LEGAL l. CONTRACT
MAY BE MADE IN ARKANSAS BY
MOMOMANIAC.
Provided 1t Is Outside Particular
Mania of Monomaniac, Says
Supreme Court.

In the case OF w. !. Seawell VS.. Jno.
C.Neill guardian ad-litem of A. =.
Dirst, ct al, the supreme court this
morning passed upon an interesting
phase of the law of insanity, says the
Little Rock Democrat. In this suit
cil9 Of tie principal points arose on an
attack made in behalf OF the heirs
of one Dirst upon trust deed ex-
ecuted by him during his lifetime
upon the ground that at the time Of its
execution he was of unsound mind
and incapable of making a contract.
The evidence showed that on certain
subjects, Dirst was unbalanced to the
extent of being a mGnomaniac thereon.
He imagined that the domestic ami
mails about the farm were infested
with hydrphobia. and that his wife
was insane. He seemed to also have
a delusion that certain of his neigh
bors had been buried alive for the
sole purpose of fooling him. and that
various other things We're done by
different persons solely for that pur
pose. However. on all subjects con-
uected with his business-that of a
nurseryman-he seemed at all times
perfectly rational. and throughout the
trasactions leading up to the execution
cf the trust deed in question he seem
cd to have a correct and intelligent ap
probation of what he was doing. In
holding that the showing of insanity
was not sufficient to authorize the
court to set aside the deed of trust
Mr.. Justice Riddick stated that the
rule to be that mere monOmania or
partial insanity was not sufficient to
invalidate transact occurring
along an entirely different line from
that in which the party exhibits men
tai weakness; and that monomaniac
may, on all subjects outside his par
ticular mania be perfectly sane and
capable of binding his estate by his
contracts The decision of the court
below was reversed on this point.

LOSS OF 100000
SUSTAINED BY 6ODCAW LUMBER
COMPANY AT STAMPS.
SaWrniI No. 1 Burned, the Loss Not
Being Total. as $56 900 Insur-
ance Was Carried.

The Bodcaw lumber company of
Stamps, on the Cotton Belt, suffered a
most disastrous fire at an early houl.
Friday morning The mill was being
run only in the day time
The fire originated in saw mill No
|, and is supposed to have originated
from q dry pipe The timbers about
the place where the fire started were
saturated with oil from the machinery
and as soon as the blaze was ignited,
it almost instantly covered the place.
The Watchman gave the alarm. and
the mill mon turned out post haste to
fight the fire. The fire spread so rap
idly, however, that they could do moth
ing with the mill. and turned their at.
tentiCn to saving adjoining property.
There were eight big dry kilns only
short distance from the mill. but the
flames were confined to the mill, which
was soon reduced to ashes
The plant consisted of two big saw
mills and three planning mills and the
dry kilns and lumber piles. The de
strGction of saw mill No means the
loss~'of 100000 worth CT property
The mill was substantially built and
equipped with improved machinery.
1t will be rebuilt as soon as possible,
work to begin at once. The new mil,
will be larger and better constructed
than the old one. It will require about
three months to complete it and get it
to running.
The company carried $4,000 insur-
ance on the burned building. The to-
tai insurance on the mill was $50, 900

A, 02S.92S heeces Of an aggregate weight
OF 275.991 SD pounds of unwashed wool
In some sections of the country sheep
are shorn both in the fall and spring
and thus two fieeces are reported for
the same sheep and some further APP
parent discrepancy arises from the fact
that many farmers sell sheep for
slaughter. sheariug them before the
slaughter. over one-half of the sheep.
and thus over one-haif OF the wool. is
reported from the western states Of
which Montana has the largest and
Wyoming the second largest number
and greatest quantity.
Of goats. the census reports a total
of all ages Of ISL %, OF which Texas
contains the largest number, an az
gregate exceeding one-third Of all in
the United States. New Mexico con-
tains the next largest number, a total
of 2241S6. Exclusive Of the kids less
than 1 year old. only a portion OF the
goats reported are kept for their mo-
hair or goat. hair. hence there IS re-
ported only 454.922 heeces of an aggre-
