Mrs. White Given Damages.

In the Crawford County Circuit
Court at Van Buren, Saturday morn
ing, a jury in the case of Mrs. Laura
c. White of Argenta VS.. the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern Railway
Company, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $500 or just
half the amount asked.
The suit was brought to recover
damages from the defendant company
for the death of the plaintiffs son,
John White, employed in the capacity
of brakeman, who several months ago
was killed in a wreck between Van
Buren, and Little Rock Failure of
the railway company to equip its en-
gines with electric headlights was set
up as the primal cause of the young
mans death, and this, Col. S. X. Chew,
for the plaintiff, was able to establish
in the minds of the jury.
The case will be appealed to the
Supreme Court.

Family of Ten Is unhurt.

Belated reports from the several
sections in western Arkansas which
were touched by the two tornadoes of
last Monday afternoon make neces-
sary a revision and reduction of the
death list as first reported.
Owing to the prostration of the tele-
phone and telegraph wires the gath
ering of authentic information has
been difficult and the difficulty was in
creased by the fact that the great
est less of life was reported into the
towns by people who had heard only
first reports.
Richard Hill. who was reported
killed near Mulberry, was in the
woods when the tornado swept by.
but was not hurt The report that he
was killed grew out of the fact that
he was in the track of the storm and
did not return home for many hours
after the storm passed.
The death list, unless augmented by
the death of some of the injured or
later reports from interior points, is
as follows:
Mrs. John Rosson and two chill
dren, Watalula, Franklin county.
Porter Matthews, II years old, near
Mena.
Three-months-old babe of Mr., and
Mrs. ]. A. Wood, near Mena.
- Hawkins, a woman, near Nc.

INFANCY OF DIAMOND CUTTING.
Art 10 Now Believed to Date from the
Fourteenth Century.

It Is said that before the fourteenth
century no one knew how to cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness. but not
greatly admired for beauty. There
is a tradition that a gentleman jeveler
in Flanders, Louis van Berghem. dis
covered the art OF cutting diamond
with diamond. But 1t is probable that
he only made some notable advance In
the art. since associations Of diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
fishing of a huge diamond belonging
to Charles the Bold. Charles was so
delighted with the result that ne
rewarded the artist literally. and de-
clared that the diamond would now
serve him for a bedroom lamp. The
jewel, which was found on Charles
body after the battle of Nancy. is still
in existence, and celebrated under the
name Of the Sancy diamond.-Youth's
