They were neighbors, living in
the same community, three
three miles from Norfork.

shot with 4 .44-caliber pistol,
the ball entering the abdomen
and lodging in the back. His
death ensued before an intend

up to the sheriff.

plant of the Arkansas Light
and Power Company, and DR.
E. L. Watson of this city, had
a narrow escape from death OF
serious injury, when the latter's

of the city, when the steering
gear became defective, and as
they were crossing the Island

ageable and skidded from one
of the approaches, dropping a
distance of 10 feet and turned
upside down, pinning both pas
sengers beneath the body of
the car, but both escaped with
slight bruises.
