Bold Escape from Tail.

Henry Hudley, colorcd, confined in. the Pulaski jail awaiting trial on the charge of murder in the first degree, made his escape in a bold and daring manner. Hudley secret ed himself near the inner door, and after this entrance was opened he sprang against the jailer, who lost his balance. Before the officers could regain his feet Hudley had rushed down a flight of steps and from the jail yard. The jailer was delayed a few moments in locking the doors of other prisoners, which gave the fleeing man an opportunity to get away.

Arrested for an Old Crime.

A negro named Mathew Hill was arrested last week at Little Rock on the charge of larceny and bur- glary, alleged to have been commit ted in Ashley county seven years ago. Hill has worked in Little Rock since 1895, with the exception of a term of enlistment in the vol- unteer army, when he saw active service in the Philippines. He is said to have been brave and model soldier, being honorably discharged at the expiration of his term of en- listmcnt, and his arrest was a sur prise to those with whom he came in contact since his residence in Little Rock.

Used Knife and Pistol.

At a saw mill, near Lebanon, there was a cutting and shooting ssrape between Henry Ladd and Ar thur Littlefield, in which the former was seriously cut and the other slightly shot. The row was the outcome of an old feud. It appears that Ladd ordered Littlefeld off the premises, and when he left, Ladd followed, striking Littlefeld, when the latter cut the former, and then Ladd shot Littlefeld in the leg, in- flicting flesh wound.

LAW FOR FISHERMEN.
Principles Established by the Eng fish Regarding Fishing Leases
 mud Streams,

Anglers are net usually litigious set of men. but within the last few years they have appeared occasionally before the high court to protect their rights and interests. This has no doubt been caused by the difficulty of ob- taining and preserving good fishing stream, says the London Globe. The formation of fishery districts and con- servancy boards under recent statutes has been a useful means of attaining this object, while prosecutions under bylaws and proceedings to prevent river pollution have provided lawyers with a considerable amount of work The class of cases to which we more particularly wish to refer to here, says the Justice of the Peace, are of a some what different kind, as they deal rather with the legal nature of a fish cry, and of the power to lease it, and the right conferred by such lease.
 Generally the right of fishing in a river or stream belongs to the adjoin- ing owner, or, rather, to the owner of the bed of the river or stream. This right may, however, be severed and dealt with as separate incorporeal hereditament, apart from the owner ship of the soil. This may be done by grant, or the right may be acquired by prescription. In the older books such a severed fishery was called a. several fishery or separalis piscaria. In the same way as the fishing could be severed and become a separate in- corporeal hereditament, so could it be leased by deed for term of years. At common law such lease, if not grant ed by deed, would merely amount to license and confer no right of prop erty; but if it was intended to be lease, specific performance might now be granted in the chancery division. It has been said that a right to fish and not to take away the fish might be given verbally or by writing without deed, as it is the taking away of the fish which, being a profit a prendre, constitutes the interest in land. If, however, the right of fishing is granted by deed, the grant will clearly imply that the grantee can take away the fish. 1nasmuch also as the grantee ac- qulres an interest in land, he can sue In trespass to prevent any injury to or disturbance of his right.

NEWS OF ARK KANSAS.
Kept His Word.

Ulysses Waters, young farmer of Pope county, voluntarily return ed to the Pulaski county jail few days ago to serve out a sixty days sentence imposed in federal court last April for the crime of illegal sale of liquor. At the time of his conviction Waters had planted a crop, from the proceeds of which de- pended the support of himself and aged mother. At his request and upon petition of citizens of Pope county, Judge Trieber permitted Waters to return home without bond, he agreeing to serve his time cfter his crop was laid by. True to his word, Waters presented himself to the proper officials at the appointed time. It is more than probable Wa ters will be released by Judge Trieb- CT. Waters tells of his trouble in straightforward, simple manner: '1 haven't got anybody to look after but my old mother,'' he said at the jail. 'She is getting old and feeble now, and it's mighty hard to leave her all by herself on the farm. l was guilty of the charge against me, but the good Lord knows I'll never be guilty of it again. 1 had my crop planted when 1 was arrested, and 1 was glad to get back to it when the judge let me off if I would promise to come back and serve out my sen- tence. I intended all the time to come back on the first day of August, but I had not finished laying by my crop and I just couldn't get away any sooner. 1 came as quick as l could, though l would be mighty glad to get out of here now, for l know things won't go well with mother and the farm if I'm not there. It is hard to leave her up there by herself. If they don't turn me loose I have arranged with a friend to gather my crop, but that will take a good deal out of what l ought to make by it. If I had my debts paid it wouldn't make so much difference. But I owe $150 and I'd hate worse than anything for the men who signed the notes to have to pay lem for me-"

Lsfe's Lesson.

It is well to keep in mind that no day leaves us just where it found us. We are with each departing day older in time and nearer to the grave. Some addition for good or ill is made to the record of life. We are made better or worse. Habit becomes little strong. CT. Our opportunities in life lessen. The need of dispatch in the work of life increases. We have less time to waste.-Detroit Free Press.

The Terrible Calansity Tha: Startled Bowen, Col, and Vicinity
 Thursday Evening.
ELEVEN BODIES OF DEAD RECOVERED.
The Rescue Party Compelled to Sus- pend Operations Owing to Ac- emulation of Fire Damp-The Total Death List Will Reach at Least Thirteen.

Trinidad, Col, Aug. 9.-The rescue party at the Bowen mine, near the town of Bowen, where a disastrous explosion occurred Thursday evening, was compelled to suspend work at one o'clock Friday morning owing to fredamp. At that h our the bodies of II dead had been recovered. There were at least 13 men in the mine at the time of the explosion, and all were undoubtedly killed.
 The Known Dead.
 Michael Cassidy, single.
 James Hunter. single; miner.
 Frank Greats, married; miner.
 Joe Sanchez, single; miner.

 H. Creech, single; driver.
 J. Keanolly, miner; single.
 Oscar Berg, miner; single.
 Joe Gordon, colored; single.
 Arthur Myers, miner; single.
 Tilden Winfield, colored; single.
 No Gsss In the Mine.
 No gas has ever been discovered in the mine, and it is the opinion of the officials that the accident was caused by premature shot.
 The powderhouse at the mouth of the mine, containing about 1000 pounds of blasting powder, was ex- ploded by the shocks in the mine, and great damage was done to the mouth of the slope.
 Bowen Was Badly Shaken. The town of Bowen, situated about a quarter of a mile below the mine, was shaken and number of windows broken. Immediately after the eX- plosion almost the entire population of the town rushed to the mouth of the mine.
 The explosion occurred about 1000 feet from the surface. The mine was quickly filled with gas and smoke, and those who escaped instant death were undoubtedly suffocated.
 One Man Blown to Pieces.
 Mike Cassidy was blown to pieces. His head was picked up nearly 100 feet from where the body was found, and his legs are still missing.
 The body of James Hunter was ter ribly mangled.
