FLUSHING BRIDE
 |S TAKEN AWAY Eloping Couple From Noble Lake, Pursued by Irate Grandfather of the Girl and Located.
WEDDING PRECEDED
Old Gents Arrival, Howerer-Excit. ing Scene at the Hotel Je!fcrsOn- Bride Taken Back Home and Groom Went Along, Too.

After his youthful granddaush- ter, Belle Isaacs, eloped to this city and was married by Justice J. P. Knox to Steve Driver Payne, his employe Saturday, a MT. Isaacs, the girls grandfather, came to Pine Bluff armed with a big club and after locating the couple, took the blushing bride away from the groom and made her return to their home, at Noble Lake At first it looked as if there would be tragedy, but friends prevailed on the old gentleman to consider the matter and trouble was ayerted.
 Miss Isaacs, who is apparently not over 15 years old, and one of the witnesses at the wedding stated that she was only 16, came to Pine Bluff Saturday afternoon on the Iron Mountain train, accompanied by Mir. Payne, who is but 23. They came direct from Noble Lake, this county, and without telling their relatives or friends of their inten- tion, went to the office of Couty Clerk Jesse R. Core in the court house for license. The license was issued by Deputy County Clerk Curran Nichol, after the young man made an affidavit stating that the girl was Is years old. They were accompanied by Harry Gold stein. After securing the license they went to the Hub clothing store where Justice Knox was called and pronounced the ceremony.
 Mr. and Mrs. Payne then went to the Hotel Jefferson, where the groom registered as "S. Driver and wife, Memphis, Tenn'' They were assigned to a room and almost im- mediately after they had been shown their apartents. the grand father of the youthful bride walked into the hotel and demanded to be shown to the bridal chamber. He was accompanied by his daughter and her husband.
 Soon after the trio got into the

THE SENATORIAL
 FIGHT |S WARM Jack Bernhardt, Who Op- poses x. o. Pindall De- clares His Election Is 3 Certainty.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
On ill Desha and Drew-EIectiVn to Be Held Saturday to Elect Sue. cessOr to Late Senator Howard RObb of Arkansas City.

Jack" Bernhardt, editor of the Dumas News, was business wis., ltor in the city this morning. Just at present Jack is in the po- litical limelight as a candidate for state senator from the Seventeenth district, composed of Drew and Desha counties, in opposition to X. O. Pindall of Arkansas City. If the reports of the situation in this district, which reach this city. are correct, and they come from rep utable sources, MT. Berrhardt will doubtless succeed to the seat in the senate made vacant by the death of Senator Howard Robb.
 When asked for some iuforma- tion regarding the campaign, Mr.I Bernhardt said: !
 'I concluded not to enter this face until two weeks ago. My op- ponent had then been candidate for two weeks. had expected Hon. orable P. B. Pla :&5urn of Desha county. he having been senior to me in the primary election a year ago, to enter the race. V..cn this gentleman declining to enter tho contest I made my formal announce ment and entered at once into an active canvass of tEe district have just concluded ny canvass in Drew county and am highly ;srati- fled at the suppor. which has been accorded me by her citizens. So tar l have been unable to make an ac- tive canvass in my home county, Desha, but expect to return im- mediately and devote the remain. der of my time before next Sat urday to my home people.
 Prom indications to the pres. ent time, I feel gratified and am confident that success will crown my efforts. No candidate has ever
 
 in his behalf than I have in the present race and should I win or lose, shall ever recollect their unselfsh efforts.
 While my opponent is already booming himself for the position of lieutenant governor, as made ap- parent in the columns of the Lit tie Rock Gazette of Sunday, it is very likely from the condition of affairs in the Seventeenth district at the present time and from pre- dictions of my friends that Pin dalPs boom will die a-bornin' and that he will not have the honor to represent the district in the senate during the present session.
 The senatorial election in Jef- ferson's neighboring counties is proving to be one of the most in- teresting ever held in the Seven teeth senatorial district. Judges have already been named and the battle of ballots will take place the coming Saturday. The entire dis trict has been flooded with cam paign literature by both sides and some speechmaking is also pro- grammed for the coming week.

JOHN HUBBARD
 WILL RECOVER Pine Bluff Boy Shot in Mar shall, Texas, Friday, Not Seriously Injured-Story of Shooting.
ASSAILANT IN JAIL
Met ianaghan Emptied His Revolver Began Shooting Before Huygard knew He Was Near-Huggard Warncd-In Marshall Hospital.

