 The posse had passed Hoop Spur, when a minor trouble with the motor of the Lilly car caused a stop. While several of the white men were busy with the car, Dr. Johnston grabbed MT. Lilly's automatic from his right hand trousers pocket and fired it three times, the shots passing through MT Lilly's lungs. When other members of the posse heard the shots and saw Dr. Lilly fall forward in the car, they emptied their guns at the negroes. killing all four.
 The bodies of the negroes were thrown on the side of the road, and the party hurried on in an effort to get MT. Lilly to Helena hospital ln time to save his life, but he died en route to the city. MT. Lilly was prominent in the politics of Eastern Arkansas. He was one of the citizens who greeted Governor Brough and Colonel Jenks Thursday morning when the troop train from Camp Pike pulled into Elaine.

Alexander Talks at
 Boys Bean Supper

s. c. Alexander, president of the Merchants and Planters bank was the speaker at the weekly boys bean supper at the Y. M. c. A. last night. His talk was finely shaped to an inspiration to the boys of the age who attend the suppers. He gave a few outstanding features in his own life in an effort to impress the significance of the points which he urged He told also of the good eff feet his mother had on him in his more impressionable years, and of his constant and never-t beforgot- ton memories of her love and affec- tion.
 Mr. Alexander urged the boys to give careful consideration to the fol- lowing points, declaring them to be requisites for success: Politeness, neatness, honesty, thrift, and love for mother. The toastmaster of the evening was David Blair, who, though without a mother, told of his love for her. The supper was served bu the Ladies' Auxiliary, and prov ed to be a tempting repast.
 Plans are being made by the as- sociation to add music and pictures to the regular entertainment of the bean supper.

Elaine, Oct 3.-On the winding road which runs northeast from the little town of Elaine to Helena, through cotton fields and canebrakes, just north of the sidetrack on the Mem phis, Helena and Louisiana railroad. known as Hoop Spur, Thursday night, were lying the bodies of Dr. D. A. E. Johnston, prominent negro dentist of Helena, and his three brothers, Ar kansas sponsors for the Progressive Negro Union of America, "The great torch of liberty that leads to negro correspondent of the Arkansas Demo- crat.
 Further down the road stood a de- serted Ford automobile with shat tered windshield, the body riddled with rifle bullets and buckshot. Still further on stands a box-like negro church and lodge room.
 In front of the big building at PA Walnut street, Helena, which repre- sented part of the wealth accumu lated by Dr. Johnston through his leadership of his race in Phillips county, was piled load of ammuni tion cases and rifle boxes. These ap- parently unrelated facts constitute the high points on which hang He lena's negro uprising, which but for the prompt action of Governor Brough in calling for federal troops to be sent to Phillips county, and the even prompter action of hundreds of brave white men of this community in rallying to the defense of Elaine citizens Wednesday night, would have undoubtedly developed into the worst racial trouble of the present nationwide unrest.
 Law-Abiding Safe.
 The Phillips county trouble, 1t should be said, is not a race riot in the strict sense of the word. It is rather a negro uprising nipped in the bud by prompt and vigorous action. which does credit to Phillips county, both for it's efficiency and it's notable self-restraint.
 In spite of some very aggravating circumstances, absolutely no violence has been done to laW-abiding negroes or to negroes who showed a willing ness to surrender their arms without bloodshed. Dr. Johnston, who with his three brothers lies on the side of the Helena-Elaine road, with two bullet holes through his forehead as an ob- ject lesson to the negroes who pass, met swift justice for his murder of Alderman Orlie R. Lilly. Dr. John ston, as shown by the confessions of negro deserters, by literature found on his person and by the arsenal later discovered in his office building in Helena Thursday, was one of the real directors of the uprising, and very dangerous agitator.
 Killing of Lilly.
 He had been arrested near Elaine shortly before noon by the posse of which MT. Lilly, prominent real estate man and alderman of Helena,

DRAGL|NE WILL
Be USED AGAIN
SOUTH OF TOWN

The dragline excavator, which was
laid up some time ago when sur
facing operations were concentrated
beyond Nenana Crossing, is to be
put into commission again immedi-
ately, taking the place of the Buoy
rus steam shovel, which broke down
this morning under the heavy strain
of bucking frost conditions.
The plan is to start the dragline
to work on a gravel bar near the
Burns coal mine, where there ap-
pears to be an abundance of dry
material for surfacing, in which the
big machine can work under almost
any weather conditions. The carry
ing out of this plan will necessitate
the removal of the surfacing camp
from the Crossing to a new camp
site near the gravel pit, and the
surfacing work henceforth will be
directed from that point, both to-
ward town and toward the end of
steel. Camp will be moved tomor-
row.
Weather conditions along the line,
both north and south of Nenana, are
somewhat more severe than in town,
reports from the Mills camp, south
Of the Burns mine, and from Camp
440, on the north side of the river,
stating that To- below weather has
been recorded at each of those
places.
The cold weather may interfere
to some extent with the grading
operations beyond the end of steel,
but with the dragline operating in
dry gravel it will be possible 10
supply the contractors with suff-
cient material to enable them to
complete their work. This can be
done without interfering with the
surfacing work.

Last Saturday the champion team Mesquite, Neveda challenged the Lit tlefield Base Ball team. As Little field was not in practice and had only seven men on their side there seemed to be little hope for them, but as the end of the game grew near the score was Il to 19 in favor of Littlefield. A dance was given the ball players that evening.
 MT. Joseph H. Reber returned last week from Kingman, where he has been on business. He reports that it looks favorable of Littlefield staying in Arizona instead of annexing with Utah. Although we have nothing against the State of Utah we would much rather remain in old Arizona. We are all hoping that no change will be made, but if there should be, most of the people now in Littlefield will sell their possessions and move into the interior of Arizona so that they will be in the same state, if not in the same home,
