OFFICERS HELD FOR
 NEGROES MURDER
Deputy Jordan and Joe Johnson of Texarkana Are Indicted-killGd
 Prisoner, Charge.

Texarkana, Feb. 25.-Deputy Sheriff T. W. C"Will") Jordan of Texarkana Tex, was arrested this afternoon on "a Grand Jury indictment charging him with the murder of N. P. Norman, the negro who was reported to have been taken from the officer on the night of Saturday, February Il, and lynched by four masked men. Jor- dan is at liberty under $300O bond.
 It is known that Joe Johnson, an- other Texarkana man, also was in dicted in connection with the murd- CT. He is out of the city, but it is ex- pected he will be arrested tonight.
 The Grand Jury investigation indi- cates that Jordan and Johnson were the only men connected with the Nor man murder.
 Lynching Is Described.
 bringing the negro from Ashdown to Texarkana, 20 miles from here. The officer said that as he neared the Spring Lake park, about a mile from the city, four masked men stopped him and demanded the negro.
 "We want that nigger," one of the men said, according to Jordan. The negro was handcufted, and Jordan said he asked to be allwed to remove them from the negros wrists.
 Hell, no! Drive on!" the men con- handed, Jordan is said to have told officers here. When he reached high place in the road, Jordan said he standing in the road with the negro.
 About 2:30 o'clock the following morning, Norman's body was found in another road, about five miles from the city. There were two bullet holes in the head and one through the body.
 Had Threatened Officer.
 Jordan first attempted to arrest Norman at his home on a misdemean- or charge Thursday before the negro was killed. The negro, however, leveled rifle at the officer, it is said, and ordered him, between oaths, to leave the place. The officer left, and returned later with another officer, but Norman had fled. He was arrest ed the following day by the sheriff of Little River county and placed in the jail at Ashdown until Jordan arrived to return him to this city
 Citizens here at first believed the mob mistook Norman for one of the negroes reported to have killed C.. W. Landers, an aged storekeeper in the Eylua community, two nights pre- viously. This theory later was dis credited. Rumors of Jordan's guilt were prevalent here, and the indict- ment returned by the Grand Jury was not unexpected.

If Malvern really proves to be an oil field the mater will have larger importance than local one for that section in that it will show that Ar kansas is an oil field in no restricted sense, and will further encourage de- velopment in all parts of the state.

The center of interest this week is in the city election. The windup of the campaign is good natured, but spirited. The primary Wednesday will no doubt bring out big vote, and after that we can look forward to the big state and county primary in Aug ust. With the large number of can didates that promises to be in that campaign it is likely to prove one of the most interesting of recent years. No doubt more women will qualify this spring and will be factor in the coming elections.

THE DEAD BEAT.

The dead beat poses as an honest man. and by reason of his pose is en- abled to prey upon his fellows. Wher- ever he can obtain credit, there he buys. He buys freely and fares well: When those who have given him ere dit demand a settlement he answers truthfully that he has no money ana cannot pay. He will make fine prom ises, call heaven to witness that he is an honest man sore beset by cir cumstance, and protest that the debt slipped upon him without his know ledge. And so protesting, he will earn a measure of faith and pity, and escape some portion of the condem- nation he deserves.
 There is no truth in him. He knows the amount of his income; he knows that he is making debts faster than he is making money; he knows that he cannot pay for the goods he is buying; and his clear intent is to de- fraud those who trust him.
 People of large sympathy and small wit will be tempted to find excuses for him. They will say that he is improvident by nature; that one of his reckless and care-free temperament cannot school himself to thrift. Any man possessed of sufficient wit to earn a dollar knows that he cannot pay out more money than he takes in. Saturday Evening Post.
