days ago on business, looking as big

Massey entered the Office where
Brown was and commenced swearing
and abusing Brown about 50. SO bill

him the local man attended to that,
and all he knew was he reported it
uncollected, that he, Brown, had no
feeling about it. Massey continued
and Brown ordered him from the of

arose from his seat and went to Mas

his face. Massey clinched and com

one breaking Browns neck and caus-
ing instant death.

MESSENGERS GRANTED
 SLIGHT INCREASE

Superintendent G. F. Johnson of the Pacific Express Company at Little Rock has announced that an order was issued from the headquarters of the company in St. Louis on December 9 in- creasing the pay of the employees of the company, effective Dec. 1. This order provides for the in crease in the pay of forty-four messengers, the list including all of the first and second grade messengers in the Arkansas divi- sion. They are to receive an in- crease of $5 a month, the old scale being from $55 to $80. This increase is what the employees de- manded when they went out on strike, and they, therefore, win their contentious after the strike had been settled, with the ex- ception of the recognition of the union.

SCAB MESSENGER
 STOLE DIAMONDS.
Pacific Express Company Must Stand Responsible For Theft of Man Who Supplanted
 Striker.

Little Rock, Dec. IT. News has been received by Division Superintendent G. F. Johnson of the arrest and conviction of a former Pacific Express Company employe to the theft of a package containing $4,0O0 worth of dia- monds last October. The theft occurred on the run between St. Louis and Texarkana.
 The mans name is Charles Freeman, alias Fred Neff, and he was among the men put on to man the express cars during the
 cent strike, he being emplyed as messengers assistant on the Iron Mountain road. One night he found among the express mat ter a package which contained diamonds from. a St. Louis firm to a person in Dallas, Texas. He stuck the package in his pocket, and as affairs were more or less disarranged at that time the theft of the package was not no- ticed. Freeman made the return trip to St. Louis and resigned. He immediately went to Chicago, where he set to work to dispose of the diamonds. When arrested he had converted most of them intoscash. Last Friday night he made a confession of the theft to the Chicago police.
 Freeman was employed by the St. Louis office and was not known in Little Rock, except that he passed through here on the train.

BOARD REFUSES
 RIGHT-OF-WAY.

Little Rock, Dec. 13. At the meeting of the board of peniten- tiary commissioners yesterday morning a petition from the Var her, Cumnins $ Eastern railroad for right of way through the states convict farm in Lincoln county was rejected.
 It was stated by a member of the board after the meeting that the power of the board to grant the desired right of way was doubtful, and that another con- sideration which entered into the matter was the fact that the state has not yet paid for the farm, hence it is not the property of the state as yet.
 The board transacted otherwise business of only a routine nature. Matters connected with the con- vict farm were discussed infor- mally and the reports concerning the conditions on the plantation and the crop yield were altogeth- CT satisfactory, showing that the results will be in accord with the published statements.
 The board will have ample funds on hand to meet the pay- ment of $50,000 due in January on the purchase price of the con- vict farm.

MRS. LANE ACQUITTED.
Jury Returned Verdict for De- fendant in Less Than Half Hour Large Number of
 Witnesses.

Little Rock, Dec. 16. Mrs. Ruth Lane was yesterday ac- quilted by jury in the first di- vision of Pulaski circuit court of the charge of assault to kill. The jury was out less than half an hour and it is said the vote for acquittal was unanimous.
 This is the last chapter in a case which has been before the public in various forms for two months, and which has taken many unexpected turns.
 The matter was seemingly end- ed when the grand jury, which had been Investigating the case, returned an indictment against Mrs. Lane charging her with as- sault to kill. She was released on bond and her trial set for last Monday. Twenty-nine witnesses were examined and the case went to the jury at 5 o'clock yester- day afternoon.
 The testimony informed the public for the first time as to the details of the shooting. Dr. White went to Mrs. Lanes home to renonstrate with her about remarks she was alleged to have made about his wife, and a Wordy argument ensued, in the course of which Dr. White was shot in the hip and 9 bullet from his pistol sang by Mrs. Lane. Ac- cording to Mrs. Lane both had pistols out and she could not swear which fired first, though she was of the opinion that Dr. White did.
 Dr. White claimed his pistol was discharged after he left the room and staggered out on the porch. A fiattened bullet which was claimed to have come from Dr. Whites pistol, and which was picked up on the floor of Mrs. Lanes room, was weighed in the court room and found to be too heavy for a 32-caliber bull let, and too light for a 38. Dr. Whites pistol carried a 32-caliber bullet and Mrs. Lanes a 38-cali- Der.
 The case was argued at length, the speeches beginning at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and concluding at 3 in the afternoon. Mrs. Lane was represented by Judge Frank T. Vaughan of this city and Hon. Gustave Jones of Newport. Prosecuting Attorney J. H. Hamiter and Deputy Lewis Rhoton represented the state.

Huge Swindle in Railroad Tickets Dis.

New Orleans. The passenger de-

leans what promises to prove huge
swindle and forgery of railroad
tickets. A coupon of a ticket pur-
porting to have been issued by the
Louisiana and Southern Railroad
Company has been turned into New
Orleans for Identification. There is
no such road as the Louisiana and
Southern, but the manipulators Of
the ticket took advantage of the
name OF the Louisiana Southern and
sold to travellers coupon tickets over
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific. Investigations have been set
on foot and it is probable that scalp
ers in the Middle and Western ter
ritory will be involved. The ticket
bears the signature of J. NJ. Davis,
general passenger and ticket agent.
