Magnolia, Ark, Nov. 11.-Jordan
jameson, Negro, so years old, who
last Friday shot and killed Sheriff
B. E. Greer of this county was
lynched here early today, being
burned on the public square.

Waldo, which surrounded a house in
which he had taken refuge. He fought
against capture for an hour but
finally surrendered when the posse
threatened to burn the house. The
posse took the Negro to Magnolia to
turn him over to the acting sheriff

'rUKe" CARTER SCORES AGAIN.

Cornelius Carter, whose work as a
patrolman in the Flora venue district
has gained for him the distinction of
being one of the bestt Negro police
men in he country, has scored again
by bringing about solution of num-
ber of mysterious Chinese robberies.
Tug struck hot trail and pursued
1t with Sergeant Thomas McNally,
and the twain later called in Sergeant
Boyle and Officer Allen and Detec,
tives Downey and Mcbride for assist
ance in running the quarry to earth.
One of the negroes arrested made a
statement admitting attacks on Char
lie Ho and Ting Fong Young and part
of the money and bonds stolen from
them were recovered. One bond was
found in the shoes of a negress. The
holdups were brutal in the extreme
and in one instance the Chinaman
thus attacked and robbed went to join
his forefathers.
Garter did some mighty fine work
in this case and is deserving of the
highest commentator" declared
Chief of Detectivts Phelan, acting
chief of police. "He has evidenced
shrudness and ability of high order
and has also demonstrated that he is
not lacking in GOODNESS and personal
courage"
Tug" has figured prominently in
number of the big cases handled by
the department in recent months, both
IN his own district, and in other Ne
gro sections of the city. His com
manding officer, Captain Casey, and
others high in the department have re-
peatedly highly complimented his po-
lice work, and business men of his
race recently took cognizance of it by
presenting him with a handsome gold
medal for conspicuous bravery in the
line of duty.
Hurt While Pursuing a Thief.
Later in the same day-Sunday-
Tug was injured while pursuing a
thief who had escaped from the coun-
ty Jail, falling heavily to the sidewalk
when he iripped over an obstruction.
The injuries and bruises he received
were quite painful but were not of a
serious nature.

If husband is faithless,
should a wife be untrue? If a
man does wrong, should the
woman who loves him, sin?
Will two wrongs make a right?
Should a wronged and deserted
wife seek in a carnival of world
ly pleasures, forgetfulness of
her husbands betrayal of his
marriage vow? Would the
shame that is hers, because Of
her husbands infatuation for a
woman who came into his life
after his marriage, be lessened
or decreased by her wanderings
in the crooked path? Is she
justified in seeking revenge
when tortured by the pain Of
humiliation? These are the vi
tai questions that are presented
in Ivan Abramson's latest pow
erful screen offering-"WHEN
MEN BETRAY," at Loves The
atre. Sunday and Monday.

Edith Emily HamilI, Aged Five, Is
Fatally Hurt When She Steps in
Front of Charles Wrinkle
mans Car.
DIES TWO HOURS LATER
She Was Taken to ST. Joseph's Hos
pital Where 1t Was Found That
Her Skull was Frac-
tured.

Edith Emily Hamill, the five year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
! Chambers. SIS Palean street, died at
(! st. Joseph's hospital last night at
eight o'clock as a result of injuries
which she received two hours earlier
/ when she was hit by an automobile
driven by Charles Winkleman OF way
! land, Mo.
The accident occurred on Fifth
street between Palean and Carroll
streets on the left side of the street
car track as the automobile was
going south at six O'Clock. Witnesses
obtained by the police say that the
accident was unavoidable as Mr.. Win
kleman was driving slowly when 1t
happened, He was headed for MIS-.
souri,, and was driving on the LETT hand
side OF the car tracks on account of
the right side being cluttered up with
sewer pipes and torn up by bitches
which were being dug there at the
present time. The little girl ran out
from the alley and in front of the car.
The childs mother did not see the
accident but she thinks il very prob
able that the little girl did run in front
of the car as she was starting across
the street because she was on her way
home to meet her father.
AS soon as Mr.. Winkleman picked
the girl up he drove to the police sta
ton and reported the affair, leaving
his name and license number of his
car in case the police should want to
call him later.
The injured child was carried into
neighbours house until a doctor could
be called and she could be taken to
the hospital. She was knocked I'M
conscious by the blow and never re-
gained her senses. Her wounds were
cared for Immediately after she was
taken to the hospital, but there was
no hope for her recovery. She died at
eight o'clock from fractured skull.
Edith Emily Hamill was born in this
city five years ago last March and has
always lived here at SIS Palean street
She was bright, happy little child
and beloved of all her netghbors and
little playmates. The little girl was in
the first room of the Wells school, and
attended Sunday school at Rock Hall
Center. She is survived by her mother
and step-father and one brother,
Luther Hamill.
