FORT LYNN FLASHES.

Here / am again at dear old Fort
Lynu-perhaps the last time for
many months or maybe years, aud
while renewing old associations the
desire came upon me to greet my
old friends, the readers of the dear
old TExARKANIAN, as of yore.
/ arrived here last Friday, taking
the little city by surprise, never
theless many hands were extended
giving me a hearty aud warm
welcome.
found the place looking as of
old, although some changes have
taken place since my last visit,
some having moved away and 9th
ers come to take their places,
among the latter is my old friend,
Henry S. Smith, of independence,
who has entered the employ of a
lumber company at this place.
While here by special invitation,
| made my headquarters at Hotel
Lynn where I was agreeably enter
tanned during my stay. Many
thanks to the proprietors Mr.. Wes-
ley Gentry, and his neice Mrs.
Mary Ramsey, who, | am pleased
to note, are doing a fine business
and indeed, they deserve it as they
keep the cleanest and neatest
house and the best table of any in
Arkansas.
Thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Barker, Mr.. and Mrs W. NJ. Owen,
Mr.. and Mrs. Clint Allen for courte-
sizes extended.
DR.. Lennard's smiling counte-
nance is still to be seen on the
streets. He thinks it is getting
disgustingly healthy here. Oh,
doctor, don't get discouraged, it
will soon be time for Yellow Jack
to take a hand.
Last Monday l went to Black
Diamond to see my friends Mr. and
Mrs. P. A. Brown and family, who
gave me such a warm welcome
that | could not get away tor two
days They made up a fishing par
ty on Tuesday and we all went to
Cypress Lake, where we had lots
of sport. The catch of the party
being q fishes, some of them a foot
long. The honor of hooking 20 of
the beauties belongs to the hostess,
Mrs. Brown. May the lady be as
ever successful in all her under
takings,

Last Tuesday while Bud McDon-

of logs at the mill, the log caught
his canthook which struck him and

RECEIVERSHIP FOR MAIL
JUDGE MINISTER, OF SUPERIOR
COURT, ASKED TO CREATE ONE.
Scheme of an Agricultural Paper
COxey Army Damage Suit
Is Ended.

Yesterday Judge McMaster, of the Su-
perior Court, heard evidence in the suit OF
the Epitomist Publishing Company, of this
city, against Sheldon II. Pile and Postmas-
ter Hess. Pile was formerly employed by the
Epitomist company. While he worked there
an arrangement was made with him by
which his name was to be used by the COM
pany in doing some advertising. With a view
to increasing the circulation of its agricul-
tural journal the company published an ad-
vertisement offering to send a package of
seeds to any person who would send in list
of five names, accompanied by 20 cents All
letters were to be addressed to IS. ii. Pile.
After this arrangement had prevailed for
some time Pile and the Epitomist company
had disagreement. 1t resulted in Pile sew
ering his connection with the company He
then went to Postmaster Hess and left in
structons that no mail addressed to him
should be delivered to the Epitomist COM
pany. Letters were constantly arriving at
the postoffice in response to the advertise
ment and the Epitomist company began pro-
ceedings to enjoin the postmaster and Shell
don IL. Pile from holding up these letters
The suit was brought in Room !, Superior
Court. In its complaint the company asked
that a receiver be appointed to take charge
of all mail addressed to s H. Pile, and
to open the mail and properly deliver all
communications that belonged to the plant
if. There several points to be conSld-
cred in the case and the court said 1t would
give decision to-day. The judge tntimated
yesterday that he would have no right TO
appoint a receiver to open mail that bore the
United States stamp.

NO DAMAGES FOR JENNINGS.
His Case Against Ex-MayOr Denny
Thrown Out of Court.

