 Scores were kept by the young hostess and at the conclusion of the games, prizes were awarded to Mrs. R. D. Wilmans and Miss Lou Minor, each of whom re- ceived a beautiful framed pie ture, while the gentlemen's prizes, two boxes of fine cigars, were awarded Messrs. R. D. Wilmans and Claude Erwin.
 At the conclusion of the games a delightful Christmas luncheon was served on the card tables and consisted of chicken salad, salmon croquettes, nut sand wiches, olives and coffee.

HELENA BURGLAR CAUGHT

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec, 28. -Chas. Butler, the negro who had about $500 in money and diamonds when arrested, after a fight, by Detective Lee Killian Tues day. changed the story he told Chief of Detectives Desmond, in which he stated that he had rob- bed residences in Omaha. He now declares he stole the jewell ry and money from homes in Helena, Ark. He said he did not tell the truth at first because he was afraid he would be sent back to the Arkansas town and lynched. He told Chief Des- mond yesterday that he wished he could be sent to the peniten- tiary at Jefferson City, and said if he could go there he would be willing to take life sentence.
 A telegram from the police at Helena to Chief Desmond to- night stated that Butler was wanted there for burglary and larceny, and that requisition pa- would be prepared immediately.

SHOOTING AFFRAY
 NEAR RECTOR.
Relative of Mart Vowell PrOba- bly, Fatally Wounded by
 Town Marshal.

Paragould, Dec. 28. A shoot ing affray, which will probably prove fatal, is reported from Rec tor, twelve miles north of here, last night, Louis Nolan, white man, was shot through the groin by Town Marshal Cagle with a 44-calibre revolver.
 The young man was drunk and disorderly and is said to have re- sisted arrest by the officer. Mo- Ian, the marshal Says, drew a knife and started toward him, whereupon the officer presented his pistol at the mans breast and ordered him to surrender. Mo- Ian refused to submit to arrest and advanced upon Cagle in a threatening manner, with an open knife. The officer says he purposely lowered the range of his weapon and shot Nolan as above stated, the ball passing en- tirely through the lower part of the body.
 Nolan is alive, but his wound is regarded as an ex remedy dan- gerous one. He is a relative of the late Mart Vowell, who was executed here last June for the murder of Bill Lovejoy.

 Newton Allwhite declared that he positively identified the two men and that they were only 100 yards behind the ladies. He contradicted Stafford in saying that he and his father did not visit any traps.
 Witness stated that both Bunch and Burgess had appar- ently been drinking, the former, he said, wore dark coat and hat, while latter had on light-colored hat. The two men were brought before the witness and identified by him.

Newport daily independent., 1904-12-30

A well founded ru1tor, the re- liability of which there is little reason to doubt, has made in- tense the interest and excite ment of the people over the pro- bable apprehension of the mur- derers of Mrs. Rachel Kinkan- non and Mrs. Amelia Mauldin upon Christmas morning.
 This current report says that Newt Allwl7ite Thursday evening confessed the guilt of his father and himself of the double mur- der, giving all the details of the shocking crime. The confession is said to have been made to the sheriff and at noon Friday had not been told to the inquest jury.
 To corroborate and fully estab- fish the boys story he was taken to the scene of the tragedy Fri day morning and is said to have there related how he and his father had outraged and mur- dered the defenseless women, throwing the body of Mrs. Kin kannon into the river. However, he is said to have failed to find the gun used in the crime, which he said was hidden near the spot.
 The two Allwhites were ar rested and jailed Thursday even ing, as were also the two men, Arthur Bunch and Walter Bur- gess, whom the story of father and son before the inquest jury implicated. Bunch and Burgess were arrested near Stryder's late Thursday afternoon.
 The inquest jury will probably return verdict tonight and it is confidently expected they will fix the crime upon two of the four men now in jail.
 ALLWHITE ON STAND.
 Loui Allwhite, about whom in- terest centers in this investiga- tion, and whose arrest was made by the sheriff Thursday evening, together with that of his son, Newton, was brought before the inquest jury that afternoon and put through vigorous examina- tion.
 Perhaps a man of 43years, on- ly about 5 feet tall, stockily built, with red, fluffy face and dark brown beard, he failed to make good witness for himself. He told of his trip to Jewell w. att's Christmas morning, how he had stopped at Stafford's tent, saw Mrs. Kinkannon and Mrs. Mauldin pass along the railroad track, and in about 15 minutes both he and his son crossed the railroad track and cut across to Jewell Wyatt's. He saw two men, b oth white, whom he thought were Ar thur Bunch and Walter Bur- gess, and they were going in the direction of the women and would have had time to catch up with them at the place of the murder. Witness heard two gun shots when about 200 yards from the railroad, but kept on his way in northeasterly direction through the woods.
 YOUNG ALLWHITE TEsTIFIEs.
 Newton Allwhite, az ed about 19 years, a beardless, light haired and fair complected boy, not more than an inch taller than his father, was next sworn. He stated that when he and his fa- ther were standing at the Staf- ford tent, both saw Bunch and Burgess, and his father remark ed upon it, calling the mems names. This was III direct con- tradiction to the old mans testi-

eral, who returned to-day from visit
to his home at Fargo, North Dakota,
said in, an interview: The proper
way to describe the manner in which
the people of North Dakota are COM
ing over into Western Canada is to
say they are coming over in droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought Of there being
boundary line at all. 1t is simply a
question" added the major, "of there
not being any more land in North
Dakota and the surrounding States,
and the people are flocking to Canada
to get good farms. Naturally the
number that will come over will in
crease all the time, and l may say
the people you are getting are the
best people in the west. They are
we'll supplied with money and are
we'll acquainted with the conditions
under which they will have to work"

New Bread Making Process.

THE good housewives of this coun-
try" said an official of the state de.
partment the other day, will be in
terested in a report recently received
from United States Consul Mahin at
Nottingham in regard to a newly in
vented process for making bread, the
chief virtues of which are that it re-
duces the time and labor.
las is we'll known, most of the time
required in the ordinary process of
making the staff of life is in the prep
aration and treatment of the dough.
After that has been mixed and knead-
ed it must be left to rise, a process
consuming anywhere from four to
twelve hours. Under the new process,
it is said, that this new operation is
reduced to one hours time. The pro-
cess is as yet a secret, but is said to
require no additional plant or ma
terials, the desired effect being pro.
duced by the action of temperatures.
At a recent practical demonstration,
the bread was made up into dough
ready for the oven in, SO minutes, and
the batch of twenty-five loaves was
produced from the raw -four in t. q
hours and thirty-fve minutes. T! 2
-four was weighed and the number
loaVes compared with the number ..
duced by the ordinary process, and t
was found that under the new proces ]
eight more quartern loaves than usual
were produced from sack of flour" -

Source Of Ivory supply.

During a recent visit to the London
docks the queen of England was in
formed that the stock of ivory then
shown represented, on an average, the
annual slaughter of some 100000
African elephants. This statement has
been contradicted. One importer states
that at least IS per cent of the supply
is dead ivory" mainly obtained from
boarded stores of African chiefs, who
are shrewd enough to put their com
modities ON the market only in drib-
let's. The most interesting part of
the letter is, however, the statement
that the great bulk of this boarded
ivory is obtained from elephant
cemeteries"-spots met with here and
there in the jungle, where elephants
have resOrted for centuries to die.
Much Of the ivory that comes to the
market may, therefore, according to
this letter, be several hundred years
old.
