Peculiar Incident in Lightle Case.

A rather peculiar incident in
connection with the Lightle case
in Searcy has come to light since
the return of Sheriff Wood, of
White county, from Georgia.
When Wood and his deputy ar
rived in the mountains of Georgia
they looked for someone to pilot
them around, and at last succeed
ed in securing the service of man
who took them over the country,
but was not aware of the fact they
were looking for Lightle. On
their return to the town from
which they started Sheriff Wood
and his deputy informed him what
their business was, when, to their
surprise, their guide told them his
name was Pitts and he was broth
er to the man whose body was
stolen and incinerated by Lightle
and his cohorts.

TRIED TO WRECK A TRAIN
Took Spikes From Rails on Iron
Mountain Near Homan, and
Engine Was Wrecked

Prescott, Ark, Aug. 90. Some
time during last night some person
or persons, with evident intent of
robbery, took the spikes from sew
en- rails on the Iron Mountain track
between here and TeXarkana, near
Holman, and also took the bolts
and taps from the fanges that
hold the rails together. The first
tram to pass was passenger No. s,
north bound, a short train, which
carries but few passengers and no
money. The track spread and the
engine and tender were ditched,
but no one was hurt. The train
was slowly pulling out of Holman
when it struck the effected track.
Investigation revealed the pur-
poses of the parties, and in a few
hours a special, containing blood
hounds and the officials of the road,
was on the way to the scene. The
hounds tracked the perpetrators
through path that was made in
the grass off to the woods, half a
mile, when a circuit was made and
they came back to the track few
hundred yards from where they
started. Then the scent was lost
and could not be found.
The supposition of the officials
Is that after the track was tamper-
ed with the perpetrators HE'D to
the woods, and when the train was
wrecked they came back, and, see-
ing that they had caught the
wrong train, climbed on top and
rode up the road after the train
had been placed on the track
again.
A reward of $3.50 has been off
cred for the arrest of the guilty
persons. 1t is believed that they
are professionals, as the track was
tempered with on a curve, and the
spikes were removed very system
atically.

ed the greatest sensation in the
history of the state.
DR.. Lightle is a young man
about 80 years old, and it is indeed
deplorable to think of young
man just entering upon what
promised to be successful and
honorable career, falling to the
depths of dishonor and shame, and
so far transgressing the law as to
bring himself into contempt and
dishonor before his country-men
and before the bar of justice on so
serious a charge.
1t illustrates the weakness of
man and his consuming lust for
money.

JOHN N. T0MLlNSON
A Sketch of the flan Who
Once Owned the Entire
Site of Newark.

One of the most remarkable
men in independence county is
John \. Tomlinson, of this place.
Mr.. Tomlinson, or Uncle John, y
as he is more Familiarity known,
settled upon the present site of
Newark in the year 1854, and
might properly be termed the faith
er of Newark.
He built the first house ever
built in the town; a large and spac-
ious old-fashioned log house, which
is still standing today, and is fire.
quently pointed out to visitors.
When Uncle John settled here
this immediate section was what
might properly be termed wild
erness. There was no railroad
and no settlement of any kind
nearer than Akron. The land on
which Newark now stands was all
In the woods, and at the time be-
Ionged to the state. He patented
$40 acres where the town is now
situated in 1872, and in 1854 built
his house.
AT that time the idea that live
and progressive town would ever
spring up here had never entered
the head of anyone.
In those days old Jacksonport
was in her glory and the principal
part of the trade from this section
went there.
1t was in the year 1883 that the
town of Newark was laid off under
the direction of Uncle John and
the first lots sold were to Emerson
Moore. Mr. Moore built the first
business house. About the same
time, or shortly afterwards, Uncle
John erected business house on
the lots where HoIderby & Law
ton are now doing business and
went into the mercantile business,
and during Cleveland's first adj
ministration was postmaster. AT
ter the erection of these business
houses people began to settle here
and Uncle John sold lots to them
at reasonable prices, and thus en-
couraged the growth of the town.
Uncle John can relate many in
teresting experiences of life dur

ing the early settlement of this
country. Mr.. Tomlinson father
was a South Carolinian and moved
to Arkansas and settled in Big
Bottom in the year 1928. At that
time Indians were numerous In
this part of the country, and the
country was infested with nearly
all kinds of wild animals. At the
age of Il he had a hand to-hand
fight with a wounded bear on the
Island, and when 10 had similar
experience near Fairview. 1t was
a fight for life in both instances,
and he was successful in killing
them.
Uncle John was born at Murph-
reesboro, Tenn, May 10, 1927.
Two years after his father settled
in this country his house. which
stood between here and Akron,
was burned. Uncle John was on
ly three years old, but says he re-
members the occurrence very dis
tinctly.
He was married March II,
1851, to Mary Sutherland. There
were no children born unto them
and his wife died January %.

AN ODD GAME.

How a Race Can Be Run With Drops
of Water.
This game can be readily made in a
few minutes by any boy or girl. AS
is we'll known, if a drop Of water be
placed on piece Of paper it will be at
once absorbed by the paper, but if the
paper is oiled the drop of water will
remain intact and slide gracefully over
the paper.
The first thing necessary is to get
four or five books, one smaller than
the other and rest them on their edges
on the table.
Then get a sheet of strong paper,
hold it over a lamp till it is thoroughly
blackened by the SCOT from the flame
and then oil it, This done. you lay it
over the tops Of the book covers, hold
ing it down with plate or other small
vessel at the end. Take a spoon and
let a few drops Of water drip on the
paper, and they will slide along like
so many living things until they fall
into the plate. The game is to see
which drop of water gets there first
1t can be played by any number Of
boys and girls, but a careful watch
