Several hours later, after the

THAW SANE, SAYS
JUDGE AND JURY
Noted Prisoner, After Fighting for
Nine Years, Is Adjudged to
Be a Sane Man.

Albany, N. Y, July 16.-(Spe-
cial to The Press. Harry X.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White
against whom he held grievances
on account of the latters atten-
tions to his wife, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, was this morning released
from custody upon fifty thousand
dollars bond. Thaw will start at
once, in company with members of
his family, for a visit to the San
Francisco exposition.
Thaw's release came as a result
of the findings of a jury holding
him to be sane While the jury's
findings were merely advisory to
the court, and in no sense bound
the judge to abide by the decision,
nevertheless Judge Hendrick sus-
tanned the verdict and ordered the
prisoners release. An appeal was
taken to the U. S. supreme court,
and while the case is pending be-
fore that tribunal Thaw will be
allowed to go free on his bond of
$4,000.

SPRICDALE'S FEUD
IS TOWN-EXTENSIVE
Bankers, Business Men and "0rdi.
nary Folk" Show Preferences
in Old Scrap.

Fayetteville, Puly 19.-Bud AL
Wis, city marshal of Springdale,
attempted to shoot Lin Hinson with
a pistol. The fact that the car
fridge failed to explode is the only
reason there was no serious dam
age. Avis also is deputy sheriff.
Avis said Hinson was advancing
on him with an open knife. Hinson
insists he made no hostile move.
Stories of eyewitnesses vary. I'M
mediately after the attempted
shooting Hinson boarded a south
bound train for Fayetteville, where
he informed Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Flowers of the trouble.
Mr.. Flowers directed that Avis
be arrested on a charge of assault
with intent to kill and a warrant
was issued by Justice w. w. Bish-
op. A preliminary hearing will be
held Monday morning at 10 o'clock
before Justice Bishop.
Avis had trouble with Hinson
several months ago. Last April
they engaged in fight lasting for
several hours. Hinson has been in
Fayetteville for the past few weeks
serving out time on a few of his
sentences. The sheriff allowed him
to remain as trusty and he was
never held in confinement. Mayor
Lane of Springdale has taken sides
with Hinson against Avis and
threatens to discharge the marshal,
but opposition by aldermen, who
threatened impeachment proceed
ings, has prevented any move by
the mayor.
Sheriff Morton is being besieged
with petitions asking both that AL
Wis be discharged and that he be
retained. Practically every citizen
of Srringdale has signed one or the
other of the petitions.
When the warrant for his arrest
was served on Avis Saturday two
bankers of Springdale went on his
bond and a number of merchants
raised enough money by popular
subscription to pay his attorneys
fee.

YOUNG MAN MEETS
A SHOCKING DEATH
James Bateman, Injured When
Team Ran Away, Died Last Night
in Local Sanitarium

iFrom Saturdays Daily Press.l
James Bateman, aged % years,
employed as farm hand by Ell
more Thurman, residing three
miles east of Paragould, died at
the Paragould sanitarium at one
fifty this morning as the result
of fearful injuries received late
yesterday afternoon when he was
run over by a wagon. The bones
in his face were badly smashed, his
jaw bone broken, nose broken,
skull fractured over the right eye
and his left eye was pushed out of
the socket. Despite these fearful

had a party named Evans hitch a
horse to a buggy and drive him to
Paragould for medical aid. He
went to the office of Dr. w. r.
Owens, who, after a hurried exam
nation, told Bateman he would
have to take him to the sanitarium
for an operation. The young man
declined to ride to the sanitarium,
preferring to walk, and after he
reached the institution he insisted
on walking upstairs to the operat-
ing room instead of taking the
elevator. The physicians patched
up his wounds. removed the injured

iFEUD RESULTS IN
DEATH OF TWO men
Knives and Shotgun Feature il
Bloody Tragedy Near Conway,
Caused by Family Trouble.

