 HELD FOR A FELONY-Frank Hudson or Van Lint. who was arrested
 a few days ago on charge of stealing $10 from J. C. McNulty. was in Justice Burnett's court yesterday. He was dis missed as to the charge of larceny. but was at once rearrested on q charge Of embeZZlement of the money which he
 was said to have stolen. On the latter charge he was held to trial on August ? his bond being fixed at $50. He was then arrested on a duplicate warrant charging him with the burglary of the residence of Frank Quinn and the theft of money and diamonds This offense was committed some time ago and the stolen property was recovered, and it was understood that the charge against Hudson would not be pressed. Nothing would likely have been done about it
 but for his later offense. His prelnin- ary trial was set for August and his
 bond was fixed at $500. Ignacio Cuavis and N. Robles. who were arrested for fighting at the corner of Fifth and Madison streets, were arraigned and their trial was set for this morning at 9 o'clock

 July 26th. while in the Manila saloon, he was using profane language and denouncing his relatives. Ricardo g
 family lives across the street and he went to the saloon and requested the old gentleman to stop saving so many things in public. as they did not sound good. Thereupon Jose threw his hand back and drawing q revolver flourished it in manner that made his nephew
 retire to the street in short order.
 loses story was in a general way very similar. except that he was on his way to his home in the country

Will Remit Penalties.

Gov. Davis has sent out the fol- lowing to sheriffs of the counties over which the drouth extended last year:
 "Little Rock, Ark, June IA, 1909.
 'Dear Sir-It has been my pur- pose to issue a proclamation relley- ing the citizens of the drouth- stricken regions from the payment of penalties incident to their fall ure to pay their taxes, but 1 have found some trouble in this matter, growing out of the fact that 1t Is difficult to say whether or not l have the power to remit these penal ties, except in individual cases; that is, 1 doubt having the power to make a general remission for your coun- ty. Will you, therefore, kindly send me list of the taxpayers in your county who you think are worthy and deserving to have their penalties remitted on account of the preva- fence of the recent droutb? It IS my purpose to limit this clemency to such taxpayers as have been render ed unable to pay their taxes by req son of the misfortune of the drouth, and to withhold it from such as might be able to pay their taxes, but who yet refrain from doing so in the hope that they might share the clemency extended the deserving, and 1 want to make distinction be- tween the two classes. In sending me this list, please include only those who, in your judgment, you deem to be worthy, and none others. 1 am willing to risk your judgment in the matter.
 'Let me hear from you by early mail, and in the meantime hold up any action about the collection of penalties till I hear from you. In sending me the list you may simply let it contain the names and the amounts of the penalty incurred by reason of the delinquency.

Battle With Robbers.

Lemuel White, bartender of Texarkana, had a thrilling expc- rience with highwaymen while en route home a few mornings ago. There were two of the robbers, and they presented their pistols at Whites head and called on him to throw up his hands. He drew his gun, and a fierce battle ensued. When his right hand was shattered by a bullet, he transferred his pistol to his left, but that member was likewise disabled, and the pistol fell to the ground. He turned and ran, followed by more shots from the robbers. White thinks he wounded one of the men badly. It is known that a young man about town was mysteriously shot and will die. Sus- picion points to him as one of the robbers.
