DESPERATE
 CAREER ENDED
les Hudson,the Noted Boone County OutiaW, Dies from Wounds Re- ceiyed in a duel with Deputy
 United States Marshal at
 AnadarkO, 0. T.

Hudson's next tragedy was the the killing of deputy United States Marshel Jim Keys at Jasper for which he was after ward tried and acquitted. About two years ago he killed Henry Barchman near Omaha. He was at largo for a number of months before he was taken in custody for this killing during which time it is said he killed man at Shreveport, La.. He was tried and acquitted for the murder of Barchman last fall.
 Hudson grew to manhood on a farm Tn Boone county near Har- rison. His father is one of Boone's most substantial and re- spected citizens.
 The Hudson family enjoys the fullest confidence and esteem of the people of Boone county. There was nothing in Hudson's career as a boy to indicate the desperate spirit that possessed him.
 Those who knew him and his school mates say that he was of a quiet, retiring and inoffensive disposition but that when he was aroused he always sought ven- geance with weapon. It was this spirit, together with strong drink, that made him one of the most desperate of men, one who set the value of human life at naught and did not hesitate to take it upon the slightest prov ocation.
 The career of Wes Hudson should serve as a warning to every boy who knows of it against the evils of whiskey drinking and bad associations. He was a young man who had the very best of advantages and could have made useful and honorable citizen. His acquaintauces say that when he was not under the influences of whishey, he was pleasent, congeniel and gentle manly in his conduct but when drinking he was a violent, blood- thirsty villain in whose presence no man was safe. The good name of Hudson's father and family makes his career all the more deplorable and no doubt it is relief to them to know that it has ended.

 Crusade Begun
Inter Church Fcderationof State Commences no License Fight. Letter is Sent to Pastors Urging Them to Join in
 fights on Saloons.

One of the most elaborate temperance movements ever started in Arkansas is now being planned by the Inter- Church Temperance Federation of this state. It is the intention of this organization to start a "no license' campaign in every county.
 The campaign will begin at once and will reach it's climax at the general election next fall.
 The plan is outlined in detail in the following letter to ministers and temperance workers in the state, which will be published in the Searchlight, the official organ of the Federation:
 'sTo the Pastors and Friends of Temperance in Arkansas:
 "It is the purpose of the Inter- Church Temperance Federation of Arkansas to inaugurate a simultaneous mo license cam paign in every county of the state at some time just before the gen. eral election. To accomplish this purpose the pastors of the churches and friends of temper ance arc very much needed to CO., operate with the federation. Any pastor or friend of temperance who reads this is requested to ad- wise with few of his fellow pastors and laymen in his county and call a mass meeting at once for the purpose of adopting the following plan, or some similar one, for campaign i'll his county, to be fixed later, so as to make it simultaneous in every county.
 "1. Organize one county temp erance choir from the various churches in all towns in the county. Always secure a brass band, if possible.
 "2 Arrange for transportation by hack or otherwise for the band or choir to any and all points in the county. The friends of temperance should furnish the transportation.
 ''3 Select two or more speakers who can and will present the cause at a mass meeting in a forceful manner.
 "A. Call a mass meeting, con secutively, in every voting precinct in the county, always securing the evening hour, if possible. Have these mass meet ings addressed by only two speakers, each discussing the diff ferent phases of the subject, and neither speaking more than thirty minutes. Have the temperance choir or band open, ,intersperse and close these meetings with a few selections of good stirring temp erance music, always begin ming with prayer and closing with the benediction. The announce ment of these meetings should be kept prominently to the front in all county papers.
 "5. Every Sunday evening for at least three weeks before the election, all churches in every town should como together in a convenient place for union temperance mass meeting, at which one or more speakers should discuss the most im- portant questions preiaining to the cause in tnat particular locality. The enti.e day on Sun day before the election should be given to temperance sermons and addresses, closing; with great mass meeting at night.
 "A chairman should be select ed who will attend and preside a all these mass meeting through out the county. No church, lay
