GREWSOME FIND
 ON CACHE RIVER
HEADLESS SKELETON IN TRUNK WHICH WAS LODGED IN CANE BRAKE ON ISLAND.
AUTHORITIES WERE NOTIFIED
Party of Hunters Made Discovery, but No Means of Identification Were Found-Skull Is Only Miss ing Member and Bones Were Jum- bled Together.

Little Rock.-The grewsome find of a headless skeleton in trunk was made by Henry Leigh of Litt.e Rock wniIe hun,ing squirrels on an island in the Cache river six miles above Bras field, all the bones ol the skele- ton being huddled in the trunk, the skull being the only missing mem Der.
 How the trunk and contents got on the island, which is densely cov- cred with canebrake, is conjectural. It might have been carried there by extremely high water, the only other explanation being that II was the body of a murdered man which had been secreted there.
 MT Leigh and J. B. Nicely visited the hunting camp of A. J. Rauch and D. E. Barbee on the Cache river, be- ing carried to the camp in motor boat. Mir Leigh crossed the river to hunt squirrels on an island which is thiok.y covered with canebrake. One hundred feet inland he came across the trunk, which he broke open. In it was the skeleton of man, the bones being jumbled together.
 The partys guide was unable to account for the presence of the trunk and the skeleton. which he concluded must have f!oated down the river during flood times and lodged on the island The Little Rock men before returning home in formed the local officers of the find.

GERMANS HOLD CELEBRATION.
Teutons of Arkansas Given Welcome
 in the Capital City.

Little Rock--A sign bearing the word Wi koplmen," entwined with German flags stretched across the entrance to Turner hall, at Com merce and Fourteenth streets, aptly expressed the sentiment of the city of Little Rock toward the German American Federation of Arkansas.
 The city fairly outdid itself Mon day, Oct. {, to welcome to the capi- tai city the sturdy Teutons who have rendered such valuable service in the development of the state. The red, white and black of Germany was everywhere in evidence. Practically every business house in the city was decorated in honor of German day. German and American flags waved from nearly every building in the downtown business district-the col ors of the fatherland entwined with the red, white and blue of the adopt ed country. Many residences were similarly decorated. Half the yehi- cles seen on the streets bore Ger man and American flags. Every where was the spirit of welcome.
 And the sons and daughters of Deutschland made the most of the fact that it was their day. Assem- bled at Turner hall 800 strong, they enjoyed themselves as only Germans can, with the old songs which re- called happy days in their native land.
 The festivities continued through out Tuesday, and parade two and one-half miles in length was one of the most impressive features of the celebration. At Turnverein hall the visiting guests enjoyed themselves to the utmost
 The program included addresses by distinguished orators, exercises by members of the various societies and songs of the fatherland
 Delegates were present f om throughout the state and the freedom of the capital city was granted the visitors.

MYSTERY AT TEXARKANA.
Finding of Head and Body Lead to
 Different Theories.

Different Theories.
 Texarkana-The mystery surround ing the human skull that was found in the north outskirts of the city limits, just south of Braumiler's farm, remains unsolyed. The body 10 which the head belonged was found about 130 yards east of where the head was found the day before, in small branch or ravine, and midway between the two the miss ing portion of the skull, which had been sawed from the toa, was found.
 There is a fracture on one of the ribs, which looks as 1T t were made by a bu let. There is also a place on the skull above the eyes that looks as if it might have been caused by a blow from a heavy instrument
 A few people think there was foul play in the case, but the more general conviction seems tc be that the body, after having been used by medical students, was dumped where who was paid to take it out and bury it. This opinion is shared by Jus tice of the Peace Rag and, who is sitting the facts in the case. This heory is further strengthened by the finding of the skeleton of an infants hand near the body, indicating that two subjects were used by the sup posed medical students, and that the baby's hand in some way got placed in the box with the body and was dumped out with it at the place where both were found.

DELAWARE PLANT
LOOKS VERY GOOD
Marion Men Want to Cap
ture the Industry.
Harold Traction Manufacturing
Company is Very PrOmis- =: =.
ing Concern.

An effort is being put forth by a
number of local men to secure a new
industry for Marion, to succeed and
occupy the plant of the old Marion
Manufacturing company. The Har-
old Traction Manufacturing company
makers of traction engine, propelled
by gasoline motor, and at present
located at Delaware, is the concern
that is sought at present.
The plant of the company was Wis
tied, Friday, by a number Of local
men. The work of the engine manu-
factured by the company was demon
strated and the Marionites were thor
oughly impressed with its merits.
It is planned to organize stock COM
pany and manufacture the engines
here. The company also makes the
Square Deal' belt power baling
presses. At the present time Mr..
Harold, the inventor, owns the great
er part of the stock in the company,
but limited means will not enable
him to manufacture all of his COM
pleted product. Most OF the parts are
made in other factories and assem-
Ibled in his small plant at Delaware.
The Marion men who have investi-
gated the project claim that it is an
excellent opportunity for investment
and II brought to Marion will help
mu,h in the industrial betterment.
The Marion delegation visited the
classic city, Friday at the solicita-
tion OF members Of the company,
who appear very anxious to locate in
this city.

