Croton Landing, April 1S.-The first
bloodshed as the outcome Of the strike
at the Croton dam was the life-blood
Of Sergt. Robert Douglass, of the
Eleventh separate company OF Mount
Vernon. who was shot dead by an un-
known assassin while he was relieving
guard at $50 o'clock last night. The
widest excitement prevailed through
out the camp as soon as the news of
the assassination spread to the differ
ent tents. and the soldiers are frantic
over the crime. The point where the
sergeant fell is known as Post 10.
which was in charge of Corporal Nc
DOWell. 1t is situated on top of the
hill near the little city, where armed
strikers We're seen drilling or march
ing about early yesterday morning
brandishing rifles and shOtguns. This
spot is high over the huge pile of ma
sonry. and from it one can command a
view Of the country for miles on each
side up and down the Croton valley.
Douglass was talking to Corporal Nc
Dowell and the other members of the
guard, when he suddenly clapped his
nand to his stomach and said: Lord,
boys, Tn shot, and Immediately fell
to the ground. 1t was pitch dark at
he time. but Mcdowell and the 9th
ers fired Il volley into clump of
bushes near by without hitting any
one. No one saw the flash or heard
the sound of the shot which kllieo
Douglass, and it was a most mysterl-
BUS affair." Meanwhile the lnen picked
I'D the fallen sergeant and carried him
down the hill on a stretcher, but as
soon as they reached Douglass tent
The poor fellow died without saying a
word. Lieut.. Glover, with Il squad or
men, went up to the hilltop, where
,hey made Il thorough search. but
failed to find any person up there. Inc
guards were called in and concentrated

and finding that no effort was going to
be made to work on the dam, uls-
persed. When the troops arrived at
the Bowery a strange sight met their
ewes. About 200 men were on the
broad sidewalks. Flags We're hanging
from the windows and crowded ON the
steps. About twenty Italians with
mandolins and guitars We're seated on
the walk, playing Il lively tune. Inc
militia men pitched their camp inside

JOpliniteS On A New Tack.

The habit of people whose anxiety
to prove their side of case, carries
them to point where it becomes
amusing to spectators, is beginning
to show itself in the Joplinite, in
treating the subject of the Arkansas
field from their point of view.
Originally, the plant poured by
them into the ear of strangers, was
to the effect, that the Arkansas
country was no good at all for min
eral. Next: 1t was changed to the
solemn asseyeration, that the miner
al consisted only, of Surface ore"
Lately, however, it has taken
another turn or two, of which one
is, that the country carries only a
disseminated ore. From all of
which it is to be seen, that specious-
ness enters into the deal they are
giving to the public, upon the sub
iect of the Arkansas zinc field.
\ The latest slam attempted, that of
a disseminated ore characterizing
the country, brings out the regret,
that it is true, only in part, For
while disseminated ore appears to
back up out-eroppings of carbonate
ore, wherever it has been gone after,
this is a condition that applies only
to localities carrying regular ore
levels. And the fact is that the ores
of the Arkansas field occur in all
forms, and under all conditions, pos
sible to all other zine formations;
with a line or two in its favor, Of
rare ores of zinc, seen nowhere else,
the world over. -
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-09-01
Banking Law.

The Bank depositors of Arkansas
demand Banking Law and Bank
Examiner, and the representatives
who stand tor election should see
that they get them. Oklahoma feels
the effect of not having such a law.
Only few DAYS ago a Bank failed
at Kinghsher that has been in
trembling condition for the past two
years. Such failures call attention
to the awsgoverning Banks. What
the deposition wants to know of the
Banker is, are your Bank loans
worth soc on the dollar or 100
cents? How much capital you have
and of what does it consist? Will
the Real Estate sell for what it is
valued at, Are the overdrafts good
or bad? Are your notes taken up
when due? Is there any Real Estate
in your Bills Receivable account.
Have the officers put up their pri,
vate checks to help swell the depos-
its and loans? A statement not
backed up by some one not connect
eel with the Bank is of no value.
The ambitious Banker ia order to
be the leader is liable to make loans
on Real Estate or mining properties
that are not good. He is likely to
loan when his better Judgment tells
him he has enough out. He will
permit lot of stale notes to be cat
ried or extended and otherwise neg
lects the profitable end of his bust
ness. The Banking Laws of Arkan-
sas today will allow man to start
Bank if he has $50 to pay the Rev.
enue Collector, and they will not
permit a person to buy and sell
notes unless he does pay this
revenue. We are in favor of a Bank
Examiner appointed by the Govern
or and paid by the state, his respon-
sibility to equal that of the State
Treasurer. He should be paid about
$500 per year and allowed say
$500 for expenses. He should exam
inc each Bank at least once a year
and have power to call for state
ments from them not less than four
times a year; this will ceStainly
guard the interest of the depositor,
The capital stock to be paid up in
full and not less than $4,000. The
Real Estate account not to exceed
one-fourth of the capital and to be
appraised by the Bank Examiner.
A penalty should be fixed for an off
Ger to borrow money as such with
out the endorsement of the other
officers, or to Iut in his private
check for the purpose of swelling the
deposits and loans. Repeal the pres
ent usury law and substitute one
that will bring cheap money TO the
state. A law compelling the County
Treasurer to deposit all moneys in
Banks designated by the County
Levying Court, Banks to give bond
it necessary, he to pay out all mon
eyS by check. thew to be his vouch.
ers. This will prevent speculation
and the keeping ofpublic funds in I'M
safe places.
