FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
Arthur Murray Files His Answer to the Suit Instituted by L. L. Thompson for the Re
 oovery of $500.

Some time ago MT. L. L. Thomp- son broughtsuit against Mr. Arthur Murray for the recovery of $500, alleged to have been turned over to the defendant for the specific pay ment of a note in bank make by Thompson and endorsed by Murray. The plaintiff fttther claimed that the note had been paid out of his assets when he failed in business here some time ago, but that sad navment was without his knowledge, and until the first of June, 1896, he thought that the note had been taken up by Murray with the sooo placed in his hands for that purpose.
 Tn the answer the defendant states that he paid the amount in full to the defendant some time during the year 1890. As a further plea he offers the statute of limitations.
 On account of Mr. Marrays ap sence none of those connected witt the suit were interviewed concern ling the matter.
 The termination will, doubtless l be watched with interest.

COULD WIN WITH TELLER.
A Prominent Arkansan Views as to Democracy s Probable Suc-
 cess in November.

Col. George W Murphy, one of the foremost criminal lawyers of Arkansas, passed through the city Tuesday enroute to Rison. When seen by the GRAPHIC reporter and told of Col. Smithee's remark that the Democratic party would have q hard time of 1t even fighting on a free silver platform, he agreed with the newspaper man thoroughly. He was asked the usual question: What will they do at Chicago2'
 "Oh, don't know How should 1? think, like Smithee, that we are going to have hard time, but believe that we can win with Teller as the nominee.
 Do you think he will be the nom inee?n
 'I believe he will, though, of course. I can't say"
 Do you favor his nomination2p
 q believe that it would be the best policy, and, therefore, favor 1t.
 Col. Murphy is one of the best eonversationalists to be found any where, and he grew eloquent in his pleading for free silver. Through his unconscious earnestness quite a crowd had gathered around him in the lobby of the Arlington Hotel as he spoke in feeling terms of the present stricken condition of the people.
 "And I tell you, sir" he said, his voIce growing lower as he spoke, q can't by any means see through the shadows. If we win with silver look for more depressing times than we have ever had. The creditors will collect all that it is possible for them to get before they are forced to take it in silver. IE other words, they want the money of double value, made so by the demonetiza- tion of silver. After a year or so of distress matters will adjust them selves and more prosperous times may be hoped for. The Govern ment will never be questioned. There will be no trouble about maintaining a parity. That is, of course, if silver wins. If it's gold-?"
 The southbound train had arrived and still brimming over with enthu- siasm for his cause he boarded his car. Here he was greeted by a number of his friends. On the steps this great genius of the legal profession in Arkansas turned to the reporter. There was a suspicion of tears in his eyes as he said while the train began to move: We can't tell Let us hope for tEe best"

ON ACCOUNT OF A BIKE.
A Young Man Run in for Rid-
 ing on the Sidewalk.

This morning about 8 o'clock As sistant Chief Culpepper, who always casts his anchor to the windward for those who dare to infringe the edicts of our city fathers, espied a young and well-known man, enjoying to the fullest extent a bicycle ride on the prohibited sidewalk. The policeman told the young gentleman, who shall here be nameless, that he had violated the law and that Judge Brown wonld like to see him in a very few minutes. The young man demonstrated and told the police man to go and get the streets fixed So that one could ride with some comfort and then bicyclists would not want to use the sidewalks. 1t was very good advice, but 1t didn't satisfy the court and the wheelman ''anted up.

William Tucker Does the Spring dale Congregation for the
 Amount of $3.

The Springdale Colored Baptist Church. located a few miles from the city, owes a lumber bill. To tell the truth that lumber bill has been running for some time and the members were becoming desperate. So were the creditors. When the members had gathered together they heard loud voice which spake unto them saying: ''Verily l say unto you, get a hump on yourselves or your church will not be in it!8 And they bumped. At a church festival-a festival is is always in order-Brother William Tucker as one of the trustees pleaded eloquent ly with the devout for contributions towards the payment of 8 just debt. He secured $3 and came to town. The glitter and glamour of the city was too much for him and when he left. the cratic church members didn't know which was the larger, Bill Tucker or the lumber bill. Deputy Constable Henry Stewart found out about it and went after the wandering one Squire Vance will try him for embezzlement and when that is finished it is under stood that poor William will be @churched. It serves him right.
