IMPORTANT MATTER
Considered by the Pine Bluff Com
mercial League.

Of this county are as fertile as any
in the state. and Pine Bluff would af-
ford a much better market than Stutt-
gart for farm products.
Let the Commercial League take
this matter uD with the determination
to accomplish something and good re
suits are sure to follow.
Secretary Russell has mailed to
each Of the Illinois gentlemen named
a booklet which sets forth some of
the many advantages Of Pine Bluff
and Jefferson county, and this should
be followed with an effort to induce
these gentlemen to visit Pine Bluff at
as early a date as possible, and there
should be lain before them all the ad
vantages possessed by the city am,
county for skilled farmers who desire
to engage in raising live stock and
all kinds of farm crops.
Just imagine what an influx of 15o
to 200 persons month to Jefferson
county would soon result in to this
vicinity.

w. v. TAYLOR
UNDER ARREST ON CHARGE OF
STEALING $40.
That Much Of Section Foreman Lau-
derdaIe's Cash Is Missing and
Taylor Is Suspected.

w. Nj. Taylor a, white man who has
at different times been in the employ
of the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain
railroads as a section foreman, is i'll
the custody of the police authorities
of this city with some grave suspic-
ions resting against him.
A section foreman on the Iron
Mountain between Pine Bluff and Lit
tie Rock, of the name of Lauderdale,
claims to have had $40 in cash stolen
from him Sunday night. He and Tay,
lor had been together during the day,
being room mates.
Taylor was suspected as the guilty
party and he was arrested. When
searched $40 was found on his person
He strenuously denies the charge OF
having robbed the man, and states
that he had $65 when he came here
but that he spent $25 of it. He was
unable to tell where he spent any
part of the $25. He does not appear
to have been intoxicated and the Of
ficers believe that his inability or in
disposition to account for the $2s
that he claims he spent confirms theii
suspicious. He is undergoing tbs
sweatbox proceedings and is being
held for developments.

FAR MER MAKES TROUBLE
BY INSULTING A LADY AT HYP.
MOTTO RESURRECTION
And Attempts to Shoot Officer CuI-
pepper, Who Arrested and
Locked Him Up.

The resurrection of Jesse lie Mar
and the breaking down Of the plat
form, precipitating twenty men to the
ground, were not the only incidents of
interest that occurred last Saturday
night at the performance of Prof Mill
ward John Harrell, we'll known
farmer of Cleveland county raised a
OF the evening. He was in an advance
stage of inebriation, and while in this
condition insulted a lady in the
crowd.
Officer Culpepper was in the crowd
and he was appealed to. He located
the disturber and had to use consid,
cradle force in taking him to the sta
ton. AS the front entrance to the
station was reached, Harrell evident
ly made UP his mind to go no further
and proceeded to draw gun on Cul-
pepper. Culpepper saw the gun just
as Halrell was raising it to draw on
him. and seized the weapon before
Harrell had time to use it, In doing
so. Harrell. who was very groggy, fell
| against the door and had his face
pretty badly bruised
Harrell's reputation is rather unsav-
ory and the officer thinks that he had
a very narrow escape from being shot
He Was completely taken by surprise
at Harrells action in drawing the pis
tol. He thought it was just an ordin-
ary case of too much whisky. and did
not anticipate a gun play from him
| Harrell is quite an old man. He was
| brought before Judge Brown this
morning and was fined $50 for his pis
! tol act. The old fellow is pretty We'll
known among the supply men of the
city and had little trouble in getting
one Of them to become his surety, and
he was released from custody.

SEWARD ACQUITTED
ON THE CHARGE OF EXHIBITING
GAMING DEVICE.
Evidence All Sustained the Charge,
but Court DISCHARGED the De-
fendant Anyhow

