IN FARCICAL GAME
O'Leary Let Montpelier
Down With 5 Hits at
Montpelier

The Spaulding high school baseball
team went to Montpelier Thursday ai'-
ernoon, enjoying pretty good batting
practice in what was originally 20 nave
been baseball game against Montpei-
Ter high school team. Score keeping oc-
Cured although it was not essential 70
the afternoons pastime but as the re-
suit thereof the tabulation shows tnal
Spaulding had crossed the plate ~
times while Montpelier through cou,
ple Of errors and az many hits crossed
the home plate twice.
In spite of the final results there
were many amusing incidents N the
afternoon recreation, one of the prlnci-
nal Of which was when first baseman
Dillon pitched the last inning OF the
seven played and struck out three men
in the Spaulding line.
Ellenwood did about all he could 70
Spooner's delivery, getting single,
double and triple while the fourth time
Halliean's error allowed him to get on
first Miro and Mcleod also drew dou-
bles while Pena obtained triple.
Catcher Beers and third sacker Bar
new pulled of nice double play in the
fifth inning when Pena was struck out
and then OIeary thrown out at thru.
There we're only few bright spots IN
Montpelier's style of pl~ wing, either
from the fielding or batting point OF
view unless it was that Dillon endeay-
ored to get out the way when fast ones
came in his direction at first base.
Spaulding scored in all but the
fourth and seventh inning and In the
sixth every batter faced Spooner once
and some of them faced him twice, a
total of 10 scores being made in that
inning, off eight singles and six errors.
Tho score.

WINNIE ANNOUNCES
 FOR REPRESENTATIVE

J. c. Wynne of Big Bottom township announces in today g paper as a candidate for Rep resentative from Independence county.
 Mir. Wynne's aspirations to represent the people of this section in the house of the next General Assembly were not brought about by purely per sonal reasons, but largely through the influence of his many friends, who believe that he is a man in whom the peo- pie of the county can put their trust, a man who will put the interests of the taxpayers above everything else and do all in his power to bring about better conditions in all matters affecting the people at large.
 Mr. Wynne is well and fav- orably known over the county and is we'll qualified to hold this important position, and is a conscientious christian gen. tleman. He has served as prin- eipal of the Newark High School and is held in high es- reem by the patrons of this district. Mir. Wynne has been T lifelong democrat and says he expects to make the race on his merits and asks the con- sideration of every voter in the county.

RESIDENCE DESTROYED
Liberty Bonds and War Stamps
 Go up in Smoke

Tonk Galloway's residence at the Black river bridge was totally destroyed by fire Sun- day night.
 The fire was not discovered until the building was almost ready to collapse and it was impossible to save anything of any value from the burning building.
 In addition to his household goods, Mr. Galloway lost $500 worth of Liberty Bonds and about $500 worth of War Say ings Stamps, which were de stroyed in the fire.
 His loss on the house and contents is about $3,000, with only $1, 300 insurance.
 It is not known how the fire originated, as they were all asleep and knew nothing of the fire until awakened by tn , roar of the flames.

BERRY SHIPMENTS AT
 BALD KNOB 22O CARS
Prices Lower Than 1921 But Above Figures Previous to
 Those of 1916

Bald Knob, June 1.-The strawberry season at Bald Knob has ended, so far as car load shipments are concerned, and while shipments were not as heavy as expected, Bald Knob shipped a larger number oi ears than in 1921.
 The Bald Knob Fruit Crow CTS Association, J. A. Adkins, president, shipped 133 cars. The Bald Knob Fruit Exchange ] w. Coombe, president, ship ped 87 cars, a total of 220 cars from the Bald Knob treritory.
 Returns from shipments are not complete and the average price received per case is not known, but shippers here con- sider that, as was the case in l 19N., better prices were re- ce1Ved here than at any other shipping point in this district. Price is governed by the quail ty of the berries and the ability of the salesman.
 While, owing to bad weather conditions which caused the fruit not to be in first-class con- dition for long-distance ship ments, the average price will be considered under that re- ceived in 1921, it will be far above prices received previous to 1916, when wartime prices began to take effect in the berry market.

WOPSLOOKINC GOOD
 OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Indications Point to a Bumoer Cotton Crop in Section
 Around Newark

A trip through the country around Newark reveals the fact that the farmers have theit. crops in better shape, perhaps. than they have ever been in at this season of the year.
 Crops are clean and in good condition and it appears that the stands, as rule, are bet ter than the average.
 Some corn has been laid by" others are giving their early corn the finishing touch this week, and within the next week or ten days practically all the early corn will have been laid-by.
 There has been a marked de crease in the corn acreage, es- pecially in Big Bottom and Oil Trough. The same is true of alfalfa, the alfalfa acreage having been reduced more in proportion than any other crop grown by the farmers of this section.
 The Journal fears that this heavy reduction of feed crops is a bad omen. There is also a distressing absence of wheat i'll the territory surrounding Newark.
 While no effort has been made by The Journal to get exact data on the acreage, it is apparent that the cotton acreage has been more than doubled, in this section, and if weather conditions should be favorably and we have no boil weevil, 1t is predicted that in the territory surrounding New ark the cotton production will be three time greater than the production last year
 In view of these conditions, it seems very fortunate that a new gin is going up in New ark, and will be, ready for op-

