 It Is Said.
 It is said that Judge Naples, among other things, gave the grand jury at Eureka Springs last week very Strenu- ous instructions regarding the running of picture shows on Sunday, and also asked the jury to investigate violations of the stock law of 1911, prohibiting the running at large of scrub bulls and male hogs.
 It is said that the jury on entering upon it's labors issued subppnas for many of the most truthful and prom- nent business men of the city and pro- ceeded to take them, one at time, through the swe&t-box with an array of questions as to whether or not they had seen any scrub bulls or hogs run nlng at large in the city.
 It is said that after long and laborious efforts they abandoned the inquiry and issued another batch of subpenas for all the prominent and industrious farm CTS in the country.
 It is said that they queried them fore and aft, endeavoring to extort from them information that picture shows were disregarding the Sunday laws in their respective communities.
 It is said that after searching and researching the grand jury adjourned with duty well done, but no indict- ments found.
 The people are wondering where those picture shows are ranging and just where these bulls and hogs are located, 1t is said.
 Shooting Affray Takes Place On Car About 250 Eureka Springs citizens and 1000 along the line, got glimpse at tinsel of the Barnum & Bailey's cir GUS at Joplin yesterday.
 tbp tincal unS all thou coyu y,o,lJ have been all right, but the drinking, carousing. swearing and finally ending in shooting affray, spoiled the days pleasure for all.
 It seemed there was plenty of booze among the excursionists, what was not in their stomachs, was in bottles in the pocket and in suit cases.
 On leaving Joplin a difficulty arose. wherein Homer Barker (colored) of this city, was shot by an automatic pistol in the hands of Ralph Kirkpat- rick of Osage, who it seems, was un- der the influence of liquor. The bullet passed through Homer's chin and graz ed his neck. Two others in the coach were struck by the same bullet: the bullet grazed the temple of one, and struck bottle of whiskey in the pock- ct of another.
 It took the conductor and several men to overpower Kirkpatrick an d take the pistol form him.
 Homer Barker was taken off at Ne osho. Mo-, for medical attention.
 While many saw the shooting, none seem to know just what the trouble was about, but rather think Kirkpat- rick was the aggressor.
 A. L. Bare and wife were seated just three seats from where Homer sat, but say there was so much loud talk ing it was difficult to hear just what was said, but one thing they do know, and that was that the coach was soon emptied of people.
 LATER-HOmer arrived on the II o'clock train and physician redressed his wounds. Not being able to talk, no particulars of the shooting could be obtained. Saturdays Time Echo.
 Homer Barker is getting along nice ly. He is now able to talk. When asked over the phone what caused the shooting, wherein he was shot through the chin coming from the cir GUS at Joplin last Friday, he said it was through a mistake kirkpatrick bullet was intended for Fred Fancher (colored) whom Kirkpatrick had words with. Homer holds no resentment, and says if the "white man" made mistake, he is willing to over look it. W ednesday's Times-Echo.
