NEAR FATAL FIGHT
AT FOURTH PICNIC
Paul Hogue and Claude Milligan
Clash at Celebration and Hogue
is Beaten up With Knucks
Paul Hogue of this place was
seriously injured last Saturday
when he and Claud Milligan be
came involved in a difficuly at a
picnic near the mouth of Straw
berry on Black river.
It is not known here just how
the trouble arose but they became
involved in a dispute which led to
blows and it is said that Milligan
used a pair of brass knucks, or
something of a similar nature,
striking Hogue on the head and
inflicting a severe wound. After
Hogue was down, Milligan is said
to have got down upon him and
beat him most brutally about the
head and face, inflicting a num
ber of very serious wounds.
It was at first reported that
Hogue’s injuries were of such a
serious nature that he could not
recover, but later reports indicate
that his wounds are not necessari
ly fatal and it is thought that he
will be able to be brought home
in a few days.
Milligan escaped and at last ac
counts had not been captured.
MRS. DUVALL DEAD
Mrs. Edith Duvall, wife of Will
Duvall, a prominent business man
of Sulphur Rock, died at the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
Adams, at Oil Trough, late Thurs
day evening, after a prolonged
illness of lung trouble.
Mr. and Mrs. Duvall formerly
lived in Newark but moved to
Sulphur Rock a little more than a
year ago.
She was stricken while in the
bloom of young womanhood, and
all the care and loving attention
that skilled physicians and an
anxious household could devise
and apply for her assistance was
brought into use but the relentless
malady slowly but surely consum
ed her young life, and after a
struggle of months, the sufferer’s
spirit took its flight to that home
the Christian helieves is the fulfill
ment of life everlasting.
Her cheerful, beautiful, helpful
life; her devotion as mother, wife
and daughter; her kindness to
everybody, will linger as a fragrant
memory in the home which her
presence brightened and w'hich
death has darkened.
From the lonely husband and
motherless little daughter she
leaves behind, much has been
taken.
It is only those who have gone
down into the valley of suffering
and stood for months by the side
of a loved one as hope after hope
dropped away, as petals from a
fading flower, know' that such
anguish cannot find solace even in
the tenderest words of human
sympathy.
The remains were brought to
Newark for burial, and Saturday
at noon, on the Nation’s birthday,
the last sad rites were performed
and her body committed to Mother
Earth. Funeral services were
conducted by Revs. J. M. Harrison

STRIKES EMPLOYER
WITH IRON WEDGE
Geo. L. Green Victim of Assault by
Eli Brittian Who Was Cutting
Timber For Green’s Mill
Geo. L. Green, the well known
sawmill man, and Eli Biittian.who
was cutting timber for Green, be
came involved in a dispute over
some timber Monday and Brittian
struck Green with an iron wedge,
inflicting two very painful wounds.
The difficulty occurred near
Black river in Logan township
where Brittian was cutting tim
ber. Brittian claims that Green
was advancing on him in a threat
ening manner when he picked up
a couple of iron wedges lying near
and threw them at Green. One of
the wedges struck Green just be
low the arm-pit and the other
struck him on the side of the head.
The wedge which struck Green
on the head inflicted a rather ser
ious wound, requiring medical at
tention, seven stitches being neces
sary to close up the wound. Green
was taken to Tuckerman, where
he is making headquarters, and
late reports indicate that he is im
proving nicely.

RAILROAD HOSPITAL
DEATH RATE IS LOW
, -.
Little Rock Institution of the Iron
Mountain Railroad Makes
Good Showing
Of the more than 2,000 patients
treated at the Iron Mountain hos
pital in Little Rock during the
^ year ending June 30, less than one
out of every hundred died, accord
ing to the annual statement of
the institution. The report made
by the hospital department of the
railroad gives Dr. W. F. Smith,
division surgeon for the Iron
Mountain, in charge of the Little
Rock hospital, a death rate of nine
tenths of 1 per cent, which is con
sidered very low.
A total of 2,254 patients was
treated at the railroad hospital
during the year, and of this num
ber only 21 died. Dr. Smith’s re
cord for the previous year, when
his death rate was 1.31, was the
best made by any of the four gen
eral hospitals maintained by the
entire system.
BANK PAYS DIVIDEND
At the semi-annual meeting of
the officers and directors of the
First National Bank of Newark,
held a few days ago, the regular
semi-annual dividend of five per
cent was paid the stockholders
and $1,000 was passed to the
bank’s surplus fund.
The First National has always
' enjoyed the full confidence of the
public and its business shows a
steady gain. A comparison of its
deposits shows a net gain of more
than $10,000 during the past year.
Its deposits July 7, 1913, were
$49,136 37, and on July 7, 1914, its
deposits were $59,457.45. The
statement of condition on June
30, as called for by the treasury
department, shows deposits of
$50,864.62. Its net gain in deposits
since June 30, amount to $8,592.83.
The First National is one of the
most ably and conservatively man
aged banks in the State and its
steady growth is the natural re
sult of its good business methods.
