LATTER DAY SAINTS.

R. s. McAllister and P. H. McArthur elders of the Church of Jesus Christ 0t the Latter Day Saints, better known as MormOns, came to Newport Tues day morning and are preparing to hold services the latter part of the week in some building or upon the streets.
 They will be joined here by two other representatives of the Utah church, and hope to secure permission from the city authorities for holding their meetings.
 The Mormons travel without scrip or purse and depend upon the charity of the people for support, as they re- ceive no salaries from the mother church, though they sell upon their travels small tracts, which net them little expense money.

DROWNED IN THE BLACK.

A young fellow named Taylor of TucEerman was drowned in the Black River several miles above Elgin Fri day morning, and though the river was dredged at that point Friday, his body had not been found Saturday morn ing.
 He was attempting to swim the river with his clothes on, feat which it seems he had often performed, and was within a few yards of the other bank, when an under current pulled him under, his body never reappear- ing.
 The Quickstep came upon the scene half an hour after the accident, when parties were trying to locate the corpse.
 The deceased was married only a few months ago and was a man of about 28 years of age.

ONLY $70O SHORT.

The subscriptions to the right-of- way fund for the Morning Star Rail road are gradually approaching the $10,o00 mark, the amount necessary to cover right-of way purchases through this city.
 The sum of S9, 300 has been subscrib- ed, and the committee in charge hope to report the desired amount and close their work Friday of this week. The labor and length of time which it has taken to secure SC small sum, when the ensuing advantages are considered, can hardly be reflected upon with pride or credit, yet the ultimate suc- cess of the efforts of some of our wide awake citizens must become 8 matter of eOngratulation.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT.

The merchants of this city should ex- ercise care and precaution inthe lock ing up of their stores, as petty bur glars are making attempts very fre- quently of late to break into such houses.
 These marauders visited MT. H. G. Drummond's store Saturday night but were unable to effect an entrance. They were probably scared away by some one passing or mistaken noise.
 At the rear door on Sunday morn ing was found the sharp piece of iron made for pump, that had been used to pry the lower part of the door open.
 The officers of the law should strive diligently to put an end to these petty burglaries, which are becoming en- tirely too bold and frequent.

CONTRACTORS ACCEPT.
MeIang 6, Cowan Accept Offer of Newport Oil Prospecting Com pany.-Another Meeting
 of the Board.

"YOur wire received-We accept" was the wording of a telegram re- ceived Tuesday evening by T. J. Gregg, secretary of the Newport Oil Prospecting Company from Melang & Cowan, of Joplin, Missouri, which firm had, as stated in Tuesdays INDIE PENDENT, been offered $60O0 to bore a hole 2000 feet in depth at a point to be decided upon in this section.
 The acceptance of these contractors was received with much satisfaction by the directors of the company, who believe the Joplin firm to be expert and reliable drillers, by whom the work will be pushed forward with the least possible delay.
 On Wednesday morning at the of flee of L. Minor, a meeting of the di- rectorate was held and upon motion of L. Minor, seconded by c. G. Henry, the advisory board was empowered and authorized to employ the services of an attorney in drawing up con- tract with Nelang &o Cowan.
 Owing to the absence of J. w. Grubbs, the name of J. R. Cox was substituted upon the committee to select sites and secure options upon desirable points for boring.

MRS. RANDY BRUISED.

Mrs. R. w. Randy and son, Lockard, almost miraculously escaped fatal in juries in a runaway Tuesday morning, which, however, resulted quite seri- onsly for Mrs. Randy.
 The two entered the buggy, to which was attached the family horse, and when Mrs. Randy attempted to raise her parasol, the horse, becoming frightened, started running south on Main Street. When even with the colored Methodist church Lockard was thrown out by the rearing and plung ing of the horse, the dash board hay ing already given away. His mother soon lost her balance and fell to the ground, striking the back of her head upon brick and cutting a gash which has given her great pain, but is not considered dangerous. Lockard es- capped with some body bruises.
 The horse jumped the fence after the occupants fell out, and the rig stopped him. The buggy was unin- jured, nor is the horse any the worse for the runaway.

