WHO IS HE?
The Police Arrest Man Who Is Believed
 to Be Criminal.

On last Monday the GRAPHIC pub lished an recount of the arrest of a man who was endeavoring to dis pose of horse under very suspic- iuous circumstances. The man is yet in jail and absolutely refuses to give any account of himself. He has told tales after tales that have proven to be false, yet the officers, so far, have been unable to ascertain who he is or from whom he stole the animal that was in his possession, if he did steal it. The man gives his name as J. W. Thomas. At first he claimed that he was blacksmith, and for years had worked on the Rob Roy place. This was proven to be untrue. He then said that he knew intimately MT. s. M. Adams, of NNabbaseka. MT. Adams came to Pine Bluff today and was taken to the jail 10 see if he could identify Thomas. He could not. Said that he never saw him but one time in his life before, and that was on last Saturday night, when the prisoner stayed all night at his place.
 The prisoner answers to the de- scription of Owens, who is wanted in Arkansas county as an accessory to the killing of Deputy Sheriff Har- ris and c. H. Stifft, near England. Chief Stewar has telegraphed to the Sheriff of Arkansas county to come over and identify the man if possi- ble..
 The following is a description of the horse that is believed to have been stolen by the man TOW in jail, who styles himself J. ". Thomas:
 Dark brown horse, nearly black; IA hands high; narrow blaze in face with white feet up to.pastern joints; a scar across breast which has the appearance of having been done by barbed wire. If anyone has lost a horse of the above description they should at once notify Chief Stewart.

will not affect the opposition candidate, and
