CONSTABLE CHEEK
CHASING THOMAS MORTON AND
 WIFE.
Alleged That Morton Sold S22o Worth Of Timber Not His Own
 to Jacob Reinhardt.

Constable Cheek left Thursday afternoon. armed with warrant for the arrest of Thomas Norton, who is wanted by the officers for taking away about S220 of MT. Jacob Rein hardt's money.
 Morton and his wife came to Pine Bluff sevral. months ago and lived in house boat on the river. Morton was engaged by MT. Reinhardt, who owns a lumber mill near the mouth of the ravine. 1t seems thot Morton gained tbe confidence of his employer and .soM timber which he had no right to sell.
 Wednesday of last week he left Pine Bluff with about $220. presum- ably going to logging camp near here. He never returned and as soon as Mir. Reinhardt. who had been out of the city for several weeks, heard of Mofton's actions, he reported the matter to the officers. It was learn cd that Morton's wife was to leave Thursday afternoon for Little Rock. so Officers Cheek and Culpepper fol- lowed her to that place, and there she procured ticket to Fort Smith. Culpepper returned home. but Cheek continued to shadow the woman. He followed her to Fort Smith. and will continue to shadow her until her des- tination is reached. where it is thought hsr husband will he located.

having private memoranda of the cases in his court up to date, but that could not be seen. It is his duty to docket all cases coming up before him, and the fact that he does not do so is evidence sufficient to establish the fact that he fails to do it in or der to protect certain ones who are tried before him from exposure A reputable attorney informs the Graph ic that justice of the peace is re. quired by the law to enter all cases on the public docket Esq. Niven has failed to do so.
 The officers of Pine Bluff have no more ardent supporter than the Graphic in their efforts to enforce the law, and it is willing at all times to lend it's aid in securing the proper en- forcement of the law. but it does not desire to be placed in the attitude of showing any partiality in the matter
 It is such conduct upon the part of Esq. Niven which creates contempt for the courts and gives rise to the talk that only those are punished without fear and favor who have no pull with the powers that be. It is such paritality that greatest anarchy and disresDect for tho law. The in. dividual who is shown no partiality complains of the injustice of the law and the one who is favored has no respect for the law or the court. because if punished il is lightly done and he is granted i'm munity from exposure to the public in his disobedience of the legal edicts for the betterment of society.

Niven stated hat the reason other names ot per .ons aeajnst whom warrants were ls- mod could not yet be made public, hocause the warrants had not been Fas because the warrants had not been returned.
 On Thursday morning a Graphic epresentative again called upon Eso. Niven. end was again informed y his honor that no more warrants had been served, hence there were ho more names 10 be made public, as he persons against whom the war ants hod been isssued might jump khe town" if they learned that war tants were out for them before the warrants wore served. ConStable 2 Cheek, in whose hands the warrants bad been placed. said that they had been served on others than those mentioned ia tho list printed in the Graphic. Esq. Niven was asked ho" be could harmonize the statements of himself and Constable Cheek and he made no atempt to do it until in the afternoon. when the Graphic reporter again visited him ond told him that
 he suppressed any further the James of those upon whom the war ants had been served. the Graphic would tell the public he had done So ana expose his partialitv in the mat Fef He then said that if the con slable had served the warrants that Pmcer had made no return of them 70 the court. and he also said that tn men upon whom the warrants had peeh served had not vet appeared be roie tEe court, and he could not give PaeE names to the press before they bid appear.

WAGNER DOING GOOD WORK.
leading the Leagues shortstops, end
Hitting q Great Gin.

Hitting Great Clip
What did I tell you about Hans Wag-
ner as a shortstop-, says a writer in the
Sporting News. The American League
crowd made some trouble for him here
at the start, but he soon silenced them.
Last week he batted at a .455 clip in
six games. In the field, and a strange
position at that, he did even better. In
of which he has accepted all but seven
His average is higher than Ely's at any
time this season, but that is not the
point I want to make. The number of
chances, telling as it does of the ground
covered, is more important than the
record, and in averaging about 1-3
chances a game, Wagner has proved
himself a star shortstop as well as
great Outfielder. Compare this work
with that of some of the regulars last
season and you viii find how good it is.
For instance, Ely averaged 6 1-5 chances
a game, Wallace 65h. Dahlen 81, Monte
Cross Ga, George Davis nearly seven
and all the others had a lower average.
The remarkable feature of Wagner's
record is that it was boosted in the
games played on the road and hurt at
home At Chicago Sunday he accepted
IS out of IA chances and would have
made a clean sweep if Chance had not
knocked the ball out of his hand. If the
club needed a catcher tomorrow and
asked Honus to go behind the bat he
would obey and do his best. That is
the kind of a German he is and it is 4
pity that there are not more players
like him.

RESCUED FROM TOMB.
Two Mem Taken Out of CIeye-
land Tunnel Alive.

Cleveland. O., Aug. 2O.-Adam Kest
and Joseph Engine. two of the work
men who were trapped in the water
works tunnel 200 feet below the surface
of Lake Erie by the burning OF crib No
last Wednesday morning, were
rescued from their dangerous position
late yesterday afternoon and are now
lying semf-conscious at Huron street
hospital. With careful nursing the
physicians they will soon recover their
former strength.
Shut Off from the upper world. the
men knew nothing of the catastrophe
that killed SO many of their comrades
and imprisoned them. They knew that
something had severed their connection
with tic crib. They knew that beyond
the air lock behind which they had
taken refuge the air was too foul to
breathe But they supposed that the
trouble was temporary. Each day they
expected their comrades to come down
the tunnel and rescue them.
When their signal for help, tapped
on the air pipe, was at last answered
from the crib they were preparing to
eat raw mule meat. Their deliverance
came in the nick of time to make IN
necessary this desperate resort to keep
them alive.