CONTINUES TO CAVE. Unless Something is Done, Water Supply May Be Cut Of-Other
 Damage Threatened.

The condition of the right bank of White River at this point threatens serious damage to the water pipes which supply this city, the ferry and the Pond x Decker mill, unless steps are taken soon to prevent the caving in that is now going on.
 The chief engineer for Arkansas under the river and harbor depart ment of the government, R. T. Me GregOr of Little Rock, has been writ ten and urged to make an inspection of the condition here, believing that such a visit would result in the gov ernment taking up the work of pro- tecting and securing this bank
 Beginning at the ferry landing and extending nearly to the pump house, then to the Pond & Decker mill, the bank is cracking and caving into the river. Already two trees have top pied over where the Orlando has been accustomed to land, and a third one seems on the brink of falling. Its To- cation is such that when it falls it will be upon the suction pipe of the water company and would doubtless soon prevent it's operation.
 The river channel is upon this side at this bend, and the fallen trees will interfere with steamboat traffic.
 Every rise followed by drouth pro- duces this caving in, which, in the opinion of engineers, could be pre- vented by driving willows into the bank at the river's edge, that would take root and further grading down the high bank to a gradual slope.

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE.
Insane Man Stood Still Upon The Track Until Struck By An
 Approaching Train.

A man by the name of Maxfeld, evidently insane, but about whom there is little known, was struck by the Batesville local Monday morning between Mooretield and Sulphur Rock, while standing upon the track, refuS- ing to move though the engine 8creeched a prolonged alarm.
 The accident occurred upon a heavy down grade, where it was impossible to stop the train in time. The man upon the track showed not the least disposition to move, though he saw his threatened danger. When the cow catcher had struck him, throwing him from the track, breaking and mashing one of his limbs, but leaving his body otherwise uninjured, he only said that "fIe was doing the Masters will"
 MaXfield is bachelor recluSe, who has lived near Charlotte and farmed for a living. Though he has been pc culiar, this is the first instance in which he has shown himself so inca pablo of caring for himself.
 Should he recover, which is prob- able, he will likely be sent to the asy- lum for the insane.

BOWEN'S BURCLARIZED.

The store of Otto M. Bowen was broken into Thursday night, the cash drawer footed and about $25 worth of groceries removed to unknown quar- ters.
 The burglars gained admittance by prying open the stair way door at the rear, then removed a window which gave them entrance to the back part of the lower floor, which opened into the front of the establishmentinw in which the groceries were stored.
 The lights were turned out to pre- vent passers-by froaa, seeing the in- truders at their work. The cash draw CT contained only $1.25 which was ta- ken, but the safe, which contained a good sized amount of cash, as MT. Bowen had neglected to make a de- pOsit that afternoon, was not disturb ed, luckily for the proprietor. About S25 worth of tobacco, cigars and fancy groceries were taken, the parties leaving no clues as to their identity or direction of escape, upon which the officers may work up case.

WILLIAM RILEY BALES.

William Riley Bales died at his home on Laurel street Friday morning, June 18th, of peritonetis, after a sickness of one weeks duration, which did not show dangerous symptoms until the last twelve hours previous to his death.
 Thursday evening, he began sinking rapidly and failed to rally under the treatment of physicians, the end talk ing place at 5:30 Friday morning.
 The deceased was born and raised in Independence county near Bates, vile, where he lived until two years ago, when he came to this city, first working at the compress and then la ter employed as bookkeeper for W. B. Chastain, which position he held at the time of his death.
 He was married on June ', 1891, to Miss Maud Agner, which union was blessed with one child, Daisy, both mother and daughter surviving this kind and loving husband and father.
 MT. Bales had one brother James and one sister Mrs. Sarah Marshall, who together with his father and mother live near Cave City, to which point his body was taken Saturday morning on the Batesville train for interment, the funeral services to be conducted by Rev. z. T. Bennett.
 The deceased was born on May P, 1874, was member of the Methodist church, citizen whose private char acter was above reproach. He was respected by his fellowtownsmen and and loved by his associates, who sym pathize deeply with the wife and daughter in the loss of their most be- loved.
