I FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Little Rock Woman Killed by
Cclntact with Wires Connect
' I ing an Electric Fan.
Liltle Rock, July 21. — Mrs.
Youmg, wife of Dr. J. M. Young,
ex-ccironer of Pulaski county,
was instantly killed at her home
in th: s city yesterday by an elec
tric ! shock. Mrs. Young, with
sever al other members of the
famil y, was in her room engaged
in rea rranging the furniture. A
wards obe was being removed
from me side of the room to an
other, when in some way the
electr c fan, which was in the
centes of the room, was struck
by th< top of the wardrobe with
suffici :nt force to break the fan
down. In falling, the wire,
which was attached to the fan,
becan* wrapped around Mrs.
YounA and in an instant she
was dlad. Dr. Young, her hus
band, I had just arrived at his
office when the sad intelligence
was talcen to him, and he at once
notifiel Drs. E. R. Dibrell and
B. L. nlrench, and hurried to his
home. | The three physicians ar
rived t|ere almost together, and
at once examined Mrs. Young,
in the hope that the current had
only stunned her, but such was
not the case. She was killed in
stantly. Crossed wires were
found near the residence this
afternoon, which caused the ac
cident. The current supplied a
desk fan, which was being moved
when the tragedy occurred. The
voltage was found to be 2,300,
hr the usual voltage of
lloT Mrs. Young was 37 years
of age. _^ ^_

Baxter Reid, of Friar’s Point,

v For the ceremony Mrs. Reid
wore a robe of white chiffon,
over white taffeta, daintily de
signed, and garnished with rare
* old lace. Her flowers were bride
roses. The only attendants were
the four ushers, Frank and Harry
Reid and Joseph and Frank
Fisher, all of Friar’s Point. Im
mediately after the church ser
vice Mr. and Mrs. Reid went to
the Hotel Gayoso, where they
will remain for a few days.

of the foremost citizens of
Friars Point, whose family, like
I" ■ 1
j that of the bride’s, stands sec
ond to none in the social world.
—Commercial Appeal.
FOLK FOR GOVERNOR.
Folk has been nominated for
governor of Missouri by the
Democratic convention in Jeffer
son City. Cook and Allen have
been placed upon the ticket, how
ever, though the convention was
in the hands of Folk’s friends.
This latter result was due to the
instruction of delegates by many
of the counties.
Mr. Folk said, in discussing
the ticket:
“There was absolutely no com
promise of any nature or charac
ter. The nominees of the con
vention represept the wishes of
the Democracy bf the State, ex
pressed in county primaries and
in conventions. There was no
way for me to prevent the nomi
nation of men who had been in
structed for.
“Of course, I could have de
clined the nomination for gover
nor, but it would have been
childish to desert the men who
had stood by me in this stren
uous fight, and declined to do the
work delegated to me simply be
cause other men on the ticket
were not my personal choice. ’ ’
CONTESTS IN COURT

Little Rock, July 21.— J. H.
Hicks, who claims to have been

Central Committee some time
ago, but the committee rejected
his appeal and declared M. C.

election commissioners of Lonoke
county to declare him the legal
nominee.
POCAHONTAS HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Pocahontas, July 21.—One of
Mrs. Kate Morris’ houses on the
south side of town was burned
at an early hour this morning.
It caught from a defective flue,
and although there were other
houses within forty feet, yet on
account of no breeze they were
easily saved.
The house was occupied by
the children of W. H. Bell, he
and his wife being down on the
river, pearling. This makes the
third fire for Mr. Bell within the
last twelve months. In the first
two his loss was total, but this
time he had a small insurance.
Loss of house and contents was
about $800, with $400 insurance.
