NOR WORKED OPENLY
Sheriff and Deputies OverpOwer- ed and Hanging Ensued In Jail Yard From Small
 Elm Tree.


 Within a stones throw of the court house and one of the churches, where services were being held upon the Sabbath day the body of a negro Howe Davis, was hoisted from the ground by means of a rope over the limb of a tree in the court house yard and left hanging for nearly ah hour after life had left the dan gling form. He had paid the quick penalty of an awul crime, one that had aroused the city and county, the wilful murder of Night Officer James Payne, ear ly that same Sunday morning. The mob's work was speedy, it's onrush had thrown down the officers and secured the keys of the iail, where the covering wretch was quickly apprehend- ed and dragged forth by deter mined men. He foresaw his fate and sullenly refused to con- fess his crime or make any statement except to say that his accomplice did the shooting. The only wonder of the days events is that this other negro was not taken at the same time and that he would have been later, there is little doubt. This was recog- nized by Sheriff McCuistion. who with other officers eluded the men demanding vengeance and carried the other negro to White River Bridge in time to board No. 3 for Little Rock. where he is now in the peniten- tiary for safe-keeping.
 Sunday was a day of great eX- citement, the murder of popu- lar officer discovered, the in creasing fury of the people that was partially satisfied in the ex- acting of the guilty negro's life, the revival of the mob spirit as crowds from the country reach ed the city and the escape of the second negro from a similar judgment through flight of the officers-these were the success sive events of the day.
 MURDER OF NIGHTOFFICER
 Night Officer James Payne ov- erhearing the talk of Davis and another negro, Woodland, found they were preparing to burglar ize a store on Lower Front Street. He removed his star and left his billy at the Walton res taurant about ? o'clock Sunday morning, stating that he expect ed thus to walk upon couple of thieves.
 He intercepted the negroes near Dr. Nelligan's hospital and ordered them to surrender. Ac- catding to Woodland, the other n&gro Howe or Joe Davis,as he IS batter known, began shooting, firing a 38 pistol two or three times. As Officer Payne was taken by surprise, he is thought to have jumped from the walk, drawing his gun at the same time. A bullet from the negro's revolver entered Payne's back just to the left of the spinal col utnn and ranged through the heart probably and coming out in the right breast. The brave officer seems to have gone to his knees, but as he did so he emp tied his 32 calibre weapon upon the negro, shooting five times. One of these bullets went through the neoro's leg in the region of the hip. The negroes ran, but the wounded Davis left a trail of blood, that showed he

 inf. And 8 second time he was
 pulled limbward and there left
 dangling for nearly an hour af-
 ter all signs of life were gone. I He was then taken down and
 carried to Drummond's under
 taking rooms. The inquest held
 over his remains was profitless.
 Of the hundreds who saw the
 mob, none knew it's membership.
 The unwarranted crime of the negro, in the wanton murder of an officer doing his duty had merited the death which befell the brute, and the jury, of course, found that he came to his death by unknown hands. ] Davis is said to have come from Poplar Bluff and to have been working at the oil mill. The undertaken says that his hands are as soft as woman's; that he was doubtless one of the idle class that are menace, because their living must come through crime.
 The hanging of Davis did not satisfy the mob. The crowd be- came augmented by hundreds from the country and 1t was re- ported that an even larger num- Der was coming from Tucker man, the former home of James Payne. At any rate, Sheriff Nc Cu;stion, to avoid a double lynch ing, slipped the other negro, Woodward, out of the jail about , o'clock, rushed him through the court house to an automobile in waiting and away the party sped to Front street and to White River Bridge, where No. 3 was boarded. Deputy Sheriff James Tasting and H. s. Simmons &C., companied Mir. McCuistion and the car was driven by Lucien Daugherty, MT. Tasting going with the sheriff and prisoner to Little Rock.
 The negro is said to have rais- led a crop on the Davis farm, fnear Auvergne, an dto have lat CT worked for Muirhead's mill at Weldon. He was for several years a farmer on Denton Is- land, his father living there at the time.
 FUNERAL OF OFFICER.
 The funeral services of Night Officer Payne were held from the hometat 9 o'clock Monday morn ing, conducted by Rev. B. l.. Milford, the remains being talk en to Cheshire graveyard, near Elgin, for burial. He was mar ried twice and leaves a wife and eight children, four of whom are small. He left them practically penniless, because his meagre salary was no more than requir- ed for their support.
 Mayor Hubby is passing a con- tribution pledge and it ought to be a pleasure to our people to help this family, robbed of their support, because he was fearless in the discharge of his duty.
 Newport has never had a bet ter officer than James Payne. Big hearted, never downcast, but always cheerful, willing work CT, kind, honest and courageous, he was respected and esteemed by all who knew him.
 We appeal to all our people to help his family in distress. He bravely risked and lost his life in the protection of property and the preservation of our safety and peace and we pay tribute and recognition to the man in helping those he loved and who are left in need. Send in your subscriptions to Mayor Hubby, or the Independent.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

