EXPLAINS "AUTO ACCIDENT."

On the Sulphur Springs. pike on Sunday evening, July 27, when R. E. Ferguson. coming home sick from his job as switchman was nearly run down by a party in an auto, running at so great speed that he could not possibly know whether it was little, irresponsible Bennie Mathews or a man of 30. He says he heard the alarm all the time and bore as far to the right-so much so that he was in danger of getting in the ditch, after giving them all the pike that was due them and more.
 The machine brushed his leg, and had he not been coasting. would have been upset by the impact received from the speeding parties.
 Heretofore it has only been horses, cattle, hogs and dogs, but now it looks as if they are determined to add to the list human life.
 He well knew that he would have to block their road by laying his wheel across the highway, and not the shotgun; but for self-preservation and safety, he carried the gun, not knowing whether the parties had fire arms or not. and might resent his request in order to see who he was indebted to for the shock he had un- dergone, and give them little advice and warned him that if he or any Oth' CT should, in the futuIe run hin down after he had given all the right of-way except the very margin of the ditch, he would certainly shoot them. Now that is the extent of the threa to shoot. spoken of in the Graphic and also Commercial

 There is no town people out on the campus this season which may ac- count for the recklessness of the speed run by a majority of the autos. Those using autos should see to 1t that the ones in charge should be responsi- ble and not children.
 Life is too dear to do much hazard OuS running.
 Yours in good faith his father

GOES TO THE GRAND JURY Alleged Forger Valves Elk animation When Ar

WIFE WANTS BLAME
Bond Fixed at $500 and Accused Man May Secure His Release
 Today.

R. A. Powell. the young man who was arrested some time ago ill St. Louis, on request of Chief Stewart and who is charged with obtaining $500 on a forged certificate of de- posit at the Bank of Pine Bluff. full account of which appeared at the time in the Graphic, was brought be- fore Magistrate J. A. Frazier yester- day afternoon and bound over to the grand jury. He waived examination. His bond was fixed at $500
 This case has attracted wide atten- ell that it was she who secured the certificate and signed her fathers name to it, and that her husband then came to Pine Bluff from Star City and secured the money from the Bank of Pine Bluff The couple then quietly disappeared and it was several days before the forgery was discovered and the officers notified.
 The only excuse offered by Mrs, Powell for her act was that she felt that she had as much right to the money as anyone, as she had worked in the field all of her life up to the time she was married, and that her father, A. V. Verdue, had never given her a cent in her life. that she had been denied the many little pleasures of girlhood in the way of pretty dresses, trinkets, etc.. and that she felt like it was justly hers. This story of girl who never owned cent of money or new trunk until after she was married to Powell, coupled with the fact that the pair have a smil- ing, bouncing boy. who has just cele- brated his first birthday. and who comes within his range, has brought forth many expressions of sympathy for the devoted couple.
 District Attorney Parham represent ed the state while Attorney T. Havis Nixon was employed by the defendant The only witness examined yesterday was c. w. Pettigrew. assistant cash fer of the Bank of Pine Bluff, who cashed the certificate for Powell and who furnished an accurate descrip tion to the officers at the time The evidence of Mir. Verdue, given at a former hearing, was accepted by both the state and defendant and was made part of the records in the case yesterday.
 Powell is still in jail but it is claimed by his attorney that bond for his ap pearance will be made today and that he will be released.

ENDS OWN LIFE
Shoots Himself Through the
Head in Alameda Park;
Out Of Work.

AIamogordo. n. NJ, Dec. 1e--Doubt-
less respondent over business affairs
and lack Of work, Harvey Davidson,
formerly a resident Of this. city, shot
out his life yesterday afternoon IN
6ssufifu1 Alameda park. There was
no eve witness to the tragedy and at
the time the body was discovered the
deed had been done probably Tor ABOUT
an hour or more
J. H. O'Reilly, conductor OF the
CIoudcroft branch Of the Southwestern
railroad, was the first man to reach the
body. In coming in on his train IN the
afternoon, which runs into the city
along the Southwestern main line and
next to the park, he noticed the body
as it lay across one OF the benches,
seemingly a man asleep. Going out to
Investigate, he discovered the lifeless
body.
The deed was done with A colts
revolver. the weapon lying on the
ground at the feet of its victim. where
il had fallen after the deed. Davidson
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-12-10

