recit
al at Little Rock last evening of
which the .Arkansas Gazette
has the following to say about !
her:
Not for a long time has a pian
iste so pleased her audience as
did Miss Louise Love in the re
cital she gave at the First
Christian church Tuesday night.
Beginning with the variations
of a Hungarian dance by
Brahms, the liquid tones that
were so gracefully caressed from
he piano at once captivated the
audience. The Brahms numbers
are new to Little Rock on con
cert programs and while the
Chopin numbers are well known,
that fact did not dull the enthu
siasm of the audience when the
ballad in G. Minor was rendered,!
in which the artiste reached her |
highest powers. The pleading'
tones, soft and quiet in the first
theme, gradually rising to the
climax, subsiding only to swell
! again into a great chorus in the
brilliant finale, were magnifi
cently rendered alike in expres
sion and technique.
| Miss Love is an Arkansas girl,
! reared in Searcy, who has reach
ed an enviable position in the
musical world.
