 There have been no new develop ments in the Curry double murder episode at Nettleton. The whole affair will be threshed out before the session of the Craighead county grand jury that will convene ill adjourned term ut Jonesboro Mon- day morning.
 Yesterday Joe Johnson, of Truman. who was arrested and held without bond was released from the county jail in Jonesboro on $1.000 bail. Johnson, it seems, became asso- ciated with the case by some evi- dence that was given to the coroner's jury to the effect that he and As berry Webb answered to the de- scription of the two men who were seen coming out of the woods at WeApS pill ,9R the, SYpdRy f9ll99Yilnig the time the Curry woman and her 13 year old daughter were murdered and decapitated. J0hnson's release apparently has exploded that part of the testimony that associated those two men with the murder. !, Webb, however, is yet being held, having been denied an opportunity to execute a bond.
 James Curry, the husband of Mrs. Alma Currythe murdered woman, is also being held without bond. He was not permitted to introduce the testimony designed to confirm the alibi he set up few days ago. He protests his innocence and appar- ently is certain of his ability to es- tablish his innocence of participa- tion in the double murder.
 Curry's two sisters, Mrs. Steven son of Memphis. and Mrs. Podget of Little Rock. will return to Jonesboro

especially the children. In every case

not a resident, of the district, that
another was gutter, etc., etc., ad.
lib. 1t was charged that Chesrown
who spends some of his time on his
ranch west Of town, had paid his pol!
tax in the other district. 1t was
true, but they didn't add that both
the assessors in that district and in
Linton, also, had charged him up
with poll tax, and that, in paying his
taxes, he had actually paid twice.
However, his family and himself
maintain a home here, his children
are attendants in the schools here,
and the vote shows the great major
ity of the people accepted his as a
fellow-resident. And even the charge
Of "Hogue ticket" horrible as it was
made to sound, didn't seem to stop
the progress Of the stbloodless revo-
luton"
Since the result Of the election has
been made known several Of the more
disgruntled have made the claim that
the ticket elected means no new
school. The Z Record, therefore, has
asked each Of the new men who will
be on the board to state their stand
on the proposed new school question

BAND BOYS HAVE. BIG DAY
A Large Crowd On Hand To Enjoy
Frontier Day Program Staged
BY Local Musical Organiza-
tion. Linton Beats In
dian Team.

The Frontier Day, celebration CIV
en- by the band baSs in Linton last
Thursday brought big crowd to
town, was anaHenjoyable affair, and
netted the band neat little sum for
their efforts.
In the forenoon, the band paradcd
on Broadway, followed by the animals
that were to be used in the exhibi-
.tions. Shortly after dinner the bali
game between Linton and the Can-
non Ball Indians was played. Follow
ing that came broncho busting, relay
races, potato races, etc., with horses.
Jack Crowell, of Steele, former Lin
tonite, was in charge of that depart
ment. Band concerts were played
during the day, and a big dance was
staged in the evening.
The ball game proved to be most
exciting event. For six innings, both
sides bsttled unsuccessfully for a
score. In the last of the seventh,
Linton drew first blood. A base on
balls for Otto Becker, stolen base,
an advance to third on Streeter's out
at first, and an error on Mohn's drive
to second scored Otto Becker. In the
first Of the eight, the Indians prompt
ly tied the score on two errors and a
wild pitch.
It was in the last of the eighth
that the game went on the blink. Lin
ton started to score and when the
third man was out, nine runs had
crossed the plate, Charlie Cell, who
was visiting relatives and old friends,
went in as pinch hitter with first and
second occupied. He hunted, and,
when the smoke cleared away, one
run had been made, and second and
third were occupied. Wood then got
walk, and Megorden hit triple,
scoring three runs. After that it was
a walkaway.
Several records were made in that
game that are hard to beat. Megor-
don allowed one scratch hit. He had
thirteen strikeouts and seven assists.
Not a single ball was driven to the
s5utfield. Fettig, of Strasburg, was
catching, and he did stellar work.
Linton got ten hits, and the Indians
one. Ambrose, the Indian catcher,
was forced to retire from the game
when foul tip hit him on the knee.
Tract, the Indian pitcher, was real
smoke-ball artist and did good work
for six innings. Some of the Linton
batters couldn't even zee the ball !.
There was record d-breaking crowd,
and they seemed well satisfied with
the sport offered. 5t7
One Of the features Of the day was
DR.. Smith in his wild west makeup.
His blouse shirt, rainbow neckerchief,
and general "rotundity" Of figure
greatly entertained the gang as he
led his gang in the parade.

ANOTHER LEAGUE SHEET BUMP

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 18.--On
Aug. 27 the career Of the Polk Coun-
ty Leader, the Nonpartisan league
paper Of Crookston, will come to a
close, when the plant will be sold BY
the sheriff to satisfy mortgage Of
s2,400 held by A. Crawford and A.
Egley. Farmers Of the county are
said to have invested considerable
money in the venture and some prom
inent political lights have also been
touched for considerable amount.

pies Press Publishing Company, as
part Of the purchase price Of the plant

Agents Sell Stock
E After arranging to purchase the
Peoples Press plant, agents were sent
into the field to dispose of stock, but
many farmers had learned from ex-
perience to shy clear Of the league ac-
tivities and considerable difficulty was
experienced in floating the deal, but
was finally contaminated.
The name 5of the paper was changed
to the Polk County Leader and a
headquarters man was sent up to fur
nish copy. !" Seeing nothing but de-
feat ahead Of the league after the
casualties Of the last election, the
would-be friend Of the farmer slipped
away, after delivering broadside on
the league and all its works.
An assessment of the stock follow
ed, but the farmer stockholders re.
fused to pay. Some Of the most in
crested considered it good policy. ia

slide along until the present time.
The holders Of the mortgage refuse
to wait longer for their money, with
the result that foreclosure proceed
