BUCHANAN'S PARTNER
HELD FOR MURDER
Story of trouble With Tramp
Was Faxed and Buchanan
Victim of Foul Play

According to late develop
ments, it appears that the
pearl fisherman named Buch-
anan who was reported to
have shot an alleged tramp
near Paroduet last week, was
himseIf TIE victim of foul
play, instead Of the tramp, as
was at first reported.
Huehanan's partner, whose
.nsme ii seems is impossible to
learn because OF the fact that
practically nobody knew any
thing about him or Buchanan,
IS The only person who wit
messed the supposed trouble
between Buchanan and the
tramp. He reported the mat
ter TO parties in the neighbor-
hood and stated that Bueh-
anan left there Immediately
after shooting the tramp.
Suspicious circumstances
and conflicting stories told by
him led to the believe that the
fellows story was all fake
and that he murdered Buch-
anan and either secreted the
body in some out of the way
place or weighted it down and
threw it into the river.
Buchanan had three child
fen, two girls and a boy and
it seems that they discovered
something Of the fellows deed
and gave him away.

Buchanans three children
have been placed in the coun-
ty house at Jachsonport.

Handsome Home Is
Destroyed by Fire

One of the most beautiful
and substantial homes in New
ark was reduced to ashes last
Friday morning, when the
handsome residence of Mr..
and Mrs. B. A. Magness was
totally destroyed by fire.
The fire originated in the
second story, presumably from
a defective fue, and had gain
ed such Roadway before dis
covered that it was impossible
o check the flames.
Famed by a brisk breeze
the flames wrought rapid de-
struetion and in few minutes
the once handsome home was
a seething mass of ruins.
Neighbors who rushed to
the scene were able to save
most Of the furniture from the
lower story, but nothing was
saved from the upper story.
Tn total loss or building
and contents is about $4,000,
with So, zoe insurance.
Mr.. Magness states that he
will rebuild some time within
the next few months.

said to have been written by
a young lady of this eommun-
Iity to a certain young man
who Is now a prominent coun-
ty official of independence

of a well know lady of New
ark, who kindly consented to
lend the missive to The Journ-
al for publication.
The county Official to whom
the letter was written, long
years ago, may not recognize

able that he will, and if anv
of the. officials who now have
headquarters in the court
house at Batesville fail to car

easy matter to locate the gen
tleman who 21 years ago re-
ceived the following letter:

SUNDAY CALLED A CLOWN
BY NEW YORK MINISTER
Evangelist's Tactics Arouse Ire of
the Rev. DR.. Jefferson.

NEW YORK, Jan. T.-"BiHy" Sunday,
tho "live-wire evangelist" was charac-
terized as a clown and a buffoon by the
Rev. DR.. Charles L. Jefferson, pastor of
the Broadway Tabernacle, who is leading
a movement in opposition to having the
preacher conduct a revival here. Despite
the fact that Sunday will not be received
with open arms by certain local clergy
men. more than 400 preachers have al
ready Joined in an invitation for him to
come to New York.
George C. Shane, secretary of the Phil
adelphia Evangelical Association, has adj
vised the local ministers 1t will be neces-
sary for them to raise $4,000 to defray
necessary expenses" before Sunday will
accept their invitation.
In referring to Sunday. Doctor Jeffer-
son said:
Sunday Is n clown and buffoon. His
remarks are irreverent and sometimes al
most blasphemous. You would imagine
that every person of refinement would
hiss him out of town that men and
women of civilization would not tolerate
such man preaching the Gospel They
say he is 'alive'-so you see persons will
tolerate this clown and buffoon simply
because he Is alive"
