the grave and fired three volleys,
the last salute to the dead comrade
who for four years stemmed the
leaden hail of war had returned
home to be ruthlessly slain by a
red hand ed assassin.
Then by command of their com
mander the squad filed to the left
behind the band and marched from
the cemetery.
The concourse of people present
was simply immense; nothing of the
kind has ever called SO many peo-
pie together here before.
Mrs. Reagan has had more OF
this kind of affection than usually
falls to the lot Of womankind.
Her father was murdered for his
money and his body thrown into
Ohio River; now she is widowed by
the hand of an assassin.
The family have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire communi.

From Monett, Mo, to Bald Knob, Ark.

st. Louis Republic.
Judge H. Ward Hick, of Mon EFT,
Mo-, is in the city in the interest
of a new railroad, which is to be
built between Monett and Bald
Knob, Ark. The movement was
started only short time ago and
has for its object the penetration of
the rich mineral and timber lands
in Southwestern Missouri and
Northwestern Arkansas. Judge
Hicks speaks enthusiastically over
the project. "The road is almost a
necessity and will be paying in
stitution from the start. 1t will
penetrate section of rich mineral
and timber land 200 miles square,
which has never yet had an outlet.
The road is to run from Monet to
Bald Knob intersecting the Iron
Mountain at that point. The citi-
zens of Monett are backing the
project to a man, and Cassville,
down nearer the Arkansas line, has
offered $4,000 cash bonus to have
the road built through that point,
and in addition offers twelve miles
OF right Of way and to build depots
and freight yards. They appointed
committee of citizens to act with
the committee which Monette had
appointed to push the project, and
at meeting just held Col. A. J.
Grayson and myself were appoint
ed a committee to secure the right
of way from Monet to Bald Knob
The distance is 200 miles and there
will have to be very little grading
done. 1t will not cost more than
halt as much to construct road
over the proposed route as it would
to build either north or south
through that region. The breaks
in the bluffs Of White River are
just in the right place tor our road.
The capital to build the road will
come mostly from the out side,
100000 coming from St. Louis
parties, some OF them are real
estate men. Springfield and Kan
sas City parties are interested, also
some Memphis capitalists. The
section which the road will pene-
trate has no other outlet, and is a
rich country, too. in mineral, tim
Der and agriculture properties.
Another thing about the road is
that it will form the connecting
link of direct line from Kansas
City to Memphis. Work will be-
gin as soon as the right of way is
secured and that will be in few
week"

His Preliminary Examination
Set for 10 O'cleek Today

FORMER Trssbss sst~ss" Reagan and Hsrst.-Tss
Fsnsrei
Our town was thrown into a fever
OF excitement when runner came
into town at s o'clock Tuesday
morning and reported to the citi-
zens that Harry Reagan, one of our
druggists, who lives one and half
miles east OF town, was ambushed
and shot ia the Stevens lane, one
mile east of town. The citizens
turned out en- mass and repaired to
the scene. eager Stevens who lives
about one hundred yards from the
place Of the assassination was the
first on the scene; he had seen Mr..
Reagan pass and heard the report
OF the gun that did the deadly
work. Mr.. Reagan never spoke.
Drs. Wade, Harbert and Fon-
dren made an examination of the
wounds which showed that over
one hundred shot had penetrated
his body all striking him in the
breast and near tn heart.
Justice Ramsey held an inquest
over the dead body and the jury
rendered verdict that Harry Rea-
gan came to his death by gun shot
wound from the hands of an un-
known party.
HIS remains were then removed
from the dreadful scene back to- his
residence where he was dressed and
cared for by the many friends. A
team was Immediately sent to
Berryvile where neat casket was
procured for his burial.
The assassin was evidently we'll
acquainted with Reagan's habit and
laid his scheme With the purpose of
making the work of death sure.
He had concealed himselfinside the
field not to exceed fifteen steps from
where Reagan would pass on his
way to his store. The work was
evidently done with double barrel
shot-gu and both barrels fred at
once.
No opinion has yet been express
ed as to who the assassin is, and
what motive would impel him to
commit such dastardly deed, and
we can not, at this writing, even
hazard an opinion. Reagan has
had some trouble of 4 serious nature
but not recently. He, however, in
going to and from his home carried
shotgun, which he said was only
to protect him as he went early and
late from his store to his home, and
always carried some money with
him. He was, nevertheless, quiet
citizen in general and the communi-
ty are thrown into gloom over the
terrible deed.

