Fugitive Captured.

Abe Nelson, a short legged coon,
who has been working at a white
barber shop on the Texas side, and
who came here from Mississippi
sometime ago a fugitive from jus
tice, was muchly surprised yester-
day when city Marshal Dean walked
into the barber shop accompanied
by deputy sheriff from Astebula
county, Mississippi, who had a war
rant and also requisition papers
signed by Governor Dan Jones, for
his arrest and extradition. Mar
shal Dean told Nelson he was not in
Arkansas and the papers could not
be served on him in Texas, but as
he was fugitive he would arrest
him and the deputy could get pa
pers from Governor Cu(berson and
take him back. The negro thought
awhile and said he would return
without awaiting other papers and
he crossed oyer into this state and
was taken back. He was wanted
for carrying a pistol which is a
penitentiary offense in Mississippi
The negro depty said he had wife
back where he left and he is living
with a woman here to whom it is
said he is married. They can give
him quite a game when they gel
back with him.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The Texas railroad commission IS
still occupying the same old stand
grinding out tariff sheets daily,
whether it pleases those bonded
galoots up north or not, or
the Judge who issued a restraining
order to keep the commission from
making rates for the roads. The
railroad managers went into court
and showed that the commissioners
had put them on starvation rates,
that they could not pay interest on
the bonds, here showing their prop
erty to be enor nous and the in
terest heavy. Ga this showing the
Judge issued his order.
This did not phase the railroad
commission, for they have a good
job of $1,000 a year each, and they
are turning over chips and chunks
to see it the representations of the
roads we're true, and they found by
examining the tax books in the
various counties of the state, that a
railroad was not of very much value
and ou1this showing they propose
to make up their case against the
courts decision.
We are going to have a railroad
commission in Arkansas and those
railroad men who kick can remem-
Der that there is a penitentiary,
and that our laws are enforced a
little different from the way they
are in. other sta tes.

During the coming week there
will be several changes made in bus
mess locations by our merchants.
The cause of these changes, in
some instances, is cheaper rents
than they are now paying, gong
out of business or moving into
houses built by the merchants who
have heretofore rented. In this
case we cite the Turner Bros, who
have vacated four store rooms on
Broad street to move into their
own new quarters, and the Edwards
Harness company moving into the
Lawson building. 1t will take full
month to complete all the changes
we have heard contemplated.
