Henry Schroeter.
The above named person, who
by the will of the people, be
came surveyor of Woodruff coun
ty, was born in Munsterberg,
Schlesien, Germany; Nov. 10th,
1868.
Early in life, he studied his
way through the free schools of
Schweidnitz, Germany, after
which, he entered the Latin Gym
nasium. At the age of 18, he en
tered the Prussian army with
prospects of promotion. After
serving one half year in the ca
pacity of a soldier, he entered the
school preparatory to an exami
nation for an officership. While
at this school, he was promoted
ensign and in Oct. 1887, he was
promoted to Second Lieutenant
of the Engineers and Pioneers of
the Prussian army. After two ;
years service in the line, he was ;
ordered to the combined school '
for Artillery and Engineer Offi- j
cers at Berlin, Prussia. During!
his stay at Berlin, he worked his
way from the back ground to the
very front rank of his class,!
which is evidenced by his excel
lent examination report. In Oct.
1892, he again entered the line:
and remained there until March,;
1893. He was next transfered to |
the reserve of the Pioneer Battal- j
ion No. 6. In a short time, he .
came in fora furlough for two
years iu oiotu tc r»nme to enjoy •
the realities of American free-1
dom in Woodruff county. Arkan
sas. At the end of this furlough !
he applied for a final discharge,'
which was granted him in 1895.
Ever since this honorable dis
charge, he has been engaged in
civil engineering and surveying
in the state of Ankansas. Any
one, who is a judge of a piece of
civil engineering and wishes to
I
see a model of perfection, will dc
well to examine the most exel
lent specimens of some farms
which he has platted. Every plal
is a speaking advertisement ol
the master hand that produced
it. At odd times, he has been en
gaged in saw-mi Ping and steam
boating. Mr. Schroeter makes
an ideal pilot.
At the last election, he was
made our surveyor and in our
opinion, the people may rely on
any line Mr. Sh roe ter may run.
One of his plats is a real picture
of the objecf platted. We hope
his every effort may be a f ragrant
rose-bud, fresh from the dewy
pavilions of paradise, and every
survey a benediction to the peo
ples’ confidence.

Elias Wells
Last week, a friend of ours
handed us a couple of locals in
regard to the deceased darky,
Elias Wells. As we had not the
time to investigate that mat
ter, we published them as they
were handed us. We are sorry
to say that there was a great in
justice done in those locals and
for that reason, we herein give
the correct version as our report
er heard it at the trial.
On last Tuesday, Elias Wells
boarded the east bound local at
New Augusta, enroute to McCro
ry, the conductor asked for his
fare and Elias, in place of drop
ping it into the conductor’s hand,
dropped it on the seat by mis
take. Thereupon, Campbell hit
him as much as to say, treat
me with respect. Then the con
ductor took his seat in the cupola.
Mr. saw Elias take out
his knife and place it back in his
pocket open. He informed one
of the brakemen to look out for
that darky, or he will kill that
conductor sure, as he had his
knife open in his pocket.
Arriving at McCrory, the con
ductor walked to the agent, Mr.
Eld wards, and was speaking to
him when Elias walked up and
asked the conductor if he didn’t
think he treated him wrong on
the train. The conductor an
swered, goon I don’t want to
chew the rag with you. There
upon, Elias said, its not all over
with and immediately sprang at
the conductor with his knife in
tending to cnt his throat. He
then fled. Campbell received a
slight wound due to protection
of a stiff double colar.
Elias was brought back and
tried and bound over for the
Grand Jury.
