Members of Arkansas National
Guard Start Race Riot
at Fordyce.
FOUR COMPANIES ARRESTED
Two Hundred Men Held Pending IN
qury-Fourteen Negroes Are
Injured.

Fordyce.-rourteen negroes were
injured and property in the negro
quarter OF the city was badly damag-
ed, in the course of race riot pre-
cipitated by four companies OF the
Arkansas National Guard, who were
here enroute to Alexandria, La, to
take part in the military maneuvers.
Benton, acting under instructions
from Governor Donaghey, arrested the
members of companies from Jones'
boro. Piggott, Blytheville and Black
Rock and the men were held in For,
dyee pending an investigation.
The city was thrown into a comma,
ton by the action of the soldiers and
excitement was high for some time.
The trouble began soon after the alri,
val of the soldiers.
They began an invasion of the ei.y
apparently picking the negro portion
for their raid. Henry Ttdwell, a ne
gro, was the first attacked, and WAS
stabbed in the back with sharp in.
strument. Frank Mckinney, also a
negro, was attacked and badly beaten
about the head. Tidwell was taken
TO the office of physician nearby and
his wounds dressed When he again
appeared upon the street he was
again attacked and beaten by the
militiamen until unconscious.
The soldiers next visited a pocl-
room owned by local negro. This
place was almost completely wreck
ed the trout plate glass being broken
and the taLles upset. All efforts to
argue with the soldiers by local Of
ficers We're fruitless. Owing TO the
number of soldiers the local officers
were unable to cope with them, and
Mayor W. c. Cable called a mass
meeting to discuss means to quiet the
trouble. The meeting resulted in an
appeal by telephone to Gov. Donaghey
at Hot Springs. Gov. Donaghey in
structed Mayor Gable to arrest all the
members of the companies holding the
entire party in Fordyce, if necessary
TO put stop to the trouble.
After an investigation of the charg-
es Gov. Donaghey ordered that Capt.
Hickey of Company G, Jonesboro, be
dishonorably discharged. He did this
after evidence had been presented
tending to show that Capt. Hickey
had made no effort to stop the depre-
dations of his men and had refused
to aid the city and county authorities
in restoring order.
Acting under this order, the mem
bers of Company were lined up on
the Rock Island right of way and Gen.
B, w. Green publicly announced the
dishonorable discharge of Capt. Hick-
ey and reprimanded the entire com
pany in severe terms.
Gov. Donaghey also ordered the sol
diers to pay the cost of repairing the
property damaged and medical attend
ance upon the injured. At his request
the prosecution was then dropped

OPPOSES STATE TICKET IDEA
Judge Purdy Against the Plan In
Minnesota,

Minnesota progressives will clash
with national leaders of the new Pro-
gressive party unless Senator Dixon,
Roosevelt's campaign manager, re-
codes from the position he took in
Chicago.
Senator Dixon's ultimatum that
there was to bena full state ticket in
every state in the Union was read to
Judge Milton D. Purdy of Minneapolis,
who signed the call for the National
Progressive convention. Judge Purdy
retorted with a counter ultimatum
that fairly sums up the attitude Of
Minnesota progressives.
Neither Senator Dixon nor any 9TH
er outsider can come into Minnesota
and tell US what we shall do" said
Judge Purdy. ut is foolish to talk of
forcing Minnesota progressives to
put a third party state ticket in the
field if they are opposed to it."

The body of Mrs. Mary Weinard,
fifty-fve years of age, bearing marks
of violence on her neck and arms,
with clothes torn as if she had been
in combat with a person stronger
than herself, was found by William
Lampson, a switch tender, at via
duct over the Great Northern tracks
at Minneapolis.
Her coat had been jerked off and
thrown in some bushes and her waist
had been torn almost completely from
her body. A brown switch, nearly the
color of her natural hair, had been
snatched from her head and lay in the
mud near the body.
The autopsy performed revealed
the presence of frost" in the woman's
lungs-a recognized symptom OF
strangulation. The condition of the
body was such that the theory is ad.
vanced that the woman died trying to
defend herself from an assault.

eral Twin City papers last week-all of
them are progressive and abhor the
machine-an article of considerable
length eulogistic of United States
Senator Knute Nelson. The burden
of each of the articles was that Uncle
Knute again make the race. To per-
NIT him to retire it was contended
would be calamity. He was the only
one who had held steadfast to the
principles of Republicanism and good
