DROWNED IN WHITE RIVER. Walter Harrison of Conway Meets Death While Visiting Uncle
 at Auvergne.

Walter Harrison, only son of MT. and Mrs. George Harrison of Conway, while visiting his uncle Forrest Blake ly at Auvergne, on Friday met a most sad and lamentable death.
 In company with his uncle and a companion, Jimmie Blackburn, the young man was engaged in fishing and pearling on the river just below the Stephens farm. MT. Blakely had procured a boat and was fishing out in the river i'll deep water, while the boys, neither of whom could swim, remained on the river bank, occasion ally Wading out into the shallow wa ter. Though warned by Mr. Blakely against doing so the boys each time becoming more venturesome, and it was from ventming beyond his depth in the water that the young man met his death.
 Though close at hand and seeing his danger his companion was power less. to lend assistance, likewise was it impossible for MT. Blakely, at tracted by his cries for help, to reach the scene, he being a hundred yards down stream. Yet in the presence of Will Providence who happened to be
 near the boys on the bank, was there a chance for life. Hearing the young
 mans cries for assistance he lost not
 moment in swimming to the scene and rescuing him as he came to the surface. But crazed with fear, with su
 perhuman strength the drowning boy seized him around neck and pinioned
 one arm, completely disabling him. After several intellectual attempts
 Providence finally succeeded in free ing himself but not until his strength
 had wasted and he was powerless to render the young man assistance. Walter was bright boy of fifteen years, lacking one day, his birthday to which he was looking forward with pleasureable anticipation occurring on Saturday, August 17th, and his un-e timely death is a sad blow to a fond father and mother and family. All Friday night the river was searched for the missing body but at daylight Saturday morning it had not been recovered.
 MT. and Mrs. Harrison were tele- graphed the sad news Friday evening and arrived in Newport that night, leaving Saturday morning over the Choctaw for Auvergne.

SHAWLER ASSAULTED SHELL

One of the parties in the recent rape case tried at Swifton before Justice Driver August 7th, has again brought himself before the Swifton public in the commission of an assault upon the person of A. J. Shell, a re- spected citizen of that little burg.
 Shawler was not held for trial in the case before mentioned, but doubt less would have been, had a convic- tion been secured in the assault cases against R. E. Culver and Frank East wood.
 The citizens of Swifton, it will be re- membered, took a hand in investigat- ing those charges of rape by raising a fund to assist in the prosecution in the employment of a lawyer to assist the prosecuting attorney.
 A. J. Shell was a contributor to this subscription, against all of whom ShaWler has made numerous threats, boasting that he would kill every one of them. Early Saturday morning, he came to SWifton on horseback, hitchod his animal to the tree in front of G. A. Hawkins restaurant and went into the store. He purchased a sack of bread, which he carried out and tied to the saddle, where he pro- cured loaded quirt. Upon return ing, he walked up behind Shell and without a word, began striking him over the head with the quirt. The as saulted man, though almost dazed. rushed upon his assailant throwing him down, when he was so overcome by weakness he could do nothing.
 Shawler carried Winchester upon his saddle and was not disturbed by arrest. He lives on Black river about seven miles west of Swifton.
 Shell, though badly injured, was in Newport Wednesday and gave re- porter for the INDEPENDENT the above version of the affair. While here, he swore out information, upon which Shawler will be arrested on the charge of assault with intent to murder"

TRAINS IN TWO WEEKS.

W. L. Killebrew, contractor for the extension of the Southern Missouri and Arkansas Railroad from Mingo to Poplar Bluff, Mo-, was in Newport a short while Friday morning, on his way to Batesville. In answer to an inquiry regarding the progress of his work on the s. M and A., he informed the INDEPENDENT reporter that his extension was nearing completion and trains would run into Poplar Bluff within the next two weeks. He says work on the fifty-one mile ex- tension from Poplar Bluff to Pocahon- tas, the contract for which was award ed to J. H. Mccarthy of Little Rock Tuesday, will be begun at once and pushed rapidly to completion. He also assured us that it would be only matter of time until the road would be continued to Newport, as this place was an objective point on the line of survey and would be connect ed with Pocahontas as soon as possi- ble. He is of the opinion that a little interest manifested on the part of the citizens of Newport would hasten the extension to this point

COFFINS OF VETERANS RE
 MOVED.

During the civil war, an engage ment took place near Paroquet be- tween the forces of Curtis and Street, which resulted in the death of eight Confederate soldiers, whose bodies were there inferred in collins upon the bank of the White.
 The changing of the channel in the years that have passed since the great civil conflict, brought a general cav ing in of the bank, until the collins could be seen jutting out This con- dition was brought to the attention of the local organization of Confederate veterans and c. A. Lockard was en- ployed to superintend the moving of the five coffins, which were in danger of being washed away by the next rise.
 MT. Lockard went to Paroquet with wagons Tuesday morning, where the collins containing the ashes of veter- ans were disinterred and brought to this city.

