NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.
WOOD LEAVES cHocrAw.

Col. Henry Wood has resigned as
vice president of the Choctaw, Okla
homa & Gulf railroad and will on July 1
sever his connection with that sys-
tenn, after service since the first mile
of the road was built. Col. Wood
gives his reason for leaving the sys-
tenn that his home is in Philadelphia
and that he does not want to go to
Chicago or live in Little Rock. He
has notified President Leeds that he
must be relieved by July 1, as he
wants to rest, and last night he die
tated the following statement:
"The Philadelphia offices of the Choc-
taw have been moved to Chicago, and
the officials located there have all left
or will in few days leave the COM
pany's service. / have given no at
tention to the attitude of the pnrchas-
ers of the Choctaw to that property.
Till the Rock Island officials obtain a
practical knowledge of the Choctaw
property it will be difficult for them
to arrive at any definite conclusions,
and any arrangements now made will
probably be tentative. The Rock Is
land company owns the property alb
solutely, and could do with it as
it seems best. My own opinion is
that the sooner it is absorbed into the
Rock Island system, the better it will
be for the road and the country
through which it passes"

HOOKS JURY HUNG.
Discharged After Several Days. Dead
lock BY Judge Cooper Stood Six
For Conviction, Six For Ac-
quittal.

Memphis, June 20.-The jury in the
case of Mrs. Georgia Emma Hooks,
charged with poisoning her husband,
Cerro Gordo Hooks, was today dis
charged by Judge Cooper of the Grim
inal court, after deadlock of several
days.
The OK which has been on trial for
nearly a month, has attracted wide
attention and developed several local
sensations.
Cerro Gordo Hooks, well known
business man, died last October. At
ter the body had been embalmed and
inferred persistent rumors gained
currency that his death was from
other than natural causes. About two
weeks after Hooks burial the author
tiles instructed DR.. VIM. Krause, a
well-known chemist, to exhume the
body and conduct an autopsy. The
chemist reported that he had found
enough arsenic and ground glass in the
stomach and other organs to cause
death. Mrs. Hooks, who is wealthy
resident of this city, was indicted for
murder by the grand jury and placed
under arrest. The trial was called
nearly month ago and the case has
been vigorously contested on both
sides.
DR.. Krause, while on the with ess
stand, swore that he had also ex-
humed the body of the defendants
son who died about two years ago and
that arsenic and ground glass were
also found in his stomach. This tes-
timony caused a sensation and it's ad-
mission to the jury was stubbornly
fought by counsel for the defense, but
Judge Cooper ruled that the evidence
was competent and it was admitted.
1t is reliably reported that the jury
stood six for acquittal and six for
conviction.
Mrs. Hooks is widely known in this
part of the state and lives in one of
the most palatial residences in Mem
phis. A peculiar incident of the trial
is that DR.. Krause is now very low in
the hospital, suffering with pernicious
malarial fever, said to have been con-
tracted while performing the autopsy
on the remains of Mrs. Hooks son.

Hon. John FL. Keel of Newport, who
has represented Jackson county in the
lower branch of the legislature two
terms and is the Democratic nominee
for re- election, is in Little Rock. To
a Gazette reporter Mr.. Keel said he
had decided not to be a candidate for
speaker at the next session. When
asked his views as to what matters
will probably be uppermost in the
next legislature, he said:
SIN my opinion anti trust legislation
will be the most important subject be-
fore the general assembly. An affec-
tive anti trust law will be enacted.
Next, the location and erection of a
new state capitol will demand atten-
ton. I think ample provision will be
made for carrying the work to COM
pletion and that the site will be
definitely fixed. In my Judgment the
present board of capitol commission
ers should go ahead and submit their
plans and invite bids under the pres
ent law The state is badly in need of
new state capitol and the people are
demanding it's erection. | believe it
can be built under the provisions of
the present law. am told we have
fund of over 100000 now in the
treasury for that purpose, and / see
no reason why the commissioners
should delay the matter longer.
Increasing the power of the rail-
road commission will come third in
Importance, think. The commission
up to date has been of Nittle value to
the people because of limited power.
The subject of a reform school will
receive due attention. There will be
many other matters of great import
ance before the legislature, but these,
in my opinion, will be considered
first"

WANTED IN L LAWRENCE.
Charges OF Forgery Accomplishing
Against Roger A. Suit, Now
Held In Memphis.

