TWO QUEER INCIDENTS
rlan UnConsciously Walks off Train
and Little Girl Attemps 1t

Very peculiar actions on the part of
two passengers on the Cotton Belt
have been indulged in within the
past few days. Sunday night
passenger who had been
sleeping for quite time suddenly
arose from his sleep, ran to the front
end of the car, pessed through the
door and jumped off the train. The
people who saw ii were dumbfounded
at the strange performance. and as
the train was nearing Wynne it was
not stopped until it had reached the
depot. a trainman hurried back to
see what had become of the man who
made the leap, expecting to find him
a corpse. but the trainman was met
by the passenger coming toward the
train. His face was badly bruised ON
one side the skin all being torn off.
His clothing was badly damaged. The
man said that he thought that he was

JONES NOT COMING
Legislature Ballots on SenatOrsl1ip
on January 20

sion the vote will be cast up and the
result declared by the presiding officer
of the Joint session, the president of
the senate.
Information from sources deemed
reliable is that Senator James X
Jones will not come here from Wash
ington prior to the voting in the legis-
lature upon the senatorship. At the
same time it appears that Senator
Jones name will be presented and
that he expects to receive each vote
instructed for him, Notwithstanding
that the number of Jones-instructed
votes comprise minority, There are
no indications OF any inclination on
the part of Senator Jones or his
friends to reopen the senatorial strug-
gle, for as far as can be seen the SEN
ator has no personal representative
on the ground and no headquarters
open, added to which is the further
and significant piece of news, the ac-
curacy of which seems undeniable,
that the senator will not journey hith-
er from the national capital to re-
vive the contest which was passed up
on by the Democratic voters at the
primaries on March 80 last. 1t is ap-
parent. though. that the senator de-
sires to see the balloting proceed with
his name in the list.
There are 1875 senators and repre-
sentatives and the majority on joint
ballot is 68. Governor Clarke will
probably receive 4, Senator Jones Sc
and votes will be cast by the Repub
lican representatives from Newton and
Searcy counties.

SHOT AT "CoON"
Trying to Steal Ride on Cotton Bel,
Train.

Robert Hays, colored, porter on
No. Cotton Belt train going south on
Saturday evening, was arrested and
taken from the train Saturday night
at Stamps. Hays was trying to dis
lodge a "coon" that persisted in rid
ding on the train free and was be-
tween the tender of the engine and the
first coach. The coon got contrary
and Hays was compelled to fire a
shot to protect himself. There has
been a great deal Of trouble lately
in that section of the country by ne
groes stealing rides on the train, and
no doubt this will help to stop the
mean negro who would rather kill a
trainman than pay his fare.

After the second Tuesday after or
ganiZation the legislature will proceed
for the term of six years. beginning
March ! next. says the Little Rock
Gazette. 1t is altogether improbable
that the balloting will not take place
until Tuesday, January 27. owing to
the poor prospects Of the house effect
ing organization the first day. Upon the
election OF speaker chief clerk and
scrgeatn alarms that body will be le-
@aly organized. Indications are that
a speaker will be elected on the first
ballot, and it is certain that the cleo
ton of chief clerk will be a brief pro-
cedure inasmuch as Steel Hays has
no opposition for that place When
1t comes to a choice for sergeant-at t
arms, however, the house will probab.
ly be tied up and an election may
not be reached until Tuesday. There
are eighteen candidates for the posi-
ton.
1t seems safe to calculate, therefore,
that each branch will ballot on United
States senator January o.

CATCHING Fish With Mirrors.

In France a novel method Of catch
ing fish is being tested by anglers. A
tiny mirror is attached to the line nea'
the baited hook. The assumption is
that fish, when it sees itself in the
mirror, will conclude that some other
fish is trying to carry off the bait, and
will make haste to secure the tempt
ing morsel for itself. the result being
that it will speedily be caught on the
relentless hook. From experiments
which have been made there seems
to be some foundation for this as
sumption. At any rate, some anglers
say that they catch more fish when
they use the little mirror than they
ever caught before.
