MYSTERY IN DEATH
 OF DEFORMED BOY
His Stspfather Held, After Lads Body, With Broken Neck, Is Found In Little Stream Near
 His Home.

Batesville, Aug. 4.-Bureess Scrog- gns, farmer. 59 years old, was ar rested here yesterday and placed in jail pending an investigation of the death of his seven-year-old, deaf and dunn stepson, Harrison livery.
 According to the sheriff, Scroegins arrest was the result of statement he made which resulted in the finding of the body of the child after all efforts to find it had proven fruitless. The boy was poorly developed physically and it was only during the past few months that he had been able to walk, it is stated.
 He disappeared from his home near Hutchinson postoffice about two weeks ago. the sheriff said, and his mother, becoming alarmed, informed the neigh boring farmers and a search was made. While the search was being made, ac- cording to the sheriff. Scroggins sue- eested that they look in a certain place in branch that ran through a field some distance from the house.
 The place was located and the body was found. The child, according to the coroner, had been dead for some time and upon examination his neck was found to be broken and the body badly bruised. The fact that the child was so far from the house aroused as he was. according to his mother. never known to walk such distance.

 In the race for state secretary on the first ballot, R. H. Frye led the ticket with B votes, afterward the race was between Frye and Payne and resulted in Payne's election by a vote of 68 to 5S. G. A. Cole has been re- elected without opposition for presi- dent and State Secretary Dickinson, who retired from the secretaryship to accept position in the agricultural school of this county. was honored with the vice president s office of the state.
 The executive committee is now composed of F. w Broadanax of Qua chita county, Chairman w. D. Walker of Logan county, Secretary L. M, Burge of Benton county, J. E. Rogers of Columbia county and J. A. Black ford of Craighead county.
 The question of removing the state headquarters will be settled. The delegates to the national convention were elected as follows: E. w. Cha ney of Woodruff county and w. F. Tate of Ouachita county.

FOUND DYING WITH
 LAMP IN HIS HANDS
Low Voltage of Electricity Believ- ed to Have Killed Fort Smith Man-Heart Was in Weak
 Condition.

Fort Smith, Aug. 4-James Brown, age 34, a married man. was electro cuted or died suddenly while handling an attached incandescent light at the Fort Smith refrigerator works this morning He was found lying on the floor of the machine room in a dying condition by Arthur Meister, the fore man, and expired within a few minutes without regaining consciousness. In his hand he clutched the electric lamp. His right thumb had been burned to the bone.
 Brown had been instructed to erect a line'shaft in the room. He mounted a machine to bore holes in the ceiling for screws. Meister detected a pecu- liar odor coming from the room and an investigation resulted in h e discovery of Brown. He had been ill for several days, it is reported, and went to work this morning after debat- ing the question for some time. It is also said that he had a weak heart. The wire feeding the light had a volt age of 110. which is said by physicians to be sufficient to kill man in his condition.
 Whether Brown was stricken with heart disease while at work on top of the machine or whether he was electro cuted by the lamp seems a matter of conjecture. It is stated that he had suffered recently with faintine attacks Brown was married only six weeks ago.

REPUBLICANS OPEN
 STATE CAMPAIGN CAIM|IPE AAIIGlNl
Crowd of f,500 People Hear Judge Andrew l. Roland Make First Plea for the Governor
 ship.

Ozark, Aug. IA crowd of about 1,5000 people from all parts of the state came to Ozark today to hear the opening of the Republican state cam paign. Judge Andrew I. Roland. eu- bernatorial nominee. made his first plea for the goyernorship and he was followed on the platform by three for mer candidates for the office, H. L Remmel of Little Rock, John L, Wor- thington of Harrison and Harry H. Myers of Hot Springs.
 Tine speaking began at II o'clock this morning and continued until o'clock this afternoon. The crowd re- mained until the last, however. and accorded each speaker close attention throughout his address. This was the second time the Republicans had opened their state campaign in Ozark, the first speeches of the campaign two years ago having been made here.
 Judge Roland. in opening his ad- dress, reviewed the history of the Republican party, and called on the voters to join this. the party of action, rather than the party of promise. He asked if the Republican party was a good ruler for the whole of the na- tion, why would not it govern Arkan- sas as well?
 He defended the tariff, and said that if any states had a grievance they were manufacturing states, and certainly not Arkansas, which is an agricultural community.
 Turning to state affairs, he spoke of his own record as county judge of Hot Springs county, where he had been elected to office three terms in sue cession, expressing his appreciation of the Democratic votes which elected him. He entered office with debt of $24 900 against the county, he said, which had been standing for years. Today the county is out of debt. he declares, and has surplus in it's treasury.

 On the Democratic side, W. H. Mur- ray and Lee Cruce are still claiming the gubernatorial victory by from 10,- 900 to 10000 plurality. On the face of tine returns. however. Cruce has won.

MORE FOR OLD SOLDIERS
Confederate Veterans Will Receive this Year About 70 Per Cent on
 Pensions.

Indications are that the Confeder- ate pensioners will this year receive 70 per cent of the amount allowed them instead of 62 per cent. as last year. The increase is caused by the increase in value of taxable property in the state, the books showing S45'- OOO 900 m excess of 1909 out of which the old soldiers will get $67, 500. They Will receive 1 1-2 mills this year on $530. 900, ,000, which means a good in- crease for each old soldier.
