INSURANCE MAN
IS KILLED.
c. A. Chambers Is Shot BY herschel
Evatt In Quarrel Over
Insurance Matters.

A most shocking tragedy stirred
Harrison on Monday afternoon last
when Herschel Evatt shot and killed
c. A. Chambers, adjuster for the In
surance Agency of Scruggs & Co., OF
Dallas. Texas. three miles west Of
town, while in an automobile en- route
to Capps where Chambers was to ad-
Just the loss of the recently burned
school house
Evatt lost barn and large amount
of feed by fire last fall and there was
considerable delay in the settlement,
due to disagreements between he and
Chambers, who had the adjustment
in hand Some hard feeling between
the two developed, but the adjustment
was made, Eyatt received his full
amount, and the matter was supposed
to have been closed.
Chambers arrived here on Mondays
train and for some unexplainable rea.
son, insisted on hiring Evatt to drive
him out to Capps in Evatt's car to
adjust the fire loss on the school
house. Oscar Hudgins went out as
notary public at Chambers instance,
ard George Crump, Jr., was invited
to accompany them. According to
their statement Chambers was drink
ing and grew quarrelsome in a discus
sion of his former transactions with
Evatt, taking pistol from his valise
and tapping the back of Evatt's head
with it. Finally Evatt, who was driv.
ing, turned around in his seat and
fired three shots all of which took
effect in deceased's head and any one
of which would have been fatal.
Crump came at once to town for the
undertaken and sheriff; Evatt sur.
rendered to the officer on his arrival
and the body was taken in charge by
the Cline Undertaking Co., who pre-.
pared it in accordance with telegraph
ic instructions and shipped it on Tues.
day afternoons train to Little Rock.
Chambers was &c years old, and is
survived by his wife, his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. T. F. Chambers, son, Ger
aid Chambers, two daughters, Misses
Vera and Eloise Chambers; two broth
ers, C. N. Chambers, an attorney at
Oklahoma City, Okla, and L. Cham
bers, adjuster for the Scruggs Com
pany with headquarters at Dallas, and
one sister.
In an examining trial held before
Justice Homer Freezing Wednesday,
Evatt waived examination and was
held to await the action of the next
grand jury on bond of $4,000

SUNDAY is MOTHERS DAY.

Tomorrow the Mothers Of Harrison
are especially invited to attend the
services at the various churches. The
establishment of this day is a fitting
tribute to mankind's first and best
friend, and we sincerely hope our
mothers will find 1t in their hearts 10
attend and enjoy the honor il seeks
to bestow.
Mothers have not only made nations
but they have also inspired the great
religious movements of the ages. The
cOnsecrated mothers of Israel gave
birth and inspiration to the highest
religious ideals and set the world TO
singing the praises of Jehovah.
Every student of history knows that
a nation is secure or insecure in the
mothers of the nation. 1t is said that
the mothers of Sparta inspired and
gave birth to Spartan courage and en-
durance. The student of history
knows that the mothers of Rome made
Rome great and when the mothers of
Rome became worldly and profligate,
Rome went down. Babylon was
great empire, her material glory was
unsurpassed, yet there was no mother
in this vast empire with character
enough to give birth to a son who
could grasp her glorious opportuni-
ties, interpret her civilization and give
her history to future generations.
Babylon, the great, went into ruin and
forgetfulness because she had no true
mothers to give birth to a son or
daughter who could make her name
and civilization immortal.
