Only seven or eight Colfax
automobiles attended the State
Fair at Shreveport on Jefferson
Highway Day. We were great
ly disappointed at the showing
made, as we expected twenty
cars to enter the contest, out of
the sixty cars in town. The
prizes were awarded as follows;
first prize to Dixie; second prize
to Stonewall; third prize to Ro-
beline. Between two or three
thousand automobiles are said to
have brought parties to the fair
numbering about IL, 900.

Bad Temper from Bad Liver.
You can generally blame your crouch
on a lazy liver. Liver ills are back of
coated tongue, bad breath. biliousness
and muddy, sallow complexion. Insult

the liver which poison the entire sys-

BAD KILLING
NEAR Huntsville
Sunday Night Tragedy Enacted
Near Hindsville When Neoma
Beach Shoots Earl Cisco
Wounded Boy Died From
Wounds Monday-Girl Under
Arrest.

\ tragedy that tingles with a
mixture OF hate, jealousy and
love: and which cost the life Of a
young man, and probably a pris-
on term for his former soul-mate
was enacted near Hindsville, III
Madison county, Sunday night Of
this week. Partieulars of the ter
rible affair reached Springdale
early Monday morning, as the
principals in the affair are we'll
known to a number OF local peo-
pie, and both come from highly
respected families.
The story IS rePlete with the
deep hatred OF a Jealous woman,
whose love was all powerful and
Ieapable Of a serious elimination.
Premeditated, it is alleged, care
fully planned, and calmly eXecut-
led il IS doubtful If the affair
has parallel IN the criminal his
tory OF the state
Sunday afternoon Earl Cisco,
Jagged Is, and Miss Neoma Beach.
II. together with other young
people OF their neiehhorhood were
spending the Sunday afternoon
in an enjoyable manner. Neoma
was formerly sweetheart OF
young Cisco, but lately they had
disagreed. and another young
man was claiming her attentions
In the course of the afternoon
strong drink was INDUCED in, to
such an extent that several III
the crowd became over intoXicat-
ed. In this condition the hatred
of the young men for each other
grew bold, and they engaged IL
a fisticuff. Young Cisco was the
victor. and this 50 incensed the
young girl that she developed an
insane desire to kill her former
sweetheart.
Aobut nine o clock Sunday
night, after she had gone to hel
home. the desire became SC
strong that she mounted a pony
secured a revolver that was KEEP
at her home, and rode through
the night to the home of the
young man, who lived with hi'
father. Some years ago TIT
mother of the young man died
and he and his father, \. j Cis
60 were living alone. Som,
time ago the girl s father died
and her mother has since married
On arriving at the house sh
called from the road, and III
father Of the young man answer
ed. She asked fer Earl. and hi
father replied that he had retil
ed. She then asked that he b
awakened. This the father dit
the young man coming N h
bare feet. She asked him TO pu
on his shoes and walk with her
short way. He went into Il
, house after his shoes, soon r
turning, and they walked a shoi
/ distance up nearby hollow
The Springdale news. [volume] (Springdale, Ark.) 1887-1990, 1916-06-16

They had hardly walked oat 81
pistol shot Of the house when size
turned on the young man and
asked if he had a pistol with him.
He replied that he did not. She
then said so much the better, :
drew the revolver from her
bosom. and fired point blank. II
! the first shot the young man
fell, but immediately tried 10 get
up. Seeing him down the young
girlthought her work hadZbee n
completed, and started to walk
away, .bat=hearing the boy try.
ING to get up She turned and fir
ed three times.
She then walked calmly to her
pony. mounted and rode to her
home. The young man by rolling
over and over finally got near
enough to the house that his
father could hear his cries .or
aid and the father hurried 70
him, CARRYING hm=into the houSe.
The young man was unable to
stand the severe wounds and died
early Monday morning. The girl
was arrested shortly att+rwHa.
All four shots took effect, one
through the right breast. two
through the abdomen. and one
through the left forearm
The above is practically the
story told by the young girl Mon
day afternoon, while ander ar
rest; and is almost the same story
as related by the young man to
his father shortly before he died.
The girl evidences very little
nervousness, when asked about
the affair; and is very calm and
pre-possessed. She acted very
unconcerned when arrested, and
makes no denial OF the horrible
details. but tells tie story in a
straightforward, unbroken man
ner. outlining each and every de-
tail.
Telephone communication with
Huntsville were broken during
the storm on Tuesday. and the
details of the preliminary hear
ing, or further details of the AT
fair could not be gained.
