FRIDAY, At-GUST 12, 1904,
BIG SURPLUS IN TREASURY.
The Arkansas Gazette of Tues
day says Sheriff Fred Sc lmder of
Pulaski county y esterday made his
final settlement with the state for
taxes of 190.3, paying in a balance
of $111,225.3s. With the receipt
of this amount, the total amount
of cash in the state treasury at the
close of business yesterday was
the largest ever known in the his
tory of the state. The total amount
of cash in the treasury last night
■was $1,762,349.30. The largest
amount ever in the treasury atone
time heretofore was about $1,755,
000 on August 7, 1903. There are
still live counties which have not
j-et made final settlement with the
state. They are Sebastian, Scott,
Sharp, Logan and Randolph and it
is expected that the collections of
these counties will aggregate about
$100,000. When the collections
are all deposited the amount in the
treasury will he considerably
more than $100,oo0 over the larg
est amount ever in the treasury at
one time before.
Diabolical Crime at Barfield.
Osceola, Ark., August 10. A
while man named Matthews, em
ployed on the dredge boat operat
ed in the vicinity of Barfield, was
murdered Tuesday night, lie was
shot, three times.
The police force at once institut
ed a search for the murderers, and
as n result Clarence Moder and
Henry Hunter are now behind tin*
bars of the county jail. No one
saw the shooting and the prisoners
were arrested purely on suspicion
and circumstantial evidence.
The circumstances surrounding
the murder are rather mysterious.
There is no doubt that Matthews
was murdered for what money he
was supposed to have on his pur
son. The killing had no eye wit
ness, however, and it will likely
be extremely difficult to tix the
responsibility.
SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY.
At the ball frame Monday after
noon Deputy Marshal (ieo. Pearce
■was c-ut across the left side with a
knife by Dutfy Williams.
From the best information at
hand it seems that W illiams was
not behaving in the proper man
ner and when cautioned by lVarce
to lie have himself, grew angry and
made light. During the scutHe
Mr. Pearce was slashed across the
left side with ft knife, the blade
entering his side about tin* lower!
parts of the ribs and making an j
incision about four inches long. I
Pearce was carried to the office of j
Pis. Pascoc & Poe, where his
wounds were dressed, llis condi-j
tion is not considered dangerous.
Williams was arrested and gave
bond in the sum of $300 for his
appearance Saturday.

The trouble which occurred
down at the baseball park Monday
afternoon is deeply regretted by
all, and no blame whatever attach
es to the managers of the park.
Messrs. Mayness and Edgar did I
their best to furnish the people of!
the town and surrounding country
some good, clean games. They
have played none but the best
teams and have endea vored to give
the people good, clean entertain
ment. d'he matter is as much de
plored by them as any one, and
seems to have been one of those
unfortunate occurrences which
could not be prevented.
A SCOTCH SUPERSTITION.
One Who Stops Ringing of Glasswan
Saves a Human Life.
“In a recent visit I paid to friends
abroad I came across a superstition
that was new to me, and I haven’t
found anyone who ever heard of it
in America,” said Howard 13. Tem
ple, of St. Luuis, to a Chicago report
er. “One day at dinner somebody
hit a glass which began the ringing
jingling noise that is familiar when
glassware is struck, and immediately
another guest covered the piece with
his hands so a* to mullle the sound.
Everyone present said: ‘That’s right,
stop the ringing/ 1 found out on in
quiring that when one causes this
ringing of a glass piece to cease it
saves a human life from drowning
How the notion originated 1 can't
explain, but these people 1 speak oi
were intelligent and not generally
given to cherishing absurd notions
it Li said to be a Scotch superstition,
but none of my friends could throw
light on its origin.”
