Killed in the Saddle.

Cauthron, March 13- Marvin P. Johnson, agent of the Arkan- sas Western Railroad at Cauth- ron, is dead as the result of in- juries received in a peculiar manner. He had been to the home of a neighbor for a sack of cotton seed. He had placed the sack of cotton seed on the horses back and was preparing to mount. The sack slipped and without removing his foot from the stirrup he attempted to straighten the sack. This frightened the horse and he started to run. Mir. Johnson's foot hung in the stirrup and the horse threw him against a pile of timber, a point of one of which pierced his side. He was then dragged about 300 yards before the horse was stopped. Medical aid was at once sum- moned and an examination made. It was found that a hole three inches in width and four inches deep had been made. He rallied from the shock of the accident and was believed to be on the road to recovery when pneumo- mia set in, which was the imme- diate cause of his death. The funeral services were held under the auspices of the Masons, of which he was a member, and in- torment was made at Cauthron.

MARSHAL NOT A PARTY.
Court Held That Marshal Stephens Was Not Responsible for Acts of Officer
 Beard in Vance Case.

Special to Independent:
 Walnut Ridge, March IA In the damage suit of James Vance, formerly of Sharp county but later of Grubbs, against Walter Beard and T. s. Stephens, mar shal of the c ty of Newport, the court held that Marshal Stephens was not responsible for the acts of Officer Walter Beard in the arrest and imprisonment of the plaintiff and that he could not be made a party defendant.
 The case of Vance vs. Beard for false imprisonment went to trial but a verdict has not yet been reached.
 In the employment of Walter Beard, the council paid a portion of his salary and the marshal allowed a portion of his own in order to secure the services of an additional man upon the force.

IN DEFENSE OF HIS DAUGHTER.
Dad Carouthers of fioxie Killed Man Who Was Beating His Daughter
 Carpenter May Die.

Hoxie, March 13. Ex-Marshal Frank Carpenter, who was shot and stabbed by his friend, M. M. Carouthers, 65 years old, and also a former marshal, has de- veloped pneumonia and is II: a serious condition today. Carouth- CTS is under arrest. He does not express any great sorrow over his act, declaring that he acted in self-defense and in order to protect his daughter, whom he says, Carpenter was beating.
 Dad" Carouthers, as the old man is known, is extremely pop ular in this section. During his term as marshal he was terror to law-breakers, and had killed three men. In each of these cases he was honorably ac- quilted.
 In recent years the old fellow has retired and has been living with his daughter at Walnut Ridge. Last Saturday evening Carpenter visited the Carouthers home and got into a dispute with the ex-marshal's daughter. Then, according to Carouthers, he began beating the girl. The old man ran into the room where the pair were.
 "Here," he shouted to Carpen- ter, let the child alone." When he said this he declares that Carpenter put his hand in his hip pocket. As he did so Car outhers drew his revolver and fired. The bullet struck Carpen- ter in the right hand, which was in his hip pocket. Carpenter then sprang forward and grap- pied with Carouthers, seizing his gun. Then the old ex-marshal drew a bowie-knife and stabbed his opponent in the right breast. He surrendered to the authorities immediately afterward and de- clares he is willing and anxious to stand trial.
 ''I did right" " says the old man in talking of the affair.

Soldier Boy Questions Davis.

Texarkana, March 13-Gov. Jeff Davis spoke at the court house here Monday night to a large audience, including a num- Der of ladies. There was only one incident of a sensational kind, and that occurred when the governor said there were nearly $9,00O,000 in the state treasury, and that the state was out of debt and did not owe any body a cent.
 A member of Company G, the local military company, arose and said in a loud voice: Excuse me for the language, ladies, but the governor is tell ing a d-d lie. He knows he owes us soldier boys for the yel- low fever quarantine work we did last summer, and won't pay us cent. "
 x. The governor ignored the in- x xterruption, and after hesitating N moment proceeded with his Iddress.
 Company G has been trying flor months to get it's pay for last summer's quarantine work, but |ao far has not succeeded.

Garry Nations Philosophy.

Whiskey is root of all evil.
 The Lords ways are not mans ways. My method of fighting evil was revealed to me in pe- culiar way as were the prophets of old. David used a sling, Sam son used the jawbone of an ass, l used my hatchet.
 The good man is the exception; the bad woman is the exception.
 God never gave man pas sion he could not control.
 The present system of black mail used by the city and county and city officers against the ten derloin districts is nefarious and a disgrace to civilization.
 Two things drive women to the redlight districts; their hus- bands drank and drove them to the devil, or their people would not dress them as gorgeously as they wanted to dress. l have more respect for fallen women than I have for the men who help to drag them down.
 Anybody that wouldn't find fault with Jeff Davis, wouldn't find fault with the devil.

ROGERS WON SUPPORT.
Attorney General Makes Able Def in Court House Address Against
 Slurs of His Enemies.

Hon. Robert L. Roge3(s, attor- ney general and candidate for governor, spoke at/ the court house Tuesday aft ernoon to a large crowd of vo2 Gers and from the manner in VI Eich he was re- ceived and the Welcome accorded him at the cloSje of his speech, it was eviden1E that he was in the house of his friends.
 He exprs lssed regret ever the nature of the campaign waged against 'lhim and in order to de- fend h. yhnself against the asper- i; sions Of his enemies, he had been forca Ed to deal with them. The nanlHe of good and virtuous wo- mfkn, so far as he knew, in the lnlubbock county, Texas case, chad been called into question / that he too might be injured and in routing these charges, he read a certified copy of the verdict in the divorce case in question, which upheld the character of the woman referred to and her husband was found to be the offending member of the union.
 MT. Rogers explained to the satisfaction of all how he had given a man at Van Buren, who had lied about him and made him angry, genteel cussing, sub- mitted his case and paid the fine. That was all there was to 1t.
 The speaker paid his respects to the Monte Ne Herald and Ar genta News whose unscrupu- lous and irresponsible editors are conducting an indecent cam paign against him in the further ance of the charges above ex- plained
 MT. Rogers upheld his record as attorney general, his action in thehack tax cases against the Pullman and other companies, the railroad tax compromise and on points that Governor Davis has made issues of the campaign.
 He was frequently and vigor- ously applauded and concluded his address in time to take the 3:1O D. m. train south.
