ACQUITTED.
;al, who has been
lois, attending the
trial of his brother, Tom O’Neal,
who was charged with murder
in the shooting of a man last fall j
during a street fair in that city,
wired his wife Wednesday morn
ing that the jury in the case had
returned a verdict of acquittal.
We are glad to learn that this;
Newport boy has been cleared by
a jury of his peers.
AGED MAN FELL DEAD.
Arkadelphia, March 1.—J. T.
Golden, eighty years old and an j
old resident of this county, fell
and expired at once in this city
today. He came to town in his
wagon today and was an active
man for one of his age. He will
likely be buried by the Masonic
lodge of this place, of which he
was a member.
SEVEN SPURS
TO BE ADDED.
The Iron Mountain railroad
propose to fill up the park just
north of Front Street with addi
tional switch tracks. The work
of laying off the ground for seven
additional tracks was begun
Wednesday by direction of the
roadmaster.
TV.A eniiv is Vn Iaciva VVia main
line near the Choctaw crossing
and is merely a continuation of
an unused spur, which runs north
of the Yelverton wagon yard and
will branch out in the railroad
park. Just whether the Iron
Mountain has the right to use the
park property for this purpose is
doubted, if the city choose to hold
the company to the terms of the
contract by which it became the
property of the railroad company.
OTHER BRAKEMAN
TELLS HIS STORY.
As stated in Tuesday’s Inde
pendent, George Hays and Geo.
Hillhouse went to Hoxie that day
and secured the story of Brake
man Ross, who was also on No.
80 with H. C. Wallace when
Bush Duggitt, the negro under
arrest, rode to Alicia.
His story does not tally exactly
with that of Wallace, who claimed
that the other brakeman did not
see the negro. Ross says he did,
as the negro claimed.
Duggitt still insists that he
gave the brakeman a $5.00 bill i
to carry him to St. Louis and
that they took his coat and shoes.
FINDING OF INQUEST.
Coroner Harrison was here
Tuesday night on his way home
to Tuckerman and reported the

case over the body of Haywood
Ellis, colored.
The deceased came to his death I
