Newark starts about 1901 and the Batesville Guards are fragmented unit the nineteen teens. I don't know if you have tried the Arkansas Gazette but that would probably be your best bet. Since it is a shooting they more than likely picked it up. You can order a copy from the Arkansas History Commission since you know the date.
