TIMBER MAN KILLS
TRADER AT GUION
Men, Who Are Said to Have Been
Drinking, Were Alone at
The Time
Guion, Feb. 14.—DelbertH.Tate,
a trader living at Guion, was shot
and instantly killed at a late hour
last night in the north part of town
by William Goodin, a timbermun.
The men were alone at the time
and are said to have both been
drinking. Tate was taking Goodin
home. Goodin assigns no cause for
the deed except that he had to kill
Tate in self-defense. He shot him
three times at close range with a
revolver, the shots taking effect in
his right arm, neck and breast.
The two men had been together
all evening and are said to have
been drinking at different places
around towm. They had always
been friends and there wras no
apparent difficulty between them
last night.
Goodin was bound over to
await the action of the Grand
Jury, which meets at the next
term of the Izard Circuit Court.
Goodin is married and has sev
eral children. Tate was 25 years
old, and married, with one child.
When the news of his death was
broken to his young wife, her
grief was pitiful.

INDORSES RANEY
This paper hopes T. J. Raney of
Newark will be elected our next
railroad commissioner. He is one
of the best men in North Arkan
sas, and a gentleman in every
respect.—Williford News.
LABORING MEN
ARE FOR RANEY
Prominent Labor Leader of Little
Rock Writes Personal Letter
Indorsing His Record
W. I). Jackson, chairman of the
State Legislative Hoard of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, of Little Rock, who is one of
the most prominent men in union
labor circles in Arkansas, has
written Senator T. J. Raney of
this place the following letter, un
der date of January 7, 1914.
Mr. Thomas J. Raney
Dear Sir and Friend. -I see by
the papers that you are a candi
date for Railroad Commissioner
from your district.
1 take this opportunity of wish
ing you a successful campaign, for
l believe in standing by those who
have stood by us when we were
in need of a friend.
I want to say that no one ap
preciates more than I do your loy
alty to the laboring man, and your
services while you was Senator, to
the laboring people was unquali
fiedly A. No l,and I hope that the
good people of your district will
stand as loyally by you in your
present campaign as you did by
them when you was in the legisla
ture.
Again wishing you a successful
campaign, I beg to remain
Your friend,
W. D Jackson.
There is possibly no man in the
State who stands higher among
the laboring people than Mr. Jack
son. This is shown by the fact that
he has been chosen as chairman of
the Legislative Hoard to look af
ter the interests of the labor or
ganization during each session of
the legislature for a number of
years.
He has kept in close touch with
the record of each member of the
legislature and knows how they
have voted on all matters affect
ing not only the union labor or
ganization but the laboring people
generally.
Jackson’s indorsement means
that the laboring people generally
are strong for Raney and that he
will get practically the unanimous
vote of organized labor and its
friends.

the Slate University has prepared

BOYS ARRESTED
MAKE ESCAPE
Claude and Willie Jones Charged
With Robbing Store at
Tuckerman
Claude and Willie Jones were
arrested by Constable G. W. Com
er Wednesday morning, charged
with having stolen a lot of watch
es, raz >rs, knives, etc., from S. L.
Bogle's store at Tuckerman.
The boys were arrested at Paro
quet and were brought to Newark
and placed in the calaboose to re
main until time for the night train
when the officers expected to take
them to Tuckerman for prelimi
nary trial.
The boys were handcuffed to
gether and placed in the calaboose
but when the officers went to get
them just before train time they
had escaped. The youngest boy
slipped the handcuffs and togeth
er they managed to pry the iron
bars over the window open far
enough to slip through and make
their escape.
When the boys were arrested
several watches and razors were
found in their possession which
they were unable to satisfactorily
account for. City Marshall W. F.
Gire came over from Tuckerman
and positively identified a part of
the goods.
Mr. Bogle’s store was robbed
about two weeks ago, and about
that time the Jones boys, who
were away, returned home bring
ing a lot of jewelry, knives and
razors, and the officers have been
quietly working on the case in an
effort to secure a clue that would
justify their arrest.
The boys are about 15 and 17
years old, respectively, and have
the reputation of being pretty
tough boys.

