 Plant at Present,

John J.

 MT. O'Neal also states that the com pany intend to rebuild all the trans mission lines over the city, as we'll as run a righ transmission line from De- Queen and connect with the steam rower plant there. Just when this will be done has not been yet decided.
 The ice machines are being repaired and within few days they expect to be again making ice.

AFTER THE INCONSISTENCIES
Scores of Revenue Officers to Invade
 Mountain Districts.

Fort Smith, April 29.-To commence a determined crusade against moon- sinners who are said to abound in the mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma by the hundreds, the Internal Revenue Department of the government will establish headquarters for field forces in Fort Smith and Oklahoma City at an early date. The Oklahoma City of- flee will be in charge of w. l.. Yar- brough, now stationed at Little Rock, and the Fort Smith office will probably be in charge of T. 8. Tisdale of Hot Springs. Between 30 and 50 moon- shine hunters will have their head quarters in this city.
 According to government officials, there are between 700 and 800 moon- shine stills in operation in Arkansas and fully 1000 in Oklahoma. The high price of whiskey, due to the scarcity of the product, is proving a mint for moonshining operators, fed eral officials say.

MANS BODY FOUND
 CHOPPED TO BITS
Head and Both Legs Severed With Axe-Murder Mystery Near
 BrOOkins.

Paragould, April 29.-Dr. I. H. Cun- ming of Knobel was in Paragould this morning and told of a blood-curdling murder near Brookins, a, small settle ment on Black river. The tragedy was discovered Sunday when the leg of man drifted against house boat an- chored in the river just below the vil- lage. A searching party was organiz- ed to Grag the stream and soon the horribly mutilated body was discover ed with the exception of the top os the head The party found evidences of slaughter around the roots of q large tlak tree, half mile south of BroGkins. The base of the tree was sn.earni witt blood and freshly pack ell gashes jn the roots of the tree indicated that the slayer who yielded the death axe had deliberately cut the body into pieces as it lay at the foot of the tree. The gashes in the roots ware filled with blood stains, in-
 licating that such force was used that the blade was driven through the body and into the wood beneath. No trace ,of footprints could be found and no clothing discovered.
 The theory advanced by people of Brookins is tn atthe victim was strip ped of his clothing to prevent the pos sibj!ity Of Identification, then placed under tho tree and multilated. The head, which was severed from the body, was cut in three ways, with the top missing. Another cut was dir ectly between the eyes and through the nose, while third ranged across the left eye and through the left ear Both hands and both legs were sever- ed.
 Although officers are searching for trace of the murderer, so far their efforts have been in vain. Rains have fallen since the murder was commit ted and there ara 60 traces. The body had been under water most of the time since the crime was commit ted, and although in a fair state of preservation, the head was so brutely chopped that Identification was impos- ible. .

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
 LAes IN THIS COUNTY
Only 35 Per Cent of Quota Has Been Raised With End of Campaign Now
 in Sight Says Chairman.
A TELEGRAM.
''st. Louis, Mo, May l, 1919. ssMr. Q. T. Grayess

"St. Louis, Mo, May ], 1913.
 "Mr. 0. T. Gravess
 Judging from reports reaching us your county will not subscribe it's quota Victory notes. To save honor and good name of county, leading citi- zens must rally to the situation, stir your friends and neighbors and co. operate with sales committee in order to put county over the top. After the boys have finished their job 50 well, surely our civilian army will net fail. Wire if VIC nay depend upon you.
 sLiberty Loan Headquarters"
 According to all reports received by Chairman E. c. Payne, the Victory Loan drive in Little River county is tagging badly. With only 35 per cent of our quota subscribed and the cam paign to end next week the matter has taken on a most serious aspect.
 According to last reports the east end of the county banking at Ashdown had taken $50,000. Compared with what was done by this section of the county during the fourth loan we are far behind and sagging badly. The west end banking at Foreman has re- ported only from $12.000 to $15,00o. That section rolled up more than $10O,OO last loan. The workers every where are urged to make strenuous effort to overcome this general apathy and yet redeem the county while there is yet time. Little River county peo- pie simply cannot afford to go on per- r1anent record as having sulked at the last moment and refused to help finish the job.
 If your son and your neighbor's son had lain down on his part of the job 'hefore 1t was done, the Kaiser might have been conducting this drive and lou would have paid. not loaned at a hood rate of interest. It's simply up to us. Nobody will or can do our part
