DRAW NET CLOSER
 ABOUT LANGSTON
Identified. 1t Is Claimed, as Man Who Rode Toward Minturn on Night of Shirey Mur-
 der.

Newport, June 16.-Further identification of J. c. Langston as the man who rode from Hoxie to Minturn on the evening that A. w. Shirey, the wealthy Min turn merchant, was murdered was obtained here today, it is claimed, when James Davis, a farmer who lives between Hoxie and Mlnturu, declared that he saw Langston ride by his home on a gray horse on the night Shirey was mur- dered.
 Davls was brought here today by Sheriff W. K. Surridge O. Lawrence county and vas taken into 2 room ia the ] iu which Lang on had been placed with 19 other men. Davis, it is al- legged by the officers, pointed out Lang as the man lat he saw riding toward Minturn on the night of the murd r.
 Langston had already been identified, it is alleged, by a negro boy who worked in the stable where a man is declared to have secured horse on which he rode to Minturn, and also by a woman who claims to have seen the man on his way to Minturn. The prosecution claims to have evil dence to prove that the man who rode to Minturn from Hoxie that night was the man who killed Shirrey and hopes by identifying Langston as this man to prove his guilt.
 Langston will be arranged for preliminary hearing before Just ice of the Peace ]. F. Rogers at Walnut Ridge next Wednesday.

 Briefly the plan is for the citi- gems of Mena to donate 400 lots which these gentlemen agree to sell on a commission that is actu- ally very small. The funds SC cured from the sale of the lots are to be turned over to corporation to be formed by the citizens of Mena to use as the board of di rectors see fit in securing indus tries, factories. colleges or what ever they decide will be for the benefit of Mena.
 This is a plan that has been worked out in a number of cities over the country always with wonderful success. Hope, Ark, recently raised $80,000 by this plan under the direction of MT. Baer and Mir. Prlchard. These gentlemen have the plan of their own which gets tue lots donated and the plan which sells them.
 At the meeting Friday after noon 1t was decided to incorpor- ate a company to take up the proposition.
 The incorporation papers had already been made out and were quickly signed up by the business men present after which board of fifteen directors were elected as follows: J. G. Jackson, c. B. Dennis, l.. C. Acruman, M. K. Irwin, c. A. Smith, G. B. Wood, K. K. St. John, Clyde Cunning. ham, J. H. Hamilton, Joseph Robert, D. M. Watkins, A. Ii. Scoggin, c. L. Lochridge, H. w. Cardwell, s. M. Riding.
 Following the election of the directors they proceeded to elect officers. A. H. Scoggin was elected president, ]. H. Hamilton, vice president Guy B. Wood, secretary, and l.. c. Acrumau, treasurer. These officers and directors are named as temporary and are to hold office until the entire amount of stock IS raised.
 It was decided by those present at the meeting to adopt tho name 1.-The Mena Industrial Associa- tion (Incorporated).'
 The incorporation papers for the company were filed ID the county clerks office Saturday and copies sent to the Secretary of State.
 Mr. Prichard and Mir. Baer were also notified of the accept ance of their proposition and will arrive in few days to sign up the contract and go to work.
 Both these gentlemen come to Mena with the highest recom- mendation from the banks of Hope that 1t is possible to give. Mir. Prichard and wife visited the Quigley's here few years back and MT. Baer's family spent the summer in Mena last year. These visits have lead to their desire to take up this proposition in this city. Mir. F richard expects to move his family to Mena and Mir. Baer's family will probably spend much of this summer here.
