Death Was Accidental.

Little Rock, Dec. 16.-William Foster and Oscar Doyle and H. e. Overstreet, pharmacist, ar rested in connection with the death of Mary Harris, inmate of a resort at S201/a Main Street, were released by Justice T. B. Wv when evidence introduced at their hearing yesterday after noon failed to substantiate charges of murder on which the
 three were held.
 At an inquest conducted yes terday morning by Coroner Matin P. McNeil, it was shown that Mary Harris death was due to an overdose of heroin, a con- monly used drug. Foster and
 Doyle were shown to have been with the girl prior to her death, and to have been in the resort when she took the drug. It was shown also that Doyle was sent
 by the girl to purchase the drug
 and that he procured it of Ov- erstreet at the Ellison pharmacy, l 1928 Washington avenue. But the circumstances tended to
 show that the trio, Foster, Doyle
 and the Harris girl all were us
 ing the drug and that she took
 an overdose accidentally,
 The girl was found dying ir
 her room at the resort early Monday morning. Her body probably will be taken to Wat
 son, her home, for burial, Pend ing definite arrangements the
 body is being held at the Owens
 and Kicks Undertaking estab'

Editor of Independent:

Editor of Independent:
 Dear Sir:-Please allow me space in you paper to thank the good people of Tuckerman for their cordial and generous re- ception to us on our return for another year. No people that we have ever served have been more pronounced in apprecia- tion, none have been more thoughtful and generous.
 Day by day, since we return ed, have we been remembered, but Tuesday night we were stormed with good things, by way of a real old fashioned "Methodist Pounding"
 We cannot but believe Our lives have fallen to us in pleas ant places" Our hearts are glad and happy. We begin the new years work much encourag- ed and fully determined, by Gods help, to make it our best.
 To those who have thus re- membered us, we are very grateful and upon each one we pray the Fathers blessings.
 Very sincerely,
 w. P. HARRINGTON.
