apparently nappy home. During the
granite cutters strike last year he was
secretary OF the Stone Workers union.
but lately had snly little work. He has
frequently shown signs OF mental dis
order, and last Saturday, when read
ing the details OF the Bergen tragedy,
expressed a hope that he should never
repeat such an act.
Sunday afternoon, while his wife
was preparing dinner. he suddenly
rushed into the house, and seizing his
wife by the throat threw her on the
floor, where be began to strangle her.
His brother. John jumped 10 his sis

in pulling the frenzied man away but
hardly had he done so when James,
snatching up butcher knife, attacked
him ferociously. cutting a deep cash in
his arm and throwing him 10 the Ioor.
1t Is quite probable that he would have
completed his mad work had not his
wife braVely come TO the rescue with

her husbands neck with such "A sharp
twist that he was forced to leave his

Conway to Buy Light Plant

At the meeting of the town coun- cil on last Tuesday night an ordi- nance was adopted to lay off the town of Conway into one improve ment district for the purpose of pur- chasing, owning and operating an electric light plant for lighting the streets and furnishing light to in dividuals.
 Members of the town council and many other citizens believe that it will be economy to buy and oper- ate light plant. The plant now located here would probably be purchased. It has been stated that the plant now being operated can be bought at cost of construction with proper deduction for depre- citation.
 There are several towns in Ark ausas operating their lighting plants. Some of these have been communicated with and report that it is saving of money to the towns to own, and operate their own plants,

Halloween Party.

One of the most delightful en- tertainments of the season was the Halloween party on Wednesday night at the residence of MT. and Mrs. E. w. Can't.
 The entertainment was given by Misses Iva Walthall and Cora San defur. All kinds of Halloween games were indulged in and noth. ing was left undone by the young ladies and Mir. and Mrs. Can't foi the pleasure of the guests.
 The house was beautifully deco rated in Halloween style and lighted by candles, shining from grotesque pumpkin faces, which cast weirdness over everything.
 The Halloween witch was pres ent and foretold the futures of all sending some away happier and others sadder than when they came.
 It was at a very late hour when the guests reluctantly departed fol their homes, all declaring it ar event long to be remembered.
