JUDGE WILSON
CALLS MEETING
Citizens of County Asked TO
Meet Here Sept. 4th and
Consider Highwdy Biz.

In a letter received at the
Telegraph office Tuesday,
Jno. L. Wilson, county judge,
issues call for a mass meet
ing of the citizens of Hemp
stead county "to consider the
proposed Highway bill" Coun-
ty Judge Wilson opposed this
bill when it was submitted to
the Joint legislative and county
judges meeting at Little Rock
recently, for their endorsement
and he is still opposed to the
measure.
Under the provisions OF the
bill, most of the automobile II
cense fund would be diverted
from the county in which col
lected to the State Highway
Department. Governor McRae
favors the measure, contending
that it would restore Federal
aid and relieve the road i'm
provement districts of the state
of much of the burden imposed
by the building of improved
highways" Governor McRae
has isseud a call for special
session of the Legislature the
latter part of September to
consider the Highway bill.
AS there is unusual interest
in the outcome Of this measure
throughout the state, a large
number of citizens of the coun
ty will likely be here next Tues
day at the mass meeting called
by County Judge Wilson, whC
writes:
] 81 have been requested t,

1t is said that after Purkins
shot the girl down he approach
ed the PROSTATE form and ask
ed ha- if she believed he did it
on purpose; she made no re-
sponse. Hatton left her in
the keeping of Purkins and
Womble and went for help.
When he returned he detect
ed a difference in her attitude
toward him, he stated.
The Rogers gil is a grand
daughter of Mr.. Oscar S. Cox
of Route l, Washington. She
attended the barbecue at Lib
erty Thursday and was a guest
in the home of her assailant's
father.
Sheriff Dodson was called at
a o'clock this (Frdiay) morn
ing and left for the scene i'm
mediately, coming by way of
Washintton where deputy Jim
Beardeh ioinei him. They ar
rived at the scene of the shoot
ing at 6 o'clock, making as
thorough investigation as pos
sible. They found Purkins at
the home of his father, hiding
behind the smoke house, and
placed him under arrest. He

had made a search for it.
Purkins claims the shooting
was purely accidental, stating
that he fired into the timber
without seeing the parties il
the road.
Purkins is an oil field work

task, however, requires more
time because of the close proX-
unity to bottom.
AS a precautionary measure,
Manager Frank Myers, who is
at the location constantly, will
cause 8-inch casing to be set
at this well around 1900 feet.
The ha,~d lime rock now in
at this test is believed to be
the same strata as was drilled
through at the King we'll. 1t
has been penetrated Is feet
and if it proves to be as thick as
at the King well--115 feot--it
will mean a week or ten days
hard drilling.
The Nichols No. / has al
ready shown both gas and oil
and after the 1900 foot depth
is passed it will be watched
closely. The location is de
clared ideal and it now has a
strong lead in the race fo, the
honor of being the discovery
we'll of Hampstead county.
With Mr.. 'ihurman's return
from Columbus, Ohio, today,
anG a canvas made of the stu
alton, it is thought a definite
plan of action regarding de-
velopment of the company's
oldings will be announced.
Contractor Comatte who has
the drilling contracts for
the Nichols No. l and the test
well near McNab, reports the
latter well down 1900 feet.
Eight inch casing will be set
in the McNab well at the pres
ent depth.

A fishing job at the Nichols

the Hampstead Oil Co. in I'LL

this test for the week. Early
Thursday morning, with the
drill working in hard lime rock

stem was twisted apart about
80 feet from bottom. Drillcr
Dick Richardson, in charge, is
not greatly worried over the
incident, however, and is con-
fident the hole will be cleaned
and drilling resumed this
morning. He is proving a care

A tragic sequel to the Gay $
festivities at Liberty Thurs
day was enacted one half mile
south of Cross Roads, near the
home of Jake Brewer, colored'
about 8 o'clock Thursday
night. Miss Mary Rogers, 10
year-old daughter of Lige Rog-

is believed to be mortaliy
wounded, by j. D. Purkins, ~
year-olG son of A. j. Purkins'
who lives about a quarter oil
a mile from Cross Roads.
AS stated by eye witnesses
and some of the principles, the
shooting came about in this
way. At the barbecue Thurs
day, Purkins made an engage
ment with Miss Rogers to ac-
company her to a dance at u
vacant house about one mile
from his (Purkins) home, where
Miss Rogers was visiting. La
ter Miss Rogers broke the en-
cagement with Purkins and ar
ranged another with Garfield
IIatton.
Hatton and the girl were on
their way to the dance; Pur-
kins and John Womble had pre-
ceeded them and stopped at the
Brewer plum ucchard. When
the couple drew near the or
chard, Purkins asked them II
they were going to the dance.
No Reply was made. Purltins
repeated the question, empha-
sizing it with an oath anG
shouting you will talk" a
pistol was fired and the girl
fell. The bullet entered the alb
domen about two inches above
the groin in the left side. Dr.
