IOWAN INQUIRIES AS
TO SHtD0WY CLAIM
]. A. SAXTON'S MOTHER HEARD
N 1912 SHE HAD LAND IN
FAULKNER COUNTY.

From Friday Daily
About as hard problem as Cir
cut Clerk J. II. Hartje and Deputy
G. s. McHenry have been called up
on recently to solve was contained in
a letter received the other day from
J. A. Saxton of Hardy, la. Mr.. Mr..
Saxton writes that in 1912 his moth
e. received letter from |. V. Sax
ton, stating that she was the heir of
some lands at MT Vernon, ST. Fran
els county, and the writer desired to
know whether or not this was requir-
ed. He failed to state, however, why
he had waited 20 years to make the
inquiry. The letter was addressed to
County Recorder, Preston, Ark, y
and happened to reach here on ac-
count of the postoffice at Preston
having been abolished for the last 10
years. The circuit clerks office was
obliged to inform Mr. Saxton that
the records Of Faulkner county only
extend back until 1873, and they were
unable to determine whether Mrs.
Saxton owned any land at Mt. Yer
non in 1912.

Republican states, will mean a thor
ough cleansing of the federal service
in the state. Again will be heard that
old-time slogan of the first Cleveland
administration, Turn the rascals
out also that other accepted polit-
zeal dogma that "To the victors be-
long the spoils." Imaginative persons
may already, in fact, be parceling out
the postofices and district attorney
ships and other positions which have
been yielding the Republicans mil
lion dollars a year. But, first elect
Wilson and then talk about the divis-
ion of the spoils, is the prevailing
sentiment.

ASSESSOR FINISHES
TOUR OF COUNTY

from Tuesdays Daily
With his appointment in Benedict
township yesterday, Tax Assessor w.
N. Jones completed his tour of the
county and he will be at the court
house IN this city from now until
July %, when the books will be clos
ed. Mr.. Jones says the assessment
in the rural districts this year is
really better than he expected, con-
sidering the general financial depres-
sion. Horses and mules, he states,
have declined in value, but all other
classes of personal property are be-
ing assessed at good valuations. On
ly personal property and per capita
tax is being assessed this year, it be-
ing an off year for the assessment of
real estate.

CANTALOUPE GROWERS
TO MEET SATURDAY

From Tuesdays Daily.
President d. o. Harton and Sec
rotary w. d. Cole, Jr., of the Faux
ner County Truck Growers Associa-
ton have issued a call for all who
will have cantaloupes for sale to
meet at the courthouse next Satur-
day, July IS, at II o'clock, to discuss
means of disposing of the crop.
Unfortunately for the truck-grow-
ing interest in the county, the first
attempt to raise cantaloupes has
proved almost an entire failure. The
backward spring and wet weather
made it impossible to secure stand
of the plants and the weather has
been unfavorable to the few plants
which came up. Mr.. Cole says, how
ever, that the market for canta-
loupes is unusually good and no diff
Guilty will be experienced in selling
all that are raised at satisfactory
prices.

From Fridays Daily.
John Williams, the negro who kill
ed Deputy Sheriff Paul Nisler of
Plumerville at a negro picnic at Men
flee yesterday was hanged to a tele-
phone pole one-half mile east of
Plumervlle by a mob late last night,
according to reports reaching here
early today. Williams body, still
swinging to the cross-arm of the
pole, was seen by passengers on
trains going through Plumervil.e this
morning.
Various rumors of a wholesale
slaughter of negroes at Menifee and
Plumerv.lle were in circulation here
today, but inquiries over the long
distance telephone proved the rumors
to be false.
The picnic at which Officer Nisle1
was killed was one of unusual law
lessness, judging from all reports. II
, is stated that a bar at which both
whiskey and beer were openly sole
was in operation and large number
of the negroes were drunk. Many

DEMOCRATS HAVE
OEH0RNfD MOOSE
NO NEED OF THIRD PARTY
IS SEEN BY PROGRESSIVES,
SINCE WILSON is NOM
MATED.
BY CLIO HARPER.

Little Rock, July 8.-There ap-
pears to be as little enthusiasm for
the Roosevelt third party in Arkan-
sas as there was over the nomination
of President Taft in Chicago. Some
how, it lacks impetus. This may read
lily be ascribed to the great Demo-
cratic victory in Baltimore, where
progressiveism was strongly empha-
sized within the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party
But j. A. Conner, head of the
Roosevelt movement in the state, says
there is plenty of enthusiasm back of
it-that this is only the premonitory
calm that presages a great storm of
protest against corrupt Republican
sued this week, as soon as copy of
the third party platform is received,
and he predicts that this will start
the ball rolling.
"The Roosevelt supporters are
practically a unit" said Mr.. Conner,
land we expect to get recruits from
the Republicans that have h:terto
been stand-patters, as we'll as from
the Democrats
Democrats, however, as well as
some of the Roosevelt men, do not see
it in the same light. They see in the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson the
greatest strategic move that could
have been made to dethrone Roose-
veltism and Taftism. The schism in
the Republican party can have but
one result in Arkansas-a widening
of the breach that has been growing
in the party lines since the old days
of insurgency, and the polling of a
larger majority for the Democratic
ticket than has ever been known.
The Democrats are united. AL
though standing by Champ Clark to
the last, they have followed the lead
ership of their choice and declared
their unfaltering fealty to the dis
tinguished Princetonian statesman
AS the sting of disappointment is
dulled, they realize that the conven-
ton pursued the wisest course, and
that with such a leader as Woodrow
Wilson, party success is certain in
November. There has been from the
first large and loyal element of Ar
kansas Democracy favorable to Will
he
all those who favored Clark and I'm
derwood and Harmon. Wilson's sue
cess has also strengthened the love
that Bryan's friends have always felt
for the great Nebraskan, the man
who single-handed controlled the con-
vention, although there are many
representative Democrats, like Sena-
tor Clarke, who condemn Bryan as
roundly as did Stanchfield of New
York This does not, however, render
less indisputable that Bryan remains
the popular idol, and that Woodrow
Wilson promises to become a close
second.
The election of Wilson, which Ar
kansas Democrats do not doubt, will
mean a great deal for the state. His
manager, w. F. McCombs, formerly
of Hamburg, Ark, a cousin of George
B. Pugh of Little Rock, feels very
grateful to the coterie of earnest
Wilson men. That the Arkansas del
egation feels most kindly toward him
is shown by the fact that their Is
votes were first cast for him for the
vice-presidential nomination.
Democratic victory in November,
which seems inevitable on the pro-
gressive wave, with Roosevelt and
Taft dividing the electoral vote in the

MANY Arrests Follow.

Chicago, May S.-Rioting broke out
in the Loop district at noon yester-
day, when the afternoon editions OF
the newspapers appeared.
At Madison and Dearborn streets
strike sympathizers made two at
tacks on newsboys selling the after
noon papers. The first attack was
repulsed by the police, who arrested
three of the attacking party. AS
they walked away with their prisoners
the strikers returned, drove away the
newsboys, scattered the papers in
the streets, broke up the news stands
and set fire to the wreckage before
the officers could return.
Strikers attacked news dealers al
Dearborn and Randolph streets,
knocked them down, seized their pa
pers. tore them to shreds, and scat
tered them in the street. A similar
attack occurred at Madison street, in
front of the Northwestern Railway
Station.