CARD OF THANKS.

In behalf of MT. G. W. Harrison and wife, who have just met with the ter rible misfortune of losing their son, by drowning in White River, I wish to express the deepest gratitude to the many friends who showed such untiring zeal in their efforts to recov- CT the body of their precious boy.
 They wish especially to thank Mes rs. Boone and Griffin for the noble and neighborly manner in which they re- fused to accept one cent of the offered reward, also Captain Warner, for his kindness in making search with his steamboat.
 May God bless all of you, friends, and spare you such misfortunes, but should He in His wisdom, see best to affiict you, may your friends rise up, as you did, to help and comfort bro ther in the hour of distress.
 May your kindness in this case be, Gas bread cast upon the waters, that shall return unto you after many days"
 Very respectfully,
 D. l.. PAISLEY.

CAMPBELL FOR NIGHTWATCH.

Pursuant to adjournment the city council met i'll session at city hall Sat urday night with mayor and all alder men present and disposed of the nightwatch question pending the &C., tion of that body.
 On roll call the office formerly held by H. c. Huffman was declared va cant, and nominations then announc- ed in order, the following being made: w. w. Campbell by West and H. c. Huffman by Mayhan.
 A vote was then taken which re- suited in the election of w. w. Camp bell by vote of 3 to 1, Alderman Mayhan casting the opposing vote. Campbell's election was formally de clared and he was instructed to as sume the duties incumbent upon the office at once.
 The INDEPENDENT is reliably in- formed that by popular subscription the business men of the city will re- tain MT. Huffman in the capacity in which he has faithfully served the town for several months, a show of appreciation which Mir. Huffman as- sures us will not be placed amiss.

zette to furnish the source of this in formation.
 Nothing has transpired recently at this end of the line to indicate that the promoters of this road mean busi- ness. The very fact that nothing has been done, has tended to discredit the announced intentions and good faith of the proposed road.
 Col. E. D. Chadick, who has had charge of the office in this city, has been in Chicago for several weeks comforting with the principal stock holders of the Morning Star. His re- turn is expected at any time, and upon his arrival, some definite infor- nation as to the intentions of the road is looked for Whether the road is to be reality, or project that was only talked of and abandoned is a matter of conjecture for the present, but the near future undoubtedly holds an announcement which means much to the expansion and prosperity of our little city.

COFFIN RELICS.

G. A. Lockhard, who was employed by the local organization of ex-Con federates, to remove the bones of vet erans buried near Paroquet during the civil war, brought them to this city late Tuesday afternoon. All ex cept the larger bones had decompos- ed and turned to dust. Upon exami- nation, two silver half dollars, black ened by tarnish, two minnie balls and three bullets were found.

usual self and no mention was made
 of his apparent restlessness of the
 night before. At the hour for open
 ing the postoffice he went after his
 mail, returning he encountered his wife who asked, "John, have you got any letters for me?" He answered "No, I got one for myself," and hand ed same to her to look at. He then
 went to his room and taking off his coat and hat and laying them on his bed, sat down to read his letter.
 When through with his letter he arose and said to Hart, his room mate, "Good- bye daddy, I'm going to leave and change my boarding house. J
 With that he passed out of the room.
 Down stairs on the rear porch sat his wife, in company with Mrs. Will kins, Miss Lillie and George Wilkins. Going down the porch he started to- ward them apparently with the inten- tion of joining them, when within five feet of them he suddenly stopped, drew 32 calibre revolver from his pocket, and began firing at his wife. The first shot went wide of it's mark, striking post over a foot above her head. His wife rose to her feet and exclaimed, 70 my God John,-' when he shot the second time, the bullet entering her right eye and passing through the back of her head, causing her death three hours later. Three more shots were directed at her, all passing wide of the mark and that her companions escaped serious injury is indeed miraculous. EXhausting the chambers of his revolver in the fusil- ade at his wife, he ran at the appear ance of Mrs. Teter on the porch into the back yard, where reloading the revolver he fired two shots in an at tempt to take his own life, one strik- ing him just above the right ear. while the other entered the back of his head, which rendered him sense less for period of five or ten minutes, after which he recovered conscious ness, talked to Sheriff Bandy, asking for his revolver to complete the deed.
 He then crawled upon the porch, and was soon conveyed to the city hall,
 where Dr. Willis dressed his wounds, and while yet alive, all chances for recovery are against him.
 Doctors were summoned for the woman, but she was beyond medical skill.
 When taken in custody by Sheriff Randy, Bailey delivered to him two letters previously written, one to P. F. Teter and one to his mother at Lit | tie Rock, but in neither did he assign any cause for this awful crime. To ] Mir. Teter he directed what he desired
 done with his effects, while the one to
 his mother was "lastn farewell.
 The remains of the murdered wo-
 man were laid to rest Monday aft
 ernoon in Walnut Grove cemetery
 under the direction of Finn & Lock
 ard. Services consisting of prayer
 and singing were held at the grave.
