AL though Mr Woodbridge came to this city for the practice of is profes- sion but few years ago from Ash ley county, he is, nevertheless: now one of the most prominent members of the Pine Bluff bar and is well known throughout this judicial dis trict. When he first came to this city he formed a copartnership with Gen H. King White, under the firm name of White X Woodbridge, but upon the death of the late Col. NJ. L. Bell, of the firm of Bell X Bridges, Mir Woodbridge retired and sue eeeded the late Col. Bell, the style of the firm being Bridges < Wooid- ridge Mr. Woodbridge is recognized by all who have any business before the courts as a lawyer of pronounced abilities, with calm and discrimi- hating judgment and mind well stored with a knowledge of the law, which he holds in perfect readiness for any emergency or occasion. Since his residence in Pine Bluff he has won a place at the bar and com manded a practice and clientile that might well be envied by many older practitioners. He las also Nen the respect and esteem of his fellow lawyers, feeling which is shared in common hY his friends and acqaaint- ances. His ability and fitness for the office to which he aspires will be It once recognized by those who enjoy his acquaintance, and his candidacy will no doubt receive a large following throughout the dis trict. If Judge Elliott is to be re tired, we do not know of q man in the district more capable of filling his place.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Good Work of Wants Pri-
 Vate Detective.
HOW THE PLOT WAS REVEALED

The Detective Labored Mule
 Driver, Attended Every Meeting and
 Took an Active Part-Another Cat
 ling Gun Taken to Eagle and More
 Trouble Anticipated.
 CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 9.-The details of the plan for the killing ot Wyaut and murdering the military who should come into Montgomery to make arrests was not discovered solely through confession of an arrested stricker The plot was brought te light by Pinkerton detective who was employed by Wyant He was osten- sibly mule driver md was very reti- cent and always appeared to be un- friendly to his employer. He at once joined in the proposed strike, attended all the meetings of the strikers, learned all their plans and when the attack was made on Wyant's tipple he was with the attacking party, apparently doing his best to drive out the opera tor and his men, but really, as he ex- pressed 1t. tmurdering air
 When Wyant was arrested by Kin ney, special constable sworn in by Squire Adkins of Montgomery to serve the warrent on Wyant, the detective was present and promptly arrested Kinney The detective swears that the plot was for Kinney to shoot Wyant through his pocket if he refused to go to Montgomery to be tried. If he con scented to be tried there it was then that the plot to dynamite Wyant and his guards was to be put into exeeu- tion. The. detective gave all the infor- nation that led to the arrest of the strikers. Jackson is the rieter arrested with dynamite on his person, and he fully zorro oborates the detectives story. He is now at Fayetteville testifying in the preliminary trial of the rioters.
 Seven more rioters were taken to Fayetteville. The authorities do not regard the trouble as over. as another Gatling gun haa been taken to Eagle

 It is absolutely impossible to have good roads in Arkansas until the Sellers amendment is adopted, or in the event of it's defeat, until we have a new constitution One Of the greatest needs of the State at the present tme is good roads, and if the Sellers amendment shall be adopted, as we hope il will, Arkan sas will take a long step forward in the procession of progress.

Counsel For the skeIton Boys Seeking
 Postponement of Their Trial.
 CHATTANOOGA, March 9.-In the city court at Scots boro, Ala, the four skel- ton boys who shot and killed R. c. Ross at Stevenson Feb. 1 were arraigned for trial upon an indictment for murder i'll the first degree. A motion was at once filed by the defense to quash the in dietment on the ground that the jury which found the true bill of murder had been illegally convened In Ala bama the laws relating to jnrors ana juries are so complicated and intricate, it is often an easy matter to find a flaw in the.yenire. This the defense is try ing tSsao with all it's might. Every little technicality is attacked in the hope deferring the trial until the next term of the circuit court, which does not convene for six months, the Skel- tons knowing full well if the trial could be postponed so long as that pub lie feeling against them would have so far cooled as to make their acquittal considerably more of a possibility than 1t is at present.
 Arguments of tho motion to quarsh the indictment were to have been heard, but Colonel Joe Gift, leading attorney for the prosecution, was called away by the death of his vener- able father. and the hearing was, there fore, postponed until Monday next Annie Skelton has been taken from the Cincinnati hospital where she was found a few days after the killing. She Is prostrated with grief and but sem- blance of her former self.
