A Schedule of His Own.

Last Tuesday an engine of the Crow creek gravel pit pulled out for Forrest City about 1 p. m. They had proceeded to a point just east of Riley's orchard where there is a curve, going at a good rate, when they met an empty gravel train of P cars backing down. Tue engineer of the wild engine was unable to stop and went into the caboose with a crash that made splinters fly in every direction. de. mo!ishng the caboose in which fortunately and mlraculously no one happened to be at the time, also smashing several empty gravel cars. The engine looked like 30 cents when it got cleared up.
 There were six men riding on the en. zine, who escaped unhurt by jumping aud this was almost miracle.
 The engine will put in full time at the shops, and the engineer will probably ep. joy little sweat box experience. as he was running on schedule of his own, not even Tagging the curve.
 Such negligence deserves the seyerest condemnation where human lives are endangered to such an extent as this, and no doubt the railroad officials will take all proper steps in the matter.

Visions of Turkey Dinners.

A negro named Jack Allen, was ar. rested on Thursday of last week or the strength of his likeness to a de scription sent iron Fisher, Arkansas, on postal card to City Marshall Rain bolt.
 The card charged tbe negro with the theft of Sl,000 from the railroad sec tion foreman at that place.
 A reward of sl00 is offered for the arrest of the robber, and the hustling marshal was having dreams of new clothes, turkey dinners, etc.
 Parties came to identify the prisoner and found it to be case of mistaken identity, though the description fit him very closely, one remarkable point being that of gold filled upper tooth, which exactly fitted the description There were also several other features of the description which closely cores. bonded, bat he was too light and toe short, and was not the man wanted and he was turned loose, and now the marshal will go right along wearing those same clothes and eating "hce and homing," as usual.

Gone Up in Smoke.

Tuesday night about 12 o'clock the storehouse and contents belonging to s B, Trapp, Jr., at Bonalr, four miles south of town, was totally destroyed by fire MT. Trapp short time ago removed his stock of goods from Forrest City to Bon. air, and had just about commenced busl- ness. Indications point to an attempt at robbery, as the door of the safe was tamp- pered with and portion of the goods found short distance from the store, where they are supposed to have been dropped by the robbers in their flight. An old man sleeping in the next house heard the noise and commenced to give an alarm by shouting, and il is supposed that the robbers took alarm and set the premises afire. The loss is about $8,000, with about S4 ,O00 insurance on stock and 5000 on the building.

Shooting Affray.

Monday afternoon, at the Green,ree saloon, John Finley and k. E. Hostel ter had personal encounter which re- suited disastrously to the former. who had been imbibing too freely and was not physical match for the object of his attack.
 Later Finley is said to have threat ened to make Hostetter leave town. and about Il o'clock that night he was parading the streets with single barrel shotgun, yowing all sorts of dile things to the object of his search.
 Hostetter had been warned of Fin. ley's intentions, but it seems he did not think much of it, until, while he was talking with the operator at the Choctaw. he was informed that Finley was coming down the platform with the gun.
 Hostetter then made dash for the Marion Hotel office and asked Walker Seaborn, the night clerk, for a reyol- yer. Seaborn said he had none. but hostetter knew that the hotel had one and where It was. He ran behind the desk, and pulling open the drawer took the weapon and returned to the plat. form where he met Finley. The latter. recognizing his intended victim raised the shotgun, presumably to fire. but two shots from Hostetter's pistol end ed the fracas. Hostetter had put bullet through the muscles of each of Flnley's arms, the one in the right sey ering an artery, from which he bled profusely.
 Finley thought for moment that he had been killed, and as Hostetter ad- vaneed begged him to not shoot him again. He was required to stand and be searched for smaller weapons, and when Hostetter was satisfied he had no other weapon he set about at once to bind up his victims wounds, send for q doctor, and make him as comfortable as possible.
 Hostetter then hunted up Night Watchman Hodges and surrendered himself. He was guarded until next morning, when he went before Squire J. t. Stone and applied for bail. His bond was fixed at S250, and was made by Max Yoflie, The trial is set for next Monday.
 Hostetter came here about three months ago from Kansas City with a Western Union gang, but since the middle of November has been engaged with the electric light plant He seems to be quiet, inoffeDsiye gentleman. and as brave as lion.
 Finley has been reared here, and IS related to several of the best families When sober he is perfect gentleman and attends strictly 10 his own affairs. He has many friends, the writer iu- cluded, who sincerely regret this un- fortunate affair, and hope there will be no further trouble.
