ASKS LEGISLATIVE HONORS
L. F. Johnson of Sulphur Rock
 for Representative

L. F. Johnson, of Sulphur Rock, one of the county's best known citizens, announces in today's pa per as candidate for represent ative.
 Mir. Johnson is a Civil war vet eran, having enlisted in the Con- federate army at the outbreak of the war and served through the entire conflict. With the exception of a short time right after the close of the war, he has been a citizen of Independence county since his early manhood. He has always taken a keen interest in public affairs, and his voice, vote and influence has always been on the side of good citizenship and in favor of those things calculated to serve the best interests of the county.
 He has the reputation of being fair-minded and conservative on all questions, and he is a man whose motives and integrity are above question.
 If electected he will no doubt take care of the interests of the people in a satisfactory manner,a as he states that 1t is his desire to re- present all the people and not any particular faction and that he be- lieves in the good old Democratic slogan of Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.

 The members of all the churches in town are joining in the meeting and number of persons have united with the Baptist church as a result of the meeting.
 The meeting will continue for several days and Rev. Tatum has announced that another special service for men will be held next Sunday afternoon.
 Daily prayer services are being held at the homes of the various members of the churches each af- ternoon

BOYS ARRESTED
 MAKE ESCAPE
Claude and Willie Jones Charged With Robbing Store at
 Tuckerman

Claude and Willie Jones were arrested by Constable c. w. Com CT Wednesday morning, charged with having stolen a lot of watch es, razors, knives, etc, from s. l.. Bogle's store at Tuckerman.
 The boys were arrested at Paro- quet and were brought to Newark and placed in the calaboose to re- main until time for the night train when the officers expected to take them to Tuckerman for prelimi- nary trial.
 The boys were handcuffed to- gether and placed in the calaboose but when the officers went to get them just before train time they had escaped. The youngest boy slipped the handcuffs and togeth- CT they managed to pry the iron bars over the window open far enough to slip through and make their escape.
 When the boys were arrested several watches and razors were found in their possession which they were unable to satisfactorily account for. City Marshall w. r. Gire came over from Tuckerman and positively identified part ot the goods.
 MT. Bogle's store was robbed about two weeks ago, and about that time the Jones boys, who were away, returned home bring ing a lot of jewelry, knives and razors, and the officers have been quietly working on the case in an effort to secure a clue that would justify their arrest.
 The boys are about Is and F years old, respectively, and have the reputation of being pretty tough boys.

TIMBER MAN KILLS
 TRADER AT GUION
Men, Who Are Said to Have Been Drinking, Were Alone at
 The Time

Guion, Feb. 14.-DelbertH. Tate, a trader living at Guion, was shot and instantly killed at late hour last night in the north part of town by William Goodin, a timberman. The men were alone at the time and are said to have both been drinking. Tate was taking Goodin home. Goodin assigns no cause for the deed except that he had to kill Tate in self-defeuse. He shot him three times at close range with a revolver, the shots taking effect in his right arm, neck and breast.
 The two men had been together all evening and are said to have been drinking at different places around town. They had always been friends and there was no apparent difficulty between them last night.
 Goodin was bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury, which meets at the next term of the Izard Circuit Court.
 Goodin is married and has sev- eral children. Tate was 25 years old, and married, with one child. When the news of his death was broken to his young wife, her grief was pitiful.
