MURDER AT COTTON PLANT
Cotton Plant, Aug. 24.—Poss
es are searching the White river
bottoms for Deputy Sheriff James
Hill, who is charged with having
shot and killed Jack C. Foster,
37, a well-known resident of
Cotton Plant, formerly of Gree
ley, Neb.
Eyewitnesses say Foster was
unarmed and was in his shirt
sleeves aiding in strengthening
the levee on the White river when
Hill rode up and demanded $85
which he alleged Foster owed
him. The spectators say Foster
denied owing the money and that
hot words were exchanged, after
which Hill pulled an automatic
revolver and fired. The bullet
pierced Foster's heart and he fell
dead. Hill then rode away and
disappeared in the river bottoms.
Foster is survived by his wife
and three small children. He
was contractor for the construc
tion of the dump for the Cotton
Plant and Southwestern railroad,
which is being built from this
place.
His body will be buried at
Brinkley tomorrow, funeral ar
rangements having been delayed
pending the arrival of relatives
from Greeley and Lincoln, Neb.—
Arkansas Gazette, Aug. 25.
LATER
cotton Diant, Aug. 25.—Dep
uty Sheriff Jim Hill, who shot
and killed Jack C. Foster, six
miles west of here Sunday, is at
his home in the White river bot
toms, and the officers seem per
fectly satisfied to allow him to
remain there.
Hill was seen at McClelland
yesterday and he sent a message
to the deputy sheriff here telling
the officer he could come and get
him if he wished, but on account
of the floods he said he preferred
to remain with his family until
the wafer subsided. He said he
would come in and surrender as
soon as the water begins to fall.
Relatives of Mr. Foster arrived
today from Greeley and Lincoln,
Neb., and took the body to
Brinkley for burial.—Gazette.
JOE TOLBERT DEAD
After a several months’ illness
with tuberculosis, Joe Tolbert
passed to his eternal reward Mon
day morning, Aug, 23, 1915, at
four o’clock at his home on J. H.
Crossett’s farm near DeView.
He was born Feb. 12, 1870 and
leaves a wife, a son, R. L., age
16, and a daughter, Emma, age
13, and one sister, Mrs. Bud Nes
bitt of Henrietta, Texas.
The deceased was a member in
good standing of the Methodist
Church and a member of Gum
Wood Camp No. 108, W. 0. W.
and carried $2,000.00 insurance
in the above order. The remains
were laid to rest in the Fakes
Chapel Cemetery Tuesday morn
ing, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. J. F. Rogers
of Hendrix College, under the
auspices of the local Woodmen
Camp with Council Commander
H. T. Miller in charge. About
25 members and a host of other
friends and relatives attended.
FRENCH WOMEN DO FARM WORK.
Service at the front seems to in
dispose men for work in the fields.
The military authorities of France
granted leave to a great many to
peimit them to do the work of seed
ing, They were obliged later to
ask the local authorities to send
back to. the front all men who neg
lected the work for which they were
sent home. An employment bureau
organized to recruit farm help to
replace the men at the front suc
ceeded in placing only 3,600 refu
gees from Belgium and northern
France, Spaniards, Kabyles from
Algeria, and Moors, were tried un
successfully, yet, thanks to the
women, the total wheat acreage is
11,446,256 acres against last year’s
12,986,660, of which 696,204 acres
were in invaded territory.