Conway, July 20.-Leaving his
adversary nearly lifeless from ter
rible cuts following a hand-to-hand
battle with knives, Tom Acton,
farmer, aged 60, was shot to death
in his home near Bono, Is miles
northwest of Conway, a short time
later He died instantly. His SON
in-law, Virgil Byrd, %, died yes
terday morning from his injuries
and Actions slayer, Jake Byrd, Vir-
gil's father, has surrendered to the
police.
The three cornered tragedy had
its beginning in a fight between
Acton and Virgil Byrd, which had
been brewing for several weeks, as
the result of family troubles. The
two men, after a few words, each
drew their knives and clashed in
the darkness.
The battle continued for several
, minutes, neither inflicting any ia
tai wounds. Acton pierced young
, Byrd in the abdomen, and after
hacking him several more times,
left him lying on the spot. Ellis
Fork, who is subpoenaed for the
investigation, is said to be the on
ly eyewitness of the fight.
Byrd's body was not removed
from the scene of battle for six
hours, until the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff Summers, United States
Marshal Charley Payne and DR..
George Brown. Byrd was uncon-
! scious then, and lived but a few
hours.
Learning of the tragedy. Byrd's
father loaded his shotgun and pro-
ceeded to the Acton home. Walk
/ ing to the door and surprising Ac-
ton, he opened fire. Acton fell to
the floor and died almost instant
ly. There was one witness to the
shooting.
Trouble between the Byrd and
Acton families is sald to have start
ed over the compulsory marriage
of Byrd to Actions daughter, Ber-
tina, two years ago. He is alleged
to have mistreated her, leaving
home and remaining away a
month. This was intensified a
year ago by a clash over the pas
turing of some stock.
The shooting is the first capital
crime here since the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Honea by Lee
Blount, last fall. Both crimes come

required the services of three at
tendants to hold him in bed. His
sufferings were ended at one fifty.
Bateman had driven a team of
mules, hitched to a wagon, into the
field to get load of green corn.
The mules became frightened and
were about to run away. Bateman
was thrown out of the front of the
wagon and the wheels passed over
his face.
The young mans parents are
dead, but he had three brothers and
one sister residing in and near Par
agould. His sister is staying at the
home of Rev. w. c. Wood. One
brother, Roy Bateman, resides on
East Lake street. Another broth
er, Hobart, lives at Cardwell, and
still another resides north of Para
gould.
Young Bateman's body was taken
to the home of his brother on East
Lake street. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. w. c. Wood at
the home at three thirty this aft
ernoon, followed by interment in
Linwood cemetery.

NIX ON AN EARLY
PRIMARY ELECTION
No Movement on Foot in Greene
County to Nominate Candidates
This Fall.

Two weeks ago an article APP
peared in this paper suggesting the
wisdom of holding the democratic
primary election for the nomina-
ton of candidates for county Of
fices in September, 1915, two
months prior to the general state
election that will be held in No
vember. Apparently some have
misconstrued the suggestion and
are laboring under the impression
September, 1915, was the time sug-
gested by the article. The Rus
sellville Record, assuming Septem-
Der of this year was meant, COM
ments as follows:
"T. E. Haley, chairman Of the
democratic central committee of
Greene county, has been requested
to call a meeting of the commit
tee at an early date for the purpose
of fixing the time for holding the
primary election for the nomination
of candidates for county offices.
The above clipped from the Para
gould Press indicates that the poll
tician in Greene county of the
sooner variety, is still on the job.
The county chairman of Greene
county indicated that he would is
sue a call soon, but went on record
as favoring primary late next
summer. And why not? The next
state election will be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, 1916. Can any
body give any good reason why the
county or state primary should be
held next March? Common sense
would dictate the holding of the
primary somewhere about two
months before the general election,
say about the first of September,
1916. This would give all prospec-
tive candidates time in which to
lay by a corn crop at least, before
starting on an active campaign.
What say you, candidates, to a late
summer campaign and a September
primary"
So far as we are advised neither
the voters nor the candidates de-
sire an election more than one year
in advance of the general election,
but the suggestion that the pri-
mary be held in September, 1916,
has met with almost universal ap-
prevail Chairman Haley has not
yet issued the call for the meeting
of the central committee but it is
expected he will do so within the
next few days.
