The Carlisle independent., 1907-04-11
Hen. H. I. Hampton


 the Independent a tribute paid to Hon. H. T. Hampton, of Bonneville, Logan county, recen- tly elected secretary of the State Charity Board, by that able orator, noted jurist and christian gentleman, Judge J. H. Evans. We do this for the reason that we know Mr Hamp- ton and know every word Judge Evans says about him is true and because we believe that the good qualities of men should be told while they are yet alive and not entirely after they are dead. For several years we were a member of Mr. Hampton $ family and more happy or congenial one we never met. Whatever measure of success the editor of the Independent has attained has been due large ly to his friendly interest and kind advice while under his tutorage and in his employ. He is our friend, occupies d warm place in our affections and this is our excuse for reproducing the following article:
 Mr. Hampton was on last Monday elected Secretary of the Board of State Charitable Insti tutions. This board has the management and control of the State School for the Blind, the Deaf Mute Institute and the State Hospital for Nervous Di- seases and the position of Secre- 5ary is most important one md one filed with grave and ur- gent responsibilities. The new board appointed under Gov. Lit ties administration began it's la- bors Monday and among the first things done was to elect MT Hampton as it's Secretary.
 Mr. Hampton is so well known in Western Arkansas, and in fact throughout the State that any extended notice of his life and services would be a work of su- pererogation.
 He was reared on a farm near Bonneville, Arkansas and enter ed the print shop of Rev. F. M. Moore, who was then conduct ing the Bonneville Enterprise in the old town of Bonneville in 1876. The old building in which Mr. Hampton learned the art preservative" is still standing, and within few feet of the pres ent Democrat office in the new town of Bonneville, so that in this age not only men move, but houses move or are moved to keep up with the progress of the world and as part of the mul- tifOrm changes of life.
 In 1879, while a young man, Mr. Hampton intermarried with Miss Hattie Sipe, who has loved him, sewed on h's buttons and done her best to keep him in the middle of the road ever since. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton are yet young and their children love and bless them.
 Mir. Hampton has always been "a democrat of the never faltering type. What the wis dom of his party determines shall be done is good enough for him. No day was ever too long and hot, no night was ever too dark and stormy for him to exc cute the party mandates. Since childhood he has never lived out of sight of that mass of imposing grandeur known to us as the Mount Magazine and something like it's owh mightiness and sub limity has been wrought into the framework Of his own life and character lofty, true and i'm movable.
 Since 1880 Mr. Hampton has been in the newspaper business on his own account at Paris, at Greenwood, at Altus, at Ozark and at Bonneville. He is splen- did newspaper man, able, fear loss and dianrirn in tinr Tn him

BRYAN AND GUFPEY CONFER

Pittsburg, March 1L-Loeal Democrats
are excited over a three-hour conference
held early this morning between William
J. Bryan and Col James Gufiey, Demo-
cratic boss Of Pennsylvania, and a mem
ber OF the Democratic national executive
committee. Mr.. Bryan lectured here last
evening TO an audience which included
every local Democrat of prominence from
Mayor Guthrie down.
After the lecture Mr.. Bryan went to
the Duquesne Club, where he remained
with Guffey until o'clock this morning.
Gufey has always been an anti-Bryan
Democrat, and local Democrats to-day
declare that they have every reason TO
believe that Bryan viii have the support
of Guffey at the next national convta-
tion. should he be a candidate for The
Presidential nomination.
While in Pittsburg Mr. Bryan had re-
fused TO grant any interviews on the
interstate commerce investigations or
other national topics. When pressed for
some statement, he said:
i viii NOT discuss any national issues
at the present time. President Roose-
yelt has expressed mis- opinions on the
great questions of the present day, and
If I were 10 say anything on the same

proved in legal proceedings. revelations
concerning the wholesale plundering of
the rights OF stockholders in the North
ern Pacific Railway are about to be pre-
sented to Attorney General Bonaparte.
In the secrecy of a lawyers private af-
fairs, the truth has come out. bit by bit.
through hearings in Nee York before an
examiner appointed by a Federal court.
Men Of the highest prominence in the
official world have been examined and
cross-examined, and all the records Of
the Northern Pacine's reorganization have
been laid bare
The mighty men Of the street have

Special to The Washington Herald
Dover, Del, March 17.-FolIowing up
the elew Of yesterday afternoon, that Of
seeing a slOop OF the Marvin farm
which is supposed to have contained the
kieaappers and possibly the child Horace
on board. the Pinkerton men and the
usual number OF newspaper reporters
again visited the Marvin farm, Bay
Meadows" and Kits Hammock with the
hope Of seeing the sloop make its ap-
pearance, but after several hours wait
nothing was seen of the strange craft
The attention of the detectives, how
ever, and others OF the party was drawn
TO what appears TO have been a freshly
made FIRE among the cedar trees en- the
Marvin farm, in line with the path 10
the marsh and the boat landing on the
farm. Charred embers, evidently from a
recent fire. were seen strewn about the
clump Of trees, and alongside of them
was piece of large drainpipe, which.
no doubt. had been used as a seat while
they were warming themselves.
That the fire was made by the abduc-
tors OF Horace Marvin seems very prob
able By the detectives, who place eonsid-
cradle importance In the find Il is sup
posed that the men who we1e around the
fire and keeping watch on developments
became frightened and beat a hasty re-
treat when pursued by the officers. who. il
IS believed, were close on their tracks.
Made Hasty Flight.
The landing place Of the boat in which
the men evidently were was fully one-half
mile south of Greenbank Point, in front
Of the shanty on the farm. Here il is be-
lieyed the kidnapDers first made their
headquarters. As further evidence that
The men in the boat landed. an iron oar
lock was found in close proximity to the
landing, and being apparently a new one,
with no signs of any rust is all the more
convincing that the men were in q hurry
to leave. Fresh footprints were also seen
and tracked from the shanty 70 the land
ing.
The usual number OF officers and Gu
TiOus people again visited the Marvin
farm to-day. expecting 10 secure some
information of the boy Horace, who has
now been gone two weeks tomorrow.
Dr. Marvin shows no more signs OF hope
of recovering the boy now than he did a
week ago, frankly admitting that he
fears his boy has been stolen for no good
cause and will not be returned 10 him.
Other members of the family, however,
take a different view.
Miles Standish, who remained here to-
day with his wife and child, has returned
to New York.
