GAMBLERS ROW
ENDS in KILLING
Shooting in Room of Newport
Hotel Results in the Death
of Frank Vance

Frank Vance, said to have been
a representative of a poultry jour
nal published in Pine Bluff, was
shot and killed in room of the
Planters hotel in Newport Friday
afternoon. E. Mayberry of New
port has been arrested charged
with the killing. He admits hav-
ing fired the fatal shot, but main
tains that it was an accident.
The shooting grew out of a dis
pute over crap game which had
been in progress all day in the
room in which the killing occurred
Sounds of disorder coming from
the room caused Ira Best. to burst
open the door. As he burst into
the room a shot was fired, appar-
emily by Mayberry, who was stand
ing in the doorway. The bullet
grazed the forehead of w. S.
Thompson of Newport, one of the
occupants of the room, and struck
Vance squarely in the forehead,
killing him instantly.
All the occupants of the room
were arrested by Sheriff McCuis-
ton pending investigation. This
included Thompson's wife, who
says her husband and companions
had been gambling in the room
all day forcing her to remain in
bed.

FOUR ARE HELD ON
CHARGE OF MURDER
Probe of Recent Newport Killing
Results i'm Four Men Being
Held Without Bond

As result of the coroner's in
vestigation into the murder of a
young man supposed to be Frank
Vance, which occurred in New
port a few days ago, E. Mayberry,
Grover Parrot, w. S. Thompson
and A. Billiard were charged with
murder in the first degree and the
coroner's jury recommended that
they be held without bond to
await the action of the grand jury.
The coroner's investigation re-
vealed the fact that the murdered
mans real name was not Vance,
but that his name was B. NJ. Law
renee and that his home was at
Checotah, Okla, where his father
is retired farmer of considerable
wealth.
During the investigation the
woman supposed to be Thompson's
wife broke down and told a story
entirely different from that which
she related to the officers immedi-
ately after the killing. She was
found in bed in the room in which
the men were gambling. She said
she had been forced to remain
there by her husband. She said
her first statements were inspired
by a desire to shield the men
whom she thought were really
not responsible for the tragedy.
Her testimony was to the effect
that duriug the game Mayberry
became angered at Vance LAW
rence) and struck him with a
chair, knocking him down, and
when he attempted to get up May
berry shot him.
A brother of the murdered man
arrived in Newport Monday eve-
ming to ship the remains to
Checotah for burial but after his
arrival there changed his mind
and had the remains buried at
Newport.

COMMISSIONERS LET
DRAINAGE CONTRACT
w. b. Carter of Little Rock Will
Begin Work at Once on Big
Ditch Near Here

At a meeting of the board of
commissioners of Drainage Dis
trict No. 2, held at Batesville last
Saturday, w. B. Carter of Little
Rock, was awarded the contract
for the construction of the canal
for this district.
AS soon as his bond is approved
which will likely be within the
next few days, Mr.. Carter will ship
his machinery here and begin
work on the big ditch. He will
use a steam dredge for digging
the main canal, and will begin
work at the upper end of the
route which is some distance west
of town. AT the same time men
and teams will be put to work on
the lateral ditch which will take
care of the waters of Thomas
creek which has become a menace
to Newark. Work on the canal
has been unnecessarily yet I'M
avoidably delayed through the
failure of a former contractor to
furnish bond, but no futher
trouble along this line is anticipat-
ed and it is hoped to yet have the
big ditch completed in time to take
care of the heavy fall and winter
rains. Through the opening of
this ditch several hundred
acres of land that has heretofore
been worthless as agricultural
land, will be drained and made
available for agricultural purposes
and it is expected that a large
area of lands that have been idle
will be opened and put into cult
walton. The lands in the district
embrace some of the most fertile
in Big Bottom which has become
famous as one of the most pro-
ductive agricultural districts in
the entire Southwest.

FEDERAL PLUMS
WILL SOON RIPEN
Government Positions in Arkan-
sas Paying $3.50, 900 Will
be Open to Democrats

One of the greatest and most
direct effects of the recent Demo
cratic landslide, in Arkansas, is
the transfer of the federal patron
age from the Republicans to the
Democrats. With the exception
of the Cleveland interregnums,
the Republicans have had control
of all federal offices in the state
since the war, and now the Dem
ocrats are once more coming into
their own. And there will be no
lack of aspirants. They had
already begun circulating petit
tions when the returns from
Acushnet were announced at l
o'clock the day of the election.
And now they are everywhere
getting busy.
The federal patronage in Arkan-
sas is worth, in round numbers,
$4,000 a year, and there is a
lack of sincerity in the Republican
remark, eve don't care, we have
had the cream of it, anyhow"
This patronage is distributed as
fnllnnrc.
The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1912-11-15

In addition to these offices, there
are various subordinate positions
not absolutely controlled by the
Civil Service, which will be at the
disposal of the party in power.
The last Congress took from par
tisan control 1850 postofices of the
fourth class which had heretofore
been a most important part of the
Republican party machinery. But
there still remains enough to make
the spoils of the victory equal al
most to a quarter of a million dol
lars.
