Immediately after receiving notice OF
Burts capture, Sheriff White went to Chi
cago after him, getting back on August 20.
On the return trip. as well as after landing
in Jail here Burt refused to talk about
mis- victims except TO say that he would
produce them at the proper time. The
jajl doors had hardly closed behind him
before he asked for copies OF the papers
containing an account Of his crime, and
when they were furnished him he read
them calmly and with as much nonehalance
as II he had been psruslng report OF

Up to the time OF his trial. which began
on November 10, Burt maintained an un-
disturbed front. and exhibited fondness
for newspaper mention By the interview
route.
His defense was undertaken by Major
Walton. Hon. E. T. Moore and George l..
walton. They sought a change OF venue.
which was refused. They then raised the
question of sanity but when Judge Brooks
ordered him tried for insanity they aban-
doned that stand. When his trial came on

THE LEVEE MEETING.
Temporary Organization.-Offi- cers Elected.-Work Begun in Earnest. Most InI- portant Move to
 Brinkley for
 Years.

Pursuant to call, a meeting
 was held at the ARGUS office last
 Saturday afternoon for the pur- pose of taking the military steps
 looking towards the building of a
 levee to redeem from overflow
 the many hundreds of thousands
 of acres of land west and north.
 west of Brinkley in Bayou De View and Cache river bottoms. A temporary organization was effected, the purpose of which will be to ascertain the amount it will cost to make preliminary survey and estimate, of the pro- posed work and also to notify everyone who would be affected by the levee to be present at the next meeting and take part in the permanent organization; to set a time and place for the next meet ing, etc. Those elected for this purpose are as follows:
 Wm. Hooker, chairman; R. c. Lynch Sec'y; Executive Commit tee: A. F. Maberry, D. c. York and T. l.. Hefferman.
 All of the above gentlemen are large property owners in the dis. tfict that will affected by the for nation of a district and building of an efficient levee. They are enter prising men and it is safe to pre- dict that they will push the mat ter as it should be.
 Without a doubt it is one of the most important moves that has been made in this section Tn many a day and there is no way of as certalning the amount of benefit that will accrue to the city of Brinkley if the object is consul mated.
 Thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of property was represented at the Saturday meet ing. Among those present and represented were D. c. York, T. l.. Hefferman, Wm. Hooker, D. J. Banner, the Black estate, w. K. Sims, Henry Wolf & Co.,, John Gazzola, Cris Nelson, etc.

Oil Mill Improvements.

The Brinkley Oil Mill has just about finished upa line of inn provment which has made the mill one of the finest, if not the very finest, in the South.
 They have put in a larger and fine new 220 horse power Heine Safety boiler, new foundation for same, new floor in press room, re- modled the lintroom and put in two new linters etc. Perhaps one of the most important of the i'm prOvments is the new Machine Shops they are putting in for thelr own use. They will have one of the largest laths in Arkansas They are painting the mill inside and out-an immense job.
 The improvements have been made under the supervision of the popular Manager, A. J, Gashen and the efficient Chief Engineer, Bart Hailman, both o1 whom have been at their post and work every day during the ho' Summer with a full force of work men.
 Judging from appearances fully $9 ,000 have been expended during the Summer by the Oil Mill fol improvements. Brinkley is proud of this institution.
