USED ALLEGED STOLEN ORDERS
TO ADVANTAGE
Arkansan Said to Have Victimized Local
Concern With Bogus Orders.
Charged with having stolen a
book of Pacific express money or
ders and with having victimized1
Geo. T. Broadnax, of Memphis, to
the extent of a $100 diamond with
two of the forged orders, Louis
Leigh, formerly editor of the
Herald, Strong, Ark., is under ar
rest at Forrest City.
It is alleged that Leigh went to
the express office at Garner, Ark.,
just before a train arrived. lie
asked the agent for an express I
money order for 75 cents. The I
agent was filling out this blank
when the train arrived and he was '
obliged to hurry to the platform.
It is charged that Leigh then took '
possession of the book of orders.
The accused is alleged to have
filled out two of the blanks for $50 ; ’
each, the maximum allowed on
this form, and sent them to the;
Geo. Brodnax corporation with a ';
Wynne, where he was given a pre
liminary hearing and held in $1,000
bonds, in default of which he was
committed to the jail at Forrest
City.- News Scimitar.
The above criminal visited Me
Crorv but our people were too
wise for him aud refused to cash
his bogus orders. Among those
he tried to swindle were Messrs.
H. Arnof and E. T. Wherry, two
of our leading merchants. Leigh
received a registered package here,
through the mails under the name
of H. A. Patterson, One of our
home boys, Luther Jones, who is
employed by the railroad company
here played quite an active part in
the arrest of the above criminal.
Jones went over to Wynne on a
freight train and as he arrived at
the depot he saw Leigh boarding
the West bound passenger train
No. 203 and knowing that Leigh
should be caught, he also got on.
the train with Leigh, following
him to Fair Oaks. When the
train stopped Jones ran into the
depot aud informed the agent there,
if whom Leigh had secured some
HO.00 on a forged order, that the
man who swindled him out of the
company’s $40.00 was on the train,
rhe agent ran for lus- gnu, but
■.onId not get to train in time to
^et the intruder of the law.
Jones being determined that
Leigh should be caught, got back
m the train aud followed him to
VlcCrorv, telling the agent to tele
phone the agent at McCrory, the
lext stop to have an officer meet
he train aud make the arrest,
fhe agent obeyed Jones’ instruc
ions but the McCrory officer could
lot get to the train before it had

request that he be sent a $10
diamond through the opeu mai
The company complied. It i
charged that Leigh went to Si
Louis and pawned the diamond fo
$40. Detective W. S. Lawless
who was placed in charge c
the ease, has located the diamon
in St. Louis.
Leigh is accused of having sen
two of the orders to a Chicago fin
to secure another diamond. I
this he failed as his request t
have the gem sent through tli
:>pen mail aroused suspicion an
mused an investigation of the va
Idity of the orders. A fifth orde

Leigh was arrested June 27, a
New Augusta, and was taken t

s 1 lie would follow Leigh untill an

r As the train departed with the
criminal and the young detective,
f the McCrory agent did as Jones
I had told him to do—telephoned

MeCrory before Sept. 15th, can
boast of her new railroad from
this place to Jelks. It’s a sure
thing. The charter will be asked
for in a few days.
Another improvement in onr
post-office is the new mail route
lately started from here on July 1st
via Plunkett to Eight Mile. The
star route will be known as No. 2
and is 16 miles long. Mr. I. P.
Phillips will act as carrier and will
make the round trip 6 times a week.
The MeCrory people have at last
opened their eyes and are now
making ready to build a tramway
from MeCrory to Jelks. The
Business Men’s League met Thurs
day night July 5th., and from
what was said and done, MeCrory
will have a new railroad before the
15th of Sept. This is the best
move towards progress that the
citizens have made lately. The
stock needed will be subscribed at
home. No out-side-of-town cap
ital needed. Boost MeCrory and
the new railroad.
Work on the new depot is pro
gressing fine. The carpenter
work is all completed and the
painters will soon have their work
on same finished. We learn that
ihe Missouri Pacific intend putting
lown two more side-tracts, one for
each cotton gin. This will be a
rreal help to the ginners asto ship
ping their cotton and cotton seed
when bv they will save dravage ex
penses of having same hauled to
the old side-track which is of no
use to them.

At a regular meeting of the
town council Monday night the
following business was transacted:
A new board of health was elected
as follows: H. T. Raney, Pres.,
Dr. Howell and Dr. H. P. Hargis,
physicians and Messrs. C. Hailey
and F. Lewis, citizens. Mr. J. p.
Taylor was elected as night mar
shal. He will go on his beat from
7:30 p. m., to 4:30 a. m.
We are not given to boasting
but we are proud of the farmer
boys of this vicinity. They are.
with rare exceptions, a healthy,
intelligent and happy class of
young men. We feel like taking
our hat clear off when we meet
them on our streets, and no elass
is more welcomed to our office.
Too many boys leave the farm
where they would have made sub
stantial and good citizens, and go
to the city where only one in a
thousand succeed in life’s battle.
There are fartners who fairly
drive their boys away. There is
no excuse fpr this. The farmer
boy is entitled to his vacations, to
several relaxations, his visits to the
city, good books, magazines and
his home paper. To the observing
one it is to be seen that the old
farm is the best place in the
world for the average young man
and never fails to bring a happier
and more useful life than the city.
Young men, you who till the
soil and earn your bread by the
sweat of your brow,we are proud of
you ; our latchstring is always out
to you and you will always have a
friend in this paper. Come and
see us and give us the news from
your neighborhood.
