HUGH PUTNAM ACQUITTED.
Eureka Springs Jury Says He is
 Not Guilty as Charged.

Hugh Putnam, the Carrollton blacksmith, who was accused of the larceny of Drummer Pat o. iver's pocket-b book and contents, was acquitted by jury in the Eureka Springs court last week,
 It will be remembered by TRIB- UNE readers that Putnam was arrested on this charge about year ago. The charge was pre- fered by Pat Oliver, the we'll known commercial traveller, who lost his pocket book containing S265 in currency together with some valuable papers at Carroll ton. An indictment was lodged against Putnam at the August term of the court at Berryville last year, charging him with grand larceny. The case was called in regular order for trial at the February term of court at Berryville, but a change of venue was granted changing the case to the Eureka Springs court, where the case was disposed of last week.
 The state based it's case against Putnam on circumstantial evil dence. It was proven that Put man was a man of limited means and that S165 was found securely put away in trunk in his home when the arrest was made. A one dollar bill was also identified as having been paid to Mr. Oliver d short time before the book was lost, the bill having been traced back to the hands of Putnam. The bill in question had been torn in two and fastened together with cigarette papers. A num- Der of other corrOborative cir cumstances were also introduced.
 But the state either failed to remove all doubt of the defend- ent's guilt from the minds of the jurors who sit on the case or else the argument of his council had it's weight. A rule of law was cited wherein the finding and keeping of an article was not lar- ceny unless it be shown that it was the finders intention at the time the find was made to convert the thing to his own use; that if the determination to keep same and convert it to his own use was made later, the finder would in the spirit of the law become a trustee of the actual owner and would therefore be guilty of em- bezzlement, and not larceny upon which charge defendent was on trial.
 The ownership of the money that was taken from Putnam trunk as well as the one dollar bill is yet to be determined dur ing the pending term of Cir cult Court at Berryville, and another lively suit seems probable.
 It is possible that a charge of embezzlement may be instituted against Putnam and the whole ground may be to go over again.

A Ministers Good Worh.

''I had a severe attack of bil- ious colic, got bottle of Cham berlain s Colic, Cholera and Dia- rrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. My neighbor across .the street was sick for overa week, had two or three bottles of medi- cine from the doctor. He used them three or four days without relief, and then called i'll an other doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief and so discharged him. 1 went over to see him next morn- ing He said his bowels were in
 a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was al
 most bloody flux. asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Col ic Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy and he said, 'No,' and I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured.

Every drug store proprietor has been indicted. ev- cry restaurant, every other thing, that could be construed as viola ton of the stringent Sunday law thatls now an adherence on the statute books of the state. Had it been possible to have remained in session longer there is no doubt that nobody would have been overlooked. As it is probably thirty of the forty indictments re- turned are against those who are said to have violated the Sunday law.
 The druggists of the city held a meeting this forenoon to determine what is best to do in the future. ltis agreed by everybody in Eu- reka Springs that the work of the grand jury has presented serious aspect for the people of a health and pleasure resort. A majority of the business men interviewed by the Times Edho are almost in arms over the matter, and their judgment that it will prove de- trimental to the city is unques- tionably correct. Another meet- ing of the druggists will be held tonight, and it is likely that other meetings of similar character will be called.
 The prosecuting attorney was asked relative to his position in the matter, and said that it had been a question left wholly with the grand jury. He was con- suited about it, but replied that while he would prosecute indict- ments under the law, he believed this was a question that should be determined upon by the people here. He believed that the re- cent agitation of the law had much to do with it, and said that the same trouble is being had all over the state.
 The restaurant people have not determined to close doors on Sun day. In fact, it seems to be a question if they can be made to do so, even under the drastic law under which the indictments are found, and if they shouldi it would put an end to all the excursion business. It may be, as the prosecuting attorney suggests, that the matter is not so bad as represented, and that things will again quiet down. But it is ap- parently bad enough.
 The grand jury which caused all this commotion was composed of the following: II. M. Coyle, foreman; J. w. Walker, J H. Cal endar, o. M. Clark, J. NJ. Jack son (4 days), Thos. Gray c days) s. E. Hays, J. c. Fraker, Joseph Collinsworth, Lewis Augustine, J. N. Edwards, J. E. Spencer, Jona- than Sites, John Dickens, Il. c. Windell, John Schnitzer and J. W. Gentry.

4 GIANT FRUIT FARM.
How Peach Harvesting Is Done ona Big Scale in Missouri

How Pcacn EdT TVcStlhS AS OOnc
 ona Big Scale in Missouri. The following article relative to the famous fruit farm at St.. Elmo, Mo-, is taken from the West Plains (Mo.) Gazette. It is not only interesting reading but it will show TRIBUNE readers what great possibilities there is in fruit growing in this country, for fhe great orchard described by this article is located on no bet -ter ground for fruit growing than are thousands of acres of land in Carroll county. This farm is only about 150 miles northeast of us. The West Plains Gazette's write-upis as follows:
 ''John G. McNair, president of the American Orchard company, which owns one of the largest fruit farms in the world at St. Elmo, has been called the "Peach King" and to convince one of the fact that he is justly deserv- ing of the title person has to visit his farm at St. Elmo and take look at the preparations that have been made to handle the peach crop.
 New buildings have been erect ed, tents put up and packing, sheds built all over the vast or- chards. At St. Elmo, two miles below Koshkenong, the head quarters of Mr. McNair have been established. This is right in the center of his immense or chard of 1, ,9O0 acres, all planted in peaches.
 To handle the fruit Mir. McNair will need about 800 hands, and he will pay 2 cents per hour for men and 6 cents an hour for wom- en, with their meals and lodging thrown in. Superintendents and foremen will receive more pay. About 50 expert packers will be imported and they will see that the peaches are properly packed.
 A large tent around which numerous small tents are pitched, seXlll be the quarters for the wom- gn. A barbed wire fence 16 feet
 igh, and the wires oEly a few gnches apart, has been erected saround the women's headquar- ters. Mr. McNair certainly isn't going to allow any love making varound his camp.
 The men will be quartered in the barracks which were used last year and which have been enlarged. Bunks several tiers high have been put up in the barracks in order that the men can be accommodated.
 A large tent with several long tables placed inside will be used as an eating house. Every seat at each table will be numbered and the men and women will each have a number, so they can find their respective places at the ta- bles. Thirty cooks will provide the grub necessary for his large army of fruit handlers.
 Exactly 75 double deck wagons nave been provided for hauling Fhe fruit from the trees to the packing house at St. Elmo. Ten Thousand packing baskets are Plready at the farm, together With material enough for 200 cars Pf peaches. One- half of this box Aaterlal has already been put pgether ready for packing to begin.
 Mr. McNair has bought almost
 II Of the peach crop around Eoshkenong. He expects to, ship 10 to 20 cars of fruit each ny until the season is over. If,
 e rams continue for few days
 crop will be immense and the
 mencan Orchard company will
 axe a fortune on the crop"
