After some per suasion he consented to give up his gun and to go quietly with the officers After his confinement in the jail he was quiet, and would only say that he was justified in killing his father and would produce 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 condi- tion of the man at the time The murdered man was good citizen, and his son had caused him a great deal Of trouble from drinking

New Rock IsIand Roada.

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 Cleburne county The description of the Little Rock and Southern, the larger route, as con- tained in the articles of incorporation, is as follows: Making connection with the Choctaw between Benton and the Iron Mountain crossing, near Traskwood, Saline county, running thence directly south to Princeton. From Princeton direct southeasterly course is taken, crossing the Cotton Belt either at Harlow or at Thorn. ton, where short branch line runs to the southeast; thence in slight ly SoutheaSterly course to Hampton the county seat of Calhoun county, which at present has no railroad con- nection. At Hampton the road will branch into two lines, one going direct ly 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 Alex andria branch will run directly south from Hampton through part of Cal. houn and all of Union county, to the state line, thence southeast to Farm ersyille, Union parish, La, to Alex andria, passing through Union, Lin coin. Ouachita, Jackson, Grant par ishes in Louisiana. The Malvern branch will leave that town in a south easterly direction, crossing the old Wisconsin lumber road and passing through parts of Hot Spring. Grant and Dallas counties, connecting with the main line probably before reach. ing Princeton. though the articles do not specifically so state. The con nection with Little Rock, according to the articles, is from Benton northeast twenty-three miles to Little Rock This is designated as a branch of the main line of the new road

Statute of Limitation Defined.

A case of general interest was re- gently decided by the state supreme court relating to the statute of linn itation. 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 damages against the street car company, alleging that it negligently allowed it's guy wire to hang so near the ground that person passing on the sidewalk would come in contact herewith. She recovered a judgment 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 de- fendant interposed a plea of statute of limitation of one year. The circuit judge sustained this plea From this ruling Enrich appealed to the supreme court which held that the lower court errer in ruling that the one-year stat ute of limitation does not apply to negligence.

matters in the Treasury Department,
IT has been an open secret that NAT