He has since been heavily guarded

ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS
Meet with the Tariff Reform Club of
Green Forest last Friday.

fOItSU ldSU Ilud1s
In response to an invitation ex-
tended the various Democrat candi-
dates for county Offices and other
leading Democrats of the county by
the Tariff Reform Club of this place,
Democrats from all parts of the
country met with the club and held
a rousing meeting last Friday.
Speeches were mado by the fol-
lowing gentlemen:
Hon. w. R. Phillips being called
for responded in short speech and
lined out state policy for the dem
ocracy of Arkansas.
Horace G. Poynor was next call
ed. He made some pointed remarks 8
earnestly urging thorough organl-
zation in the party; says it the only
thing essential to success.
Hon. J. 2. Fancher, responding
to call, in his usual eloquent man.
ner, had something good to say
about the true principles OF Dem
ocracy. His remarks were quite
pleasing and impressive.
Next came Joe Naples congrat-
ulating the Democrats Of Hickory
township. Says they are the lead.
ers of the county in organization.
He denounced the "Billlon Dollar
Congress" and '"The Cursed McKin
lev Bill" and said something about
tin plate, glass etc.
J. II. Jackson was next called.
He also complimented Hickory
township on their thorough organ
ization.
Resp onding to call A. NJ. Webb
stated he was somewhat fatigued
and, excused himself from making
any talk on the occasion.
J. S. Shipman, "the good looking
candidate" Responding to call came
forward and advocated strict organ
ization OF the party; says success
depends upon it. He said further
he did not wish to tramp on the
feelings of the Alliance people, but
says "come let US reason together
}. D. HALEY Of the Progress re
sponded to call and announced that
he was no candidate, and heartily
indorsed what had been said.
Spencer J. Morris then came for
ward spreading like q hen trying to
cover hundred eggs, with his "no-
tariff, .,mocks" on, and said he was no
candidate but might have been had
he thought he could "get there"
He says he is working tor his men
now tor the nomination, but after
the primary he will work for "every
mothers son OF the nominees"

Phillips and W. G. Russell Will
represent the State in the trial.
Hurst is a rustic looking fellow,
about twenty-five snd unmarried.
He lives with Tom Plummer, far
Nor about one mile east of town.
He and Mr. Reagan have heen in
volved in some trouble regarding
Mr.. Reagan's married son who was
caught pilfering here in town
about two months ago. Hurst
acted as traitor in the matter. 1t
was understood with young Rea-
gan that he (HursD was to assist
him in the work, and he was fol-
lowing Hursts advice in the mat
ter when Hurst betrayed him and
he was caught in the act.
Mr.. Reagan condemned his son
for the act and positively refused to
GO his bail when he was about to
be committed to jail, but that strong
love that is exercised by a father
for his son still existed, and this act
of Huret caused everything but good
feelings between young Hurst and
the father. They had almost come
to blows several times, and it is
stated that threats had been made
by both parties; it is the prevailing
| opinion that it was Hurst's threats
that caused Mr.. Reagan to carry
his gun.
When the officers approached
Hurst and told him he was wanted
for the murder OF Reagan, he re-
sponded "alright" but did not talk
freely about it, but earnestly pro-
claimed his innocence. He was
approached yesterday morning by
a TRIBUNE representative and ask
ed if he would talk concerning the
matter. He said wait until after
the trial.
THE FUNERAL.
! The funeral servises of Harry
Reagan were had on Tuesdey even
ing between 6 and I o'clock P. NJ.
at the Picken's cemetery, one half
mile north of town.
The funeral procession consisting
Of the family Of tho deceased, and
friends in wagons, buggies, on
no rseback and afoot started from
his residence at about 8 o'clock P.
NJ. At Mr.. Mocters place, one-half
mile east of town, they were met by
the Green Forest Cornet Band and
firing squad of old soldiers under
the command of Mr.. Charles Chaun-
cy. At this place the squad took
charge OF the body ard with slow
and measured tread to the slow
sweet strains of an appropriate fu-
neral march the coltege moved on
through town to the cemetery.
Arriving at the cemetery the
casket containing the body was ia
ken from the vehickle and carried
to the side of the open grave.
The friends and all present were
then permitted to look upon the
face of the murdered man for tho
last time. To describe this last
scene and do tho subject justice
would impoverish the English Ian
guage. The deep and powerful
grict Of the poor woman that had
in a moment been widowed by one
blow from a red-handed assassin
was terrible to behold The grief
of the children that by the same
fend had been orphaned would
have brous hit sorrow to the heart
and tears from even the eyes of a
stone; and the demon that wrought
that unholy deed of death, had he
been present with the heart of oven
a brute beast, could have received
no greater punishment (even being
cast into Hades) than this heart
rendering scene and the cries of the
bereaved afforded. After viewing
the corpse for perhaps thirty min
utes the casket was lowered into the

