05/31/17 A Valuable War Relic: May 30,1917-From the Garden of Eden: Editor of Herald-Forrest
City: Dear Sir, the Army pistol I sent you yesterday, I want sent to Brig.Gen.John Dye, I see he has
appointed his staff and is making his arrangements to go to the reunion at Washington City. Thirty
years ago when I came to the Garden of Eden, it was a wilderness and was inhabited by bear, deer,
turkey and all wild animals, and had been uninhabited since 1865. Here is where Col.Dobbin's camped
and fought those, it many hard battles from '61 to '65 and I am satisfied that the pistol was lost
by some brave man of his regiment. As Gen.Dye has some of Dobbins' men on his staff, it is possible
they can recognize it, and in case none of them cannot, he may bind some at the reunion at
Washington City, as Dobbins' regiment generally goes to the reunion. But few got killed and not many
have died. In case it is not recognized, return it to me and I will take it up to the Confederate
home near Little Rock, as several of his command are inmates of the home there. I am anxious that
the owner got it, if it was any of Pat Clabourne's soldiers or Gen.Govan's, I wouldn't be so
particular about returning it, as they were connected with the Army of Tennessee, but Dobbins'
command never left the canebrakes of Eastern Arkansas and they had a hard time fightin the Yankees
by themselves. Respectfully, S.E.Sweet.

room?" Dr.J.O.Rush also testified to the fact that he was among the first to view the body of the

CHARGE: Lucian Mulholland, charged with killing Charles Eagle Monday, July 8.1917, was brought here
from Wynne Tuesday by Sheriff Reg.Martin and Deputy Sheriff Bob Hall, and lodged in the St.Francis
river, near Wise's farm, further inquiry into this case reveals: There were no eye witnesses to the
affair at the start though there was one, Pete Armstrong who came up just before the row was ended.
One version of the affair is that Eagle, for who Mulholland was farming, complained that Mulholland
was not doing sufficient work and a row started. Mulholland, who claims he acted in self defense,
slashed Eagle across both arms above the elbows, and in the abdomen. Eagle lived several hours and
made a statement to the Cross County Sheriff before his death, and said statement will be most
important evidence when the case comes up for trial. Eagle was buried in the Loughridge cemetery,
near Newcastle. He is survived by two children, a daughter, 20, and a son, 17 years of age. The
scene of the killing was the Walter May place, three miles south of Wittsburg, and just east of the

11/04/17 JAMES CARROLL 1877 11 1 1917 HAYNES Doped Drink Caused Death of Carroll James:
Meager particulars of a most disturbing tragedy at Haynes reached the city Wedneday morning. Carroll
James, a man well and favorably known throughout this section, died from the effects of poison which
he took without realizing the danger. It is alleged that he had been drinking and undertook to
"taper-off" on Tichenor's antiseptic. Unable to procure a further supply of that decoction, he is
said to have reported to bay rum, the base of which evidently was wood alcohol, and this poison
caused his death Tuesday, Nov.1,1917. The funeral took place and interment was made near Haynes
Wednesday. The sad occurrence is regretted by his friends. He worked for Mr.J.J.Hughes, Jr., was
about 40 years of age, and a member in good standing with the Woodmen of the World, holding a
