Action Against Iron Mountain Exoected
 to Test Operation ot Act

A damage suit for SlO,OOO which has been filed in the Jeffer- son county circuit court against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company is creating considerable interest in railroad circles and also among attorneys of the state, for the reason that 1t is the first suit to be filed in any court in Arkansas under the provisions of the new fellow-servants law which was recently enacted by the Arkansas leg islature.
 The suit is filed by Green Be- gan, the father of Walter Began, a 7-year-old boy, who was injured at Morrell, Novem Der 20, 1900, while acting as head brake man on an Iron Mountain freight traiu. The father filed the suit because of the boys age. He charges that the injuries, which are alleged to have rendered him a cripple for life, were sustained through the negligence of the compauy's employees.

A lAMENTABCE OCCUR
RENEE.
Estee emed Weybridge Citizen, Be-
coming Suddenly Insane, At
tempts Self If-Destruction, Also
Poisoning Infant Children.

Henry B. Carrier attempted suicide
and the killing of two young children on
Sunday last, at his home in Weybridge.
His wife and eldest child were absent at
the time and on her return found him
with cash in his throat and bleeding
profusely, lying on his bed with two
children, one about four years old and
the other small infant lying near him.
Portions of paris green were found upon
the bed and also on the children's clothes,
making it plain he had given doses of
the poison to the children and also to
himself. Mrs. Carrier, who was accom-
panied by her sister, Immediately called
the neighbors by telephone, who came
promptly, and DR.. Noble was summoned.
The children were treated for the poison
and also Mr.. Carrier, who was uncon-
scious. The reason for the act is as
cribed to fit of dependency caused by
the condition of his finances and exces-
sive labor during the past season, which
had been much beyond his endurance.
Mr.. Carrier is a native of Weybridge
and young man whose exemplary life
was well known to all. He had been a
trusted employee of the firm Of Thomas
& Weeks for several years in this village
before he moved back to Weybridge,
and had the respect and confidence of
his employers in marked degree. His
health failed and he purchased the Dea-
con Sampson farm. owned later by Rob-
ert Bowles, lately deceased, and re-
moved there year ago He has been
an honored member of one of the local
churches, was Sunday School superinten-
dent in Weybridge and for number of
years held other responsible church Of
fees there. Nothing but a mental de-
rangement could or would ihave caused
his acts. The profound sympathy of
hosts of friends all over the county goes
out to Mrs. Carrier in her great trouble.
At the last accounts Mr.. Carrier and
one of the children seemed likely to re-
cover. The youngest child had been ill
for some time before the poisoning took
place and some doubts are still felt over
the survival of this child.

Gates of Franklin called the meeting to

seiectmen. A feature of the morning

State law, and many questions were
asked relative to the building and main
tenance of good roads. At the after
noon session Commissioner Gates gave
an instructive talk on the building of
stone and gravel roads under the new
State law. Nearly every town in the
county have taken advantage Of the new
law and have made application for their
respective shares of the fund provided.
The amount called for amounts TO about
81 800 and like sum voted by the towns
makes 1000 to be expended this year in
permanent work in addition to the regu-
lar 8 per cent tax which amounts to
about $4,000 This will give Addison
county $40 900, or about double the usual
amount
