peacefully come into possession of val
liable tract OF land; but he decided to
select strip skirting the entire border
of the townsite, a mile long and but a
quarter of a mile wide. This enraged
some of the Settlers" and his claim
will be contested. More than 500 people
We're occupying the claim for townsite
purposes at the time of Woods entry,
and these people assert that his entry
was made for the purpose of specula-
ton, rather than for bona fide settle
ment for homestead purpoes, as is evil
denced by the shape of the claim Sc
lected. They allege that it is in viola
ton of the spirit and letter of the home
stead law, ask that the homestead entry
be Cancelled and that they, the townsite
settlers, be permitted to enter the
same as a townsite. The second contest
is brought by Attorney j. L. Calvert,
and contains no points not included in
the first.
Mr. Woods attorneys state that the
contest gives them no alarm. They have
instructed their client to serve notice on
all occupants of the claim that they are
trespassers and must vacate within ten
days. Mr.. Woods has brought his wife
there and they have taken up their
residence on the land.
Horace Snpaa 11rifoI Ctotac disfr;nt
attorney for Oklohoma, when he heard
of the Woods selection, was quoted as
saying:
Any good lawyer can defeat Woods If
a contest is Instituted. The law contem-
plates no such perversion of homestead
rights. If contest Is instituted there
can be only one result
Buildings have already begun on the
Woods homestead. Those who have es-
tablished themselves in business along
the south border of the town, called Nc
Coy avenue, have received the tip not
to move and to pay no attention to
Woods. He will, it is said, have to in
stitute legal proceedings to eject them
1t may be that Woods has drawn an
expensive piece of litigation instead of
fortune. 1t looks as IL he had grabbed
too much. 1t is certain that Uncle Sam
never intended that any settler should
have such superior advantages as
Woods seeks to obtain.

DRAWING A FORTUNE OR LAW SUIT.

Occasionally it happens that what
seems good fortune may prove Iii for
tune. 1t occurs frequently when a man
has the choice of grabbing the best in
sight, especially when he attempts to
encircle too much. Everybodyswas ready
to congratulate James r. Woods, the
winner of claim No. in Uncle SANS
lottery at Oklahoma, when the news
was announced. It was known that he
could select a 1so-acre claim adjoining
the townsite Of Lawton, and that it
would easily be worth $4,000. Now,
Woods might have been moderate in his
act Of selecting, might have won the
good will Of the Lawtonites and have

The Davenport Times notices that
"the two Grinnell professors who lately
met in Chicago to make heart to heatr

returned home hand in hand, and as

Being a farmer boy he did not have the opportunity of an ex- tensive education and is what might be termeda self-madem man. He was born in Lincoln county, Tenn, July 3, 1947, being the son of Thomas and Keziah Coch- ran. He was licensed to preach the gospel in 1869, ordained dea- con by Bishop Pierce in 1873, or dained Elder by Bishop Doggett i'll 1878, admitted on trial into the White River Conference in 1874, of which conference he is still a member. On December 25, 1867, he married Miss Mollie M. Ross. He is the father of ten children of who m eight are now living. At the age of ten he moved to Arkansas, settling in Fulton county. In January 1900 he was transferred to the McCrory charge where he has zealously labored since. As we stated be- fore McCrory can and ought to be proud of such a pastor.

OUR LEGISLATURE.

THAT legislature of ours re- minds one of Judas of old and Judge Shyras of the supreme court of the United States. One betrayed his Savior, the other killed the income tax. This leg islature, the august law making body of Arkansas, passed MT. Woods ammendment almost unanimously. This was right and democratic. A local matter of this kind should have been left to the people of the county affect ed. This our praying sanctified Aaron could not afford to do. Why? Because he knew the people would defeat it. What would defeat mean to the wholesale and retail Pattonites? It might cause Augusta to lose the court house and these specu- lators miss their haul. We must remember they have $2,O0O or S3,O0O at stake in this matter and a fighting chance to clear or pocket S3O,OOo.
 What did they do? They worked on the legislature to have them recede from the Woods amendment. On Mon day, April p, the vote stood 50 to 26 against receding, and on last Friday the vote stood 49 to 10. According to Sam Jones, they saw something had to be did. :" On Saturday it was called up again and Mark Hanna bewilder- ed and subdued the honesty of the house. A wonderful change oyercame the mighty law makers of our state and as a result the vote stood 46 to 34 in favor of re- ceding.
 Methinks I see liberty frown and freedom draw her veil, but Satan sits on Jupiter throwing kisses and smiles upon his allies. They must remember however that truth crushed to earth will rise again; the eternal days of God are hers, and error, wound ed, writhes in pain, and dies amid her worshipers.

HOT SPRINGS ROBBERY.

We are in receipt of marked copy of the Hot Springs Sentinel of the date of April 28, contain ing an account of the robbery and attempted murder of one J. T. Wilson, a visitor to the springs from Omaha. It has stirred up quite a little excitement at that place. Our friend R. M. Conner who so kindly sent us the paper informs us in a private letter that MT. Wilson has his family there, he himself having the appearance of being nice man and belong ing to the Masonic, Red Men, Woodmen, and Odd Fellows lod- ges. Two persons of unsavory reputation hailing from Kansas City, were arrested on suspicion. One is reported to have confessed to the crime.
 The statement made by Wilson and appearing in the Sentinel says: T was knocked in the back of the head near the place where the engine stood, and there robbed of the money I had. consisting of S195. Two men were in the plot. They gagged me and then made me accompany them back to the rear of the train on the dark side of the cars. When we arrived at the sleeper they gave me back the purse and letters, etc., keeping the money. Just as the bell was ringing and the train getting in motion they pushed me under the train. It was with the greatest effort that 1 got out at all. They meant to murder me. I managed to get my body from under the cars, and later one leg, but just as the other was coming out the wheel struck it and cut it in two."
 An exchange tells about a young man whose sister went east to school. He sat down onher for getting guskhy. She was good for a year and then wrote home letter and signed it Jess- ica. Then he wrote back thus: Dear sister Jessica: Your vel come letter received. Mammaica and papaica are we'll. Aunt Maryica and Georgica started for Californica yesterday. I have bought a new horsica. It is beautica. It's name is Mono ica. Your affectionateica broth erica, Samica. Her next letter was signed Jess.

A cargo of 1900 dead soldiers
from the Philippines is one of the
results of McKinley's policy of
benevolent assimilation. But what
matters It'll Christian civilization
must have its way. A few hundred
corpses, more or less, is not to be
taken into the account. The Fill
pinos must be taught the principles
of free government if half Of them
are killed in the attempt, and a few
cargoes of dead American boys
should not be permitted to hinder
the march of imperialism. The
Americans are a thrifty race and
their commerce must expand They
have machinery to sell, they have
cotton goods to dispose Of and they
have many other things to export,
and the Orient affords a most re-
munerative field for barter. They
have money to invest and didn't
Senator Beveridge say that the Phil
ippines offered wonderful opportu-
mites to capital. Fifteen hundred
dead soldiers are a CHASTITY cargo,
but the Americans are progressive,
and can not afford to stop to
consider things of this sor, whe n
they are engaged IN expanding their
commerce and teaching benighted
people how to enjoy the blessings o,
free government.

that he has sized up the situation
