COURT HOUSE IS
MOREATTRACTIVE
Judge Hutson Making Big
Improvements At Court
Square.

Under the direction of Coun-
ty Judge Wash Hutson sub
scantial improvements are be-
ing made in the county proper
ty here. The modern fre-proof
vault in the circuit clerks Of
flee was finished last week and
the records were moved in.
This vault, which was con-
structed by Contractor Pickett
Of Hope, is one of the best
equipped in Southwest Arkan-
sas. A new concrete base has
been placed around the well in
the court house yard and this
adds materially to the appear
ance Of the grounds.
Judge Hutson has announced
his intention of putting the
sewer system into working con-
dition and work on the septic
tank has already begun. A new
WIRE picket fence, replacing
the dilapidated old board fence,
is being put up and this will
make the square look much
beiiel.
For the past several days
workmen have been engaged in
cutting out many of the trees
on court square, and those left
are being nicely trimmed. The
improvement in appearance is
marked and it will also be cool
er at the building during the
hot weather, as the shade has
been sufficiently dense to keep
out the breeze. Another i'm
provement planned is the lev
cling and sodding of the lawn,
Judge Hutson is to be com
mended for making these civic
improvements.

REV. W. Il. STINGLEY
CUTS HAND With AN AXE

Rev. w. II. Stingley was the
victim of a painful accident
alst Saturday afternoon. He
was splitting wood at the time,
holding the block of wood with
his left hand and the axe in his
right hand. The axe glanced
slightly to one side, striking
the left hand at the base of the
index finger and opening an ug-
ly cash diagonally to the base
of the thumb. The forefnger
was completely unjointed by
the stroke.
The wound was given imme-
diate attention by DR.. F. o,
Wood, who made six stitches in
rapidly recovering.

SHALE STRATA
IN TYCAP WELL
Driller Hackthorne Is Pro-
ceeding With Caution
Test Soon.

Work on the Tycap Well No.
1 on the w. P. Mason tract two
miles north of Washington has
been progressing rapidly this
week. In the last issue of the
Telegraph it was stated that
he drill was resting on a rock
and that something interesting
might be expected in a few
days. Early this week the
drill was put thru the rock and
a considerable depth has been
made this week thru a shale
formation which resembles the
formations in the Texas fields.
While drillers in other place
have lost faith, Bill Hack
thorne, a veteran at the game,
has never allowed his optimism
to waver in the least. With the
present rate of drilling it is eX-
pected that the cap rock may
be reached within few days.
At least the driller is now pro-
ceeding with the utmost eau
tion and at any moment expects
to bring to light some of the
precious liquid.
Neither have the people of
Washington lost faith for they
are continuing to invest in acre
age near the well. During the
next few days they will await
the outcome with breathless eX-
pectancy.

BRUTE SWUNG Up
FOR ASSAULT
Mob Acts Quickly When His
Guilt Is Thoroughly
Established.

Browning Tuggle, negro, %
years of age, was lynched by a
mob at Hope last Tuesday
evening at seven-thirty o'clock
for a fiendish attack on a white
woman, aged AZ.
The victim was taken from
the city Jail after the mob had
broken four locks and was
swung from the tower of the
city water tank. The body was
riddled with bullets by mem
bers of the mob about 200 shots
being fired. The body was al
lowed to hang until Wednesday
morning and it is estimated
that two thousand people saw
the body before it was cut
down.
Tuggle put up a brave front
and protested his innocence to
the last but the mob acted upon
evidence about which there
could be no mistake. The ne
gro was identified by his victim,
and by a pair of blood-stained
overalls found hidden under a
dish pan at the home of his
mother.
The assault occurred Tues
day morning. The woman ar
rived in Hope on late train
Monday night and spent the
night at a hotel there. Before
going to the hotel she talked
with Tuggle, who was a jitney
driver, and he offered to take

MISSING NAN
RETURNS HONE
Is Believed Paul Rowe Suf-
fers Lapse of Con-
SciOusness.

Paul Rowe, local young man
who misteriously disappeared
on February 28, two days af-
ter his marriage to Miss Alma
Bowden of Ozan, has returned
home. For several days no
trace of the missing man could
be found but later he came to
the home of his brother in Ell
Dorado, Oklahoma. w. A.
Rowe, father of the missing
man, was notified. Wallace
Rowe, the brother who lives
in Oklahoma, came overland
with his brother Paul in a car,
arriving here last Saturday.
Young Rowe can give no def
mite reason for his disappear
ance but says that he was not
conscious of what he was do
ing. 1t is the general opinion
that he Suffered a lapse of con-
sciousness, and this was the re
suit of shell shock received in
the fierce battles on the Verdun
sector. Mrs. Rowe, VINO stayed
at her fathers home during the
time her husband was gone, re-
turned to him and they are

her to her destination. She was
enroute to visit her daughter,
who lives on the C. E. Boyce
farm on the Hope-COlumbus
road. Early Tuesday morning
she started walking to her
daughters house. About two
miles from the city the negro
accosted her and threatened
her at the point of a knife if
she gave the alarm. He then
dragged her into the woods
and assaulted her.
After the assault the woman
started to run to the home of
J. H. Nix, about a quarter of
a mile away. Officers and doc
tor were summoned.
The negro was brought be-
fore the woman and at first
she could not identify him be-
cause he was dressed different
ly. In the meantime, another
negro was arrested as a sus-
pect but when he was brought
before the woman she was pos
tive that he was not the one
who assaulted her and he was
released. When arrested Tug
gle was wearing a brown sweat
er and dark gray trousers. Late
in the afternoon the home of
Tuggle's mother was searched
and the stained overalls were
found hidden in the kitchen.
The lynching followed.
Soon after the arrest blood
hounds were ordered from Lit
tie Rock but they did not ar
rive until in the night.
Several Washington citizens,
at the call of Sheriff Jim Dot
son, accompanied him to the
scene of the assault and joined
in seeking out the guilty party.
The victims home is said to
be fifty miles north of Little
Rock.
