DRfAMLAND WILL
CLOSE SATURDAY
Last Moving Picture Show Will be
Given Saturday Night and a
Grand Program Has Been
ARRANGED

On Saturday night after the pro-
gram has been rendered, which q.
Lee Wilson, manager, mas prepared,
this play house will be closed, the
lease having expired. On account
of the break down of three weeks
duration, of the electric light plant,
the very night the house was to
open and also on account of the In
clemen; weather, most of the time,
the enterprise was not profitable
one by any means in a financial way
to the manager and he deemed il
wise to close for while. Arrange
ments are now being made to secure
larger and better ventilated house
and no doubt in course of week
or so announcement will be made
through these columns.
Good program tonight, Thursday
also on Saturday night. Everybody
should come out these two last
nights and witness the motion pic
lures and hear the good music.

Was Sent Home
By POCd People
Lon Burns Living on Household
and Suffering With AbCesS
Sent Home Saturday

Lon Burns formerly of Corning,
but who for several weeks has been
living on houseboat, which was
formerly located at Mill Creek, but
which was brought here about two
weeks ago, was sent to his home
last Saturday by the citizens of
Pocahontas, a collection having
been taken up by d. V. Cooke for
that purpose. Reports are to the
effect that he has been in very bad
condition and last Saturday several
citizens went to the houseboat and
besides furnishing him with clean
clothes, giving him bath, about
the first that he had had in a month,
they gave him enough money to en-
able him to go to the home of his
sister. 1t is,a deplorable state OF
affairs when man in the condition
that Burns was, is so badly neglect
ed by his comrade and many of the
citizens of the town have not failed
to express themselves relative to the
neglect. Pocahontas people are a..
ways ready and willing to help
people who are down and out and
they do it whenever the occasion de-
mands itself but charity subjects
are becoming rather numerous here
lately and most of them are not and
never have been residents of the
county. Charity should begin at
home and we believe that if we
take care of the destitute in our
own county we shall have done our
duty.

that he was injured. They sent to
Pocahontas for assistance and the
passenger crew was ordered to 90
to the scene and do what they could
to clear the track as two cars were
reported off the track.
The track was cleared, the engine
being placed on the switch and Tay-
lor was brought to Pocahontas and
taken to the Palace Drug tore
where DR.. w, 4. Hamil, assisted
by DR.. Guy Black, rendered the
proper medical aid, setting the
broken leg. Taylor was taken to
St. Louis Sunday evening by DR..
Hamil and last reports are to the
effect that he is getting along very
nicely. DR.. Hamil returned home
Tuesday,
The local crew was called before
the officials at Chaffee on Tuesday
and they were exonorated, accord
ing to the reports received at this
place.

Arkansas Hog
Causes Trouble
SaIIie and CheSty LOOney COIOred,
held to Await Action of
Grand Jury

Sallie and Chesty Looney both
colored, living about mile west of
Pocahontas, were up before Squire
Douglas last Friday evening on a
charge of assault with intent to kill.
From the evidence itappears that
the colored women's hog had been
tresspasssing on the property of
John Ashcraft and that they had
been notified to keep their hog up
and also stay off of the Ashcraft
property themselves.
On Monday evening of last week
one of the colored women went to
the home of Mr.. Ashcraft to get her
hog out of the garden. She was
notified by Mrs. Ashcraft to stay
off her property and that she would
drive the hog Oft herself. This en-
ragged the colored woman and she
called to her sister to bring her
pistol, which she did. One of the
women snapped the pistol once at
Mrs. Ashcraft, who attempted to
knock it from her hand. The other
colored woman then got hold OF
the pistol and snapped it twice.
A warrant was sworn out for the
woman and they we're brought be-
fore Squire Douglas and waived
hearing as to assault with intent tc
kill and stood trial on the charge Of
carrying pistol. Both were fined
500 each and they appealed the
case to the circuit court. Both
were placed under bail of $500 and
they were represented by Attys
Witt d Schoonover.

Preparing For
The Bridge Piers
Small Force of Men are at Work
Across Black River Getting
Things in Shape for
Contractors

A few people in this section seem
to still be under the impression that
the Frisco railroad compay does not
intend to build a bridge across the
river at this place and that the work
which was started last week in ex-
cavating for the piers on this side
of the river was all bluff.
Such is not the case. Accord
ing to the contract the company
had to begin work on the 9Th or
surrender their contract and as they
did not have time to let the contract
immediately for the bridge, they
were compelled to put small crew
at work at once. This crew is now
working on the other side of the
river. The company will have any
amount of work to do in this vicin-
ity independent of the contractors
and a large crew will be put on
shortly. The company will have
to make repairs n number of
bridges between here and Hoxie,
besides laying heavier rails to &C
comodate the heavier trains and
engines which will be run when the
bridge is completed.
The bridge is an assured fact not.
withstanding all talk to the contrary.

Hill and on account of a decision
rendered by Ferd Spinenweber, um'
