TOTAL ATTENDANCE
REACHED IO6,8OO

According to figures compiled by
officials of the three trunk line rail
roads entering Little Rock, 106, 800
tickets were sold to this city during
the reunion. The last census gave
Little Rock a population of 59,941
For four days the population of the
city was more than doubled Yet dur
ing this period there has been no time
when a visitor possessed of dollar
could not obtain comfortable lodgings
or get a substantial meal for so cents.
At Camp Shaver 10000 veterans
four times as many as were ever en-
tertained at any other reunion-have
been given free lodgings and furnia ah-
ed meals the like of which have never
been seen before at a Confederate re-
union.
On the first day of the reunion,
when it was seen that the crowds and
the number of veterans to be enter
tained would exceed all calculations,
the reunion committees issued an ap-
peal to the people of Little Rock to
rise to the crisis and make good. Ev-
cry committeeman who took any con-
siderable share in the reunion prepar-
ations declared last night that Little
Rock-aided by many patriotic citi-
zens of Arkansas outside the capital
city-had made good. This opinion

TRAGEDY RESULTS FROM DIS
PUTE BETWEEN NEIGHBORS
NEAR VILONIA.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
Vilonla, May l9.-George Orsband
died at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
as result of injuries received in a
fight with his near neighbor, Melton
May, following a dispute over a trivial
matter Tuesday afternoon. May is
said to have struck Orsband terrific
blow on the head with a table leg,
causing his death.
The tragedy occurred at Orsband's 5
home, about three miles of Ballard
Schoolhouse, just across the line in
Lonoke county. May gave himself up
to Lonoke county officers Wednesday
following Orsband's death.
According to reports received here,
May was passing Orsbands house and
the latter demanded him to bring
home some buggy shafts which May
had borrowed. May told Orsband if
he wanted them he would have to go
and get them, and one word brought
on another, until the men went to
fighting. Orsband is reported to have
advanced on May with a grubbing hoe
and the latter picked up table leg
and knocked him down. During the
fight Orsband's wife is said to have
taken her husbands part and struck
May over the head with a stick. DR.. J
W. Yancey was called to attend Ors-
hand and remained with him until he
died.

CARRYING
MANY TO HOMES

AS practically everyone attending
the reunion desired to leave Little
Rock as soon as the big events were
over, last nights trains out of the
capital city passing through here We're
more crowded than at any time during
the big excursions, Seven or eight
specials passed through Conway dur
ing the night, each one loaded to its
fullest capacity. One of the trains,
which was run as a section of the reg
ular accommodation, reached here yes
terday afternoon with about 700 Con-
way people on board. The crowds
were not nearly all taken out during
the night, however, and the union sta
ton at Little Rock was reported to
have been worse crowded this morning
than at any time during the reunion.
Many of the reunion visitors left
Little Rock for visits in nearby towns,
and there were probably more former
citizens visiting in Conway during the
week than ever before at one time.

SCHOOL ELECTION
ON TOMORROW

Although tomorrow is the day for
the annual school election, very little
interest is being manifested in the
matter here, in marked contrast with
previous years. No candidates have
announced or been suggested for the
three places to be filled on the school
board, and even the election tickets
have not yet been printed, Secretary
s. E. Anderson wishing to hold it open
until the last moment in order that the
names of any who may desire to run
might be printed on the ticket.
The three members whose terms eX-
pire are D. 0. Harton, president of the
board; S. G. Smith and Prof. 7. ].
Bullion. 1t is understood that Prof.
Bullion, who has served two terms,
wishes to retire on account of being
engaged in school work out of the city
most of the time, but that Messrs.
Harton and Smith will consent to
serve another term if the voters de-
sire. Who will be the third man no
one seems to have any idea, although
the election is only a few hours off.
