HAWKINS DYING
AS OUTCOME OF
PRACTICAL JOKE
Young Farmer Shot In
Head Accidentally by
Wife Of Friend.

Holland Hawkins, aged % years, a
prosperous farmer living in the
neighborhood of Cal Newton's store,
but just across the line in Cleveland
county, is in critical condition at
the Clark sanitarium, with a wound
in his head, which he suffered
Thursday night at the home of a
neighbor, as the outcome of a prank
ish endeavor of a number of men to
brighten their wives.
A number of residents of that Sec
ton gathered at the home of one fam
lily, to celebrate Thanksgiving, and
spent the day delightfully."-. In the
evening, the men went 'possum hunt
ing. They returned later, and con-
cocted the plan to "scare" the wom-
en-. Hawkins quietly crawled under
the house, to make a noise there, and
others of the men created a disturb
ance outside, in the darkness.
One of the women grabbed a shot
gun, and opening the door, was about
to discharge the weapon at random.
when one of the men called to her,
Don't shoot that gum" She recog-
nized his voice, and returned in
doors. She attempted to uncock the
gun, holding the muzzle toward the
floor, when it was discharged. The
lead penetrated the floor, and struck
Hawkins on the head, tearing gap
ing wound which exposed a part of
the brain.
DR.. Clark was summoned early this
morning, and after rendering what
aid he could, he had the injured man
brought to the sanitarium here. the
Holderness automobile ambulance
making the trip. An operation was
performed last night, and later it was
said the patient was resting as we'll
as could be expected.
Hawkins is married and has one
child. He is we'll known and we'll
connected in the vicinity of his hom,
where it is said general sorrow and
regret has been caused by the acct
dent.

HIGHWAYMAN RObS
fOROYCE MARSHAL
and c. B. Agent
Masked Man Gets Pistol
from Officer and $52.55
from Railroad Man.

Fordyce. Dec. IL. r. Woodson,
night operator and station agent at
the depot here, was held up by an I'M
identified white man at the station
about 2 o'clock this morning, and rob-
bed of 1926.
City Marshal Ed Atkins entered the
operators office while the hold-up
was going on, and he also was robbed,
the highwayman taking the marshaPs
pistol.
The highwayman arrived in For
dyce Thursday evening. and register
ed at a local hotel. He asked to be
called at 1890, that he might catch
a train and when informed the hotel
did not call any of it's guests, obtained
an alarm clock, to awaken him.
Shortly after passenger train Nc. 4
departed, the highwayman went to
the operators Office and asked if a
freight train would mass through here
soon, and if it would stop.
He was informed that such was the
case, and moved away. A few mo-
ments later he reappeared, with a
handkerchief over his face. and held
up the operator at the point of pis-
toll. The arrival of the marshal only
added second victim.
Despite the fact that a good de-
scription of the highwayman has been
sent broadcast, he has. succeeded in
evading arrest, and it is believed he
left on a southbound freight train.
Most of the money taken from Wood
son, who has only one arm, was re-

WILL VILLA GET IN TRAP?
Bandit Chief May Drive Between
Pershing's Men and Border.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Although no
official news of the rout of the Car
rama forces at Chihuahua City By the
Villa bandits came to the state of war
departments today. or to Eleseo Ar
redondo, the ambassador designate,
after conferences with Secretary
Lansing and Secretary Baker, ex-
pessed the belief that unofficial re-
ports were true, and attributed the
defeat of the CarranZa forces to lack
of arms and ammunition rather than
to desertion.
From military standpoint, the
possession of Chihuahua City and
Juarez might lead to the possession by
Villa of Monterey, Saltillo, Durango
and practically military control of the
east porto NOT northern Mexico. A
most potential element with which
Villa has to reckon in any such move
is the American expeditionary force,
spread out behind him, and fully
equipped for any emergency.
Officials here have not the slightest
fear for the ability of Major General
Pershing to protect himself against
any force that might be brought
against him. They are more interest
ed in what would be the attitude OF
the United States government SHOULD
Villa get between General Pershing's
force and the border line.
Villas victory coming at a time
when troublesome situation seemed
on the way to settlement, has com
plicated the situation. The opinion
prevails here that there will be- no
change in the policy of the American
government for the present. and that
the government will be guided by de-
velopments as they present them
selves.

Youth Shot, Report Says,
When He Interfered with
the Constable.
TRIED TO ASSIST
UNCLE TO ESCAPE
Constable Leith and Marshal Powers
of RisOn Seeking j. J. Watson,
Alleged to be Deserter from
. Army when Tragedy Occurred.

