Brass Kid Takes Appeal.

~
Little Rock, June 26.-An in
teresting transcript filed in SUI
preme court Wednesday was that
of counsel for Herbert Coon, ali
as James H. Ward, alias Brass
Kidd. alias Bert B. Sterling,
alias H. Waite.
He was convicted April 26,
1918, and sentenced to five
years imprisonment for grand
larceny, for the alleged theft of
$4,000 from Frank P. Fox at
Hot Springs. Motion for q new
trial was overruled by Judge c.
I. Gotham May ?, and the bond
of the accused fixed at $4,000.
The motion for 2 new trial set
up numerous grounds alleged to
be preiudicial to the interests of
the accused. Considerable
stress is laid upon the charge
delivered by Judge Gotham to
the grand jury, which it is alleg-
ed. influenced the grand jury in
returning the indictment against
Coon. In the course of his
charge, Judge Gotham said:
''Do you not think it is high

cordance with their oaths of of

Newport now enjoys lower rates
than the average city of this
size in Arkansas, but if the pres
ent conditions about many Of
our store buildings and homes
are not improved, Newport peO-
pie may have to pay more insur-
ance. The business men and
citizens generally ought to rem
edy these conditions now before
an inspection is made and then
maintain this standard. The IN
dependent is not advocating a
temporary cleanup and a rid
dance of fire traps and sources
of danger to fool an inspector,
but persistent and continued eff
fort to reduce the fire hazard in

Car Turns Turtle-Fiye Injured
Hot Springs, June 25. - An
automobile accident a mile from
the city limits, on the Mountain
Valley road, this afternoon about
$50, caused severe injuries to
four of the city's leading bust
ness men and probably fatal re-
suits to another.
They are:
Will Lake, insurance end real
estate agent, with the J. H. Az
cry Company, back badly LAGER
ated, cut on forehead, nose and
left arm and slight conclusion of
the brain.
Joe Klyman, proprietor of KY
mans Cleaning Works, fracture
of the right arm and face badly
bruised.
G. w. Vaughan, retired grocer,
left arm broken at the elbow
and back injured and hurt in
ternally.
E. NJ. Cohen, real estate and in
surance AGENT. with RelGing &
Stallcup, laceration on left side
of the head and right shoulder
bruised.
Robert Jones, manager of the
A. C. Jones Ice Company, back
severely injured, cut on head and
suffering from severe shock.
The men were on their way to
Ozark Lithia, and when about
so yeards from Col. S. w. For
dyce's residence at the top of a
steep incline, the car started to

Newport has an ordinance that
is compelling practically every
business house in the city that
has no delivery wagon, andmany
of those that have, to burn their
waste paper and refuse in mar
row back yards or keep it piled
in boxes in the rear of stores and
these narrow yards. Why, be-
cause it costs so cents or 81, to
secure dray to haul load of
refuse paper out of the city and
the expense is almost prohibitive
to most lines of business. Sew
eral fires have already resulted
from this condition and luckily
the losses thus far have been
light, but if the council persists
in ignoring the general CON-
plant against the recent ordin-
ance which brought about and is
responsible for this condition.
we cannot always expect to es-
cape with small losses.
Newport daily independent., 1913-06-27


If the council will spend ten
minutes looking into conditions
that prevail in the rear of stores
on Front and other business
streets, they cannot but be con-
WINGED that the ordinance pro-
hibiting the burning of refuse
paper in the alleys was a mistake
and it is due the business men
and property owners that it be
recognized. The burning of
trash in alleys and side streets
ought to be encouraged instead
of penalized.
Newport daily independent., 1913-06-27

In st. Louis, we are reliably
informed, you may burn paper
and refuse in the alleys, in New
port, you can't. Practically ev-
cry business man in the city
wants the privilege of burning
paper in the alleys and if our
city government proposes to be
responsive to popular will, this
ordinance that is so obnoxious
will be repealed.

The insurance rates for New
port are soon to be settled, bas-
ed upon the reports of inspec-
tors, who are looking over con-

and refuse can be burned in the
alleys, the property owners and

WOW! HERE is A ROAST!

Editor Jackson Daily News:
The mothers and fathers of Jack
son who are trying to aid in the
fight against the social evil are
leaving a part of their work UNI
done.
Perhaps if they will attend one
of the dances in Jackson with
their daughter and son, and see
the vulgar dances that are given
on the ball room floor they will
take a stand against such things.
You, who think that your
daughter is dancing as you did
some fifteen or twenty years ago,
are mistaken about it.
just drop in at the next dance.
1t will begin near midnight
Watch your daughter and son
walk George, turkey trot and tan
go! Whose fault is 1.-THE girls
or the chaperones'? Both. The
proper chaperone would not per
nit the dance to begin at such a
late hour and would not allow
such dancing as is going on in
jackson. Ii you could be in the
background to see the dancers
and hear what the very boys who
rush your girl, have to stay about
them, you would take the propo-
siton in your hands.
Not only should these dances
be stopped, but also the extreme
mode of dressing. Yes, reader, |
am talking to you about your
daughter, the one who is being
talked of by every boy and man
of this town, if she is among those
who participate in these vulgar
dances. SUBSCRIBER
