Dawson, was run over and mangled to death by the south bound freight train. The child at tempted to cross the track in front of the engine and met her awful fate.

MT Hays granted him the courtesy and even indOrsed the check upon which the money was handed him by the bank cashier. In due course of mail the bank at this place was notified that the check was worthless MT. Hays smarting under such treatment. at once took steps to bring Perkins to justice and in casting about for the trail of the young man, run upon Deputy Sheriff Heard of Little Rock, who informed him that his game was in the City of Roses few hours previous. His capture and return to this city soon followed. His preliminary trial will come up next WpdnPs6aV
