FRANK ADAMS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Case of Long Standing Finally
Results in Acquittal of
The Accused
The ease of the State against
Frank Adams, a well known .young
man of this place, who was charg
ed with seduction, came to a close
in the circuit court at Batesville
Saturday, and resulted in a verdict
of not guilty.
This was one of the most vigor
ously contested cases tried at this
term of the court and attracted
considerable attention owing tc
w the prominence of the parties in
volved.
The prosecuting witness in the
case was Miss Birdie Redditt,
formerly an attractive young
teacher and a leader in the social
circles of Oil Trough Bottom. She
is a daughter of Rev. D. L. Red
ditt, formerly an active minister
of the Baptist church in this coun
ty, who moved to Casa several
years ago. Adams was also a
young teacher at the time the
* trouble occured in 1899, and is a
son of R. C. Adams, a prominent
citizen of Oil Trough. Adams
disappeared when the charge was
brought against him and was
gone until about two years ago,
when he returned. The case first
came up for trial at the last term
of the circuit court, but resulted
in a mistrial, the jury being unable
to aggree.
There were a large number of
witnesses in the case and both
sides were represented by a strong
array of legal talent. Adams was
represented by Attorneys Me
Caleb, Casey and Cole, of Bates
ville, and Race of Harrison, wdiile
Prosecuting Attorney Jeffery was
ably assisted by Attorneys Scrog
gins, of Hot Springs, and Moore
■& Coleman of Batesville.
TWIST TIGERS TAIL
Stuttgart, April 13 —The Anti
Saloon League has made things

Grant Moore and Green Baugh
man, negroes, were all found guil

UNKNOWN T1AN KILLED
Bradford, April 13.—Yesterday
morning, while a freight (rain was
«!in a siding at Bradford, some un
known man walked in front of it
as fast mail train No. 7 was pasing
and was struck by the mail train
and killed instantly. The coroner's
inquest failed to reveal the dead
man's identity. He was about 35
years old, of light complexion,
wore a blue overshirt, dark coat
and trousers. He was clean-shaven
and had no money or valuables.
GROW I NO PEA-11 AY
One of Marion county’s most
successful upland farmers in giv
ing his experience in growing peas
for hay, says that he has obtained
more satisfactory results by sow
ing about a half bushel of peas,
together with the same quanity of
corn, per acre than by doubling
the quanity of peas alone. The
corn fodder alone makes line for
age and the two together makes a
combination easily saved and put
away and one that stock greatly
i relishes.—Yellville Echo.

SOME FAMILY HISTORY
The Soverign Visitor says the
following are actual facts as to
answers given in the medical ex
amination of parties applying for
insurance in the Woodmen of the
World:
Mother died in infancy.
An uncle died of cancer on his
mother’s side.
Father went to bed feeling well
and the next morning woke up
dead.
Grandfather died suddenly at
age of 103. Up to this time he
bid fair to reach a ripe old age.
Applicant does not know any
thing about maternal posterity
except that they died at an ad
vanced age.
Applicant does know cause of
mother’s death but states that she
fully recovered from her last ill
ness.
Applicant has never been fatally
sick.
Father died suddenly: nothing
serious.
Applicant’s brother who was an
infant died when he was a mere
child.
Grandfather died from gun shot
wound caused by an arrow, shot
by an Indian.
Applicant’s fraternal parents
died when he was a child.
Mother’s last illness was caused
from chronic rheumatism, but she
was cured before death.
BRAIN LEAKS.
(From Bryan’s Commoner:)
For each gossiping tongue there
are at least two gossipy ears.
The worst troubles we have are
those we deliberately search for.
The nmn who never meets temp
tations hasn’t much to his credit.
One flower in a sick room is
better than a rose garden on a
grave.
Politics will be clean just as
soon as enough clean men take
hold of it.
The man who is always just go
ing to is usually paying big in
terest to the man who already has.
The government’s pure food ex
pert say that whiskey in bottles is
the best. It is only best as long
as it remains in the bottles.
There are three steps in life
that mark epochs—when the baby
takes the first step across the room,
when the son takes his first step
into busines life, and when the
man, his work finished, steps into
the great beyond.
THE PATIENT FAHER
The teamsters strikes for shorter
hours, the miner wants more pay,
the mason and carpenter demand
an eight-hour day. The section
hand throws up his job, the fac
tories are closed, and everybody
else, it seems, to work is indispos
ed. But still the farmer never
kicks, he plants and sows and
plows; he works till dark and then
goes home and milks ten head of
cows. Me never asks for shorter
hours, he stops not to complain,
he’s up at four o’clock next day
and milks the cows again; then to
the field he hurries forth and sings
his merry tune and wonders what
the price of hogs is going to be
next June.—Ex.
