DISCRIMINATION.

Russell Rice, brother of Jeff Rice, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney of Ben ton County is charged with having recently stabbed man to death in cold blood According to the evi- dence at hand the crime was of a most atroeious nature Mr. Rice comes from one of the best families in northwest Arkansas, but this fact should not create sympathy i'll his favor The fact that he IS suspicion ed of such a crime despite the train ing incident to his environment shoule initiate against him. Rice is HOW out on $I0,000 bond
 Arthur Whitener, another of the alleged murderers of northwest Ark ansas, in the past two weeks, has never been in jail and is now at large on a 3,000 bond.
 The question is not whether or hot these men are guilty, whether CT not they will attempt an escape un- yet even denied guilt and yet are der bond. The fact they have not held on rival bonds for an unbail- able offense Why this discrimin- ation? The notoriety does not bode well for our section and tends to de- noralize civilation and democratic government-Faye Daily.

Anderson Shippentower May Have to Face Charge Of
Murder Attack Occurs Near TutuiI|a Mission Last
Night -Woman's Skull is Fractured--No Reason

Remember What Took Place.

His brain crazed by "bootlegger
booze" Anderson Shippentower, a
we'll known young Indian, last night
brutally assaulted his wife and is to-
day in Jail with a strong probability
of a charge of murder being placed
against him. His wife, who is dau-
ghter of William Barnhart, is lying
in "A critical condition with a fracture

of her body paralyzed. Her chances
of recovery are said to be small.

this morning and found the left side