His Case Against Ex-NIayOr Denny
Thrown Out of Court.
Judge Leathers of the Superior Court, has
ruled against Allen Jennings, who brought
a damage suit against Caleb S. Denny and
the city of Indianapolis, The action grew
out of the Coxey army movement in the
spring of 1894. A branch of the army came
this way and Allen jennings a local sup
porter of the movement, tried to lead the
troops into town. Mr.. Denny was mayor
of the city and he issued an order to the
chief of police to prevent the army from
coming down town. AS a result of the order
the suit for damages was brought. The suit
was tried and the plaintiff was given a
judgment for $500.
A new trial was granted, but the case did
not come up. A few weeks before Judge
Court. he struck the case from the docket on
the representation that the plaintiff had not
been sufficiently diligent in trying to bring
the case to trial again. Jennings came into
court and through his attorneys sought to
have the case reinstated. Judge Leathers
heard argument several weeks ago and until
yesterday had the matter under adVisement
He holds that the plaintiff is not entitled to
reinstatement. The late SilaS M. Shepard
brought the original suit for Jennings. After
Mr.. Shepard's death other attorneys took
charge of his law business. Jennings
claimed that he never received the notice
sent him requesting that he indicate what
he desired done IN the case.

WATT FAILED TO APPEAR
PARK INVESTIGATORS UNABLE TO
GET SERVICE ON HIM.
Charles Cooper Repeats "a Part of His
Former Testimony-COmmit-
tees Secret Session.

The Councils committee on investigation
and impeachment met last night to continue
the examination of witnesses supposed to
know something of the park scandal w.
H. Watt. Isaac Pugh ana II. Waddle were
expected to be present. but it was an
nounced that the committee had been I'M
able to get service on them.
Charles Cooper attended the meeting and
the committee went over part of his pre-
vious testimony. If Watt had been pres
ent it was said, he ana Cooper would have
been examined along the same lines and the
results compared. The members of the
committee seemed exasperated that they
were unable to get service on the three
men. Mr. Allen said Watt should have
been questioned as to whether or not he
was a common liar. Outsiders were ''eX-
cused" from the committee room after
Cooper had left and the committee held a
secret meeting. The members asserted that
they would make persistent attempts to
bring the witnesses they wanted before
them. and it is expected that the time of
the next meeting will not be made public.

DIVORCE FROM DAVID c. BRYAN.
The Wife Released from q. Man Who
Has Figured UnnIenaamtIX.

Late yesterday evening Judge Allen, OF
the Circuit Court, granted Eva Bryan a d.
vorce from David c. Bryan. The latter,
although in the city. was not pres
ent to defend the suit. Mrs Bryan
was represented by her brother, Attorney
Adams, of Shelbyville. The divorce was
procured on the allegation of the plaintiff
that her husband had utterly failed to pro-
vide for her and her children Mrs Bryan
told Judge Allen that she was married to
Bryan about fifteen years ago. She was
then a widow with two children. Both are
now almost grown The daughter is about
eighteen years of age. Mrs. Bryan said
that when she was married to the defendant
she had about $4,000, the most of which has
disappeared. She asserted that Bryan had
disposed Of something like $4,000 of her for
tune. She asserted that while Bryan lived
with her he induced her to mortgage her
real estate in this city. He failed to lift the
mortgages and the property is now gone.
The plaintiff complained that for a long
time prior to their separation Bryan failed
boarders in order to earn a living, and al
though Bryan was at home a good deal of
the time, he paid her nothing toward keep
ing UP the table.
Bryan is well known in Indianapolis. For
several months he has not lived here regu-
larly. Some time ago he figured in a SEN
satonal affair at St. Louis furnishing the
papers of that city with some stories.
Bryan, it was claimed, YVES about to win
wealthy woman, although he had a wife
here. He has been before the public UNI

resenting that he had been a resident of
Marion county for the period required by
law in divorce cases.
Ready explained to Judge feathers that
in giving testimony in the case he was not
a party to any fraud. He said that he
knew that Justus had lived here in 1885,
and when they met a few days prior TO the
divorce trial he was given to understand
by Justus that he was still a resident of the
city. Ready says that Justus told him his
wife had gone to Chicago to live and that
she knew about the divorce proceedings
Justus further stated, according to Ready's
story to Judge feathers, that he and his
wife quarreled over the question of Chris
tian science. Mrs. Justus, the husband
claimed, believed in the doctrine, and when
their child fell i'll the mother refused to have
a doctor and the child died.
