KILLED SEEKING
 TO AID BROTHER
Newton County Man Who Sought to Prevent Arrest Shot
 By the Constable

Jasper, Dec. 22.-Because, 1t is alleged, he interfered when an at- tempt was being made to arrest his brother for being intoxicated, Henry Barr was shot and instantly killed last night by Constable C. L. Carlton of Low Gap township. The shooting occurred at a box supper at Low Gap.
 The constable, according to re- ports, had arrested Frank Barr, when his brother, Henry Barr, in- terfered in his behalf. The con- stable then is alleged to have shot him through the head with a pis- tol. Both Carlton and the Barrs have borne good regulations and are said never to have been in trouble before. Constable Carlton was arrested and will be given preliminary hearing at Jasper next Saturday.

GOLD AT PLEASANT PLAINS
Scientists Believe Pay Gold Has Been Struck Near That Place

Newport, Dec. 24.-That pay gold is found in the quartz discov- cred about three miles from Pleas ant Plains, IS the statement of H. Graham, who has just returned to this city from a several days in- spection trip through the hills of that section. MT. Graham brought back with him number of pieces of quartz, which he will send to a government assay to determine the richness of the field.
 There is an old legend in that section that an early settler found a valuable gold nugget about three miles from the present site of Pleasant Plains, but the place was never located positively, though the samples to be assayed were found about that distance from Pleasant Plains. MT. Graham also has specimens of the clay found in that section, which a reliable assay shows to contain 2.9 per cent al- luminum.

NEWPORT TO HAVE
 SALOONS NEXT YEAR
County Court Grants Petition to Revoke Three Mile Order
 and 7 Ask for License

Newport, Dec. 23.-Saloons will be allowed to open in Newport on January 4, as a result of a ruling of the county court today, revok- ing the three-mile order granted by Judge Simmons in 1910.
 The city council recently fixed the saloon license at $3,000 a year and seven applications will be made for license.
 w. R. O'Neal, L. L. Bowen, H. C. Sanders, A. D. Bailey and 1,941 other petitioners asked the revo- cation of the prohibition order. According to the census taken by the petitioners, there are 3,062 persons within the three-mile dis trict eleigible to sign the petition. As they had 1,945 names on their petition, their figures show a ma jority of 414. Upon this showing, Judge Coe granted the order with drawing the prohibition ruling.
 AS Newport and Jackson county voted "wet" in the election in Sep tember, it appears certain licenses will be granted January 4, when the court again convenes.
 Although Judge Coe expressed himself as willing to be governed by the vote of the citizens in the September election, it is under stood he will refuse to grant li- censes in towns outside of New port on the ground that proper po- lice protection Is not offered.
