An Appeal for Aid from Cyclone Sufferers of Southwestern Arkansas-Thousand Reported Destitute.

An Appeal for Aid from Cyclone Sufferers of Southwestern Arkansas Reported Destitute.
 It is stated that half has not been told of the damage inflicted by cyclones and storms in the southwestern part of the state. Ex-Mayor Black of Hope was in Little Rock the other day on a mission of seeking aid for the home less people; and it is stated that If aid does not come at once starvation will overtakc many. "The public has no idea of the storm and its results" said Mir. Black. Ut extends over a territory of 15 to 90 miles in length, and from 15 to 20 in breadth, beginning in the northern part of How ard county and running through How ard, Hampstead, Nevada and Lafayette counties, in many sections destroying houses, fences and crippling many peo- pie. As far as known three were killed and about twenty injured.
 ''In a large portion of this territory crops are utterly obliterated, no signs of vegetation being left on farms. Corn and provisions were swept away from many places leaving the people wholly destitute, Aside from destroying crops, farms are left worthless. and some planters say they will abandon their places. Hail in many sections fell to depth of from ten to fifteen inches"
 AN APPEAL.
 Mir. Black presented the following appeal to merchants:
 TO THE BUSINESS MEN OF LITTLE ROCK AND ST LOUISA most disastrous hail and rain storm and cycloae passed across Hampstead county on the evening of May 30 destroying many tens Of thousands of dollars worth of property and leaving many families houseless and homeless. Buildings have been destroyed and fencing covering an area of 300 square miles blown down and scattered to the -four winds all the large timber uprooted and forming a net work of obstruction in every direction. the roads blockaded, stock killed and the crops of corn and oats and cotton, not only destroyed by hail and water, but actually blown away and obliterated many of the fields being as bare as the streets. We have helped them in the past and shall continue to do so. but the necessities for immediate relief are beyond our ability and means, and we feel constrained to ask help from abroad Fully 10000 people are sufferers by the disaster. while from 5000 to 5eo0 of that number are in absolute destituton and must have pres ani and prompt assistance
 We do our business principally with St. Louis and Little Rock and ask them 10 helr our distressed citizens. Money. corn, four meal meat and such neeessaries most thank fully received and appreciated. and we pledge our honor that it shall be worthily dispensed.

 The financial interests of this city sus- tain a heavy loss. the business community loses one of it's ablest leaders and the social circles to which he belonged one Of their worthiest patrons. He was in all things a good citizen, and to his untiring efforts Little Rock is largely indebted for many of the public en- terprises to which our citizens point with pride. When the crash came he was made re ceiver of the bank tthe First national. and again applied himself to the task of winding up the affairs of the concern. He was relieved from his duty by the comptroller of the currency. who saw fit to appoint another to carry out the work he had begun In the midst of his duties, in the prime of his usefulness. he was withdrawn from an undertaking wherein he had concentrated his every energy. He i'm parted all the information he had gleaned to his successor and the performance of those duties brought him face to face with the end. He did not feel the chill hand of death when on the last day he dragged himself wearily from his desk and was driven to his home, but even then he was doomed man.

 BATEsvuI.E. Ark, June 6.-Rev. k. $. Deener. pastor of the Methools' church here. and who was arrested at Newport Saturday night on a charge or forgery. had his preliminary hearing m the mayors court yesterday. When the time for trial arrived the prisoner was brought from the jail, where he had spent the night and asked to have the case transferred to Sulphur Rock, town distant about 12 miles, on the plea that he could not obtain justice Tn Batesville. where for almost three years he ministered to the spiritual wants of one of the largest Methodist congrega- tions in the state.
 THE FoRGERIEs
 he stands accused of are warehouse re- ceipts for 174 bales of cotton at Mari anna when he did not have bale. On this forged receipt he borrowed from the bank of Batesville several thousand dollars. Some time after the bank called for the insurance on the cotton and he promptly produced policy, also forged. Finally the bank called for settlement. and other forged col lateral was furnished, and sums in various amounts borrowed. amounting to about SS.000. To Col. James Ruther- ford, vice-president of the Peoples bank, he presented letter, now said to be d forgery, from Hon. r. D. Me Culloch, congressman elect, whose home is at Marianna, in which the statement was made that the securities (also forged) presented by Deener were gilt edge. On the strength of this let ter he got Sl ,500
 4 SCHOLAR.
 Deener is man of unusual brilliancy. He is graduate of Vanderbilt univer- sity class of 1885: is cousin of Bishop Mallelin, of the Methodist Episcopal church: has been twice elected secre- tary of the White River conference: is now president of the State Sunday school organization. and at the last meeting of the grand lodge of Knights Templar of the state was elected grand prelate. It transpires that while pastor of the church at Marianna, previous to his assignment to Batesville, he was guilty of some very shady transactions, all of which were quietly smoothed over.

