Batesville, Oct. 1.-At a writ of habeas corpus proceed ings held before County Judge T. A.

 Upon receipt of this tele- gram a deputy sheriff rear rested Carpenter and returned him to jail, pending further action.

WHIPPED SISTER
 KILLED BY FATHER
Craighead County Young Man Intoxicated, Seizes Pistol
 Shot by Father

Jonesboro, Oct. 5.-John D. Adams, aged 52, prominent farmer of near Monette, killed his son, John D. Jr., last night at their home. The young man, aged 25, was whipping his sister when the father in- terferred. Young Adams seiz- ed a revolver, according to re- port, and shot twice at his father, one bullet tearing off the brim of the latter's hat. The elder Adams grabbed up his shotgun and fired, the shot effect around the sons heart. Death was instantane- ous.
 Young Adams was intoxi- cated on white mule" having just come from a neighbor- hood where it is suspected a still is located. The slayer went to Monette immediately after the shooting and was kept under guard until his pre- liminary hearing, which will be held some time this after noon. The shootings appear to have been done in self-de- fense and acquittal is probable.

Calico Rock, Oct. Mrs. Mary Sullins, a widow of 45, of Wild Cherry, left here to- day for Hobart, Okla, where she is to be married to James Taylor, widower. The pros- pective union between the two was the result of the groom placing an advertisement in the local paper at this place, stating that he wanted to marry an Arkansas woman. He received a number of in- quiries and he carried on cor respondence with Mrs. Sullins for some time, until they de- cided to marry, whereupon he sent her the money to come to Oklahoma.

TAX ASSESSMENTS
 LOSE S45,OOO,OOO
Big Slump in Tax Assessments in Arkansas For This
 Year

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-Ark-- ansas this year faces a S45,- 000,000 decrease in assess ments, according to figures compiled in the office of the Arkansas Tax Commission. The greater part of the de- crease is in assessment of per sonal property which has slumped heavily since the period of war inflated prices. Officials of the commission say that it is doubtful that there has ever been before so great a decrease in a single year.
 Of the 48 counties which have filed reports a gross az gregate decrease of S23, ,000,- 900 is shown. These AS coun- ties last year showed total assessment of $302,000,0 ,000. This year their total is $269,- 000,000. The remaining 27 counties represent more than half the assessed value of the state, as the total state assess ment last year was $612,000,- GOO. Tax officials said that the estimated S45, 5,000,000 shortage is very conservative, and if the decrease recorded in the 4S counties continues for the remaining ones, it is likely that the decrease may exceed $50,000 ,00O.

MILLION DOLLARS
 IN COTTON BURNED
Twelve Thousand Bales Lost When Cotton Compress at
 Morriiton Burns

Morrilton, Oct. 3.-Damage to the amount of approximate ly S1 100000 resulted from fire which early last night de- atroyed a part of the Morrilton Cotton Compress Company's plant. Approximately 12,000 bales of cotton were burned, entailing a loss of about $1,- 500,000, practically covered by insurance.
 The fire started when one of the three sections of the plant was struck by lightning about 6:15 o'clock, and was not placed under control un- til two of the sections had been burned. The third sec- tion, in which were located the compress plant and one warehouse, was saved by CO., foot brick wall. Comparative ly little damage was done to the machinery and compress plant, the biggest loss being when the smoke-stack fell.
 Two men were injured when the stack fell, one of them seriously, Paul Harris, aged 28, and George Scranton, aged 30, members of the volunteer fire-fighting forces were caught beneath the debris of the falling stack. Harris was severely injured about the head but will cover.
 It was the most spectaculal blaze ever seen in Morriltor and a heavy downpour of rail was of no assistance in fight ing it. The fire was seen fol miles around, and despite thu rain thousands from Morriltor and surrounding country were attracted to the scene. &
 The plant is owned by the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Com pany.
