FRANCHISE TAX.
The County will Get About ST..
900 from the Railroad.

A recent decision of the Court
of Appeals holds that the railroads
operatin! in a county must pay
local franchise tax to the county.
This question was raised through
an organized effort Of the county
attorneys two years ago, and in
wolves back taxes from 1896. Ex-
county attorney Kevil took an &C
tive interest in the matter before
his term of office expired and is
naturally very much gratifed over
the result. he estimates that
about $1,000 will be due Critten-
den county under the decision.
The Auditor will make certif-
cation of the franchise valuation
of the roads to the various coun-
ties and cities, and then the tax
will be collected.

Charged with Arson.

Ben Shelby, an old negro, was
given an examining trial in the
police court Friday. He is charg-
ed with arson. Several months
ago old Ben and Helen Snow, an
ancient colored woman, were mar
ried and trouble began, and their
welded life has been one round of
quarrels and fights. 1t is alleged
that on Sunday night, June Sth,
old Ben attempted to burn Hell
ems residence and cremate his
better half-or worst half, accord
ing to Ben's way of thinking
while she was slumbering. The
attempt was unsuccessful and Ben
was arrested. He will be held to
await the action of the grand jury
Ben claims that he Is innocent,
but the charges against him are
pretty strong and he seems TO be
in the middle of bad fix.
