NURDEROUS ATTACK
 ON SCHOOL TEACHER
Prof. J. c. Hoheimer, Principal Hat fields Schools, Saved From Death by Collar and Timely Aid
 Three in Jail.

Prof. J. c. Hoheimer, principal Of the Hatfield schools, lies near death as result of a knife cut i'll the throat at the hands of K. Q. Nor row, a i5-year-old boy who was expelled from school six or eight weeks ago. The boy, together with an older brother and Shelby Lebow, are in the jail here, held without bail, awaiting the re- suit of the injuries.
 From the best reports that can be gathered, young Morrow was expelled from the school because of general misconduct. He is said to have been twice drunk and disorderly. At tin time c.. w. Chase, also of Hatfield, is in the county jail charged with order ing whisky for young Morrow and other boys from Ft. Smith, deliver ing it to them on arrival.
 At recess time Monday afternoon, while in the hall of the school, Prof. Hoheimer saw young Morrow in the building. He went to him, 1t is said, and told him that he had previously been told to keep away from the school, and that the rule still was in force and must be compiled with, and that the boy must go at once. At that the pro lessor was told to make me, then" '" and he took Morrow by the arm and started to the door. With the boy was an older brother, Lloyd Morrow, about IS years old, but as this young man had good reputa- ton and had taken no part, the professor did not anticipate trouble 1 from him, but without warning he received a blow on the back of the head from this old brothers fist, knocking him down.
 Then it was that K. O., the younger brother viciously slashed Prof. Hoheimer in the left side of the neck with pocket knife, and was only prevented from doing more damage by the prompt inter ference of a young school boy, George Pottorf, about F years old, who pulled Morrow off the pro- lessor.
 Prof. Hoheimer was taken to his home, where his wound was dressed by Dr. D. w. Connally and Dr. c. F. Johnson. The wound start ed just behind the ear, ranging for ward and down for from six to seven inches. It was very deep. It's course was somewhat diverted by the collar worn by Prof Hoheimer or it would unquestionably have severed the jugular vein and brought certain death. It also is reported that the professor re- ceived stab wound in the shoulder. The condition of the victim is so serious that it was advised that his assailants be held without bail.
 After the fight and cutting the two brothers left K. Q. run ming across fields toward his home about half mile away, and Lloyd going quietly down town. Following K. Q. across the fields was Shelby Lebow, young man of about 20 years, who, it is claimed, was present and knew the trouble was brewing, and also is said to have offered the boy money with which to leave. He is charged as being an accessory.
 J. R. Morrow, the father of the boys, on learning of the affair, started to the town with K. O., and was met by an officer. who took Icharge of him. Lloyd Morrow and Young Lebow also were arrested, and were taken to the home of Con- stable w. A. Griffin and kept over night Tuesday morning they were taken before Justice Henry Arnold, who ordered them taken to the county jail and held without bail. | If on Saturday next the wounded man is considered out of danger. they will be taken before Justice Arnold at Hatfield for preliminary examination.
 Constable Griffin, Justice Arnold and George F. finders brought the three boys to Mena on the local freight Tuesday.
 The Morrow family came to Hat field from Texas about a year ago and are generally well thought of, the only one having ever made any trouble being young K. o.
 Prof. Hoheimer is highly respect ed and the people of Hatfield are much wrought up over the affair.