THREE GOOD PAPERS
The three best papers which
reach this office are the Walnut
Ridge Times - Dispatch, Sharp
County Record and Newark Jour-,
nal, and neither of them can agree
I with the other in politics. The
fact is Lindsey, Coger and Craig
| are natural born newspaper men;
! they give their entire time to the
j business, and the people w'here
they live give them a liberal sup
j port. Where these conditions ob
i tain there is bound to be found a
I good live paper.- Williford News^
NO HUNTING ALLOWED

We have posted our pasture
lands, southeast of Newark, and

LAWRENCE POLITICAL NOTES
Candidates For Prosecutor Open
Campaign at Imboden
Imboden, Feb. 17.—Yes, we all
like Raney over here and he is go
ing to get a good vote. Let old In
dependence give him every vote
that is cast—he is worthy of it—
and her sister counties will help
her honor one of her noble and re
liable sons. In good old Lawrence
it seems to be running this way:
Raney here, Raney there, Raney
yonder, and Raney everywhere.
And your correspondent dips into
Randolph and Sharp once in awhile
and it is Raney there. Go it Tom,
I have known you since you were
a little red-headed, freckled fac d
orphan boy, not as good looking
as you are today.
The boys who want to be honor
ed with the prosecuting attorney
ship were here last night and
made good speeches. Mr. Gray be
ing detained by the illness of some
one of his family, his candidacy
was respectfully presented by
Judge Doyle who was chairman
of the meeting. Your scribe can
not tell who is who, for they all
have a right good following.
Kirby is going to let “Cotton
Top” know he is in the race. Billy
Oldfield is O.K. for his place again.
Democrat.
CAN T BEAT OLDFIELD
There seems to be a desire on
the part of a few people in the
Second Congressional District,
to induce someone to get in and
stay in the race for congress.
The latest effort appears to be
directed at Tom Campbell of
Pocahontas and one paper states
that he will very likely make the
race The Times is noj political
prophet but it does seem that af
ter such men as have heretofore
been in the race and refused to
stand hitched—withdrew- that
Mr. Campbell and his advisors
would consider the probability
of defeating Mr. Oldfield so dim
and distant that they would not
give it a second thought.—Mel
bourne Times.
MADE A HIT
The 20th Century Glee Club has
made a hit in this locality, having
appeared at the Y. M. C. A., and
the First Presbyterian church.
They certainly are great entertain
ers and deserve the commendation
which they have received. —Ft.
Leavenworth (Kan.) Times.
The 20th Century Glee Club
will give an entertainment in
Newark Wednesday night,Feb. 26.
GREAT REVIVAL AT
METHODIST CHURCH
Remarkable Meeting Being Held by
Pastor Umsted and Rev. G. T.
Tatum of Jonesboro
The revival meeting being con
ducted at the Methodist church by
Pastor M. B. Umsted and Rev. G.
T. Tatum continues to grow in
interest and promises to be one of
the greatest levivals ever held in
Newark.
A special service for men was
held last Sunday afternoon and
the house was crowded; not a va
cant seat left Rev. Tatum preach
ed a very effective sermon and it
was very apparent that the entire
congregation was deeply touched.
The interest has been growing
with every service, and although
the building is the largest in town
it will not accomodate the crowrds.
There has been a large number
of conversions and reclamations
and the entire community has
been deeply stirred as a result of
the meeting.
The members of all the churches
in town are joining in the meeting
and a number of persons have
united writh the Baptist church as
a result of the meeting.
The meeting will continue for
several days and Rev. Tatum has
announced that another special
service for men will be held next
Sunday afternoon.
Daily prayer services are being
held at the homes of the various
members of the churches each af
ternoon.
The effects of the meeting have
become far-reaching and it is pro
nounced by many to be one of the
greatest religious revivals ever
held in Newrark.