In the face of overwhelming evi-
dence which tended to show that the
law had been violated, Esquire w D.
Vance saw fit to discharge Fred Sell
yard this morning when tried for eX-
hibting a gaming device. The trial
was the outcome Of news item pub
lished in the Graphic Sunday week
ago.
In it was stated that on the Satur-
day night before the item appeared
slot machines were being operated in
the saloons of Lou Owen and Fred
Senyard. Or the following Monday
beth men were arrested and release
on their own recognizance to await
trial, which was set fer today.
The trial Of Fred Senyard occurred
this morning. and he was discharged
Two witnesses appeared for the
state. The testimony of one was that
On the Saturday night referred to, he
learned that slot machines were being
operated in the two saloons mention
ed. An investigation confirmed thu
report. a money slot machine was
in view in Lou Ovens saloon that dis!
not refuse to accept any money droD-
ped into it. In Fred Senyard's sa-
loon. two machines-money and check
were being operated. Several men
were playing the machines at each
place.
The other witness, a deputy sheriff,
testified that he learned that the ma
chimes were being operated and noti-
fed the saloon keepers in each it-
stance to cease operating them This
was done about 2 O'Clock. He did
not know whether or not the ma
chimes were put away.
Mr. Senyard's testimony was that
the machines were operated on the
Saturday night in question. But for
a very short time" said Mr.. Senyard.
Il had offers from men for the pur
chase of both machines and l had
them out to test them
He further testified that something
in the restaurant in the rear of his sa
loon prevented him from moving the
machines to that part of the building
to test them.
He confessed to operating the ma
chimes. but not for the purpose of
speculation or violating the law. but
simply to test them. He displayed
letters and telegram from the pros
pective purchasers of the machines.
The evidence received, Esquire
Vance lit his cigar and announced
that the defendant was discharged.
Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells, who
conducted the eve onlination of the wit
nesses. appeared rather displeased
| with the verdict. and requested a jury
for the trial of Mr.. Owen. charged
with the same offense. His case is
set for this afternoon and will be
heard before a jury of representative
citizens.
The verdict rendered in the Sen
ward case surprised every one hui
those who expected it. The evidence
was all against Mr.. Senyard. He ad
mitted operating the machines, but
the fact that they were being tested
and that where any one who wanted
| to could drop a nickel in-was suf
! ficient to cause Esquire Vance to dis
charge him from the charge of exhib
iting a gaming device.

 Account of Making Voters.

Account of Making Voters
 Judge Cowell presided at short cal endar in the district court to-day. The list contained quite lot of business but owing to the pressure of candi- dates for citizenship the most of if was put over to next week and only the most important part disposed of. Judgment for foreclosure was grant ed Daniel F. Hart against George A. Upham some weeks ago and to-day the debt was figured up. It was found to be $3,072. Judgment for foreclo- sure was also granted the Waterbury Lumber and Coal Go against F q Bryan ct ux for S195. Law day two months from date. Judgments were entered in the following cases of hear- ing. in damages: William Schlag var- sus Alfred Colby Charboneau for S75 Plaintiff claimed to have been bittan by the defendants dog and received physical injuries as we'll as loss of clothing; Nora CoughIan versus fhe United Gas Improvement Go. i,dp- ment for the plaintiff to recover som The claim was for $1,5O0. Plaintiff aI- leged to have been seriously and per manently injured by inyoluntarily in- haling gas from defective pipes owned by the company. One of her specific claims was that she lost a child by the said injuries. Assignments of cases for hearing were made as follows: J. B.

WH(O

was it that went down into the ele- vator in Egypt hundreds of years ago and bought all the grain, or at least got 6 corner on the market. As far as we understand he was the first one ever born who started a monOp- Oly, or in other words, trust; there fore, for short, we'll call him q grain king. From that time up to the 18th century there has been quite a number of trust kings, but here they never were in it for minute with our present day kings, for instance, our grain king, the Standard Oil king, the copper king i've don't mean the Merfden road copper king), the cotton king, and. worst of ali; the coal king. Say, we've been wondering of late as to whether this latter coal king is possessed of a heart. In all probability he has one, but for heav- en's sake, what is it composed of? Is 1t made of Carnegie steel or polit- lcal steal? Is it of guerrilla type or IS It composed of real Americanism
 IT it's the latter, and we hope it is, why the dickens don't he prove it so and settle the coal strike? He might as we'll say the word for humanity's sake; he should remember that he cannot take his wealth with him when he closes his eyes for his last rest. Say, we've been thinking that lhls coal king, smart as he is, doesn't drlnk tea or coffee, or if he does he Duys the cheap trash. The quality or tea we sell at 50c per pound would 6o this coal king more good than l uozen trips across the ocean. Anv- one In doubt should try it from
