 "A post mortem examination was held Thursday morning over the body of young karnes. All the local doc tors were present and were unani- nous in their opinion that death was the result of the knife penetrating the breastbone and entering the main artery just an inch or so above the heart. The wound was very small one, hardly larger than a button hole, and very little blood escaped, death being the result of an internal hem orrhage. There was a slight scratch on the arm made possibly by the knife, but there was no other wound. The witnesses said there were two or three blows but only one took ef- feet.

THE OTHER SIDE.

In commenting on the recent trial of Russell Rice, at Bentonville, in which the young man was acquitted of murder, because he was under the influence (. liquor, the Rogers Demo crat says:
 The acquittal Of young Rice came as decided surprise ot the people of Rogers, even his friends and rela= tives hardly expecting such a result. We have no comment on tie action of the jury. but We suppose their verdict was based upon the charge Of the judge and the argument of the at torneys, rather than upon the bare facts of the killing.
 We feel, however that the preeed= ent established in the case is a most dangerous one and that if ear ried to it's logical conclusion would mean that man under the influence of liquor could commit any crime and yet esefpe the penalty prescribed b

 On account of the prominence of the families the case attracted wide attention, and a great deal of it was morbid euriosity-a thing We do not like to see. It is right and proper for man S friends to be interested, but we feel sick when We see crowd of people lowering about a ser ious situation like this merely out of curiosity
 There is one thing that must be said about this case-it is the strong est lecture that has been delivered for many long year It was a pecu- liarly diabolical twist in the scheme #of human things that the sober man must pay with his life for a spree, while the other man escapes with the congratulations of his friends and we were one of the many friends glad to ihize with he parents of the dead boy Rice was worth saving because he is young man of brilliant mind, but we must repeat that the price was enormous -Bentonyille Demo-

law Nine-tenths of the criminal cas- es that have come before the circuit court this term, disturbing peace, as sault and battery, etc, have been the result of liquor but it has not saved the indicted from their fines Why should it save man then from the consequence of taking human life?
 There should be one result from this verdict. Every time man IS found on our street under the in fluence of liquor, he should be promptly jailed, no matter who or what he may be. For if a man un= der the influence of liquor may kill with impunity, he should be as promptly placed in confinement as though he were insane. Otherwise there is absolutely no protection for our people.
 The difference between the insane and the drunken man. is that the lat ter is in a condition that places his actions beyond his control through his own initiative. That ought to place him on a different plane in the eyes of the law.
 From the Democrat of July 9th we give the following account of the kill ing for which Rice was tried;
 Lloyd Karnes, youngest son of L. E Karnes. of this city, was stab bed and almost instantly killed about 30 o clock last Thursday by Russell Rice. Of =Bentonyille, oldest son Of fC. NJ. Rice, and a nephew of Dfs. k. $. and Clint Rice of this city.
 The stabbing occurred on the plat form of the Frisco depot and the young men were sitting side by side on a truck Rice, who had been drinking heavily, arrived from Monett on the noon train and was waiting around the depot for the train from gentonville. So far as is known. the two were strangers and there was no apparent cause or any evidence of quarrel.
 w. R. Webber was the first wit ness called before the coroner's in quest. Said he saw the stabbing; that Rice struck karnes three times, that there was no quarreling; Rice asked Karnes if he wanted to go to funeral; asked him h. bad he

TWO SIDES ID
 THE ACQU|T7AL
 0F RUSSEL RICE

The case of the state of Arkan nsas against Russell Rice, charged with manslaughter, was tried last Satur- day and jury of 12 citizens of Ben ton county returned d verdict of not guilty and the defendant was dis charged
 This was very satisfactory end ing of the matter and the incident is closed There has been one very happy result of this affair, and that is the absolute and complete rescue of this bright young man from the drink habit. It took q hard kick to jolt him out of it, but it did. The lift of another young man, however, was an enormous price to pay. and Rus sel Rice should value above all things his dearly bought redemption.
 There was no doubt left in the minds of the jury but that he was in. sane at the time of the killing-not senseless from his immediate drinkin!
 DuG iHSdilc lloIIl lli1 Vt ti- feets of long and earnest devotion To liquor Such was the testimony of the doctors acquainted with his case. The verdict, therefore, could have been no other This verdict was re turned by twelve good men from the various parts of the county, there being only two of the number from Bentonyille, the home of the defend ant The names Of the jurymen are as follows:
