CHAMPION POOL PLAYER.
]. L. Malone Gives an Exhibition OF
HIS Skill at Hotel
Trulock.

Mr.. ]. L. Malone, who claims to
be the champion pool player of the
world, gave an exhibition of his
skill with the cue at the Trulock
billiard hall last evening in the pres
ence of large audience.
The champion played a game OF
100 balls against Messrs. Joe Tommy
and John Ports, who are considered
the best players in the city.
The game resulted in a defeat fol-
Malone by few balls. It is but
justice to him, however, to say that
he was badly handicapped from the
fact that the game was played with
com position balls while he is accus-
toned to playing with ivory balls,
After the conclusion of the game,
Mr.. Malone gave his audience an ex-
hibition of some very difficult fancy
shots.
Tonight at 8 o'clock the champion
will play three of the best players in
the city, after which he will give
another exhibition.
He was in bad form last night,
but those who think that he cannot
play pool will loose money if they
bet against him.

CHAMPION DEFEATED.
THREE POOL PLAYERS OF PINE BLUFF
DEFEAT CHAMPION MALONE.
The Game Was an Exciting One and
Was Witnessed by a Large
Audience.

Malone, the champion fifteen ball
pool player of the world, met with a
defeat in this city last night. On
the night before at an exhibition
given by him of his skill with the cue
and worries, he challenged any three
players of the city to play him a
game of 100 balls for $40 a side The
offer was quickly taken and last
evening at the Hotel Trulock billiard
hall the match was played and it re
suited in the champions defeat by
score of 80 to 100.
Malones opponents were Robin
son, Ports and Tonne. ALI three
of these gentlemen are expert pool
players and would have to travel
some distance to find their superiors,
so our readers can we'll understand
the hard task that the champion
took upon himself.
At the conclusion of the game Mr..
Malone gave an exhibition of fancy
pool and billiard shots, and the ease
and accuracy with which he exc
cuted them was indeed marvellous.

COMING FOR HIM.
Sheriff R. C. Rurkes, of Phillips
County, After Leake,

Last night Chief Stewart received
a telegram from Sheriff Burkes, of
Phillips county, announcing that an
officer would arrive here today after
Leake, the negro recently arrested
in this city by the police on suspic-
ion of being the murderer of John
Dundee.
Dundee was killed near Helena
on the 3lst of December, 1895. A
few days ago a picture of Leake was
sent to Helena, and as the officer is
now coming for him, this would indi-
cate that he is the party believed to
be guilty of the murder.

The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be
derived from good medicine, is
early in the year. This is the season
when the tired body, weakened
organs and nervous system yearn
for a building-up medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait
for the open spring weather and, In
fact. delay giving attention to their
physical condition so long that a
long seige of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities,
and to purify the blood, there is
nothing equal to Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. dl wi
