CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Unknown Man Thrown from Car
 and Horribly Mangled.

LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 2.-As the cannon ball train was pulling out from the union depot at 3 o'clock this morning, an unknown man was thrown from the platform of the second sleeper. He fell beneath the wheels and was so horribly mangled that it was impossible to identify him. He was small man, about twenty-five years of age, smooth shaven, dark hair, dressed in blue pants, brown checkered coat, black hat and brown working gloves. Be fore the train arrived he was noticed around the depot by train and sta tion men, and being in a drunken condition, was warned to stay away. As the cannon ball was moving out he boarded the rear platform on the first sleeper when opposite the tool house. He was seen to change over to the second sleeper platform and take a seat on the steps. When the train reached the oil warehouse he attempted to get up and slipping he fell headlong between the ears. His head and arms were fearfully mangled. IL was learned before ha boarded the train that his home was at Malvern The coroner searched his body, but nothing whatever was found on his person. An inquest was held at Tindall's un- dertaking rooms this afternoon and a verdict rendered by the jury in ac cordance with the facts learned. It is learned at the depot that many attempt to board the train every day, and it is hard to keep them clear of tramps.

In the Interest of the Deer.

\ bill recently introduced in the House by Mir. kimball is attracting much attention throughout the State. The bill provides that no deer shall be killed in the State for a period of three years, and also pro- vidcs for the appointment of a fish and game commissioner in each county to enforce the game laws The Saline Courier (Benton5 says of the measure: "The bill to protect fish and game in our State, intro- dueed by Mir. kimbell, is a good one, and should be enforced" The Southern Standard (ArkaGelphia) says: Hon. John D. Kimbell, of Gar land county. has introduced good bill in the House to prohibit the kill- ing of deer for three years, and for the appointment of fish and game commissioner in each county, to en- 1 force the gaI2e law. 1t is to be hoped this bill will become a law, if not, in q few years there will be but a few deer in the forests of Arkan- sas Y
 A prominent gentleman at McGehee Ark, writes as follows to Mr. Kim l bell: Permit me to congratulate you upon the introduction of House bill 1 No. 22S. 1t would be entirely agree able to Southeast Arkansas, l feel sure, if you would amend he bill so as to include no killing of quail or wild turkeys with deer, for three or five years under any circumstances. While 1 was in Memphis 1 remember many hunting clubs from Kentucky, l Tennessee and elsewhere coming 1 through Memphis to Arkansas and Mississippi. some of them by char tered cars. with horses and dogs; and on returning would be well loaded with meat. Stop the work for q few years and let us have game Your game law meets our approval Twenty nine head of deer were killee in Phillips county last Christmas week. ."-Gazette
 The sDortsmen of Jefferson county are speaking in the highest terms O Mr. Kimbell's bill, and every one 0 them are anxious to see it become a law. Game in this section of tht State is being wantOnly destroyed and if it is kept up much longer al the rate killed out this season, sooI our forests and streams will be de pleted entirely. Thousands upol thousands of trapped and netted quail have been placed upon the Pin, Bluff market in the last few weeks These birds were caught in violation of law, yet it is so hard to establish the fact under the present statutes that not a single arrest or prosecu ton has occurred. The netting an( dynamiting of our streams should not be allowed, ana if each count, had game commissioner to ferret out and prosecute violators of tn law, this would soon cease, and fisl
 would multiply in the lakes, bayou and rivers sorapidly that it would be no trouble for any person to catel an abundance of fish with hool ard line. Let the Legislature pass the bill, and give our game bette protection from wanton destruction

DESTROYING FLAMES
Lick Up Two Houses and Render Three
 Families Homeless.

saturday afternoon about o'clock
 the city was thrown into a state O
 excitement by the shriek of the whis
 tie at the waterworks, which denoted that the home or business house o some unfortunate was being de stroyed by devouring flames. Tho sufferers this time were Mir. J. NJ Anderson and Mr Ghas. Cook, whc were the owners of the burning buildings. The tenants of Mir. An derson, were also hervy losers by the cruel flames, which licked 1T nearly all of their earthly possessions and left them in most destitute condition.
 The fire started in the house of Mir J. NJ. Anderson, on East Third ave nue, which was occupied by family by the name of F. E. Graham, who kept boarders.
 Mrs. Graham and several others were at home at the time, but none of them know how the fire originated. The first they knew of it was from the heat and smoke coming from a room upstairs. On rushing up there they found the room ablaze and had barely time 10 make their escape. The family only saved the furniture in q front room on the ground floor. The hoarders lost all of their cloth ing and personal effects.
 The flames soon spread to the handsome new cottage of Mr. Chas. Cook, and it was gutted before the fire department could check them. The tenants in this house were Messrs. ] W. O.Neil, an engineer on the Cotton Belt and Mr.J k. Hanna, q fireman on the same road. They saved most Of their goods, bnt they were more or less damaged hy water and breakage,
 The house of Mr. Anderson was worth about $l200 and was insured in companies represented by the Bell X Vernon agency for $500. Mr. Cook had his house insured in the R. II, NJ. Mills agency fer $S50 The loss on this building will be about 70 per cent.
 The fire department was delayed on reaching the scene of conhagra- ton by the hose carriage getting stuck in the mud on East Second avenue.
 The water pressure was fairly good, considering that over 400 feet of hose had to be used to reach a hYdrant.

The easy, safe and certain protec- tion of our bread, biscuit and cake from all danger of unwholesomeness is in the use of the Royal Baking Powder only. This powder is men toned because of the innumerable reports in it's favor by high medical authorities, by the United States Government and by the ollieialchem- ists and Boards of Health. which leave no doubteas to it's entire free dom from alum, lime and ammonia, it's absolute wholesomeness. While it's use is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders, it is satisfactory at the same time to know that owing to it's greater strength itis more economical. 2
