DANCE WELL ATTENDED.

The dance given at the home of Mrs. J. Brandenburg on Friday even- ing by Miss Lucy Brandenburg in honor of two of the most popular members of the younger society crowd, Misses Mary Bailey and Noreene Kinman, was perhaps the best attended of the summer seasons dances.
 The evening was cool, which made the pastime all the more pleasant. Criswell's colored orchestra furnished music for the occasion and the large reception room had been cleared of all it's furniture making an admiral ble place for the waltz and two-step, which were enjoyed until a late hour.
 Those present were Misses Noreene Kinman, Mary Bailey, Beulah Baird, Elizabeth Taylor, Roberta and Mamie Morrison, Ray and Lucy Brandenburg, Hilda Bailey, Nelia Upshaw, Gertrude Sklllern of Searcy, Gene Randy, Laura Decker of St Louis, Orbie Ar hold, Marille billiard, Jamie Stephens; Messrs. and Mesdames H. B. Cobb, R. B. Hooker, 0. H. Wilmans; Mes danes J. Brandenburg, Narcie Minor, A. D. Bailey, J. L. Sells; Messrs. Robt. Laird, Claude Erwin, c. V. Jones, John Prewitt, Wm. Parrish, Arthur Bailey, w. B. Egan, Eugene Hirsch, Harry Brandenburg, T. w. billiard, Sprigg Foushee, Homer Buford, Ernest and Earl Mcdonald, Drs. H. O. Walker and Geo. Stephens.

CITY COUNCIL CONFINES.

At meeting of the city council Monday evening with all the members present except Alderman Wishon. the financial statement reported by A. D. Bailey, chairman of the Audit ing committee was approved and ordered published.
 A petition of property owners, pre- sented once before, upon which the council took action in making the city of Newport an improvement dis trict that was later found to be in- valid through failure to conform to some legal requirement, was again considered and an ordinance passed making the city an improvement dis trict for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and operating system of sewerage.
 The minutes of the two previous meetings were not read, but all ac- counts approved by the auditing com mittee were allowed.

MOB LOST VICTIM
 BY NEGROES DEATH.

Osceola, Sept S.-Death robbed a mob of a victim here tonight when "Baldy Taylor'', 8 negro, died in the county jail at o'clock.
 Yesterday afternoon when the train of the Deckerville, Luxora and Great Northern railroad pulled into Luxora, Taylor entered the coach for white passengers and upon being told that he was in the wrong coach the negro pulled a revolver and began firing at random. Eugene R. Hughes, prominent lumberman and planter of Rosa, Ark, was mortally wounded; H. c. Fisher, inspector for the Three States Lumber Company, received fatal wound and E. W. Shudy, also lumberman was slightly wounded. Taylor was shot in the breast and it was thought was only slightly wound ed. He was arrested and taken to Osceola jail, while the three white men were cared for by the local phys icians. During the night mob formed with the avowed purpose of lynching the negro. Sheriff Sam Bowen and some deputies stood guard at the jail and refused to deliver the negro to the mob. The latter dis persed until this morning, when it was said reinforcements would arrive and an attack upon the jail begun. At g a. m. it was announced that Hughes had died from his injuries and that Fisher could not live twenty -four hours. This announcement caused more excitement and late today the mob again formed to intercept Sheriff Bowen in an attempt to spirit the negro away to Little Rock. Later Dr. Collier was seen to hastily enter the jail, and in few minutes he emerged with the statement that Taylor had died from his wound. The mob inn mediately dispersed and all is again quiet. Fisher is in desperate con- dition and it is not thought he will survive the night.

THREE TRAMPS KILLED.

An extra south bound freight was wrecked Friday morning, one quarter of mile north of Okane on the Iron Mountain caused by the burning off of journal on one of the forward box cars. As result seven cars were ditched, loaded with grain, iron, ties and other kinds of freight.
 Three tramps who were riding in a car of wheat were covered and smoth- cred to death by the grain. One was a former employe of the Iron Moun- tain.
 The track was cleared by ten o'clock, the wrecking train from Pop lar Bluff and a crew from here in charge of F. Schlitt, car repairer, having been rushed to the scene.
 Nos. and II came through on the main line, reaching Newport about one o'clock while Nos. 2 and 5 were sent around the Memphis branches via Wynne, though No. recieved her orders here and ran back to Bald Knob.

NOT FIRST TROUBLE.

Over year ago Mcbride was taken on trial by the Richmond Cotton Oil Company as bookkeeper, with the understanding that he would be per- manently employed after one month if he gave satisfaction. Secretary and Treasurer Hill Bond, of the company, says Mcbride was not there month before he forged the company's name to two checks, one for $1 1000 and the other for $1,50O, and had them cashed at the Union and Planters Bank. In addition to that, said MT. Bond, the young man took $170 in cash out of the office.

BEE MAKES CHARGES.

The Batesville Bee makes the fol- lowing editorial comment anent the charges of fraud in the Democratic primaries in the county of Independ ence:
 ''The Bee has waited until the cleo tiOn was over to call attention to the crookedness in the late primary in Independence county, which is known to all men, that the charge of person al politics may not apply. Now, we all know the facts. One man changed the ballots. His handwriting is known to majority of the central com mlttee. 1t is no secret who that man is. Will the judge and prosecuting attorney do their duty-will the grand jury do their duty? It should be an easy matter to bring this rogue to justice. Unless it is done the pri- maries in this county will become more and more farce year by year and the grand Democratic majority we have enjoyed will dwindle into a hopeless minority. Let us square ourselves that we may look ourselves in the face and have some self re- spect. Such practices as we have been indorsing lead to ruin and party destruction"

BRUCE MCBRIDE IN TOLLS.
Bruce Mcbride Formerly of Newport Whose Wild Passion For Gamb- ling Led Him From Bad To Worse, Secures Money By
 Forging.

J. B. Mcbride, commonly known as Bruce Mcbride, was arrested Thurs day night at 7:2O o'clock by Detective Theodore Hum, on an Iron Mountain train, just before the train was to leave for St. Louis, and was lodged in the Central police station, says the Memphis Morning News.
 Mcbride is charged with forgery, and the State National Bank will prosecute the case.
 At 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon Mcbride presented a check for $500 to the teller of the State National Bank, purporting to be signed by H. P. Johnson, and made payable to bearer, and the money was paid over A few minutes after Mcbride left the band, Teller John Bright examined the check and decided it was a forg- cry, and he at once telephoned to MT. Johnson, who is manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, asking him to call at the bank. MT. Johnson
 
 called at the bank, and as soon as he saw the check pronounced the sigma ture forgery.
 The police station was notified at once, and all the patrolmen and de- tectives were notified to look out for Mcbride and arrest him if found. In less than five hours after the commits sion of the crime Mcbride was behind the bars at the Central police station. Mcbride was employed at one time by H. P. Johnson at Newport, Ark, and was familiar with his signature. The bank people say that the sigma ture is clever forgery and one not easily detected.

And in this instance we think Towser is already so dead that he stinketh. Yea verify, he stinketh most damn ably. .-Marianna Courier.

JUSTICE MANNING REELECTED.
