SPECIAL COURT
 TO TRY NEGRO

Clinton, May PA special term of court to try Abe Greene, who barely escaped being lynched after thirteen-year- old white girl had identified him as the negro who had criminally assaulted her, will convene here Monday or Tuesday to give the negro a prompt trial, on a charge the pen alty of which is death under the statutes of Arkansas.
 The daughter ot a prosperous farmer named Webb, living near Formosa, who was the victim, is recovered sufficiently to appear in court against Greene. Greene says he will be able to establish an alibi and professes to be anxious for a speedy trial. The assault was committed Monday, May 10, near here, as the girl was going along a secluded country road. He attacked her and she screamed frantically. Her cries were heard by farmland, who started toward the place, but the negro had silen- ced her in the meantime and the farmer thinking he had been mis- taken went back to work. She re. gained consciousness some time later and spread an alarm. She had been checked into uncon- ciousness by means of her garters having been twisted about her neck.
 She said one of the Greene ne- groes was the one who attacked her and she later identified Abe Greene as the guilty one. A mob formed here to lynch him, but he was taken to Searcy county and placed in the Marshall jail for safe keeping.

GRADUATING EXERCISES HELD
Successful Session of Central
 College Ends.
Diplomas Awarded to Graduates after Brilliant Address by pr. T.
 B. Johnson.

Last nights exercises ended the session of Central College and one of the most enjoyable series of commencement programs ever pre- sented here. The graduating ex- ercises began at 8:3o with a chorus by the glee club, following which Rev. J. J. Hurt introduced Dr. Tillman B. Johnson as the speaker of the evening. Dr. John son did not con6ne himself to any particular theme. He referred to the great agitation in recent years to shorten time and space and the necessity of keeping in touch with the great throbbing heart of the world in every department of life. The keynote of it was that all things were worth while only in the faithful and efficient doing of the CommoneSt things of life with a we'll defined purpose-build- ing up character by doing, learn ing and growing. He defined ed ucation as developing character and large usefulness; the more in- tellect the more heart, and the more the mind is educated the bet ter prepared are we to keep in touch with mankind. The ad- dress was not long and was so in- teresting that everyone was sorry when Dr, Johnson concluded

White River Gives Up Last of Its Dead
 Year after Disaster.

Clarendon, May 27.-After the lapse of year the river has given up the body of Miss Alma Peete. the last of the seven young people who lost their lives following an ill-fated pleasure journey in a gas- oline launch. This tragedy turned Clarendon into city of mourning a year ago this month, the young people having gone to their doom tue night of May I9, 1908. Head less and armless, the corpse rose to the top of the stream near Mt. Adams, 25 miles below Clarendon, after it had been liberated by the current from the shifting sands of the bottom of the river which have been its grave for months.
 Remnants of dainty slippers and silk stockings were the only means of identification. The upper DOT tion of the body was a mele skel- eton but the limbs, retained the flesh which looked like chalk and would crumble at touch.
