1t is estimated that a COW weigh

The character of the food given the

though the freezing and thawing of

 ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED
Son of Representative Vim Lost His Life While Bathing
 in Creek.

Van Buren, Aug. 29. Booker Vim, son of Representative John R. Vim, while in bathing at Peavy House ford, on Lees creek, yesterday at 2 p. m., was drowned. This makes the third victim for Lees creek this year at that point. The body has not been recovered yet, and as it is a very swift and treacherous stream the corpse may wash out into the Arkansas river. A boy was drowned there in the spring, but was not found until the body reached Dardanelle, forty miles down the river.

SOUGHT TO WRECK
 MOUNTAIN PASSENGER.
Dastardly Work of Men Near Homan, on Iron Mountain,
 Caused Wreck.

A dastardly attempt was made near Homan, on the main line Ot the Iron Mountain, to wreck pas senger train No. 8 Sunday night. The engine left the track and turned on it's side, followed by the baggage and mail cars, but these were not damaged to any considerable extent. The em- ployes of the train at once made an investigation of. the track and found that several spikes had been removed and that one rail was loose for some distance. The spikes had been drawn and thrown off the right of way, and in some instances none had been left on the road bed. Several were found near the place. The railroads best detectives have been sent to Homan, and if the men are caught it is said that an example will be made of them. It has been some time since an attempt to wreck a train in this state was made and the officials, as we'll as the public, are indignant at the procedure.
 Superintendent Tyler has tele- graphed Sheriff Hood, of the county in which the crime was committed, offering reward of $25O for the arrest of the guilty persons. It is believed that they are professionals, as the track was tempered with on curve, and the spikes were removed very systematically.

RAYMOND PUGH BOWEN.

Death came into the home of MT. and Mrs. Otto M. Bowen Monday evening and robbed a happy family and devoted par ents of their greatest comfort, joy and pride in the life of an only son, Raymond Pugh, aged 7 years, 9 months and 3 days.
 The little fellow was taken sick Wednesday with fever, which on Monday morning de- veloped into appendicitis and an operation for this trouble was to have been performed at 8 o'clock, as the seriousness of his illness was recognized, and to preserve life this step was thought neces- sary. But death forestalled the skill of surgery an hour and car ried away the suffering child to the peace of another world.
 To the stricken parents is ex- tended the sympathy of all, for what loss is comparable to that of such a child, and in this in- stance about his memory will always hang recollections of the loving, unselfish nature by which his sweet character was ever manifested, to draw tighter the bonds of parental affection. The innocence and goodness of child hood have rich rewards in heav- enly crowns.
 The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. T. F. Richardson, pastor of the Christian church, and burial fol- lowed at Walnut Grove.

 Newport, Ark, Aug. P, '04.
 To the Hon. Mayor and Council
 of the city of Newport.
 Gentlemen:
 I have the honor to call your attention to the service and pro- tection the Newport Water and Irrigation Company is giving the city. On Wednesday, the 17th day of August, at about 3o'clock D. m., the company shut the pumps down without notice to the city or anyone else, and with out having the tank at the tower full of water, and in short time the tank was empty. The pumps 'Awere not working for twenty four hours, and during that time the city was entirely without fire protection. The water company has employed a man who, from the way he has been running the machinery, is entirely incompe- tent, as this is the second time since his employment that the same conditions existed. At the time the pumps stopped working 1.-the elevated tank was less than one-third full, when the ordi- nance provides that it shall be at all times in condition to furnish water from any four hydrants in the city four one-inch streams of water sixty feet high for a peri Tod of two hours. And instead of the tank being in this condition it was entirely empty. Besides there being no water for fire pro- ! tection, there was none for pri- 3vate consumption, consumers < having to have their water haul ed from the river or use water ! from private wells or pumps. The water company iS very prompt in the collection of it's water rates, making patrons pay Llfor water three months in ad- kvance, and the company should De compelled to furnish them
