Killed His Father.

John Nassano, aged 22, shot and killed his father, aged 60, at their home in Little Rock, the weapon used being d shotgun loaded with buckshot. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, which was the result of the crazed condition of young Nassano, from over-indulgence in liquor. When officers arrived they found young Nassano standing over the body of his father with a shot gun in his hand. He turned upon the officers and threatened them with instant death if they did not leave him alone. After some per suaslon he consented to give up his gun and to go quietly with the of- ficers. After his confinement in the jail he was quiet, and would only say that he was justified in killing his father and would pro- duce evidence to that effect. While being taken to jail he stated that several others were implicated in the deed and that some of them held the victim while he shot him. The police place no confidence in the story and attribute it to the crazed condition of the man at the time. The murdered man was a good citizen, and his son had caused him great deal of trouble from drinking.

Report on Hot Springs Reservation.

The annual report of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock on the Hot Springs reservation shows d large increase in the patronage of this fa- nous health resort. During the year 65,00O visitors were at the springs and the total number of baths given was 6;3,6,9. The title to the hot springs was originally acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of April 30, 1903, and still further strengthened by the treaty made with the Quapaw In dians, August 24, ISIS, which ceded to the United States all lands south of the Arkansas river.
 The hot water issues from about forty-eight springs on the west side and base of Hot Springs moun> tain. These springs are mostly in- closed for the purpose of protect ing them from pollution, as well as to permit of the conveyance of the water therefrom to the several bath houses and the impounding reser- volr. The actual amount of water issuing from the springs is not under control. A conservative cs- innate, however, of the outflow of the springs may be stated to be o5O,OO0 gallons daily.

Statute of Limitation Defieed.

A case of general interest was re- gently decided by the state supreme court relating to the statute of lint- ltatlon. In November, 1899, Mrs. F. F. Enrich of Little Rock in taking hold of guy wire belonging to the street car company, charged With electricity, received severe shock. She brought suit for dam ages against the street car company. alleging that it negligentlv allowed Its guy wire to hang so near the ground that a person passing on the sidewalk would come in contact herewith. She recovered iudg- ment in the Pulaski circuit court In about thirteen months after the accident her husband brought suit against the same company for the injuries to his wife and for medical bills, etc. The defendant inter- posed a plea of statute of limitation ot one year. The circuit judge sus- talned this plea. From this rul- ing Enrich appealed to the supreme court which held that the lower court erred in ruling that the one- year statute of limitation does not apply to negligence.

New Rock Island Roads.

Charters for the construction of two new roads by the Rock Island were granted by the state railway board last week. The smaller of the two roads is an extension of the Searcy and Des Arc from Des Arc to Hazen and from Searcy to Cle- bulne county. The descrip ption of the Little Rock and Southern, the larger route, as contained in the ar tlcles of incorporation, is as fol- lows: Making connection with the Choctaw between Benton and the Iron Mountain crossing, near Traskwood, Saline county, running thence directly south to Princeton: From Princeton a direct southeast erly course is taken, crossing the Cotton Belt either at Harlow or at Thornton, where short branch line runs to the southeast; thence in slightly southeasterly course to Hampton, the county seat of Cal houn county, which at present has no railroad connection. At Hamp- ton the road will branch into two lines, one going directly south to Alexandria, La., and the other southeast to Vicksburg. On the latter the first town of importance will be Crossett, Bradley county, to the southeast of Hampton From Crossett the line will be run in a continued southeasterly direction across the state line into Louisiana, and thence to the west side of the river, opposite Vicksburg. The Alexandria branch will run direct ly south from Hampton through part of Calhoun and all of Union county, to the state line, thence southeast to Farmersville, Union parish, La, to Alexandria, passing through Union, Lincoln, Ouachita, Jackson, Grant parishes in Louis jana. The Malvern branch will leave that town in a southeasterly direction, crossing the old Wiscon- sin lumber road and passing through parts of Hot Spring, Grant and Dallas counties, connecting with the main lino probably before reaching Princeton, though the ar ticles do not specifically so state. The connection with Little Rock, according to the articles, is from Benton northeast twenty-three miles to Little Rock. This is desig- mated as a branch of the main line of the new road.
