FARMER IS KILLED In FIGHT WITH BROTHER IN-LAW
Death Results From Blow
On Head With Rock

w. L. Johnson, a farmer re-
siding a few miles west of Oil
Trough, was killed in free
for-all fight late Tuesday even
ing at the home of Ed Laxton.
Johnson was struck in the
head with a rock and his skull
fractured, resulting in his death
early yesterday morning.
Ed Laxton and his three
sons, G. P, w. B., and Bedford
have been arrested on a war
rant charging second degree
murder, for the killing of John
son.
Johnson and Laxton we're
brothers-in-law, Laxton having
married Johnson's sister.
1t seems that Leslie Johnson
a son of the deceased, had had
trouble a few days before with
one of the Laxton boys, and
they came to blows, young
Johnson being bested. The
next day Johnson and his son
Leslie, went to Laxton's house
and called him out. it seems,
with a view of settling the
score. Trouble started imme-
diately, and during the fight
rocks passed back and forth
rather numerously between the
Johnsons and the Laxtons. The
elder Laxton was knocked
down and severely injured, and
Johnson was struck on the head
by a rock which fractured his
skull.
The hostilities finally ceased
and Johnson went home and
went to bed and sent for a doc
tor. He died early Wednesday
morning and LaXton and his
sons were arrested, charged
with murder in the second de-
gree. Bond was fixed at $4,000
each which they gave, and
their preliminary trials have
been set for Friday before
Squire Joe l.. Outlaw at Oil
Trough.
Laxton is about so years old

HAS SEEN FORTY YEARS ACTIVE
SERVICE in METHODIST MINISTRY
Rev. Horn Who has Served
Church in Arkansas 20
Years Will Retire

Rev. E. A. Horn of this
place who is now serving the
Kenyon circuit in the M. E..

Twenty years ago he was
transferred to Arkansas and
since coming to this state he
has served nine charges. He
has built and finished ten

two parsonages.
More than Two thousand peo-
pie have been converted under
his work since he came to Ark
ansas, more than 1900 of
whom have united with the
church.
He has married more than
200 couples and has preached
about 400 funerals.
He states that he has receiv-
ed an average Of about $500 a
year for his work. This is very
small pay, but Rev. Horn has
put his whole heart into the
work and has done this splen-
did work because of his great
love for humanity, prompted
by the Christian zeal that has
been predominant character
istic of his life.
Rev. Horn is nearing his six
ty-fourth year, and says that
when the annual conference
convenes at Helena in next
month he will ask to be reliev-
ed from further active service.
He will not retire firm minis
terial work entirely but will
continue to do local work when
the opportunity presents itself.
The Journal is pleased to
know that he and his estimable
family will continue to make
their home in Newark.

Knew He Had Gone for Good.

Mrs. Hannah Thompson, whose husband until recently had been employed as Pullman porter, interrupted the proceedings in the Harlem court in hurried effort to obtain a divorce, says New York news letter. She was quieted down until a case then being heard was disposed of. and then questioned by a magistrate. When she had ex- plained that her husband had left the previous morning it was suggested by the court that there was no reason to believe that he would not return, and that Mrs. Thompson had better wait before considering any such move as divorce action. But I knows that man ain't never comin' back" explained the excited negress. I was in bed this mornin' when I beard him gettin' out very quiet and creepy. He put on his best clothes-new suit, straw hat, patent leather shoes and a light coat over his armand I lay very still maxim out I ain't awake yet. He walks right to the door, makes a big low bow towards me and says: Good bye, cold feet, good bye Judge that nigger ain't goin' to come back"

Campaign Against tn. Fire Demon.

The Southern Pacific is launch ing a vigorous campaign of fire protection up and down the length of it's big system. Forty five thousand employees are be- ing asked to spread the gospel among shippers, warehouSemen and others with whom they come in contact.
 The campaign at this time is the rerult of resolution adopted by the Railway Fire Protective association at it's recent St. Louis convention.
 Vice President and General Manager w. R. Scott, in charg- ing Southern Pacific men to re- double their vigilance and adopt even more effective measures to safeguard supplies, says:
 I0develops that the respons- ibity> of feeding not only our selves, but our allies, rests large ly upon this nation. As all the materials, supplies and foodstuffs necessary for our domestic use, the use of our armies and our navy must be necessarily trans ported over our railway systems, the necessity for fire protection becomes a patriotic duty. Any amount of insurance under pre- sent world conditions is incap- able of replacing food and ma- terialS that are destroyed.

U. S. WILL FIGURE FOR YOU.

You won't have to figure but your own income tax all by your self hereafter. The government is going to send out men to help you. It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sent into every county seat town. and some other towns besides, to meet the people. Postmast- CTS, bankers and newspapers will be able to tell you when the governments income tax man will be around, and where to find him. He will answer your questions, swear you to the re- turn, take your money. and re- move the wrinkles from your brow. Returns of income for 1917 must be made between Jan- uary l and March 1, 1918.
 "The government recognizes, :" Collector of Internal Revenue Lewis T. Carpenter said today,
 that many persons experience good deal of difficulty in filling out income tax forms It recOg- nizes too, that taxpayers resi- dent at points where collectors offices are not easily accessible find it hard to get proper in struction in the law. Next year, when every married person liv- ing with wife or husband and having net income of $2,OOO, and every unmarried person not, the head of family and having net income of $1,OOO for the
 l. ~f income on the form prescribed, there will be hundreds in every community seeking light on the law, and help in executing their returns. My own and every other collection district in the nation will be divided into dis tricts, with the county as the unit, and government officer informed in the income tax as signed to each district. He will spend hardly less than week in each county, and in some counties longer time, very like ly in the court house at the county seat town. In cities where there are collectors branch off ces he will be there, and in other cities possibly at the city hall. My office will in due time advise postmaSterS and bankers and send out notices to the news papers stating when the officer will be in each county. It will be unnecessary for prospective taxpayers to ask my office for forms on which to make returns. The officer who visits their coun- ty will have them.
 It may be stated as a matter of general information that net income is the remainder after Su btracting expenses from gross income. Personal, family, or living expense is not expense in the meaning of the law, the eX- emption being allowed to cover such expenses.
 "The new exemptions of $1, ,OOO and $2,O0O will add tens of thou sands to the mum Der of income taxpayers in this district, inas- much as practically every farm CT, merchant, tradeSman, pro- fessional man and salary worker and a great many wage workers will be required to make return and pay tax.
 "The law makes it the duty of the taxpayer to seek out the col lector. Many people assume that if an income tax form is not sent, or government officer does not call, they are relieved from making report. This is decidedly in error. It is the other way round The taxpayer has to go to the government and if he doesn't within the time prescribed, he is a violator of the law, and the government will go to him with it's penalties.
