AND STILL ANOTHER ONE.

A 16-year-old girl, by the name of Ida McKinney, of near Kniman, died some days ago following childbirth, and is reported to have stated on her death-bed that a Benton county man of family was responsible for her disgrace, and that her downfall was accomplished in that county. A warrant is said to have been sent to the sheriff of Benton county for the man’s arrest. The remains of the unfortunate girl were taken to Rockfield, Carroll county, where the girl’s mother formerly lived, for burial. Only a few weeks ago a twin sister of the dead girl was married to Albert Armstrong, of Brook, the marriage being hastened by proceedings brought against the young man in Justice’s court here. The family, we understand, came to this county from about Oxford a year or two ago. The girls were 16 years old July 5 last, and the father’s name is Andrew J, McKinney.