Caused q Sensation.

The following dispatch was sent from Batesville to the St. Louis papers on the Sd:
 Rev K. $. Deener, pastor of the Methodist church in this city, was arrested at Newport this afternoon for forgery. The series of crimes of which he is found to be guilty is of a most startling nature. Deener was the mCst popular minister in the White River confer ence, of which he has been secretary for two years. He has also been grand prelate of the Arkansas grand lodge of Knights Templar for two years and president of the State Sunday school association. His best friends and prom inent members of this church suffer by his criminality. His plan was to put up forged notes as collateral for loans and to give mor i. gages on land and cotton he did not own.

Mcclure Still There.

Judge John Mcclure is to be contin- ued as attorney of the defunct First na- tional bank of Little Rock.
 This fact became known to few individuals in Little Rock the other day and was confirmed by Receiver Armstrong Mir. Armstrong is quoted as saying that he knew Mcclure was a republican and had learned since he recon mended his continuance to Comptroller Eckles that he was rather an objectionable one, but that as such important interests were involved, and Mcclure had been the attorney of Receiver Roots, and was thoroughly familiar with the affairs of that institution. he could not but re-. tain him in the interest of the creditors of the hank

His Marianna RecOrd.

MARIAYNA. Ark. June G.-The specu- lations of Rev. Robert Shelby Deener, now under arrest at Batesville for for gerry. are assuming the gigantic. It would seem that he made friends only for his own convenience.
 THE FIRST INKIING
 the people of Batesville had that Mir. Deener was crooked was on May f. 4 prominent merchant of Marianna was there on business, and met the presi- dent of the bank. The conversation turned on Deener, and resulted in the bank officer asking the merchants opin- ion of certain collateral they held for loans amounting to s13,OO0. The mer- chant examined them and found them to be crooked. Among the collateral was the insurance policy on l14 bales of cotton that the merchant knew Deener did not have, notes purporting to be signed by A. L. Hummer and E. A. Baxter, of Marian ma. notes of R. D. Griffis and Torn Rodgers. both of Marianna, and two signed by other parties, whose names are not remembered here. The bank official. upon learning that Deener had no cotton here. and that the notes pur- porting to be from Hummer and Bax- ter were fictitious on their face. Deener having purposely used the wrong in- itials,
 SENT FOR DEENER.
 He came. and offered to telegraph to Marianne for proof and left the bank. In short time he returned. bringing what he claimed was q telegram from parties here saying it. was all right As the telegram never passed through this office 1t is evident that Deener forged the one he showed the bank officials. Under the pressure from the bank Deener secured money from friends at Batesville and paid most of the banks claim
 ONE OF HIS LATEST VICTIMS is Mir. Rutherford, a wealthy farmer, who loaned him sl 300: another. Mr. Allen, $500. In 1890 Deener forged the names of R. D. Griffis and T. R. Harris. his father-in-law, to note for $500. which he discounted in Little Rock. Mir Gritfis knew nothing of this till the note fell due, then. as Harris was dead. he wasresponsible for it. Deener, how ever, paid him. it is said, out of insur- ance on house in Little Rock that burned shortly afterwards. In 1890 Deener forged Griffis' name to a note for something over S1O0, which he cashed at his place He paid this. and Griffis never learned of it until the president of the bank told him of ii afterward
 THE BROTHER" RACKET.
 In 1891 Deener was in Little Rock at- tending Knights Templar conclaye. There he met Geo. P. Taylor and c. NJ. Stewart, of Forest City, both brother masons, and asked them to introduce him at a bank. as he wanted to draw on this bank for slO0 They accom- panied him. and also indorsed his draft The draft was refused. and Taylor and Stewart lost $50 each on the transae- ton.
