—
Sulphur Rock Man Kills Telegraph
Operator at Hoxie and Bare
ly Escapes Lynching.
Frank Browning, a citizen of
Sulphur Rock, shot and instantly
killed T. W. Midkiff, telegraph
operator for the Frisco and Iron
Mountain railroads at Hoxie, !
about two o’clock Thursday even
ing of last week.
Browning went into the tele
graph office at 11:30 a. rn. and I
tiled a message to Dexter, Mo., at
the time asking Midkiff about
when an answer might be expect
ed. Midkiff replied about 4 or 5
o’clock. Browning then left the j
office, but returned about two 1
o’clock and asked if the answer
had yet been received. It is al
leged that when he was informed
that none had come he began to
abuse Midkiff in a violent manner.
Midkiff ordered him out of the
office, and, backing out, Browning
shot Midkiff through the head,
killing him instantly. By long
tenure in the railroad service Mid
kiff became widely known by the
j public at large, among whom, on
account of his affable manners, he
had hosts of friends.
Excitement over the tragedy
was very intense for some time,
and it was feared that Browning
would be lynched, but he was re-j
moved to Jonesboro for safekeep- !

OLTEM SHEELEY.
Oltem Sheeley passed from this |
life .January 1, 190<». He was a;
young man of 21 years, and was I
liked by all who knew him. He
had a good father and mother, both
members of the Christian church.
The bereaved family have the
| sympathy of the entire commun
I ity.
I would that you were by me now to
draw the sheet aside,
And see how pure tiie look lie wore
the moment when he died.
The sorrow that had been t'iveii him
had left its weary trace,
As "twere the shadow of tha cross up
on his pallid face.

TOWN LOSES A GOOD HAN.
Fred 1>. Whiting came up from |
Tillar Thursday night and has
spent the week here closing out
his business preparatory to mov
ing everything to Tillar, where he
will consolidate the business with
his store at that place. The Jour
nal regrets very much to see him
leave Newark, as he is one of the
| best business men in town and has
done much to bring a class of
trade here that has heretofore j
i been allowed to go to other
i places.
LOCAL BREAKS THE RECORD.
It seems that the train service on
all railroads has been somewhat de
moralized for some time, but it
remained for the local on this road
to break the record (which it can
always he depended upon to do
when the proper time comes) and
it did so Wednesday. It is due
i here going west at 12:55 p. m. and
it arrived next morning at 7:40,
i IN hours and 45 minutes late.
