Issue to Be Rcopened


terpret as the obvious may delay posi-
tive announcement; but the signs spell
prophecy that the issue between
Spring Valley and the people is to be
reopened.
With the incorporating of the City
and Suburban water company and the
City and Suburban realty company,
both believed to be the offspring OF
Spring Valley, has come the state
ment from Mayor Mccarthy that he
stands ready to buy at fair price the
water producing properties of Bourn's
company. 1t is such striking coin
cidence that those who have followed
the water situation read deeper
meaning into the circumstance.
The two city and suburban COM
panies were Incorporated on Monday
the water concern for s2S.OOO. 900 and
the realty company for $4,000, 900. The
Identity of the real parties in interest
was concealed behind these names: r.
Rothschild. G. Cohen, F. Kaiser J.
Reid. ]. Stewart. w. Fisher and A.
Greene.
Officials Are Silent
President Bourn of the Spring VAL
ley excused himself from discussing
the matter. His assistant. S. P. East
man. said that he knew nothing about
it, Other officials of the company
maintained a similar silence. There
was an apparent unwillingness to talk
of the matter at ALL
The water experts of the city gov
ernment. however. hazarded the opin-
ion, in which there was general con-
currence, that the two corporations
represented the new dress that Spring
Valley had designed for itself. Fol-
lowing the biblical example, Bourn, it
was stated had separated the waters
fro mthe earth. The waters were in
corporated as the City and suburban
water company for a total of s2s.-
OO0, 900. The land was segregated into
the City and suburban realty com
pany, with a capital of s14.00O.00O
The mysterious interpretations did
not appear to worry Mayor Mccarthy.
that he was more familiar with the
situation than his words showed.
Mayor McCarthy's Views
Whenever the Spring Valley or any
other quasi public corporation furnish
ing this city comes to an, equitable
basis of adjustment. am ready to deal
with them" declared the Mayor yester-
day "If the Spring Valley water COM
pany is willing to dispose of it's actual
water producing and supplying plant
to the city at an equitable price the
city will treat with it,
The mayor refused to state the sum
which he would consider as an equita-
BILE purchase price. but when asked if
he had decided what amount would be
fair. answered:
Yes, / have price in mind. but I
do not care to say as yet what it is
The mayor explained that his opposi-
tion TO the purchase of Spring Valley
during the water bond campaign was
based on legal grounds. He said that
IL the city had purchased the plant for
S35. 900. 000 he understood that before
the money could have been paid over or
the deeds of sale transferred a suit
would have been brought TO force a
partition of the Spring Valley prop
erty. He said that the point would
have been raised that only a portion

He gave the boys gruelling day on the campus, out of which the choice elev- en of the school gained many good points in the defensive side of the game. Coach Bloom made an inspir- ing address at the High School yes- terday afternoon shortly before dis missal. requesting all the boys to come out to practice. As a result of the talk about twenty-eight men greeted MT. Bloom on the field and played at their best for few hours.
 During the play MT. Bloom worked his first team entirely on the defen- sive. The members of the second team and other players on the team played Waliantly against the better men, greatly assisting them in real izing some of the bests points in the defensive side of the game
 Freelan Christopher, a young man of small stature but mighty of sinews, made his appearance on the field yes- terday afternoon for the first time Coach Bloom gave him some work along with the other players and he showed up splendidly.

Little Rock is Again Stirred By Foul Assassination a
 Few Miles From City.
Y B MASHBURN VICTIM
Rode in Buggy Left City at $ D. m. Not Seen Alive Afterward
 Shot From Behind.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 7.-Another pike murder mystery has been added to the recent criminal record of the city, in some respects similar to the unsolved Sweet Home pike tragedies, When Mrs. Charles E Diehl and Ar thur Hatton, a negro, were killed and Fred Gossell and Miss Meyer were injured by am unknown assassin who fired upon them from ambush.
 Last nights assassination of Yancy B. Mashburn, a well-to-do farmer, oc- cured at about the same hour as that Of Monday night, September 19, but this was onl the Nineteenth street pike southwest of the city
 Found Dead in Road.
 Yancy B. Mashburn, a we'll known farmer and ginner, was found dead in the road on the Nineteenth street pika last might with a bullet hole in his head. Neal Smith reported the find ing of the body at the -Four Mile, Grocery From there a report was made to Healey & Roth, who sent an ambulance
 Mr. Mashburn lived with his wife and two children about eight milea beyond Mabelvale and owned a farm and gin. He came to Little Rock yesterday afternoon and was here about three hours. He had made a purchase of bagging and arranged for that to lbe carried out by farmer who lives in his vicinity today
 It was nearly 8 o'clock when Mr Mashbum left the store of his nephew on Wright avenue last night, and that was the last seen of him alive. He was in buggy when he left the store, but the buggy has not been heard of since.
 An autopsy was held this morning by Drs. Ogden and McNeil and the bullet located. It was 38-calibre ball. The doctors say it entered be- hind the left ear and ranged upward and forward, lodging against the skull about an inch and half above the right ear. This shows clearly that MT. Mashburn was shot from the rear, and bears out the theory that he was in the buggy at the time and whoever shot him was behind him.

ONLY 329 BALES
 RECEIVED HERE
Lateness of the Cotton Crop is Shown By Reports From the Two City
 Cotton Scales.

The prospects for the cotton crop in this section of the state being sev- eral weeks late, is verified by the re- port from the city cotton scales of the city, which weigh the bales of cot ton as they are brought in. The crop was estimated at being about six weeks late, and at that to be only half a crop. The outlook is not so bad however, as it is expected that that fancy staple will be coming in in large quantities within the next ten days, and the shortage is not expect ed to be very great.
 J. s. Currie, who has charge of Cotton Scales No. 1 made the follow ing report yesterday:
 October z, 1909, received up-to-tate 1890 bales.
 October z, 1910, received up-to-date 175 bales
 Bales weighed on October z, 1909, 22S.
 Bales weighed yesterday, Oct. 2, 1910, 46.
 P. M. Bridges, manager of Cotton Scales No. 2 reported that he weigh ed B bales yesterday, totaling up about 15O for the present season to- date. MT. Bridges books show that the amount weighed up to the same date last year stotaled about 1,500 bales.

 Mrs. Beavers, before her death, re- lated story of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of her husband. She said that her husband demanded that she lead a life of shame in order to secure money for him and when she refused he beat her and stole their child. In court yesterday Beav- ers' who did not ask for the services of an attorney, libeled the good name of his dead wife by making accusa- tions against her character Those who knew the unfortunate young woman say she was pure, lovable woman and that she was not to blame for her husbands act. After investi- gating the charges made by Beavers, the officers were more thoroughly convinced of the young woman pur- lty. Beavers is in the county jail and will go to the county farm prob ably today. He is said to have once lived at Conway and has a brothe. living in Desha county.
 Magistrate Frazier declared that he would impose the heaviest penalty al- lowed by law for desertion and fined Beavers $500 with an additional 99 days Un the county farm. Beavers did not as much as make a comment or the action of the court.