Andrew Watson, white, about 10
years of age, was shot and almost
instantly killed about 8 o'clock last
night, at Tucker, when, it is alleged,
he attempted to draw a weapon while
interfering with officers who We're
intent upon the arrest of J. ]. Wat
son, white, %. his uncle, and former
resident of Pine Bluff, on a charge
of deserving from the United States
army.
DIR. H. E. Williams, the coroner,
was notified last night of the affair
and will go to Tucker this morning,
with representatives of the sheriff's
department, to conduct an inquest.
According to the information re-
ceived from Tucker last night, Con-
stable James Leith fired two shots at
young watson, one of the bullets
striking Watson just below the heart,
and causing death within few
minutes.
According to the circulars issued
by the army officials, J. J. Watson
enlisted in the army September 4,
1915, giving his home as 901 Linden
street, and his nearest relative as his
mother Mrs. Mollie Watson, same adj
dress. He is alleged to have deserted
at Harlingen, Texas, September 49,,
1915.
The Watsons originally lived in
and near Rison, cleveland county,
and copies of the army circular were
received at Rison by Deputy Sheriff
w. H. Powers, who is also the mar
shall at Rison. Powers spent part
n,
looking for J. j. Watson, and left
for Tucker. There he made enquiries,
after enlisting the aid of Constable
Leith, and learned that j. ]. Watson
was staying at the house where An
drew Watson lived with his mother.
The officers went to the house
about 8 o'clock last night, Powers
going to guard the rear. while Leith
went to the front door. Leith
knocked on the door, and almost i'm
mediately it was opened. AS it
opened the marshal asserts, Andrew
Watson threw his hand in the mar
shals face, at the same time moving
as if to draw a pistol. Leith fired
two shots, only one of which took
effect, and this one causing death.
J. J. Watson was taken in custody
by the officers, and is said to have Of
fered no resistance. No arrests have
been made as result of the killing
of Andrew Watson, action in the case
depending upon the outcome of the
inquest and the investigation to be
made by the coroner and sheriff's
force this morning.
Local officers say the Watson boys
have frequently been in trouble, here
and elsewhere in jefferson and Cleve-
land counties.

RUMANIANS Fight
DESPERATELY TO
Save BUCHAREST
Armies of Central Powers
Continue Progress, Cap
turing Men and Guns.
ASSOCIATED Press Summary


Desperately the Rumanians, prob
ably aided by Russian troops, are de-
Tending the southern and western ap-
proaches to Bucharest, while the leu
tonic advance continues to press more
closely on the Rumanian capital from
the northwest.
Unofficially, it is reported in Lon
don that Russian troops have arrived
in Bucharest to aid the hard-pressed
Rumanian forces.
Progress for the advancing German
and Austrian armies in Wallachia and
south of Bucharest, is reported by
Berlin, which says the Rumanians
continue to offer resistance.
The Teutonic army is on or near
the line of the Arjesh river, as Pc
trograd reports the invaders have oc-
cupied two towns south of Buchar-
est and near that river.
Berlin records that Field Marshal
Won Mackenzen has thrown an army
across the Nislov lowlands, which
would be approaching nearer to Blu
charest.
Advancing southwark from Campu-
lung, the Teutonic invaders have TAX
en- prisoners and cannon, and much
other equipment from the retiring Ru-
|manians. Reports covered in the lat
est official communications from Ber-
lin say that in the fighting the Ru-
manians lost more than $500 pris-
liners and Fl cannon.
The Russians continue aggresslvely
their offensive against the Austro-
Germans from the Carpathians to
southern Pennsylvania. Berlin re-
lates that the Russian attacks, which
are declared to have been made along
a front of 1856 miles from Jablonitza
to edzi-Vaserhely, resulted in only
small advantages, which are declared
not to be commensurate with the cost
in men and ammunition.
Dobrudja Fighting Intense.
Petrograd admits repulse south
west of Zakarka, in the Carpathlans,
but records the capture OF ridges to
the south of Kirlibaba.
The fighting in Dobrudja has be-
come more intense. Bucharest an
nounces violent attacks along the
whole front in that region. Berlin de-
clares attacks against the Bulgarian
left wing failed, and that British
"tanks' ARE being used b ythe at
tackers.
In Galicia, there has also been re-
newed activity. Petrograd records
that an Austrian attempt to take the
offensive north of the Tarnopol-
Zlozzow line was repulsed.
In Macedonia, in France and on the
Austro- Italian front, there has been
no important change. The artillery
activity on the Somme front and IN
the Trentino and Carso regions is re-
ported to be increasing.
Both Berlin and Paris claim the re-
pulse of attacks northeast OF Mon
astir, in Serbia.
