POSSES PURSUE
 MANS ASSAILANT

Paragould, Dec. 29. - Posses with bloodhounds are pursuing James Trammell, who shot ana mortally wounded c. A. Gragg at the Elk Cafe here last night. Trammell, who escaped during the excitement following the shooting, is supposed to have ta- ken refuge in the bottoms east of Paragould, and he may not be found for several days, if at all. He is armed and a fight is feared if he is overtaken.
 The exact cause of the shoot ing is still a mystery. although there were a number of wit nesses to the affair. Both men are brakemen, Gragg, who lived at Wynne, having run on the Iron Mountain out of that place. They were drinking in the cafe, and it is said that Gragg showed Trammell a liquor circular, mak- ing some remark at the same time. Trammell apparently took offense at this and drawing his revolver struck Gragg over the head with the weapon and then shot him in the face. The bullet entered Gragg's face below the right eye and plowed it's way through his head. No attempt was made to stop Trammell's flight and he easily made his es- cape. Gragg cannot live, ac- cording to physicians.
 In response to requests from the authorities at Paragould, Governor Donaghey late yester- day afternoon issued a proclama. tion offering reward of $2OO for the arrest and conviction of Trammell.

CAR SHORTAGE
 THING OF PAST

The recent car shortage in this State is a thing of the past. Only few weeks ago, in fact, within the present month there were complaints now and then that the railroads could not fur nish the needed cars for the business that was being offered and today there is a sufficient supply of cars on the tracks of the railroads in this State to carry all the business offered.
 The slump in business has been remarkable, taking Into consideration the enormous vol ume of business the roads have been doing this fall and winter. For months the roads were up against it" to furnish a sufficient number of cars to take care of the business offered aand a few complaints were lodged with the railroad commission asking that the companies be compelled to furnish more cars. The roads were crowded with business on December 1st and on the 18th the conditions were almost the same, but by the 20th a notable falling off in business was noted. Today the freight movement over Arkansas railroads is per haps at the lowest point for months past.
 A slump in freight movement was not unexpected by the rail road officials and it was prepared for, yet the suddenness of the decline in movement is some what of surprise to some.
 Just how long this slump will continue can not now be foretold, but t h e general impression seems to be that the spring business will be necessary to bring about a revival sufficient to put the traffic back on it's former basis.

The campaign for governor promises to get started in earnest next week, Hon. O. burn c. Kavanaugh, candidate opposing Governor Donaghey for reelection, having announced that he will begin his formal campaign on the hustings next week.
 T shall invite Governor Dona- ghey to accompany me in a joint campaign over the State," said MT. Kavanaugh this morning,
 in order that we may discuss the issues of the campaign squarely. If he accepts we will then outline an itinerary ac. ceptab1e-to both. If he does not accept, then I think I shall make the campaign in accordance with what seems the most logical itin- erary to cover the State between this and the date for the pri- mary in March"
 MT. Kavanaugh announces that it is his desire to make as thorough joint canvass, should his invitation to Governor Dona- ghey be accepted, as will be pos sible within the time limit.
