PRACTICAL JOKER
Carries his Fun Just a Little Bit
Too Far.

Ihere are jokes and practical
jokers' but the person that will tele-
phone to daily paper a plain down
right lie just to get what he would
term joke on his friends, is about
the meanest man alive.
Yesterdays Mirror contained a
story to the effect that Mr.. George
Roe and Miss Margaret Lynn had
been welded Sunday at Columbus.
The reporter took the story In good
faith from o personal friend of the
above named parties. The STORY
was printed and was untrue.
Naturally both Mr.. Roe and Miss
Lynn are greatly humiliated over
the false report. and the Mirror.
gladly tells It's part in the mat

man to tell bis. A joke Is a Joke
but II Ia sad TO relate that some
real bright people do not know
when they overstsp the bounds of
common decency. A good sound
tbreshing Is too good for any person
who will cause to be printed the
story OF marriage which never
took place. just for O Joke. The
name OF the guilty party is withheld

interest to many Marion people who

complete duplicate Of the famous

1.-THE plaintiff introduced the rec
|ords of the common pleas court at
Marion, showing that just short
time before he married the plaintiff,
he filed suit for divorce from Clara
NJ. Adams, whose maiden name was
Hoffman. The decree was not grant
ed until September, several months
after he had married the plaintiff.
This evidence convicted the defend
ant Of bigamy in the mind Of the
court. The plaintiff testified that
the defendant had assured here that
he had obtained divorce from his
first wife. She did not find out the
truth until after he deserted her,
about seven months after their mar
riage. Since then she has not heard
from him. The court granted q
decree and restored her to her maid

BAD FRE|GHT
 WRECK AT GRACE Brakeman Walter Muston Of Stuttgart Badly Injur- ed and Others Had a Mar row Escape From Death.
ENGINE OVERTURNED
Twelve Freight Cars Also DeraiIed- Traffic Crippled and Cotton Belt Railroad Suffered Big Loss by the Accident.

A bad freight wreck, in which Brakeman Walter Muston of Stutt- gart, was painfully injured; Engi- neer C. A. Hunt and Fireman F. Armstrong of this city, had narrow escapes: an engine overturned and twelve box-cars derailed and more or less damaged, occurred at Grace. a station ten miles south of the city at midnight last night.
 The wrecked train was an extra freight, south bound, and was mak- ing good time when she collided with the side of north -bound freight, which had taken the siding at Grace. The north-bound freight evidently was not in the clear. When the big engine of the extra freight struck the freight cars of the "dead train" it tumbled side wise and turned over in an em- bankment. opposite the siding. En- gineer Hunt and Fireman Arm strong saw the danger immediately and both leaped out of the engine cab, falling out of reach of the en- zine and cars, which were piled in a heap down the embankment. Brakeman Muston also grasped the situation quickly and jumped from the train. He was caught be- meath falling coal from the tender and although he was painfully in jured, his prompt action probably saved his life. Muston was brought to this city immediately and taken to the Arlington hotel on East Third avenue, where Doctor A, W. Troupe, the local Cotton Belt sur geon, attended him. His injuries consist of bruises about the head, face and body and a badly wrenched knee He will be taken to his home at Stuttgart tonight. His injuries are not considered serious, al though he will be laid up for sev- eral weeks.
 The wrecker was sent from the local Cotton Belt shops immedi- ately after the accident and after it's crew worked for several hours, the track was cleared.

HIGGINS TAKEN
 AT MARION, ARK. Negro Who Slashed l.. G. McFalls, White Man, at Humphrey, Under Arrest In crittenden County. {,
PHILPOT GOESFORHIM
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollar Reward Was Offered For His An. prehrnSi0n Postal Cards Sent OnE Were Effective.
 4

Sheriff Lewis of Marion, Crittenden county, Ark, believes that he has Will Higgins, the negro who slashed l.. c, McFalls, a white man, at Humphrey Saturday night with a razor, in cus- tody at that place.
 Sheriff C. NJ. Philpot of this city this morning received a telegram from Sheriff Lewis in which he stated that he had Higgins in jail there. He said he was positive that he was the right
 man. Sheriff Philpot wired him to hold the negro and he left this morn
 ing for Marion to bring him back to Pine Bluff.
 After cutting McFalls his assailant made his escape. A posse of citizens searched the surrounding country all of Saturday night, but failed to locate him. Monday the citizens of Hum- phrey offered a reward of $100 for his capture and Sheriff Philpot added $25 l to that amount. Postal cards, bearing the description of the fugitive, were sent to all county and township off, cials in Arkansas and to chiefs of po- l lice and other officials outside of the state. Higgins has scar on his neck
 and nose and these are what probably
 led to his arrest and identification at
 Marion.
 McFalls was badly cut about the body, head and face. It was at first i thought he would die but he is said to be recovering, although it will be sev- eral weeks before he will be able to leave his bed.
