Neoroes Held for Old Murder.

Five negroes are in jail at Newport charged with the murder of Joe Cort- ney, a prominent farmer and mill man, who was found dead upon the road near Shoffner, his home, on the night of October ?, 1905. It is alleged that one of the negroes, when he thought he was on his death bed, ad- mitted that he and his brother had murdered MT Cortney because of a grudge which they bore him for whip" ping them when they were boys. The two negroes implicated others in the murder of Courtney and all have been arrested.
 The negroes arrested are: Levi Bordens and Wes Barher of Lincoln county, Asa Borders, Chapman Hen drison and Arthur Morris of Jackson county. Jeff Morris, father of Arthur Morris. is also in prison on the charge of perjury in attempting to shield his son.
 When the body of MT. Cortney was found it was presumed that he had met his death in a runaway. How ever, two girls who were in the road at the time declaring that they had seen band of negroes rush upon and assault MT. Cortney
 All five negroes are held on the charge of murder in the first degree.

Spirit Lake Is to Be Restocked.

Henry Moore, Jr., president Of Red river levee district No. 1, has received notice from the war department that the contract will at once be let to "bulkhead" Spirit Lake in Lafayette county. This lake was nearly destroy ed during the overflow, which devas- tated the Red river bottoms last spring. The end of the lake was near the river and the rise caused the bank to cave until it reached the end of the lake and when the waters receGed a great deal of the water Of the lake flowed out.
 This caused much distress among the sportsmen of southwest Arkansas, as Spirit Lake was the most noted fishing place in this part of the state. MT. More at once took the matter up with the war department with the view of having the damage repaired, and after much careful examination and deliberation the department has concluded to repair the damage. A bulkhead will be built and the levee line will be strong enough to resist any flood of the Red river.
 The government fishery at Nam moth Spring has agreed to send 70 900 black bass for Spirit Lake early in November.

Cotton Shippers Angry.

Cotton shippers throughout this sec tion are very bitter against the rail roads for ordering the twenty-three per cent rise in general freight rates, which take effect on Thursday, Sep tember "A. There are rumors that their exchanges, in the next two or three days, will take decisive action toward arousing concerted opposi- tion and applying for an injunction to prevent the rise from going into effect before the state railroad com mission has passed upon the legality of the change in schedule.
 The rise, they urge, is unprece- dented and evidently chosen without regard for the shippers. They point out the rise in Texas, which was only 10 per cent, and ask why Arkansas should be charged so much more for a similar service.

Lads Rigging Phone Are Horribly
 Burned.

Clarence Turner, son of Q. o. Tur- ner, anG his cousin, Lawrence Turner, son of James L. Turner, were the victims of a frightful aeident at Tex arckana Saturday afternoon. The lads, who are about 10 years of age, concluded to rig up a telephone in an alley near their homes, and getting some wire, were in the act of throw ing it over and across an electric light wire which was heavily charged, when the entire voltage was thrown into their bodies Clarence had the wire wrapped about his wrist and his arm was burned almost entirely off. They were given prompt medical at tention, but both are still in a pre- carious condition and may die.
 The fathers of the boys are old time citizens and prominent whole sale merchants.

NUMBER 22.
Complete Returns Show Big Increase.

Complete Returns Show Big increase.
 Complete returns from Mondays election which have been received up to the present time confirm the early prediction that the total vote cast in Mondays election was larger than that cast two years ago, and that the Democratic majority would be at least as large as that received by Governor Little.
 Complete returns from sixteen coun- ties. official and unofficial, give Don aghey 25,713 and Worthington 1d144, a plurality of 15,569 for Donaghey. These same counties in 1906 gave Little 22,779 and Warrington 9,468, plurality of 13,311 for Little.
 If the remainder of the returns show the same gains, the total vote cast in Mondays election will be found to be approximately t75,O0O, as com pared with 151, ,S48 in 1906, and Don aghey's plurality over Warrington will be nearly 75,000. Complete re- turns may decrease these figures, but the indications are that both the total vote cast and the Democratic majority will break all previous records.
 The full returns which have been re- ceived show marked increase in the vote for the Socialist candidate for governor over that of two years ago. If the present gain is maintained ia the counties which have not yet re- ported, the indications are that the Socialist vote will be increased from 2,185, the number of votes cast for Dan Hogan for governor in 1906, to more than 10000.
 Thirteen counties from which the Socialist vote has been reported give Jones, the nominee of that party for governor, a total of 1,249 votes. The same counties, in 1906, gave Hogan 349 votes. The Socialists have made big gains in several counties. In Polk county their vote jumped from 34 in 1906 to 222 In Independence county it was increased from 34 to IA.

rexarkana Has Two Chiefs of Police.

A sensation was caused on the Ar kansas side of TeXarkana Thursday by the suspension from office of Chief of Police Towery by Mayor Beding- field who appointed Policeman Walter Crowell in his place, pending trial be- fore the city council. The charges against the chief are inefficiency and a persistent and long-eontinued fail- ure to perform the duties of his office.
 Towery ignored the mayors order for his suspension and is continuing 10 perform the functions of his posi- tion, with the result that Texarkana, Ark, now has two chiefs of police, both claiming exclusive authority. The city council met in special ses- sion Thursday night to hear the charges against Towery, but the hear ing was not completed
 Feeling is strong over the matter. Towery is an old Confederate soldier, and has many strong partisans. Both sides are represented by several able attorneys.

Case May Wait Until December.

Manager A. R. Bragg of the Little Rock Merchants Freight Bureau Thursday announced that he did not think the hearing of the case of Little Rock shippers against the trunk lines of Arkansas, in which the railroads are charged with discriminating in freight rates between Mississippi river crossing points and Little Rock, would be heard by the Interstate Commerce Commission before December.
 Our case is No. 1709 on the dock et," stated Manager Bragg, and l do not think it will be heard before De- cember at least. It will be heard, of course, in Arkansas"
 Meanwhile the new freight rates ordered by the railroads will go into effect. The new Memphis freight rates went into effect September l., and the new rates from St. Louis, Mo-, will go into effect September 24. The shippers cannot prevent the railroads from putting into effect the new and increased rates, as they did not bring an injunction suit.
 In the suit filed by the shippers they charge that the railroads have . in creased freight rates on commodities in the past two years to the extent of 23 per cent.
