HENRY BORDWELL’S SUDDEN DEATH.
Stricken With Hemorrhage And Suc
cumbs Immediately Saturday Morn
ing In Rear Of His Saloon.
Henry Bordwell, an old and
highly respected citizen of Jack
son county, who came to Jack
sonport in 1858 from Ontario
county, New York, died about
9:35 o’clock Saturday morning
from a hemorrhage which burst
ed a blood vessel and brought
immediate death.
The deceased was not well Fri
day and did not arise next morn
ing as early as usual, but nothing
serious was suspected and he
was working on his books in the
rear of the saloon, when death’s
sudden call came.
Mr. Bordwell was a man of
high sense of honor, charitable
but conrageous in his opinions
yet respecting the rights and
views of others. He was very
popular among the business men
of this city, with whom he had
been associated since his removal
from Jacksonport in 1890.
The deceased was 63 years of
age and leaves no known rela
tives, but friends innumerable.
Funeral services Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o’clock from St.
Paul’s church, conducted by
Dean Robottom of Little Rock.
Burial at Walnut Grove.

CHRISTMAS PARTY.
The Christmas party given by
Miss Lutie Mae Stephens at her
home on Main street Thursday
evening was a marked event in
the social annals of the younger
set.
The Christmas idea in colors and
decorations prevailed throughout
the house which seems to be fit
ted exactly for the entertaining
of young people, who enjoy play
ing and frolicking for the rooms
are large and airy, and seemed
to be just suited to the happy oc
casion, where all hearts were
happy and filled with the joyous
Christmas.
At ten o’clock a luncheon that
was substantial as well as
elegant, was served by the young
hostess’ mother and sister, and
consisted of pressed chicken
sandwiches, chicken salad, pick
els, olives, cake and hot chocol
ate.
The guest list numbered:
Misses Franchell Hooker, Hazel
Jones, Bertha Hirsch, Beatrice
McHugh, Janie Pettet, Hortense

PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.
The Christmas spirit ever old
and always new, is upon us, and
no time in the history of New
port social season has there been
a more joyous yuletide week
when an era of good feeling and
good cheer dominated the social
world of Newport. Numbers of
entertainments have been given
and planned along most elabor
ate lines, when it seems that
each vied with the other in ele
gance of service and unbounded
hospitality and all have been en
joyed to the fullest extent by
those who have been so fortun
ate as to be included in any of
the guest lists. •
But decidedly the handsomest
affair in the social calendar, that
has been given during the season,
was on Friday afternoon when
the resourceful hostesses, Mrs.
0. D. Watson and Mrs. B. W.
Stainback, threw open the hos
! pitable home of the former, Mrs.
Watson and entertained seventy
five guests at euchre in honor
of Miss Stephanie Fagan, of Gal-j
Weston, Texas, and Miss Lotta
Campbell, of Little Rock.
The gala decorations of Christ
mas tide were used in profusion
and garlands of Christmas bells,
boughs of mistletoe and holly,
with streamers of red and white
satin ribbon, interspersed with
red carnations made an elegant
background for the bevy of
handsomely gowned ladies pres
ent. Scores were kept by Misses
Hilda Bailey, Irma Hooker,
Anna Dutton and Janie Irby.
The prizes, which were beauti
ful, were won by Mrs. W. W.
McMinn, whose gift was a cut
glass nut bowl, while the guest’s
prize, a pair of silk hose, was
gl WVJit
The score cards were as un
ique as could be imagined, hav
ing tied to them little snow
shoes and sleighs as souvenirs,
and the last course of the ele
gantly appointed luncheon was
frozen egg nogg served in paper
I Santa Claus.
The costumes of the receiving
party were as follows:
Miss Stephanie Fagan, laven-.
der crepe-de-chine with violet
velvet trimmings. Miss Lotta;
Campbell wore a beautiful re
ception toilette of pink net over j
pink silk, with lace trimmings.
Mrs. 0. D. Watson and Mrs. B.
W. Stainback each were hand-1
somely gowned in white cloth
costumes. Mrs. R. L. Bennett,
who also stood in the receiving
line, wore an exquisite dress of
black crepe-de-chine.

Mrs. H. J. Lewis of Hot Springs Kills

Health.
Hot Springs, Dec. 29.—Mrs.
H. J. Lewis, wife of the cashier
of the Illinois Club, committed
suicide yesterday by hanging at
her home on Dell street. She
tied a clothes line to the stairway
and jumped off. Death resulted
from strangulation. Ill health
is supposed to have prompted
the deed. Today word was re
ceived by her husband that the

Batesville has Bad Hog.
A number of people report/
having been chased by a vicious
sow in this city, which is said to
be the property of Will Hinkle.
Curry Talley stated that the hog
attacked him as he was driving
by in a vehicle, and also attack
ed the horse he was driving,
while Will Joblin reports the
same experience while riding
horseback. This vicious bru e
is a menace to the safety of the
public, and should she attack a
pedestrian, especially a woman
or child, serious results might
occur. The animal should be
put up, or the city rid of her
by the marshal. — Batesville

S. A. Gooch on Wednesday re
quested Gov. Davis to apply to
the governor of Illinois for a
requisition for J. R. Richards,

Marshal Shot Enemy.
i Helena, Dec. 28. —Walter Cal
houn, town marshal, shot and
; killed A. Sharp at Marvell, about
20 miles west of this city, this
| afternoon a few minutes before
■4 o’clock. Both were well-known
'citizens of Marvell. The killing
was the result of an old grudge
between the men. Several
: months ago Calhoun, in the ca
pacity of town marshal, had oc
casion to arrest a white man of
the town, and the arrest was re
sented by Sharp, who was an
acquaintance of the man arrest
ed. At that time he had a dif
ficulty with Calhoun, and is al
leged to have made threats
against him.
