somewhere near Bonham, and had

as they had no money with which
to pay their way. Night had over
taken them in the woods, and they
had lain down under tree and
slept there. They had a small bun
die of clothes and a few hard bis
cults. Their clothing and pinch
ed, starved expression, as well as
their illiteracy, betokened the most

An IMPORTANT DECISION.

THE Arkansas Supreme Court
handed down an important decision
recently. Some time ago Hardy
M. Banks, a farmer of Yell County,
negotiated a loan of $1,000 from the
New England Mortgage and Secur-
ity Company and the Corbin Bank
ING Companyof Boston. The loan
was made throughbroker Ocobock
of Memphis.
The sum Of 5000 was taken out
of the principal for interest, and
Banks was paid only $500. In re-
turn the farmer executed notes and
gave the security company amot-
gage on his farm to secure their pay
ment. The notes came due, but were
not satisfied, and proceedings for a
foreclosure were commenced in the
Yell County Circuit Court. Banks
lost the case, and appealed to the
Sppreme Court.
"A decision was rendered against
theSecurity Company. The Court
held that the interest charged was
usurious, which fact forfeited the
principal and interest. The farmer
is ahead just $500. Considerable
interest is felt in the decision, as
it is the first rendered since the
passage of the act by the last leg
islature fixing the rate of interest
Inota above 10 per cent

rs FEBRUARY 20 II iDA Y?

Exchanged
The question whether thea29th
of February is legally aday or not
has lately been presented to the
courts of Indiana. There is author
ity in that State to the effect that
the 2Sth and 29th Of February are
to be counted asone day; but, when
the supreme court so decided, it
had not examined an ancient Eng
lish statute concerning leap year,
passed in the twenty-third year of
Henry Ill, which bears upon the
subject. Accordingly, in the case
to which we refer, the Judge deter
mined to consider the question de
novo; and he came to the'conclH-
sion that the 29th Of February
must be regarded asa day, in the
contemplation Of the law, at least,
as much as any other, and must be
reckoned in the legal computation
Of time where days are considered.
"Is the man who works on Zebra
ary % and 20 to have pay for one
day only?" he asks. Has a Judge
ment rendered on February 26 no
priority as lien Overcome rendered
on February 80? Coulda man sen
tenced'to be hung on February 28
be legally executed on February
1872" OF course not. The confu-
sion on the subject has evidently
arisen from statutes treating Of the
entire year as a whole. Thus, there
is.a provision in the revised statutes
of New York that whenever the
term "year" or years shall be
used in any law sentence, contract,
or instrument of writing, the yea1
intended shall be taken toconsistof
365 days; a half year, 1872 days; va
quarter Of a year 81 days, and the
added day of a leap year and the
day Immediately preceding, if they
shall occur in. any period so~com-
puted, shall be recloned together
as one day."

SLAIN IN COLD BLOOD.

Huntingdon Special 10 Nashville American
H0ne of the most atrocious kill
ings in the history Of this county oc-
Cured near Clarksburgh, l3 miles
from this place, on last Saturday
about 11oclock. The facts, as your
correspondent is able to gather
them, are rather meagre, but about
as follows; Some two or three
years ago William Widdis, an Irish
farmer, got into a difficulty with
an old man by the name Of Jacky
Grant, and struck him over the
head with a piece of a fence rail,
inficting a severe wound. Widdis
wasprosecuted, and employed Capt.
j. P. Wilson, a lawyer, to defend
him. Captain Wilson succeeded
in clearing his client, but failed to
collect. his fee. The account was
put in the hands Of Constable High
Ross, with the instruction to make
the money out Of Mr.. Widdis' cot
ton crop.
Last tSaturdaymorning the officer
went to Widdis' home and levied
on thercotton, Mr.. Widdis telling
him he might take the cotton, but
he would replevy it when carried
to town.
Just before noon the officer, ae-
companied by his nephew, Jim
Ross, and also Lum Wiles, whose
mother had Ssmall account against
Widdis, and a party to the suit,
went to Widdis' withta wagon to
haul away the cotton. High Ross,
the officer, was in the cotton-house
filling up baskets, Jim Ross'was in
the wagon receiving the cotton, and
I'Wiles was standing near by, when
Widdis, unexpected to,all, appear
ed upon the scene with double
barreled shotgun, and without q
word commenced shooting. The
first shot took effect in High Ross
left side, killing him instantly the
second shot was at Jim Ross, en-
tering his stomach, from which he
died in three or four minutes.
He then turned his attention tC
Wiles, who, getting the house be-
tween Widdis and himself, escaped
IWiddis followed him several hum
dred yards, shooting at him once
but did not hit aim.
Widdis then came to town, tolC
what he had done aand was placed
in jail. To your correspondent h'
refused to make any statements
further than that he was very mucl
under the influence of morphine
of which he is a habitual user, anC
hardly knowns what did occur.
Widdis is about fifty years old
and has a wife and onechild. Higl
Ross was about forty-fve years old
and leaves a large family jim
Ross was about twenty-five year
old, and unmarried.
There is a great deal of bad feel
ing in the community in which th
killing occurred, and somehere fea
that there will be an effort made t
mob Widdis, but such an effo1
would very likely prove efruitles'
as he is well guarded.
