Mad Dog Scare.

This city underwent the throes of a mad dog scare the first Of the week, occasioned by the fact of negro man, Nelson Shaw by name, having been bitten early Saturday morning by a supposed mad dog. The dog was killed and pr. L. H. Merritt, who at. tended the negro, had the head Of the animal cut of and sent to Dr. William Krauss, of Memphis, for ex- animation, and the result of that ex- animation is given in the following letter:
 1.-The dogs head sent me for exam ination was not in very good condi- tiou, but examlnation of large num- ber of brain smears showed uniformly pictures that could hardly have been anything else than Negri bodies. The brain was acutely inhamed on the side not injured by the trauma caus- ing death. It is my unqualified opin ion that the animal had rabies"
 The negro was treated for the rab- les, the Pasteur treatment being used, and Dr. Merritt reports him as get ting on nicely.
 Monday morning orders were issued
The Forrest City times., 1912-07-19

by the city officials that all dogs run ming at large, should be muzzled or they would be shot, and there was a rush to secure muzzles, and the SUD- ply on hand at the local hardware stores was soon exhausted. Monday night the cannonading of the night marshal, as he attempted to carry out his orders as to shooting stray dogs, prevented sleep for many, and threat ened to cause depletion of the stock Of ammunition carried in the city.
 Many dogs that heretofore have run loose, were tied up and the air is heavy with the sounds of their lamen. tation as they bewail the cruel fate that causes them to be prisoners. and the town is singularly free from dogs on the streets.

GOVERNORS OF SIX STATES
FORM ROOSEVELT
LEAGUE
Western Press.

tsteTn FTebS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Six Repub-
lican governors are enrolled in a self
appointed committee to advocate the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for
the presidency, according to Governor
Walter r. Stubbs of Kansas, who is
in New York.
The committee is unofficial, but ac-
tive, and includes, besides Governor
Stubbs, Governors Bass of New Hamp-
shire, Aldrich of Nebraska, Hadley of
Missouri, Glasscock of West Virginia
and Osborne of Michigan, all rated as
leaders of the progressive wing Of
the Republican party in their respec-
tive states.
According to Governor Stubbs the
six governors are in constant COM
munication by letters and kilograms
and as result he declared that he
was in a position to gauge the
strength of the Roosevelt movement
accurately and he was very optimis-
tlc. farticuiariy IN the south, ne
said, the Roosevelt sentiment was very
strong. A large number of southern
leaders who have in the past domi-
mated the actions of the delegates
chosen from their respective states are
strongly in favor of the nomination of
Roosevelt. Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio also show strong Roose-
welt sentiment.
Colonel Roosevelt does not want the
nomination. He has everything to
lose and nothing to gain by accepting
il, however, feel that conditions will
impose the nomination upon him, said
the governor.

PIONEER WOMAN LAID TO REST.

The First Nj. E. church was filled
this afternoon with friends of the late
Mrs, Margaret Mason whose earthly
existence ended last Saturday morn
ing. The funeral had been announced
to take place from the house, but as
it was too small to accomodote the
friends in attendance on the obsequies,
the place was changed to the Metho-
dist church.
Rev. G. F. Rassweiler, pastor of the
church, was in charge of the services
and delivered an appropriate and com
forting address, including briei
obituary.
Margaret Jones was born on Feb.
21, 1843, at Aberystwith, seaport
town on the coast of Wales, where
she lived until she came to the United
States about twenty-four years ago.
She was married to Thomas Mason
early in life, in Llanbadarn, Wales,
and for some years following Mr.. and
Mrs. Mason made their home in Aber-
ystwith.
When Mr.. Mason made a trip to the
United States and located in Silver
ton, walking from Alamosa to the lat
ter place, he was anxious to move
his family to this country. But the
eldest son was at the time being edu-
Gated, and the hardships of the pio-
neer life for the children, as well as
dread of the big unknown country
SO different to the Wales she knew
and loved, as well as relatives to be
left behind, kept Mrs. Mason from
crossing to join her husband, for some
years.
After doing so, she was a continu-
GUS resident of La Plata county until
the time of her death. She was do
mestic in her tastes, devoted to home
and family and entirely satisfied with
the pleasures and duties to be found
in her own little circle. She was a
busy, energetic woman and in former
years, when at the head of her own
home was fine hostess. She was n
loyal friend, true as steel to those
fortunate enough to claim her friend
ship.
One brother, Richard Jones, is her
sole remaining relative in her native
land. Her husband and her eldest
son preceded her to the other side,
some years ago, her son Thomas jr.
and daughter, Mrs. W. X. Braydon,
and seven grandchildren, being left
to mourn her loss here.
There are, however, many people,
who possibly did not know Mrs. Ma
son intimately, who will have pleas
ant memories of the quiet unassum-
ing woman, who went about her tasks
around the household as IL she loved
to do them, and made her guests feel
as If, for the time, her home was
theirs. Perhaps, one Of the most
striking traits that fingers in men,
ory, was her genuineness, which was
as beautiful as remarkable, when one
values sincerity at its true worth.

N. Marsh and E. c. Hampton, Mrs.
Gus Cedarholm and Miss Mary Sites,
