TO PREVENT TAX-DODGING
Hinkle’s Bill Will Enable Equali
zation Boards to Remedy
This Growing Evil.
Senator John A. Hinkle of In
dependence county, introduced a
bill which has passed in the senate
authorizing equalization boards to
sommon witnesses under oath and
to send for papers and books of ac
count, in determining the amount
of personal property and other
property owned in their counties.
In discussing the measure Senator
Hinkle said:
“1 have felt for several years
that the state needed an amend
ment to the present laws along
this line. I have personally
known of a great many instances
of so-called ’tax-dogging’ where
wealthy men failed to give in
their property for taxation. This
has become a crying evil in many
communities all over the country.
With these increased powers the
equalization boards will be en
abled to secure proof and to have
much property assessed that now
entirely escapes taxation. This is
the purpose of the bill.”

SAFE BLOWN TO PIECES.
DeValls Bluff, March 10.—The
ltock Island depot at this place
was entered by burglars this morn
ing about 1 o'clock and the safe
belonging to the railroad company
was blown to pieces. Several sus
picious looking characters have
been hanging around town for sev
eral days, and it is thought that
some of these are the guilty per
sons. Evidently the entrance in
to and the destruction of the safe
was the work of experts, as sev
eral things indicate that. But lit
tle money was taken, only about
$45 and this belonged to an
employ of the company.

riYSTERY PARTLY CLEARED.
Russellville, March 10.—The
body of Thomas Ragsdale, aged
20 years, of Silex, was found in a
pool near Owens ford Monday.
He had disappeared a week before,
after attending a murder trial at
Luthersville, Johnson county and
foul play was feared. When found
however, there was no evidence of
violence, and the coroner’s jury
returned a verdict of death from
drowning.

NEGHOES KILL A WHITE MAN
Well-to-do Young Farmer Near
Dumas Shot to Death, and
Brother Wounded.
Dumas, Ark., March ii Great
excitement prevails in the country
a few miles west of here over a
tragedy which occurred yesterday
evening. The offenders are ne
groes and the victims are whit©
men, and if the fugitives can be
caught there will doubtless be a
double lynching.
Walter Collins and Will Green,
negroes, shot and killed .lames R.
Watson .Jr. at his home about sev
en miles west of here, in Lincoln
county, late yesterday evening.
They seriously wounded at the
same time Walker Watson, broth
er of the slain man, by stabbing
him.
The particulars at hand indicate
that the negroes had gone to the
farm to move off a negro farm
hand onto their own place. The
Watson brothers had previously
attached for debt the property of
the farm hand and the officers had
nailed up the door of the house in
which the goods were situated.
Collins and Green came in and
without asking any leave proceed
ed to break through the door,
which the officers had nailed up.
The Watson brothers interfered,
with the result as stated.
The slayers left their mules
and made tracks for the swamps
and forests and no trace of them
has been discovered at this writing.
There are several searching par
ties out and bloodhounds have
been sent for.
James li. Watson, deceased, was
; a comparatively young1 man and a
well-to-do farmer. He is surviv
ed by his wife and one little child
about three years old. Walker
■ Watson, his brother, is seriously
wounded, though he may recover.

; Your Heart
, May Be Weak. One
I Person in Four Has
, a Weak Heart.
, One of the purest signs of a weak
heart is shortness of breath after exercise.
Your heart is not able to pump the
blood fast enough to your lungs.
Some of the other symptoms of Heart*
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back

Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles;
‘ Cold Feet or Hands.
i No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
« poor circulation means weak lungs,
stomach, liver, kidneys, etc.
If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble,
. begin taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.
