Old Hickory Man Arrested.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Last Tuesday evening Nath
Simpson of Scotland arrested Rufe
Hawkins of Old Hickory upon a
charge of assault to murder. Ed
Edmon was the man he assaulted
and probably killed. The men
met at Bill Cleaver's and, with
some others, were drinking wine.
Cleaver refused to sell Edmon
wine, on account of his youth, and
he got mad and left, using some
rough talk as he went. Hawkins
tried to make him believe he was
a deputy sheriff and followed him
a quarter OF mile, when they f.
nally came to blows, Edmon using
an old pistol and Hawkins knife.
Hawkins was not hurt to speak OF,
while Edion is cut into the lungs,
besides several other stabs nearly

WORK OF |. R. CONFERENCE
Much Important Business Was
Transacted
Correlation of Methodist Educational
Institutions Noteworthy Action
of the Conference.

Little Rock, November 3d.
Today is the final session of the
Little Rock conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
which has been in its hfty-thlrd
annual session here for the past
week, and during the day Bishop
Hendrix will announce the APP
pointments, as we'll as the place for
the next meeting to be decided by
the members of the conference.
TIL. session has been notable one
for many reasons. 1t has been
marked all the way for the efforts
of the members to bring about
greater economy along all lines,
even the entertainment of those at
tending conferences in the future.
The different boards have reported
in favor of cutting down assess
ments as we'll as expenses, both
for the individual and the church
eS.
Another important matter has
been the re- admission of Rev. James
Thomas, one of the most tOrCetul
ministers who was ever a member,
and who was several years ago
made the object of sensational
charges, but later disproved them
and applied tor re-admlsslon after a
voluntary withdrawal.
The most important feature OF
the conference has been, however,
the correlation OF the church
schools in Arkansas. This plan
has been under discussion for the
past year, and was strongly op-
posed by Pres. J. H. Hlnemon OF
Henderson College, who failed and
then asked that the report be
unanimously accepted. By this
action Henderson College becomes
a secondary school for boys and
| Galloway a secondary school Tor
girls. Hendrix is thus made the
leading institution OF the state.
An endowment Of $500, 900 is to be
raised for Hendrix and Rev. James
Thomas is to be the financial agent
to secure this endowment. Hender-
son and Galloway now become
Junior colleges and will in the tu-
ture give diplomas, without the IS
suance of degrees.
Bishop Hendrix yesterday de
livered sermon in the morning al
the first Methodist church to q
crowd of at least 1000 persons, the
immense auditorium and galleries
of the church being packed.

Argenta, and Sixth ward in Little
Rock, which will make Pulaski
county dry if granted.
Rev. E. A. Tabor, field secretary
of the Antisaloon League, claims it
is only two years more OF liquor IN
Arkansas, at any rate, and In order
not to complicate matters any more
than necessary, he refused to sane
ton the filing of three mile petit
ton at Fort Smith. In that city it
was the intention of those fighting
license, to make the Trusty school
house, midway between Fort Smith
and Van Buren,, the central point
and secure the names of those who
favored prohibition within radius
of three miles. This would have
taken in Van Buren,, as we'll as the
greater portion of Fort Smith, and
there is no doubt but what it would
have been success.

HENDRIX WINS
FROM NORMAL
BIG CROWD SAW THE GAME
First Annual Thanksgiving Foot
ball
Was Won by Hendrix, IL to II, in Hard
fought Contest at Hendrix
Park
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

In hard-fought contest yester
day afternoon, Hendrix College
defeated the State Normal football
team at Hendrix park, p to II.
The game, which will be an an
nual Thanksgiving event in Con-
way, was witnessed by over 500
people, and attracted more interest
and enthusiasm than any similar
contest ever held here.
While the Hendrix team has
suffered severe reverses this year
and it is considered weaker than
for several years, yet it has some
seasoned material, and the game
fight put up by the raw recruits OF
the Normal, organized only a few
weeks ago, called forth the admir-
alton of the entire crowd.
Hendrix Scores First.
On tumble Hendrix put the
ball over for a touchdown early in
the first half and scored twice again
during the half. The second
touchdown was made by line
plunges and short end runs, while
a long end run by Robertson gave
the college their third touchdown.
Only one goal was kicked in the
three att :mpts, giving Henkrlx 10
for the half. In the same halt a
doublepass and a spectacular run by
Douglas gave the Normal touch
down, though the attempt to kick
goal failed and the half ended Hen
dirk 10, Normal 5.
Honors were about even, with a
little advantage TO the Normal, IL
the second half, the latter probably
being kept by penalties from hold
ing Hendrix to a scoreless halt.
The Normal kicked off and by
hercely bucking the line pushed
the ball over, Douglass kicking
goal. In the last few minutes OF
the play Hendrix plunged through
the Normal line for the last touch
down, kicking the goal and max
ing the final score p to II.
Both sides tried the forward
pass but it was successful in only
one attempt. Double passes were
very effective for the Normal
Brilliant playing by the two quar-
terbacks, Douglas and Robertson,
was one of the features OF the game
