A WOMAN NEVER LOOKS
BETTER THAN HER HAIR.
HERBICIDE
Thousands of women owe
their youthful appearance to
Newbro’s Herpicide. No matter
what may be her age, a woman
with a nice head of hair, hair
that is soft, glossy and fluffy, al
was looks younger than she is.
Herpicide makes the hair
beautiful with that sheen and
shimmer w-hich is so attractive
and alwrays indicates a healthy,
natural growth. It keeps the
1 scalp free from dandruff and the
hair from falling out.
There are remedies said to be
“just as good” but Herpicide is
“the genuine original dandruff
germ destroyer.”
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and
$1.00 sizes is sold and guaran
teed to do all that is claimed. If
you are not satisfied your money
will be refunded.

INQUEST STORY
OE THE SHOOIING
Of Robert ('. Lynch Hy Robert
Spivey Confirms Story of
Independent.
Cotton Plant. May 12.—Rob-,
er: Spivey has been acquitted of!
the killing of his step father.
Robert Lynch. last Friday
night. The coroner’' jury, com
posed of 12 white resident.- of
Monroe county exonerated Spiv
ey of ’he killing and he was dis
charged by John F. Davis, a jus
tice of the peace oT' Richland
township, Monroe county, after
a preliminary hearing.
Owing to the difficulty of get
ting information from Sauls
burg. which is just across the j
line in Monroe county, it was j
difficult to get the details of the :
shooting and this caused the eir- j
dilation of an erroneous report j
that Spivey had shot his. step-j
father at the latter’s home af- j
ter Lynch had ordered him to ;
keep away.
That Lynch, armed with a re-,
volver and a dirk, was killed
while climbing in a window of
his estranged wife's home, that
he had intended to kill Mrs. !
Lynch a few hours before, was
the evidence brought out at the 1
coroners inquest and at the pre
liminary examination.
I
Spivey was in Brinkley the
day of the killing and was not at
home when Lynch called at the
home of his estranged wife.
Justice Davis, who discharged
Robert Spivey from custody, is
the same justice who exonerat- !
ed Lynch for having killed j
Frank Kennedy on a Rock Island j
train near Saulsburg nearly two |
years ago. The second Mrs. i
Lynch and Mrs. Kennedy are |
sisters.
The testimony of Mrs. Lynch '
at the inquest was corroborated
by Dr. R. T. Gephart of Cotton
Plant, F. P. Keel, a farmer liv
ing near Mrs. Lynch’s home!
and Harriet Smith, a negro j
cook, all of whom wrhen called to ,
the scene of the shooting, found j
the circumstances surrounding
jto be as stated by Mrs. Lynch.
Mrs. Lynch Tells of Killing.
The testimony of Mrs. Lillie
Lynch. Robert Spivey’s mother,
_ - —•—,r t—ir, r-jr r=nri or rr=*r n n fr—T
was the .Mrnngot in fav<t >f
the young man. .Mrs. Lynch
testified as follows:
“My name is .Mrs. Lillie
Lynch and I live at Saulsburg.
Monroe county. 1 was at home
the night of May !t. 19Id, and
about 11 o'clock I heard Aunt
Harriet Lynch (her negro cook)
calling. I got up and went and
woke up Robert Spivey, took
him by the arm and we came out
in the hall and heard someone
raising the window of the west
room. 1 saw the form of some
one raising the west window.
Bob Spivey was just in front of
me with his gun. lie fired two
shots and someone said “Oh!”
“Mr. Lynch had been at my
home that day and went in that
room (the one where he was
killed) two times. No one was
with him. 1 have been uneasy
for the last week. He has told
me three times that 1 would not
live to ever see this suit ended
and the day he was killed he
told me it would never go K
court.”
The testimony of witnesses
who viewed the body was to the
effect that Lynch, when killed,
was wearing only an old over
coat, an undershirt, an old pair
oi trousers ana a pair oj iow
shoes over which he wore over
shoes, evidently to enable him to
move around without making
much noise. His purpose in en
tering the home of his estrang
ed wife late at night will never
be known positively, but Mrs.
Lynch firmly believes that he
had come to kill her and that
her life was saved by her son.
Lynch was divorced by his
first wife several years ago and
almost immediately he married
Mrs. Spivey. They separated
last summer and Mrs. Spivey
had filed suit for divorce and al
so to recover the money which
she alleged belonged to her.

RADICAL CHANGES
In Handling of < onvicts And
Proposes to tr\ Colorado
System ol Working
. Them On Public
Roads.
Special ' > Independent.
Little Pock, May 1". Steph
en l*rundidg< . candidate for gov
ernor, will endeavor to work
Arkansas convicts on the roads,
under the honor system now be
ing successfully used in Colora
do, if elected governor.
“I am decidedly in favor ol
making" radical changes in the
manner of handling convicts,”
stated Col. Urundidgi! while dis
cussing the care and mainten
ance of convicts in Little R ck
Sunday night. “The Governor
of Colorado recentIvpicked from
the penitentiary of that state
convicts whom the officials be
lieved could be trusted, and in
whose bosoms they thought
there still remained the feeling
of honesty and honor. The mur
derers or real long term men
were not taken, but several Hun
dred convicts were picked out
and sent out on the road to build
good ones and make themselves*
useful to the state, iri twenty
months these men njave con
structed highways that\would
otherwise have cost $265^00.
Less than two per cent of
convicts attempted to escape. \
They felt they were w’orking for
the good of the state, and that
they were building something
they and their families would be
benefit ted by.
“All convicts in Arkansas
could not be worked like that. I
don’t believe you could trust the
negro convicts, but you could
take from the 200 white men in
the state prison, 100 or 125 for
the purpose of trying the Colo
rado system in Arkansas, and I
firmly believe that it will work
satisfactorily here. Let these
m!en build good roads and the
negroes remain on the farm to
pay the expenses of those work
ing on the roads. I believe the
penitentiary can be made self
sustaining, and at the same time
have as many as 150 or 200 men
working on the roads at all
times.”
