MAJORITY CONTINUE
 AGAINST LICENSE.
Prohibitionists Hay Have Major ity in Popular Vote for First Time-Van Bu-
 ren Goes Dry.

Little Rock, Sept. 8. No little interest attaches to the election returns relative to liguor license in the various counties. While the figures are as yet incomplete it is certain that majority of the counties in the state have aligned on the Tho license" side. Two years ago forty-four out of seventy-fve counties voted against license. 9 4l
 Three large counties, Independ- ence, Hemstead and Craighead, voted no license this year. Two years ago they went for license. The result of the vote last Mon day is that there will be no sa- looms in Batesville, Hope and Jonesboro after Jan. next. The latest information from Van Blu ren is that Crawford county went "dry" Monday. This is another change from the alignment of two years ago. ..s.
 Each county is government by it's own vote on the question on license, but as a matter of inter est the total vote in the state for and against license is footed up every two years. In 1902 the to- tai vote for license in the entire state was 58, 545, and the total against license was 54, 935. This no license" has made gains, and will probably show a majori- ty in the state on the popular vote. -4 .tr-.,-. v,

NEWPORT, ARKANSAS. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1904
HURT SHOT AT
 BREWSTER FLEEING.
Former Claims Brewster Had Written an Insulting Letter
 to His Wife.

Redfeld, Sept. 7.-Oscar Hurt, who claims to be a resident of Little Rock, became involved in a shooting affray with Arthur Brewster about two miles south of this place this morning about ' o'clock. Hurt fired at Brews- ter, but the shot missed him and struck a negro, inf1icting a severe wound.
 Hurt came to Redfeld from Little Rock last night, and early this morning went to blaming mill south of this place, where Brewster was working as fore man. Brewster commenced to run when he saw Hurt, and the latter opened fire with M-cal- iber revolver. Brewster was not harmed, but one of the shots struck a negro bystander on the head. The wound was painful, but was not thought to be seri- ous.
 Hurt claims that the trouble arose through a letter of an ir- sl1ltinp character which Brewster is alleged to have sent to Hurts wife, and which Hurt says he has in his possession. Hurt claims he would not have shot Brewster had he not tried to run away. 4
 Hurt was arrested and placed under $100 bond to appear in Justice Harnell's court.

TWO SPEEDY HORSES
ARE OUT FOR TO-DAY
McChesney and Gold Heels
Scratched From Worlds
Fair Card

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 24-Gold Heels
ana McChesney VIII not be starters in
the worlds fair handicap tomorrow. This
much was decided today. Gold Heels has
gone lame in his work. his old trouble re-
turning. McChesney has not even be ship
ped here. it is said, as Trainer Sam Hi
9reth has decided that the big chestnut is
so far from ready that he would stand no
chance at all Of taking down any part
Of the $4,000 prize. A world OF money
is thus passed to- the future beekmaAers,
the race.
The announcement OF this was a. great
disappointment TO turf followers here and
crushing blow to the hopes OF the race
the heid would be a model OF hfgh-class
horSeffeSh and one that would stand for a
long time as the high-water mark for
class and numbers.
Hermis Does Fine Trial
HeTmis is regarded as the natural ia
vOrite OF the lot that remain in the run
ming. and today no better than to 5
could be obtained from any of the book
makers. The trip to this city appears to
have done him no harm at all and in his
final workout today he showed all of his
great speed and ability to go the route.
Trainer Aleck Shields timed the mile and
an eighth in 1858, while a number of
other horsemen that witnessed the trail
perfectly sound and full of running and
afterward cooled out in perfect shape.
Colonial Girl, weighted at only 81
pounds, is regarded with Bernays OF
Rome Respess' stable, as having the best
outside chances of taking down the long
end or the rich stake Both have been
heavily played In Chicago and other places
where future books are being operated 1t
is known that Respess has advised his
friends to play the stable companion OF
Dick Welles and that they have taken
his tip as they always did in the past.
RespesS has the reputation of sending his
horses to the post ready for the hardest
sort of a race, and oBernays' shape at
present bears out the crafty trainers rep
utation. ~
Mare Shows FinG Form
Colonial Girl had a final mile and an
eighth workout for the race this morn
ing and on track that is fully five
seconds slow turned off the route in l :59,
and that. too, with 121 pounds up This
Is regarded as exceptionally good for the
mare, and there is little doubt she will
be heavily played.
Jockey Bullman is here. but since Me
Chesney will not go to the post he Is
without a mount. Aubuchon also is here
and will ride Colonial Girl.

SCHRFCK STOPS HIS
MAN IN THE SIXTH
Cincinnati Fighter Has No
Trouble Landing the Punch
on Ben Tremble

Ben Tremble, of Eau Claire, signed for
the sponge in the sixth round when he
faced Mike Schreck. of Cincinnati at the
boxing exhibition given the visiting Eagles
last evening in the rink on Raspberry
island
1t looked good at the start Tremble
bounded into the ring. and without ado
swatted Schreck a couple. sending the
Cincinnati man to the floor. Schreck
afterwards asserted that he stumbled
when hit. Schreck responded with left
swing on Tremble's jaw, and the Eau
Claire man went down. Jumping to his
feet Tremble made a rush and caused a
mix that appeared to have the stuff back
of 1t. The end of the round was prac-
tically the end Of the fight.
In the second Tremble made his last
stab. and it was a dinky one at that.
Rushing at his antagonist he would make
fearful swing with his left, which would
be ducked by Schreck, and responded to
by lively punch in Trembles stomach.
Time after time Tremble made the same
play, and at the end of the round he was
a putting, pale, winded piece of humanity
who had lost all chance of winning.
Tremble continued his tactics of at
tempting to swing on Schreck and then
escape punishment by cliRching. Gen
orally Schreck responded with lively
punches in the. stomach. For two min
utes in the sixth Tremble kept his feet
by frequent clinches and by taking two
nine counts before getting to his feet. In
a mix with Schreck he got a tap ON the
short ribs, sank to his knees and re-
manned there until ten had been count
ed.
In the preliminary bouts Connie Kelly,
of Chicago. made quick work Of Kid Cor
don, of Minneapolis. The latter was not
in the running, being smashed about the
ring in such lively fashion that he hardly
had time to realize what had happened.
Kelly hit Gordon on the jaw. In the
stomach, uppercut him, swung on hil.4,
and otherwise used him as a punching
bag. The end came in the third round,
when Gordon went down and out
Tony Caponi, of Chicago and John La
Rue, of Minneapolis, went through fif-
teen rounds Of wrestling without going to
the mat. This was not a fight 1t was not
boxing and could not be termed real
wrestling.

CHICAGO, June 24-The hearing Of
the case of the government against E.
A. Shanklin and S. w. Jacobs, charged
with running fraudulent insurance
companies, was continued today by
United States Commissioner Foote to
July l. The principal witness was e.
Is. Duvall, an insurance broker Of Bal
timore, who testified that he had placed
insurance for his clients with the
Shanklin companies, relying upon the
statements sent out by them through
the mails as to their standing and as
sets, and had been unable to collect
anything. He declared that there was
at least 100000 of insurance involved
IN the Baltimore conflagration written
by Chicago wildcat" companies on
which not cent had been realized.
The usual defense was that the COM
panies had not been properly notified
