NEGRO SAVED TRAIN.
Cousin of Man Lynched at Wynne Last Week Borrowed Red Dress
 and Tagged Cannon Ball.

Augusta, Ark, Nov. 27.-The north bound cannon ball train that runs from Little Rock to St. Louis would have been wrecked at a point between Jelks Station and McCrory, nine miles east of here, Wednesday had it not been for Folly Jackson, a negro, kinsman of Lige Wells, who was lynched by mob at Wynne, Ark, last week for cutting and attempting to kill Con- ductor Campbell. There was wash out on the main line and the cannon ball went over the Bald Knob branch of the Iron Mountain to Wynne and from there north via Knoble to St. Louis two hours ahead of the cannon ball on regular time. The Memphis & Bald Knob branch passenger train broke a rail about half mile east of Jelks, and Zolly, who lives near and was walking down the track to Me- Crory, made the discovery and pro- vided himself with a neighbours red dress and Jagged the train. The ne- gro seems to be very proud of saving the train, which was well loaded with passengers, and the strange part of it all is that the opportunity fell to him. Folly and Alex Wells lived together all last year, their wives being cous- ins.
 Certainly the railroads have no fear of such heroes as zolly Jackson doing them damage now.

FRISCO TO EXTEND
 FROM POCAHONTAS.

Pocahontas, Nov. 27.-It is more than probable that the Southeastern, ssr better known as the Erb Railroad, will extend from Pocahontas to New port at an early date and that the proposed road from Hoxie to Little Rock will be abandoned for few years; but it is authoritatively stated that the Pocahontas Little Rock line will be completed by January 1, 1904. The roundhouses and shops will be located at this point, and the road will run on this side of the river to Black Rock, where it will cross on the Frisco bridge. The bridge across Black river at this point, Pocahontas, is too light for engines of more than fifty five tons. Superintendent O. M. Hunt and party of Frisco officials were in Pocahontas last Sunday, looking over the grounds.

SHORT LIFE OF BRIDE.

At 4:3O Wednesday afternoon the beautiful young bride of Curtis Albro passed into the great beyond.
