Tough on the Officers.

Two Little Rock policemen re- gently had an unusual and unpleas- ant experience with three highway men. The officers were shadowing the suspects, who suddenly turned and leveled drawn revolvers, com- handing the guardians of the peace to throw up their hands. The off, cers were so taken by surprise they offered no resistance. The bandits disarmed them, took what money and valuables they had, and then compelled them to march out in the country a distance of ten miles At this point the robbers returned the weapons of their victims, after drawing the cartridges, and told them to sshotfoot it" back to town. It is believed the trio of bandits had planned to rob a Choctaw train on the night of the above occurrence, but abandoned the idea.

 fin walked boldly within reach of his
 stride. The bear jumped on Griffin
 suddenly, planting his teech in the

 fort the bear was shaken off and Griffin borne out of reach of the animal When Griffin recovered from his shock he was so enraged that he grabbed up large stool and started after the bear again. This time the bear caught him on the arm, almost severing the member. The bear was beaten back by attend ants, who had reached the scene at this time. Although badly wound- ed. Griffin will recover.

In Good Condition.

Estimates filed with Engineer Pharr, of the St. Francis levee board, show that $17,0oo worth of work was done in February on the line from Scanlan to Cat Island. The contract was to have been com pleted by March 1, but bad weather prevented this. About a mile of work is yet to be done. The gap at Pecan Point has just been complet- ed, and the repair and wing work are practically complete. As a whole, the St. Francis line in this state is considered in good condition to with stand any flood which may reason ably be expected from the Ohio riv- CT.

Close of Celebrated Case.

The death of V. A. Potts at Esau. Perry county, closes a remarkable criminal case that has been in the courts several years. Potts death was due to the kick of a horse. Tn 1898 Potts, who was employed as a guard at a convict camp in Pulaski county, shot and killed Warden Giles Hudson. The trouble arose over the killing of a convict by another guard, P. Fulgum, who was exon erated on the ground of self-defense. Potts was indicted October 3, 1898, for murder in the first degree and his bond fixed at $5,00o, a change of venue taken to Perry county, where he was convicted and sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary. A new trial was granted by the su- preme court after he had served a portion of his sentence, and he was released. But the new trial never took place.

Non-Expert Testimony No Good.

In the case of John Jarvis KS. State, the supreme court held that the opinion of a non-expert witness as to the sanity or insanity of a de- fendant is not admissible as evil dence, unless accompanied by a state ment of the facts inducing it.

He was unable to explain away the charge, and his appoint ment was withdrawn.
 Dun's monthly review of business says: Although the shortest month of the year was further curtailed by two holidays and handicapped by the most severe storms of the winter, industrial and trade results were most satisfactory. The closing week brought a general resumption of ac- tivity in lines that suffered from the weather, and preparation for an eX- ceptionally heavy spring business was reported at many points, south ern cities alone being backward h. sufficient motive power and bad weather combined to restrict the movement of coke from Councils vile, and pig iron production suffers at a time when a maximum output would not be excessive. This diff culty extends all along the line. Pressure for structural material is already severe, and will probably be still more so as the regular building season draws nearer.
