WILL JEFF HEAR THE OWL HOOT :?
4 Red Neck" Writes a Personal Letter to "Jefie, Old Boy" and Asks Some Very
 Pertinent Questions.

Jefferson Township, March 15.
 Dear Jeff What in the world
 those fellows all mean by say
 g you will never hear the owl IS0t after the 26th? It can't be 5eeause you ask for the govern DIS office for the third term, be- cause that is something no one eVer got.
 It can't be because you wanted Ea beer inspector at S3,000 and two assistants at S1, ,500 each an nually. No, it can't be that.
 It's not because you pardoned that fellow Stuckey for playing Eon his violin Home, Sweet Hoine, or the $500 Judge
 Pickett got out of Stuckey for 8uning the fiddle. No, it cannot 8be that, for that was business of yours, Stuckey and Pickett. no Zone else.
 # Say, Jeff, it can't be that Pomp EBrown thing. No, I guess not. &Such a thing as that don't amSunt to anything down here in Arkansas.
 # Now, Jeff, do you think that EDr. Lee Johnson case has any |thing to do with all of this trou- ble? No, l guess not. No, it an'tAe that, because he paid James &Fuller of Eureka Springs lots said to be worth S1,000 to get the thing 0. k. It can't be that.
 Say, do you suppose turning out that old ex-Confederate sol sdier Benjamin F. Reed as janitor land putting in that negro Bill Esszell had anything to do with 1t? |No, I guess not.
 | Well, sir, can't see the point. Now, Jeff, you remember what you did to that other old ex-Con- fed, so you could give Sam, your brother-in-law, a good job. Jeff, how is Sam getting along, any way? They tell up here that you only raised Sam's wages from $2 to $3 per day. Now you know it can't be that. That hasn't anything to do with all of this trouble.
 I heard an old guy say that you vetoed house bill 380. This bill prohibited freight and pas senger trains from standing across roads and public highways longer than 10 minutes. I don't think that could have anything to do with it. You have a per- feet right to stand in with the railroads if you want to, and then put it off on the other fellow.
 Say, that other bill, No. 523, that you vetoed. They say that
 
 bill was to force the railroads to pay S5 per acre for lands they had taken for right of way. That slas nothing to do with those fel- lows. That was yours and the railroads business only.
 Jeff, you remember you told the people at Swifton that when yoyspas elected governor that ailroads were assessed at
 900 per mile. Did you know
 They caught up with you on that?
 hey say the Iron Mountain was |ssessed at$13, 0per mile. Say, he difference is so small it cant t De that. Only $8,000 per mile.
 Jeff, do you remember that let ter you wrote to M. L. Harper telling him to pull John out of #hat canebrake and make him run for representative. Well, *sir, I heard the old guy say that kthat was one of the starters for John, and he pulled back till they tore all of his clothes off. But John is in the race all the same. They say some fellows will fix the rope to be pulled out with.

YOUNG MANS LEG BROKEN
Steel Tube Slides With Disastrous Re-
suits For Him.

Edward Downs, an apprentice in the
shops of the Pusey & Jones Company,
had his right leg broken between the
ankle and the knee yesterday after
noon. He and a machinist We're en-
gagged in removing a long piece Of
brass from the back Of tier of hol-
low steel rolls used in the construction
OF paper machinery, and as i'm all in
stances. were thoroughly checked.
In some ineSplcable manner one Of
the tubes in the second or third row Of
the tier was pushed down. which
caused the upper one to slide and fore
ed the bottom one against the young
mans leg. Before he could get past
a pump casting his leg was caught and
broken. There were only two men en-
gagged in the work, and as was erron-
eously stated Ia a morning paper no
other men were I'm danger at any time.
A number Of fellow employees ran at
once to the assistance Of Downs and re-
moved the roll by hand In a few min
utes. The young man was sent to the
Delaware Hospital where his injury
was attended to. He was not injured
internally. His father. who lives IN
Delaware City. was notified OF the ac-
cident. He came to this city immedi-
ately to see his son and found him wen
cared for and comfortable.