had as much to do with it as l have been accused of. For many years there have been a few Tigers running in those mountains, and 1 have heard of men selling whiskey, saying this is Uncle Sam's best, when at the time 1 was not even making Whiskey and not having anything to do wigfi it.
 A few weeks ago John Alexander, deputy United States marshal, came to my house when l was away, and when he inquired for me and was told by Mrs. Seph Wallace that she did not know where l was, he abused her and also made threats against me, and a few days ago Alexander re- turned to my house and talked to Mrs. Wallace, and she told him her husband was down in the field at work and he went down where Seph was at work.
 Mrs. Wallace woke me up and told me that Alexander was there and 1 told her to go to the field and tell him that was at the house and to come back to the house, which she did.
 Tn a few minutes Alexan- der came to the house and when he came up he drew his gun and held it in shooting po- sition.
 Il said 'Howdy, Big John -and l told him to lower his gun and come in and have seat and let's talk this matter over, and Alexander said Put up your hands, and I told him to put up his gun and come in and treat me like 1 was some body, and Alexander said Put up your hands, and I told him l would not do it, and he com menced shooting at me.
 He fired two shots at me and l stepped around the corn CT of the house in the hallway and Alexander ran around the house and l thought 1 had bet ter step in the house, and by this time Alexander was in about four or five feet of me, and he fired two or three more shots at me, and l put my gun out to shoot and about this time he shot me through the leg, and then 1 shot at him, but l shot too high to get him, and just after l shot Alexander shot again and ran off.
 Had 1 wanted to kill Alex ander l could have done so easy enough when he was com- ing to the house from the field. lie had to come through an open field for over hundred yards before he got back to the house, and I had my 3O-30 Remington rifle and could have killed him before he reached the house.
 "In fact, there would have been no trouble had Alexander come to me in the right way. l have been arrested several times in my life but this is the first time 1 have ever had any trouble with an officer. And when my brother, Cal Brans- cum, came to me in the noun tains and told me that revenue officers were after me 1 sent them word by my brother that l would meet them at Calico Rock June 5 and I am here.
 My house, together with al the contents, was burned dowr but 1 don't know the cause o1 the fire. l was about COG yards from the house when il burned. 1 heard some 40 oi 50 shots and I saw the smoke and saw the house burn"

AGED bIOONSHINER SAYS HE
 COULD HAVE KILLED MARSHAL
Sam Branscumb, Noted Stone County Character, Tells Story of Life Says He Has Been Misrepresented
 By Stories About His Moonshinng Activities

Sam Branseum. a picturesqu :. mountain character from Stone county, who is 50 years old ana is said to be the oldest moon sinner in Arkansas, surrender cd to H. K. Sutterfield, U. 5. Reevnue Agent Monday at Calico Rock and was brought to Batesville oil the evening train Monday to be held for the action of the Federal Grand Jury which convenes at Batesville next Tuesday.
 A Journal representative was at the depot in BatesVille when officer Sutterfield came in with his so-called bad man, and was somehat surprised to see such a mild hammered, peaceable looking, gray head ed old gentleman with flowing beard, and rather small of stature, alight from the train and walk away with no more concern than if he were going on a visit.
 The aged moonshiner has been held up before the world as a dangerous and blood thirsty character, but first inn pressions of this picturesque mountaineer are rater te re- verse and leads one to wonder if the old man has been some what misrepresented.
 When the old man went to Calico Rock and surrendered Monday, he made a statement that has a token of sincerity, and The Journal is publishing his statement merely that our readers may see the old mans side of the matter. His state ment Allows:
 BRANSCUM'S STATEMENT
 T am 50 years old; have never been married, and live about seven miles southwest of Calico Rock in Stone coun- ty, where 1 have lived all my life.
 About a year ago 1 got in- to trouble with the state courts and the town courts of Calico Rock on charges of moonshin- ing and selling whiskey, and 1 promised to never engage i'll r it again, and 1 brought in my distilling outfit and sur rendered it to the officers, and the good people believing in my sincerity petitioned the courts to be linient with me and 1 have never violated my agree. ment.
 "I have been informed that a certain party appeared before revenue officers and made a sworn statment that they had bought whiskey from me near Calico Rock only a short time ago, but this statement is false and 1 will be able to prove that it is false.
 Some time ago 1 made a statement to some parties that learned to make whiskey about 40 years ago and the newspapers got hold of it and quoted me saying that l had been making moonshine whis- key for 40 years, which is false 2 The truth of the businesss is, I did own moonshine still about 40 years ago and l made a little whiskey and then l dis posed of my outfit and com menced rafting cedars on the river, and 1 followed that fol about 15 years, lost my health land quit.
 Then 1 bought a 6O-acrt ranch in the mountains of Stone county and have been raising stock since. And as to tht whiskey business I have never
