Err ABOUT FOUR MILES

From Description Given Thought
Here to Be Boay of Harry
c. Buck, Little Rock.

Coroner McGaughy received "a mes
sage from Fairfield Saturday after
noon stating that a body of a man
tad been found by negro floating in
the Arkansas river about four miles
from Fairfield. and that it was the
body OF either a white man or In
ulan, as the hair was straight. The
coroner could not go owing to the
tact that circuitCus route would
nave to be taken and much of the dis
lance travelled in a skiff, requiring
considerable time to make the trip.
Esq. Davis could be easily had and
coroner McGaughy Instructed those
VINO communicated with him to get

FROM the meagre description given
OF the body the belief is general here
that 1t is the body of Harry [. Buck

Under pressure from numerous pc
titions signed by property owners
and residents of the city, Mayor
White has again vetoed the .mutual
agreement reached the by the city
council at its last meeting in regard
to the running al large of stock in
the city limits The question Will
lave to be threshed over again by the
council as there are some residents
in Lakeside who want the stock law
enforced AS matters stand at
present, while the law regarding the
running at large of stock applies to
the whole city. by an understanding
on the part Of the council and the
chief of police, only those residents
of the city living in certain sections
ere required to pay fines when their
COWS and horses run at large. In
other places, the differs of the law
the streets OF the city. It has been
the practice OF some residents to
drive their cows across the imagl-
nary line now set by the mutual
agreement and impose on those who
live out side the pale. For this rea-
son, the property owners on Lake
side have petitioned the city council
to enforce the law in that section.