JAY GOULD'S WEALTH.
Counting his Securities For Effect on
the Market.

the Market.
"How much is Jay Gould worth?
I'm sure don't know. Perhaps he
could tell you if he wanted to, but
| don't believe that anybody els,
could-not even the brokers who
have acted for him for years.
1t was an old Wall street man
who spoke, says the New York
Herald-one ofthe great number
who once had money, but who now
have none; one of those men whose
experiences in the financial whirl
have been varied and exciting; one
of the mahY who expect to be rich
again, to again own fast horses and
costly bric-a-brac, to again negotiate
in thous sands, who may, indeed, re-
trieve themselves, and one Of those
who, over social glass, invaribly
become reminiscent.
''But | can tell YOU he went on,
"of something that may give you an
idea of the extent of his possessions
now. Some years ago he was heav-
lily long Of the stock market. At
the same time the impression had
in some way gone abroad that he
was in hole for money. The in
preston was so strong, although as
you will see there was absolutely y no
foundation for it, that he and his
brokers were seriously embarrass-
ed. 1t was impossible to get rid of
his stocks. tvery time the market
showed /. little strength and some
were offered, down it would go, and
to 90 and hold it the stocks would
have to be bought again. There
seemed to be general agreement
ali over the country that at last an
opportunity had como to squeeze
Mr.. Gould.
ut was apparent that something
must be done to remove the i'm
presslon, aDd this was what was
done. One of Mr.. Gould's most
important workers-he's dead now
poor chap-and capitalist who
was interested with him, caused the
announcement to be made that they
had been appointed a committee to
inspect Mr. Gould's securities and
ascertain his exact financial condi-
ton. 1t wasn't stated by whom
they had been appointed and: OF
course, their relationship with
Mr.. Gould was not generally
known.
"The interest in their inv esti iga-
tions was widespread among specu-
lators and brokers. The result was
announced by the broker. He
stated that he and the capitalist had
visited Mr. Gould's Office, and that
Mr.. Gould had displayed all his Sc
curities. They had, he said, court
ed over 100000 worth ofthem,
actual market value, and had g.t t
tired and stopped when they were
plenty more left. The effect of
this was that the public concluded
that Mr.. Gould was practically inn
pregnable. and he got out OF the
deal he was in at a profit.
"But the broker told me more
about it some time before he died.
He said that as a matter of fact they
had counted seventy-fve millions
worth of securities and that there
were more left. And all of them
were J. Gould's actual property,
made out in his name, and bearing
no Endorsements whatever, which
would show that he had not bor-
rowed them. Now, that was sever
al years ago. The prices of the Sc
curities of some of the corporations
in which he is known to have held
his intere ests have advanced from

WYTHEvHLE, June 2s.-[Speciall-
For two or three years now we have
had the warmest weather of the sum-
mer in June and this year will hardly
prove an exception, as the last ten days
have been about as warm as this climate
admits of. a wind and rainstorm yes
terday afternoon brought relief and this
morning the air blows fresh and pure
and cool, coming to us straight from
lofty mountain tops and through shady
hooks and passes.
The wind on yesterday blew down the
oats and corn to some extent, but the
corn is small enough yet to right itself
and the oats will do so partially. so
that the damage will not amount to
much. This section is blessed in it's
crops so far. Tho wheat, which is being
harvested, is unusually fine, the hay
crop excellent, oats good and corn
promising.
Our more progressive farmers have
recently been turning their attention to
raising fine horses and they ought to
feel much encouraged by the sale made
IN the last few days by James II. Nc
Gavocle, OF Fort Chiswell, near Max
Meadows, in Washington City. Three
Jacobite colts were sold by him to Mr..
Da y, of race horse fame, for $1,000 in
money, and fine brood mare. The
three colts each made half mile in
less than so seconds. They have been
in tho hands of Bradshaw. who has
been training them for several months.
Mr. McGavccle has given an option on
on his brood mare Jacqueline, of the
same stock, for 80 900.
Those who can read the signs of the
times, see in the near future a lively
demand for iron and other ores which
will bring mineral land to tho front
again. There is considera BILE pros
pecting" going on in the Sou tn west
which will probably bear fruit in big
sales soon.