Charges appear to be piling up
against Roger A. Suit, the former Ar
kansan, who is being held III Memphis
on charge of forgery. The Com
mercial Appeal says that on Thursday
morning John L. Eady of Hardy, Ark,
telegraphed Chief Richards that he
had warrant for Suit charging the
same offense for which he was ar
rested in Memphis. Later in the day
the mail brought two letters referring
to Suit. One was from O. I. Burns,
an attorney at-law of Black Rock,
Ark, and the other from B. A. Coff-
man, proprietor of the Penny store at
Portia, Ark, in the same county.
Mr.. Burns says that he cashed check
for So for Suit, drawn on the Jackson
County Bank fat Newport, Arkansas,
where Suit claimed he had about $40
on deposit. Mr. Coffman cashed
check for $40.
Suit is still in Jail. He will be held
by the Memphis authorities, as he is
charged with forgery and attempting
to pass forged papers, although he is
wanted at several points in Arkansas.

MAY NOT GO TO WALNUT RIDGE

A report comes from Hoxie to the
effect that the Iron Mountain shops
will not go to Walnut Ridge as was at
first contemplated. The rumor has it
that the people of Hoxie want the
shops and have given the railroad
people sufficient Inducements to bring
them to that place. If this rumor is
true Walnut Ridge will be ruined as a
town and most of it's business will go
to Hoxie. 1t is regretable if this is
so. because this is one of the oldest
towns in the state and one of the
prettiest places for a town in the

WATCn FOR
 HAMMOND
HE SKIPPED OUT WITH OVER
 NINETY DOLLARS.
Was Last Seen at Naeo Wednesday, Solicited for the Review at Naeo
 and Cananea-His Description. ..

H. Hammond, for some time con- nected with the Review as a solicitor, has gone to parts unknown, leaving behind him several who have lost con fidence in his honesty. The last seen of him was on Wednesday of this week, when he took the train at Naco for Benson.
 While at Cananea lately Hammond put himself out to take S90.6O from Lampson & Carr, dealers in grocerie 5 and confectionery, promising to turn 1t over at Naco to the Copper Queen branch store, where it was to settle an account. Instead of doing this he appropriated the money to his own use.
 W. B. Lampson was here yesterday and gave out the particulars of the transacton. He says that the money was given to Hammond last Thursday at Cananea. Hammond came to Bis bee, arriving here Saturday afternoon. He returned to Naco Monday and se nt a telegram to Cananea saying that he haG attended to the business for Lamp son X Carr.
 "Wednesday Hammond took the train for Benson, but which way he went from there is not now known. He was under contract with the Review to proceed to Cananea, and did not notify the paper of his change of mind.
 While at Cananea Hammond is re ported to have rolled them high He went up against the roulette wheel at Naco, and made several sIII bets. in other ways he deported himself as a sport who did not care how much it cost to be good fellow.
 Hammond is a man sixty years old and walks with quick step. He has a gray moustache and hair of the same color. He is glib taIner, going into great details when making an ex- planation. While here he was suffec ing with lame ankle. which caused him to limp. He impresses one as al ways being full of business.

Sections, While They Are

The quail shooting season in
Kentucky opens tomorrow, In some
localities birds are said to be plen-
tiful, while in other sections they
are reported quite scarce.
The game law extends from No
vember Is to the first of the year
and during this period quail can be
shot and exposed Tor sale, but. after
January l it is as much an offense
to sell bird as it is 20 shoot one
out of season. The only law, out
side of the limit period for hunting,
now on the statute books of Ken
lucky is the nonresident law.
This is copy of the Indiana Jaw,
and requires every citizen of anoth-
er state who hunts in kentucky to
psy'a license Of $3.50 or become
subject to a fine for every offense,
Similar laws exist at present in
most of the states of the country.
