CASHIER ARRESTED
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
Bank ol DeVall’s Bluff Proceeds
Against Ex-Cashier Strong, Who
Claims a Full Settlement of
Shortage Will Be Made.
DeVall’s Bluff, July 29.—George C.
Strong, until recently cashier of the
Bank of DeVall’s Bluff, has been ar
rested here on the charge of embez
zlement. He was given a preliminary
hearing today. The hearing will be
continued tomorrow. He is now out
on a $500 bond.
Strong admits that his accounts are
short about $1,800, but says that
everything will be settled satisfac
torily today.
The exact amount of the shortage
has not been ascertained, but it is not
thought that it will go over $5,000,
and perhaps not that much. The bank
will not be affected by the shortage,
as it is fully protected by an indemnity
bond, and its business is not inter
rupted in any manner whatever.
About a month ago Strong was sick
for several days in Little Rock. On
his return to DeVall’s Bluff he re
signed his position with the bank, but
his arrest is an unexpected develop
ment in the case. He was formerly a
resident of Little Rock and also of
Camden, Ark., though he is said to be
originally from Kansas. He came to
DeVall’s Bluff in 1900, when the bank
here was organized.
Mr. Strong said tonight that the en
tire matter would be settled today.
He admits being short about $2,000,
but said the chief cause of the trouble
was a fight for control of the bank.
GOVERNOR LEARY
OF COLONEL MURPHY.
Lake Village, July 29 —More than
3,000 people attended the annual pic
nic and barbecue given today at Ma
sonic Concord park in Chicot county,
three miles frljn Eudora and eighteen
miles from Make Village on the Mis
sissippi Rivfy, mimburg & Western
railway. /
ColoneljpeorgefW. Murphy was the
| principalJspeakey of the occasion and
delivered a scathing attack upon the
governor, whoty he accused of cow
ardice and dishonesty.
Although it was not stated authori
tatively by any member of the com
mittee, those in charge did not think
of the strained relations existing be
tween Gov. Davis and Col. Murphy
when they were both invited, and
it was not thought proper that
they should both speak on political
lines at a fraternal picnic. Sheriff
Frank Strong wrote the governor ad
vising him not to come, but he did
this as a personal friend of the gov
ernor, and not as a member of the
committee.
BRAKEMAN’S COSTLY SLEEP.
A Frisco brakeman named Younger
is at the hospital in Fort Smith, says
the Times, suffering from injuries re
ceived by being struck by a train on
Saturday. He belonged to Will Sur
ratt’s freight crew and near Poteau
was sent back to flag a passenger.
Younger had been working overtime
and, placing his lantern by the Bide of
the track, sat down on one of the
ties to await the coming of the passen
ger. There he fell asleep and so
soundly that the approach of the
train did not awaken him. He was
knocked off and, as stated, severely
injured. The freight went on and
when nearing Wister the passenger
was met and Surratt asked the con
ductor if he had picked up the brake
man and, finding that he had not,
Will backed down to the spot where
he saw the light setting and found
Younger lying beside the track un
conscious.

ARKANSAS MIDLAND
REPORTED SOLD.
Frisco System Thought to Have Pur
chased Property—Sale Part of
Compromise Forced Upon
Missouri Pacific.
Helena, Ark., July 29.—A persistent
rumor in railroad circles here today is
to the effect that the Arkansas Mid
land railroad has been purchased
from the Goulds by the Frisco sys
tem.
The Midland runs from Helena to |
Clarendon and Brinkley, and was
formerly owned by Helena capital
ists, being sold two years ago to the
Missouri Pacific system.
It is believed that the sale of the
Arkansas Midland to the Frisco is a
part of the compromise forced by the
Frisco interests in their fight against
the Goulds for the control of the west
bank of the Mississippi river, and that
by the sale of this road will be sil
enced the talk of a line from Memphis
to New Orleans to parallel the line
now being built by the Gould system
between these two points.
The Frisco and Rock Island systems
now own the White & Black River
railroad from Brinkley to Newport,
thus forming a continuous line be
tween that point and Helena, and it iB
believed to be the intention of the
road’s officials to continue their line
from Newport to a point in the north
western part of the State, thus giving
their great business from the North
west an opening to the Mississippi
river, both at Helena (over the Mid
land) and to Memphis (over the Choc
taw.) From either point the Illinois
Central and the Missouri Pacific lines
can be reached, thus leading to the
gulf, by the trackage agreement se
cured between the two lines named.
Such a stroke is regarded as a master
ful one, and a great thing for the
Frisco system, while the sale of the
Midland, thus doing away with the
parallel line of the Frisco, is a big ad
vantage for the Missouri Pacific,
owned by the Gould interests.