shot himself through the right temple
the bullet going entirely through the
forehead and striking a building on
the south side of Tenth street about
500 yards distance. Many people heard
the shot, but paid but little attention
to IL.
Davidson was one OF the early resi-
dents of this city, coming here with the
FL Paso Northeastern railroad as one
Of its employees. AT the time Of the
building Of the ClOudcrOft branch he
had charge Of the bending Of the rails
for that difficult piece Of work. He
later served as bartender for the saloon
here for a number OF years.
About three years ago he left here
and since has lived at various places
in Arizona He came back here about
two months ago, stating at the time
that he had tried to secure employment
all over Arizona, but without success
During the past two weeks he made q
trip into Texas, presumably in search
Of employment.
He is survived by his wife and one
boy, who are in ClOudcrOft- His mother
also survives him, at an age Of about
so years, and is a resident Of this city.
In a ring to his watch chain was a
note, in which he stated that he wished
his watch and chain to &c to his little
son.

BASEMENT SALOONS ARE NOT
10 BE PIT OTT OF RTSINEs

Austin. Tex, Dec. 1O.-Aceording to
chief liquor permit clerk North Ray,
Of the controllers department. not over
half a dozen saloonkeepers in the state
viii be affected by the ruling given
the department some time ago which
puts the ban on saloons situated in
easements. The liquor law requires
that there shall be no screens to hide
the bar or interior of a saloon and that
the saloon shall be in fun view of the
public. 1t is held that a saloon stu
ated in a basement is not in cOmpli-
anes with this provision Of the law.
Mr.. Ray does not intend to follow
any radical plan in this matter, but on
the contrary all of the saloons now
in Easements will be permitted to
operate their places Of business until
their licenses expire.

A REVELATION
TO THE SICK
DPS. YOUNG AND HINToN'S OFFICE
Is CROWDED EVERY
DAY.

No person should submit to surgical
operation without first consulting a re-
liable specialist such as DIS. Young and
Hinton have proven themselves to be.
Are you weak; worn ont? On the
verge Of collapse or breakdown! Would
you like to have a vigorous, healthy
body? Drs. Young and Hinton's patients
are surprised at the rapidity with which
the diseases they treat respond to their
treatment. Nearly every day people are
turned away from their offices because
the day is not long enough to give them
attention.
Encouraged by the uniform success,
attendant on their long and varied prac-
tiee, they eaH your attention to the
great army Of cured patients, which are
more eloquent than any other statement.
Their treatment rouses the liver from
its torpor to increased activity and force,
stimulates the digestive organs to
healthy action, increases and purifies
the vitality Of the blood, unloads,
cIeanses and induces normal action Of
the bowels. Here Is what one Of their
patients has TO say of their treatment
for gaIlstones:
Dear DoctoTss suppose you would
like to hear from me. Well. am feeling
me. an farming seventy-five acres
Of ground this year and milking eight
COWS morning and evening every day. I
want to say-to you that this is the first
time IN fifteen years that 7 have been
able to do a days work or part of one.
I an having no trouble with my stomach
or gallstones at al. If it wasn't for
the good appetite I have I wouldn't
know had a stomach at all. I sleep
fine and get up in the morning feeling
ike did when 1 first came to Iowa
forty years ago. I feel perfectly well,
but as you said it would take several
months TO cure me shall leave it to
You as to whether wiz need any more
medicine OF not.-yT. P. Silverthorne."
Drs. Young and Hinton have installed
their new discovery, the InhaIatorium
Cabinet, for the treatment Of Consump-
ton, Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Hay
Fever and all kindred diseases Of the
air passages. Persons so afflicted are
urged 10 come at once and take this
marvellous treatment and avoid future
suffering. It is the greatest stride for
ward medical science has ever known
for the treatment of the above ailments.
Drs. Young and Hin5on's modern
equipped offices are the finest in the
state and are located over the Union
Clothing Store, corner Oregon and San
Antonio Sts.. FL Paso, Texas. All inter
urban cars pass their door; they do not
take incurabIe cases; they personally
see all patients, and their examination. 1
consultation and advice are free to ALL
AdTe- tisement.
