N MEMORY OF SOVEREIGN
CLARA M. MURPHY.

Whereas, it has pleased the Divine
Father, the creator and preserver of
the universe, to call home our dear

Therefore be it resolved, That while
we bow our heads in humble submls-

we recognized her as not only a
Christian of sterling quality and a
faithful worker in the fraternal
cause, but as tender hearted Sow
ereign, patient and loving, kind
hearted friend, mourning with our
sorrows, rejoicing with our joys, al
ways ready with cheering words for
the sorrowing. She was always
ready at any time for any service,
and throughout her entire life pre-

God and fraternity.
That her death has cast over us

RIVER BEGINS TO
FALL Al Fl. SMITH
SMALL DAMAGE EXPECTED
ARKANSAS WILL NOT PASS
MUCH BEYOND FLOOD STAGE
AT LITTLE ROCK.
From Saturdays Daily.

! Arkansas river planters at Conway
are greatly cheered today over pros
poets that the river will not reach
the stages predicted for it yesterday
and will not pass much, if any, be-
yond the flood stage at Little Rock
The river began falling at Fort
Smith this morning, after reaching a
stage of "a feet, three feet above food
stage. At o'clock this morning it
had receded one foot and stood at the
same point, % feet, which was regis
tered at the same hour yesterday
morning. At Dardanelle the river
came to a stand at $50 o'clock this
morning, reaching stage of % feet,
a rise of three feet in "a hours. AT
Little Rock the stage at o'clock to-
day was 1928 feet, Z foot under flood
stage and a rise of 81 feet in "a
hours.
Section Director H. S. Cole pre-
dicted this morning that the river
would crest at Little Rock between %
and "a feet. Yesterday the predic-
ton was 25 to 26 feet.
The weather reports this morning
show no rain in the Arkansas river
basin, fair weather prevailing in the
western districts.
Telephone reports from the river
front in Faulkner county today state
that the Arkansas, while still slowly
rising, was expected to come to
stand some time tonight. 1t rose sew
en- inches between $50 and $3.50
o'clock this morning, but since that
hour the rise has been at the rate of
about one inch an hour.
Little damage has as yet occurred
as a result of the high water. A COM
paratively few acres of extreme low
lands, unprotected by levees. have
been inundated, but the loss so far is
insignificant.

ISLANDERS FINED
S7S,5OO BY court
LITTLE DEFENSE OFFERED
HEAVY PENALTIES LEVIED BY
CIRCUIT JUDGE J. S. DRIVER
AT TEST HEARING.

Osceola Aug. 19.-Fines aggregat-
ing S78,500 and Jail sentences total
ing $500 days, were yesterday as
sessed against six of the twelve men
whom the Mississippi county grand
jury indicted last Saturday on counts
ranging from four to thirty-five in
connection with the raid on Island 81,
July 81, in which Sheriff Samuel d.
Mauldin was killed. The fines and
sentences were imposed by Circuit
Judge J. S. Driver, in the test case
of the State VS.. J. A. Osborne, in
which the jury, after an hours de-
liberation, returned verdict of
guilty.
Six of the twelve against whom in
dictments were returned, agreed be-
fore the opening of the Osborne trial
to rest their cases on the outcome of
this trial and to accept the same
penalties on each count against them
as assessed against Osborne. The re-
naming six will probably be put on
trial this week.
The heaviest penalties imposed by
the court were against J. A. Osborne,
Bob kcnton, T. F. Kenton and Dave
Hearne the last three of whom will
be place on trial Thursday on
charges of accessory to the death of
Sheriff Muldin. Both kenton, in
dicted on 26 counts of bootlegging
and five counts of carrying a pistol
was fined $4,000 and sentenced to
$50 days in Jail.
Dave Hearne, against whom %
counts charging bootlegging and 10
charging carrying a pistol, were re-
turned, was fined S17,500 and SEN
fenced to 1,050 days in Jail. T. F.
Kenton was fined S10,500 and given
a $50 days Jail term. Osborne was
fined $4,000 and given SO days in
Jail.
Others against whom indictments
upward of four counts were returned
and who were fined and sentenced,
are the following: Ed Patterson, Jr.,
fined $4,000, 12O days in Jail, and
Simp Clark, fined $1,000 and $50
days in Jail.
Indictments have also been found
against Sam Landon, negro, Is
counts; George Gray, negro, five
counts; Ed Patterson, ST., six counts;
Elijah Bryant, negro, 10 counts, and
A. l.. ("Red") Thompson, 10 counts.
All indictments returned by the
grand jury charged bootlegging,
gaming and carrying pistol. In
all, the jury returned total of ITO
indictments against the occupants of
the island.
The jury sitting in the hearing to-
day before Judge Driver remained
out but short time before returning
verdict of guilty against Osborne.
None of the sentences was less than
$4,000, and no sentence less than 12O
days in jail

FLOOD STAGE IN
RIVER PREDICTED
ARKANSAS RISING FAST
MUCH DAMAGE LIKELY TO RE.
SUIT FROM HIGH WATERS
IN LOWLANDS.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
A stage of 25 to 26 feet in Arkan-
sas river at Little Rock is predicted
/ by Section Director H. S. Cole. This
means that the flood stage of % feet
at the point will be exceeded by two
to three feet and indicates that a
large amount of lowlands in Faux
ner county will be overlooked
The river rose la feet at Fort
Smith during the "a hours ending at
/ 8 o'clock this morning, reaching %
feet, or one foot above food stage.
At Dardanelle the rise was 9.5 feet
to a stage of q feet and at Little
Rock the stage this morning was Is
feet, rise of % feet. At the mouth
of Cadron creek in this county the
river is reported to have risen about
six feet during the night and was
still rising rapidly.
Little rainfall occurred during last
night in the western basin of the Ar,
kansas, and fair weather is predicted
for the next "a hours. The rainfall
since Tuesday night, however, has
been enormous, amounting to six
inches at Fort Smith, eight inches at
Dardanelle and five and one-half
inches at Little Rock.
All small streams tributary to the
Arkansas are already filled to over
flowing, so that the effects of the
rise at Fort Smith will doubtless be
fully felt here, and owners of river
land in this county are expecting a
stage fully equal to that reached May
81, this year, when 25.6 feet was re-
corded on the guage at Little Rock
and thousands of acres of lowlands
were overfowed AS none of the
crops planted on these lands have
been harvested, an overflow at this
season will probably mean a total
loss.
After about three days and night of
incessant rain at Conway, stlH
breeze from the northwest broke up
the clouds this morning and the city
is rapidly drying out of her water
soaked condition. Practically SIX
inches of rainfall occurred during the
three days, the total up to 5 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon being SO inch
es with. last nights rain to be added
to that amount.
Linemen of the municipal light
plant were kept on the jump all day
yesterday and last night, repairing
broken wires. Watersoaked branches
of trees, weighted down by the rain,
crossed the wires, forming a perfect
conductor and short-circuiting the
wires. The damage, however, was
very slight.

Little Rock, Aug 21.-Several
thousand dollars remained over night

$12,912.23 was general revenue and
