Judge Thompson is a fine man of integrity pluck. He was a member of the legislature of 1870………, although a Republican, he was non-conservative It really amused us to see that an Ark. Editor had dubbed the Judge a "carpet bagger" when in fact in 1843 he was born in Missouri , and came with his father to Ark. in 1849, settling near Mineral Springs, in Hempstead Co. He entered the Confederate Army as a private in 1861, before he was 18 years old, served faithfully during the whole war, and after the war, lived at Magnolia from 1865-1875,when he moved to the Hope, where he now resides. He has invested liberally, now owning much valuable real estate there; perhaps as much as is owned by all the relatives of the "Picayune" in Ga. Thompson a carpet bagger !! The idea will make all who know him laugh, and none ;more so than the citizens of Hope, who know what he has done to improve their town. The charge against Judge Thompson is made because he dares to run against a democratic nominee, and we have referred back to the Ark.

1886 ICE PLANT E.
N. Maxwell and J. A. Polhamius built a small 10 ton ice plant
where Waterworks Pumping Station was later built and in 1887 they
built a 15 ton ice factory on the Texas Side. This plant had
Texarkana's first electric lights. Wed. 17 Nov. 1886 Alderman Fouke returned from Little Rock last night where he had been as defendant in a suit in Federal court charged with cutting government timber. He was defended by Judge Mitchell and after hearing the evidence Judge Caldwell ordered the jury to return a verdict of not guilty without retiring from the box. ....... will add that all who know Mr. Fouke think it will be a cold day in August before he intentionally violates any of the laws of his country. WA 16 Dec 1886 - James Howard, charged with branding his wife - James Howard Hanged by mob. WA Thurs 16 Dec 1886 AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR. James Howard Hanged. Yesterday Justice Cannon on the West side was engaged in the trial of James Howard, charged with branding his wife with hot branding irons. The testimony showed that in July last Howard was married to Miss, Mary Minchew, aged 13, residing in Cass county, Texas. Since November he treated her most inhumanely, hanging her up by the toes, and a few days ago he braned the letter "H" upon her person in two places with a hot iron, whereupon she made complaint. The testimony developed a terrible state of affairs, and fully sustained the charges, when Howard asked this morning to get up his witnesses, which request the court granted, and Howard was committed to jail. Fearing violence upon the part of the people, who felt Justly indignant at such .barbarous treatment of a woman, officers Edwards, Lawler, Williams, Parker and Hargett determined to guard the jail which they did until about midnight and observing no one on the streets, and all quiet, Edwards, Parker, Lawler and Williams went to get a lunch, leaving the other on guard. As soon as they had left unknown parties rushed upon the jail, broke in the door, overpowered the remaining guard, and took Howard out, carried him to the railroad trestle and hung him, and when found by the guard, he was dead. This is an unfortunate affair, as all such transactions are, and we regret its, occurrence, but think that if mob law is ever justifiable, this case was certainly that way. Up to the hour of going to press no clue had been discovered as to the parties who did the hanging. WA 1886 Ben Foreman founded the Texarkana Street Railway Co. WA
