KILLS WIFE and
COMMITS SUICIDE

The news Of terrible tragedy at
Myrtle, Mo-, few miles north of
Elm Store, reached Pocahontas
Tuesday, in which it was reported
that man by the name of Sam
Cypret, well-to-do farmer of that
section, about 40 years Old, shot
and killed his wife, who was about
80 years old and then shot himself
to death. Both were dead within
a few minutes after the shooting
and a double funeral was held
Wednesday.
The facts relative to the sad af-
fair, as near as we can gather, are
that the couple were married about
two years ago and each had been
married before, she having three
children and he having nine. Do
a
mestic troubles soGn arose and they
separated. After q time they be-
came 'reconciled ana lived together
again until a few weeks ago when
they again separated. Monday of
this week they met to arbltrate
their troubles or divide their prop
erty. He was anxious forh to go
back and live with him but she
refused, whereupon he secured a
shotgun and killed her and then
turned the weapon upon himself
and took his own life. 1t is said
that each owned considerable prop
crty.

King Has Good Record

The conviction of ID. K. Jackson
In the circuit court here last week
marks change in the record of one
of north Arkansas leading attor-
neys-D. L. King. During his
practice in the courts of north Ark
ansas Mr.. King has defended more
than one hundred persons charged
with felOnious crimes and this Is the
first case he has ever lost. Friends
of Mr.. King arc claiming that in
this instance he won great victory
as the defendant was charged with
murder in the first degree and be
succeeded in getting the crime re-
duced to manslaughter. A record
such as this is one of which any at.
torney might well feel proud.

SECRETARY HODGES
is QUITE BUSY

1t is said that Secretary of State
Earle w. Hodges is being kept very
busy these days, however it is
said that life for him is just one
picnic day after another, SO we sup
pose he must be enjoying all there
il in it. He receives many more
invitations to speak at public gather
ings than he is able to accept owing
to the many duties he has to look
after at the State House. He will,
however, address the people at
Mammoth Spring during the reunion
there and will also fill an engage
ment at Newark sometime this
month.

JACKSON SENT UP
FOR THREE YEARS

"We, the jury, find the defend,
ant guilty and assess his punish.
ment at three years in the peniten.
tiary."
This was the verdict of the jury
in the case of the State VS. d. K.
Jackson, charged with tue murder
of Dick Richardson at Hardy three
years ago, which case was brought
here on change of venue from
Sharp county and was on trial at
the time this paper went to press
last week. The case went to the
jury late Friday evening and the
verdict was returned Saturday
afternoon. The evidence was con.
cluded Friday morning and most of
the witnesses left Immediately for
their homes. After giving minute
instructions to the jury the court
granted the attorneys on each side
four hours in which to argue the
case.
Prosecuting Attorney Elmore led
the argument for the state and In a
speech of some two hours duration
reviewed the testimony of witnesses
and presented strong argument
for his side of the case. He was
followed by Dave King, leading
counsel for the defendant. Mr..
King spoke for three hours, making
the speech of his life, almost, in
the defense of his client. He was
followed by S. H. Davidson,
another lawyer for the defense,
while w. p. Smith concluded for
the state, finishing his argument
about 8 o'clock p. m.
On the first ballot taken by the
jury they stood, one for twenty.one
years; seven for terms ranging from
three to ten years and four for ac-
quittal. On the next ballot only
one remained in favor of ecquittal
and after that the only disagreement
was in the number of. wears he should
be sentenced, finally Agreeing upon
the verdict above stated.
,uha verdict was aitnJIrrooet
by the clerk the prisoner exhibited
no concern, whatever, maintaining
the stolid Indifference he had shown
during the entire trial, as was also
the case when he was taken before
the court to receive sentence. He
rather appeared to rejoice that the
penalty was not greater, remarklng
to the sheriff, while on his way back
to Jail, that he could "stand on his
head that long"
This has been very expensive
case for Sharp county, the cost of
this trial alone amounting to Sl,625.
Sheriff Brown took the prisoner
to Little Rock Monday and turned
HIM over to the authorities at the
penitentiary.

Apple rlst is fungus growth
which forms irregular, brownish
patches on the upper surface of the

yellowish border sometimes tinged
with autumnal red. On the under

the threads become dry. the spores
are easily scattered by the winds and