Circuit Judges Say They
Caunot Sell Beer by Case.
COURTS AT VARIANCE
Supreme Court Must Decide
the Question.
Attorneys for Both Factions Express
Confidence In Winning in the
Highest Court.

A decision of much interest here
in connection with the selling of beer
in case lots by a brewing company,
was rendered yesterday in the circuit
court at New Philadelphia, upholding
a decision of the court of common
pleas and denying to the brewery the
right of sale in dry territory.
The case at issue was one in which
Walter Scheu, a brewery owner, was
fined 5000 for selling beer by the
case from the brewery. The conten-
tiOn of the company was that the
Rose law does not apply 10 sales in
quantities by a brewing company, or
manufacturer. The case will be car
ried to the supreme court for deci-
sion.
Recently Judge b. G. Young In
the court OF common pleas held that
the sale of beer in case lots by the
manufacturer for home consumption,
or family use, is not contrary to the
Rose law provisions. The Law and
Order league has appealed this case
to the circuit court and much inter-
est is being taken in the way in which
the circuit court will decide the case.
In any event it will go to the su-
preme court.
Breweries all over the state have
been working on this theory and some
of the best attorneys in the state
claim that the decision made by
Judge Young will be sustained in
the supreme court, while the case at
New Philadelphia will be reversed
The attorneys for the temperance peo-
pie, just as able as their brothers
maintain that the New Philadelphia
circuit court will be sustained.

Policemen Find Sure Signs
of Something Stronger"
A BASKET OF BOTTLES
Dumped in the Back Yard
by Coy Maidens.
A Little Lark on Which a Street
Scraper was Appropriated Leads
to Peculiar Disclosures.

Two prominenS young social lead
ers OF the city were placed in q very
embarrassing position, Friday night
when they were trapped by three po-
licemen in the house conducted by
Mrs. Nettie Edwards, on Herr street
The patrolmen Immediately recogniz-
ed them and after listening to their
pleadings for some few minutes al
lowed them to so their way. The
incident was very important and con-
tanned many features. The police
started out to recover street scrap
er They ended up by securing evid-
ence of "bootlegging" and discovering
that the supposed thieves were the
young society men who were located
In the home of Mrs Nettie Edwards.
1t all happened THIS way. The two
society men, heretofore referred TO-
had two guests. The guests brought
big automobile with them and Fri
day night, the party proceeded to
celebrate as much as is possible in
dry town.
When spinning by the West End
fire department shortly after nine
o'clock, one of the party spied an old
hand street scraper sitting against
the wall of the building. A. sugges-
tion from one of the semi-intoxicated
group caused the machine to be
brought to a stop and the scraper
was placed in the auto. One of the
fremen noticed the act and immedi-
tely summoned the police.
Forgetting that they had taken
the scraper, the quartette circled
around the West End several times
and finally drew up at the house of
Mrs. Nettie Edwards. The police
had the number of the auto and ex
perlenced little trouble in locating II.
Officers Wilhelm, Thompson and
Hostetter were on the trail. Fear
ing that the men might escape
through the rear door, two officers
guarded the entrance while one
hammered on the front door. There
was considerable commotion on the
inside and then Mrs. Edwards OPEN
ed the door and requested the Of
ticer to wait a few minutes.
During the short period which fol-
lowed two women made exit at the
rear door and the officers standing
in the shadows, saw them drop a |
basket OF bottles. The patrolmen
Immediately took possession of the
basket and it was found to contain
seven partially filled bottles of beer.
The young men were not a little
bit frightened when the patrolmen
surrounded and accused them OF
stealing a street scraper. They i'm
mediately informed the authorities
of the place where they had ditched
1t. The scraper was returned TO the
fire department and the basket of
bottles was taken to police head
quarters.
Saturday morning patrolman
Frank Wilhelm swore out affidavits
against Mrs. Nettie Edwards, charg-
ing her with selling, giving away
or having in her possession, intoxi-
eating liquors. 1t is believed that
the beer was taken to the house by
the quartette in the automobile. I'M
order to prove this however, Mrs.
Edwards would have to subpoenae
the four witnesses and this would
disclose their identity. 1t is likely
that Mrs. Edwards will enter a plea
of guilty.