: Bluff boy, who was shot at Marshall, Texas, Friday by w. G. Mechanism, is not seriously injured. He is in hospital at Marshall and his assail- ant is in jail there. l The Marshall Messenger has the following account of the shooting:
 About 5:30 this afternoon Johnnie Huggard was standing in front of the Elgin barber shop, talking to a man, when w. c. McClanaghan came around the corner, north of him. and a friend said:
 Look out, Johnnie!' As he turned, Rockingham fired ,n him with a pistol.
 "Huggard started to run, but stum-
 bled and fell, and McClanaghan Il closed in on him and fired four more shots, three of which took effect, one ! in the left groin, one in the left forearm and one in the right cheek, ranging downward and shattering the jawbone.
 'Huggard's wounds are extremely painful, even dangerous, but not ne cessarily fatal. The wound in the jaw knocked out several teeth, and the bullet lodged in the jaw.
 After McClanaghan had emptie l his pistol, which was 45-calibre, he retired inside the Elgin, where he was afterwards taken in charge by Dep- uty Tom Steele and Bonie Cargill.
 "Huggard got up after the shooting and started up the street, but was taken by Fred Gum and others and taken to the Texas & Pacific hospital, where his wounds were dressed.
 Some say that the first shot was fired as Huggard turned, when told to look out, and that this shot hit him in the face and knocked him off the sidewalk
 "It will be remembered that on Feb- ruary last, Huggard shot and killed Walter s. McClanaghan Jr. very near where this shooting occurred.
 'Huggard was placed under a $2,000 bond, and his case set for yes- terday, but was continued.
 ''W. s. McClanaghan, father of Walter McClanaghan, has taken the killing of his son very. hard, and this second chapter of the tragedy is not surprising.
 sHuggard had been repeatedly warned to look out for him, and was returning frcn days work when the two Enex .;,edly met near he scene of the asedy of Februar; E Whether this was accidental Or not, no one knows.
 "A Messenger reporter was out at the hospital soon after Huggard ar rived and talked with him while on the table. He could not talk, but by signs showed all his wounds and un- derstood everything.
 MT. McClanaghan was seen in jail by Messenger reporter When asked if he had anything to say, he re- piled: I would be glad to give you any information in my power, but I suppose you know all there is to say He said that he preferred not to go into details. He was informed that Huggard's wounds were not fatal.
 Mrs. McClanaghan and one little granddaughter were at the jail wait ing to see MT. McClanaghan. Mrs. McC cClanaghan knew almost nothing of what had happened. except that there had been some shooting When told by the reporter that MT. Huggard's wounds were not fatal, she seemed extremely thankful"

Drowned

Drowned
Drives Into the Little Sioux
River Sunday and Meets
His Death
Little Sioux, Ia, April 81.
Especial to Daily Tim ar-
ley H. Pippitt, aged 26 years,
was taken from the river so
yards below the river bridge in
Little Sioux at $50 this, Sun
day. afternoon, after the river
had been dragged since IL
o'clock noon. He leaves a wife
and two children, the youngest
four weeks old. He was a
farmer living a mile north of
town. 1t appears he in COM
pany with Walter Wallace had
been drinking and started
home about 9 o'clock Saturday
night in a lumber wagon drawn
by a blind horse and one al
most blind. They evidently
drove nearly home and turning
around, drove back to town and
instead of striking the bridge,
drove right into the river.
Wallace appeared at the home
of Doc Kidder, wet, muddy and
dazed about 10o'clock Saturday
night and told a wild tale
about swimming the river and
two teams racing and al. went
into the river, but being dazed
his story was not credited.
This Sunday morning he said
it was all a d-o"~a and he re-
membered nothing. About ] 1
o'clock curious parties after
hearing the story, saw the
tongue of the wagon a little
way below water under the
bridge and a crowd gathered
and got the wagon out and
a search was commenced for
the body of Pippitt. 1t is not
known whether any others
were with them, but thought
not. The wagon hammer
broke and let the team loose
from the wagon. The team
has not been found yet.
The funeral occurred this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

At Fairfield Billy Sunday,

At Fairfield Billy Sunday,
the great base ball evangelist,
said, "You people are lousy
with money here why don't
you give more of it," And
then elevating his voice he
shouted, "Say, ladies, if your
old man won't give you any
thing for the collection go
through his pockets while he is
asleep" There is a discordant
note in that kind of preaching.
Sunday may need the money
but we do not believe that even
a preacher is justified in giving
such advice. Observer.