One of the most pleasing amateur
entertainments ever presented in this
city was given by the fourth, fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth grades of
the Sank Centre high school, under the
supervision of Misses Hedenstead,
Void, Payden, Maybury and Griesel
at the opera house last evening.
Miss Chelgren, principal Of the
grade building, procured the play and
exercised general supervision over its
production.
The entertainment was given in two
parts, the first entitled "Cantata of
the Moon Queen" and the second "fhe
Drill of the Seasons"
Little Miss Mildred Geuting presid-
ed at the piano in a manner that
would have done credit to a profess
sional, and Master Albert DuBeau and
Miss Sylvia Borgmann furnished the
violin music very artistically.
Each of the young people perfor-
med their parts splendidly, but lack OF
space will not permit us to individual
ize.
The receipts of the evning were
about $500, part of which was
utilized in the purchase of 500 beau
tiful badges to be worn by the school
pupils on Memorial Day.

BUYS A THOROUGHBRED PAGER

Last week George Butler of Sank
Centre bought through the Chicago
Horse Sale Company the very fine colt
fW. w. Peckham, which he proposes
to enter in future racing events al
though he probably will not track him
this season unless he enters him in
the "green" race.
The animal purchased is Symbol
Baron, Standard Registered HANDLE
tonian 1898, sire, Synboleer 1859,
mark 2:9R; dam, Sweet Expedition,
mark PA, and long line of distin-
guished ancestors.
Baron Symbol is a jet black stallion,
two years old, PAGER, and has made
an eighth in 1874 seconds without be-
ing pushed in the least. Expert horse
men pronounce him to be one of the
best colts in the country and great
things are expected of him in the fu-
ture. There are a number of tine
horses already owned in this city and
the local horsemen are delighted with
this notable addition to the local
string.
The Herald understands Baron
Symbol will be added to the Training
Stables of w. F. Sanderson.

TODD COUNTY POLITICS.

There is nifty legislative fight on
in Todd county at present time with
a big field of candidates. Banker Will
Wilke of Grey Eagle filed at the last
hour and his entry rather gums up
the cards. Prior to "Bill's" entry all
of the candidates were county option
but Mr.. Wilke is "wet." The Herald
editor has known Will for many years
as both came from the same little
Iowa village. He is splendid and
square business man and would make
a strong member of the law-making
body of the state. He is a graduate
of the law department. of Ann Arbor
University; has wide acquaintance
in his county, a live wire and will be
a hard man to beat. Go to it William,
and not only the Herald but your
many other Sank Centre friends are
hoping you will come under the wire
winner.

AN INTERESTING CASE

A very interesting case was tried
Saturday before Judge Diehl and a
jury. Last November Henry Stiers
of Ashley, while driving on the high
way, was dragged from his wagon by
a telephone wire that crossed the road
and which had been loosened by the
Storm. and had sagged low enough
to reach the wagon. The line belonged
to the Ashley and Sank Valley Rural
Telephone Co., and he brought action
against them for $500. d. c. Van
Camp appeared for the plaintiff and
A. II. Hendrickson for the Defendant
Company. The jury after being out
for some time, returned verdict fol
the plaintiff in the sum Of 800. and
costs. We understand that the case
will be appealed.
