PLEAD GUILTY AND
TOOK LOWEST FINE.
--
Henry Winland, a young farm
hand who has been working on
I the Kinman, Mantooth and other
places in Oil Trough, was
brought before Esquire Guy
Smith Friday morning charged
with destroying the glass insula
tors by which the wires are at
tached to the poles of the line of
the Farmers Telephone Com
pany. Though the lowest fine
j was $200 he declared that he
wanted no lawyers and entered a
plea of guilty. The court was
merciful and imposed the mini
mum penalty, which Winland
must serve out at 75 cents a day
on the county farm.
Winland, it seems, was not
only guilty of repeatedly break
ing these insulators by shots
from his pistol, but would return
from Newport at night and fire
his gun near every farm house
he passed. He sought the repu
tation of desperado and found
the penalty.
LIGHTNING STRIKES
FOUR PEOPLE.
« -
Rogers, Sept. 22.—Misses Liz
zie Davis and Dean K;ng and
Messrs. Chub Watkins and John
Anderson, all of this place, were
struck by lightning yesterday af
ternoon and seriously, if not fa
tally, injured. They are em
ployes at the fruit evaporator,
and were in the dryer at the
time the storm came up, and
went to the furnace room for
safety.
They had been there a very
short time when the building was
struck by lightning. Two other
young men were knocked down,
but not seriously injured. The
clothing of the two young ladies
was set on fire, and had it not
been for immediate assistance
they would have been burned
alive. As it was, they sustained
serious injuries and probably will
not recover. The property was
only slightly damaged.
COTTER WILL
GET NEW SHOPS.
It is stated that railroad shops
will be located at Cotter, says the
Little Rock Democrat, within a
a very short time. It is said
that this is the outcome of a
great deal of overtime which is
being made at that place by en
gineers and others who are com
pelled to do their own work.
Master Mechanic Machin, who
has charge of that work, could
not be seen today, but it is cer
tain that the shop will be estab
lished at once. Mr. Machin will
name the foreman, and it is pos
sible that some of the machinists
w’ho^re at present employed in
the Baring Cross shops will be
sent there. This will not affect
the number of employes here,
but will make a place for a few
more there.
