Encroa of Red River.

A petition in the hands of influential citizens is being circulated at Fulton, and receiving large list of names, with view of calling the attention of congress to the immediate need of an appropriation for the protection of this city against the eucroachments of Red river which the overHows every sea son. Since 1890 banks of the river in front of the city have been constantly giving away, until in places buildings and manufactur- ing establishme are threatened with precipitation into the river, and prepa- rations are now being made to move them further inland as source of pro- lection from the overflow that is again predicted the coming spring. The pe- tition will go to Washington city, and Congressman McRae is asked to give the matter his immediate attention, with view to inducing the present congress to give the matter favorable consideration.

Bad for MT. Goode.

An appeal to a higher court in Ar. kansas has turned out very bad for Mir. Goode, who was convicted of horse stealing, says the St. Louis Republic. MT. Geode must have employed law yer with a large head and an analyt- ical mind, for the appeal was taken on the ground that the animal stolen was not horse but mare. The higher court, however, taking advantage of the technicality that "horse" is generic term, which means mare" as well as "horse," affirmed the finding of the lower court. MT. Goode now doubtless says to himself, in his anger and scorn. that if he were to steal mule that highfalutin upper court would call it a horse and send him up. The result of MT Goode's appeal may do much for the security of Arkansas stock, disap- pointed and wronged as he himself may seem.

Incomnefent .Inrnrs.

The supreme court has handed down a decision in a case of great importance to the Missouri Pacific system. Sew eral months ago the authorities of Crawford county filed information against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad Go. and the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad Co.,, alleg- ing that the railroad charged more than the legal passenger rate between Van Buren and Alma. This suit was imme- diately followed by 137 others. The circuit court decided against the rail roads, and the cases were appealed to the supreme court. The fines assessed amounted to $50, 900. Several days ago the attorneys argued and submitted one of the cases in the supreme court Dudley Smith against the Missouri Pacific Railway Co. and Little Rock < Fort Smith Railway Co. Judge Bat tie, In delivering the opinion of the supreme court, said the jurors who tried the case in the lower court had similar suits against the railroad com pany, which rendered them incom- petent as jurors. For this and other reasons the case would be reversed and remanded for a new trial.

THROUGHOUT ARKANSAS.
Decision In a Mortgage Case.

Judge Williams, in the federal court at Little Rock, has rendered his opin- ion in the ease of Ellcnbogen vs. Rob- bins, case that has been occupying the attention of the courts for several years. Ellenbogen finally won. This Is the third case between these parties, involving mortgage. In the first case Robbins claimed that his wife did not execute the mortgage, In the second that the mortgage was usurious, and In this case that the consideration was Illegal, inasmuch as part of it was in liquors. The effect was to show that Ellenbogen, Sr., owned the saloon and sold it without a license. The court held that it was Simon Ellenbogen, the son, who owned the liquors, and. even if Elias Ellenbogen owned them, he had right to sell them in this manner without any license, inasmuch as it was lump sale of saloon. ss Ii it's fixtures, stock and all contents. The second case went to the supreme court, and settled several important points re- lating to mortgages. as to usury, ap- praisement and the right of the mort gagee to purchase at the mortgage sale. It was held that in appraising for the sale under junlor mortgage no deduc- tion is to be made because of the prior mortgage. This renders it practically impossible to pursue the power of sale provisions in junior mortgage.

Street Car Held Up by Masked Men.

The boldest of the series of street car hold-ups that have occurred In Little Rock this winter took place the other night in the suburbs of the city The passengers on the car and Motor man Ellis were speeding along at a lively rate when hailed by two men, The latter boarded the car, and at muzzles of pistols compelled the motorman to walk inside, the car meanwhile being at stand still. Both of the robbers wore masks, and each had in his had re- volver. With loud threats of killing the first man who moved the bandits succeeded in thoroughly terrorizing the passengers, and that accomplished the work of relieving them of their valuables was quickly gone through. One of the masked men covered the crowd with his pistol while his pal rified the pockets of the passengers and transferred the booty to the pocket of the other robber. As the result of the raid the robbers secured three gold and two silver watches, and an aggre- gate of about $50 in currency.
