from Evening Shade to
BateSville.
ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT.
Soon after we assumed
control of the RECORD we
read a communication from
the Batesville Guard over
the nom de plume of "Agri-
cola," in which the improve
ment of the road leading
from Batesville to Evening
S h ad e was discussed.
After some reflection and
investigation we decided
to give the matter some at.
tention and to that end the
RECORD suggested that the
people at Evening Shade
and Batesville and all who
were interested between the
two places meet at some
convenient time and place
and organize a good road
league" This suggestion
was at once seconded by the
Guard and Bee and upon
the suggestion of Mr.. G. 7.
Anderson, of Batesville, an
appointment vas made for
April l7th., 1897. On that
date a large number of citi.
zens from both Sharp and
Independence counties met
at Cave City and organized
the Evening Shade and
Batesville Road League.
(The constitution of which
is printed in another col.
umn.) This constitution
provides for the organization
of sub-leagues. (The con.
stitution for the govern
ment of b'leagucs is also
printed III another column. }
The executive committee
recommended that sub.
leagues be organized at the
following points: Bates
vile, Wells, Wilburn, May.
hue and Grishams, Hickory
Valley, Cave City, Coger
place, Maxville and Evening
Shade. The constitution
was amended at the last
meeting so as to permit each
league to work within its
own bounds. The boun.
daries Of the several leagues
arc as follows: Batesville
and Wells league united to
extend from the corporation
line of Batesville to Viii.
burns, the Wilburn league
to extend from Wilburn's
to forks OF roads below
Andrew Corners, the May.
hue, Grisham and Hickory
Valley leagues to extend
from the said cross roads to
the creek north of Hickory
Valley, the Cave City
league to extend from the
said creek to the Stewart
place, north of Cave City,
the Big Creek league at the
Coger place to extend from
the Stewart place to Edmund
Carpenters, the Maxvi!le

penter place 10 the hester
place, and the Evening
Shade league from the
Hester place to Evening
Shade,
Steps have been taken to
organize leagues at all the
above points. Subscription
papers have been and are
now being circulated and
liberal donations in money
and work are being sub
subscribed. The Hickory
Valley league has already
secured l31 days work; the
Batesville league something
over $500 in money and
labor, and the Evening
Shade league $500 in cash
and work. the Evening
Shade Milling Co. subscri-
bing 5000. This however
is only a beginning. The
Hickory Valley league went
to work this week under
the direction of Mr.. II. J.
Wilburr, who has been EN-.
ployed by the committee to
superintend the construction
of this road.
A resolution was passed
at the last general league
meeting as follows: That
as soon as so days work is
subscribed the same be re-
ported to the executive com.
mittee and as soon as this
report is received by the
committee it shall be its
duty to lay ont the work and
put it in the hands of the
road builder.
A resolution was also
passed asking the several
leagues to proceed at once
to solicit subscriptions. To
this end each league is au-
thorized to employ any one
of its members to solicit
subscriptions allowing such
party credit for his time so
employed on his subscri.
ptiol. Also any solicitor
securing the largest amount
OF work and money will be
paid as a premium SIS when
the money is paid or the
work done.
There has been a com.
mittee appointed to solicit
contributions from the Iron
Mountain railroad, in money
and tools. This committee
feels highly encouraged over
the prospects of receiving a
good donation from the sald
road and will in a few days
communicate in person with
the officials at St. Louis.
All the money secured will
be divided between the
leagues and will no doubt
be a great help to many.
1t will give employm ent TO
a number of our citizens
who are anxious to earn an
honest dollar, The COM
mittee will however pay all
cash to those who donate
labor to the Improvement of
the road and desire to con.

General.

General Daniel Fuentes- Barrios spent
several uncomfori bic hours in the Gus
tody of the Sheriff yesterday as the result
OF an order of arrest that was procured
against him by J. J. Rauer.
Since the arrival of the Guatemalan
revolutionary general a few days ago,
creditors who had claims against him be-
fore the revolution in Guatemala broke
out have been trying to get settlements,
but without avail.
Schwartz Bros, agents of President
Barrios OF Guate mala, had a claim against
the doughty general for $500, and hear
ing that he was about to leave the city
and State, placed the matter in Collector
Rauers hands with instructions to cause
his arrest
Deputy Sheriff Byington, nothing
daunted by the reputation of Fuen es-
Barrios, sought him in his room at the
Occidental, and soon had him in custody.
The revoluuonist protested vehemently
but was ANONYMOUSLY dragged TO The
Sheriff's office, where be was detained
until J. 4. Pasad0s and Charles Page fur-
n,shed bonds for his appearance in the
sum of $4,000. Fuentes- BarrIOs seemed to
think lis arrest was the result OF Central
American political inrigues, and re-
peatedly asked his Captor whether he
would be released Oh payment OF the
claim.
Tuose who are posted on Central Ameri-
can events since tuentes- BarrlOs' lnete-

a. 2. Morris Gets Twenty Four Hours
for Contempt of Court.
For changing his mind when sober, a.
P. Morris, a young man, was yesterday
morning sentenced by Judge Conlan TO
twentv-four hours in the City Prison.
Early yesterday morning, Morris while
considerably under the infuenc nce OF liquor,
told Policeman Murphy on Fourth street
that three women had roboed him OF $40
in the house at 124 Fourth street, and had
thrown him into the street
Murphy whIstled for Policeman OMeara
and thev went to the house and arrested
Nellie Worthington, Mabel Worthington
and Lille Haskins, who were pointed out
bv Morris on charges OF grand larceny
and varrancy.
Yesterday morning Morris had sobered
I'D. and he refused to swear to com
paint. He was taken into court by Po-
liceman Murphy, ana in answer to the
Judse he said the women had not stolen
the money, but he had spent it.
Il don't understand this change, said
the Judge. Il viii send you to the City
Prison for twenty-tour hours for contempt
OF court as lesson to you.
