the drag. If it were not so sim
ple, or if it were patented so that
slick-tongued agents could go

everybody would want one. The

BROCK GETS 10 YEARS
Jackson County Man on Second
Trial Pleads Guilty to Mur
der in Second Degree
Newport, Feb. 12. Dave Brock,
convicted of murder in the fust
degree and sentenced to hang,
who secured a new trial in the
Supreme Court, pleaded guilty to
murder in the second degree, in
the circuit court here today and
received a sentence of 10 year:,
hard labor in the state peniten
tiary, his term to date from July
11, 1911. Judge Jeffery, in sen
tencing Brock, told the condemn
ed man that the evidence in the
case warranted a verdict of mur
der in the first degree, but the
inability to secure the attendance
of important witnesses warranted
the state in accepting the reduced
penalty, for under the sentence
imposed, under the parole law,
Brock will have two years and
nine months further time to serve
in the state prison.
The defendant is a weak man
physically and may never outlive
even this term.
He was taken to the peniten
tiary this afternoon by Sheriff
Neal.

bell of Pocahontas, candidate for

that he will be the next Congress
man to represent this district. Mr.
Campbell has many ardent ad
mirers down here who are work
ing day and night, feeling confi
dent that he is the man to go to
Washington.—DeValls Bluff
