Says Veto is Void.

Attorney General Murphy holds that the numerous acts vetoed by Gov. Davis are valid. Speaking of the legality of these acts, the attor- ney general says: "The presonta- ton having occurred in twenty le- gal days after the adjournment of the legislature-that is, within twenty days in which work might lawfully be performed-his alleged reason for yetoing is no reason at all, in a legal sense. This prinei- pie Is recognized by the supreme court of our state, and is not the subject of even plausible controver- sv. The inconsistency of the action of the governor in approving some of the bills and yetoing others, all presented at the same time, IS man ifest. He had no right to approve unless he had the right to veto; if he vetoed a part of them because he had honestly regarded them as not presented in time he should have vetoed all If he approved some because he favored them and vetoed others because he did not favor them he should, had t been possi- ble, have been candid enough to say so, and have stated his objection to those he disapproved. If he had the right b approve any of them he had the right to approve all. He did have the right, and his reason for disapproyal CT veto being legal ly false, the bills falling under his displeasure become laws to the same extent and with the same effect as if he had formally approved them. If called on by the secretary of state l shall advise him to have all the acts thus returned to him printed as valid laws, and shall also advise him to have the propos- cd constitutional amendment. as the constitution requires. submitted for ratification or rejection to the electors at the next general elee- ton"

Town Deserted by Negroes.

The prophecy of half demented negroes that Pine Bluff was to be wiped out by flood and a cyclone May % caused thousands of the eolored population of that place to sacrifice their property for whatcv- CT price they could get. These people left the community by the hundreds on every train, many of them selling all their worldly possessions for just enough to pay their railroad fare to another point. The woman who caused the superstitious people to become so alarmed was placed under arrest.

Horse Thieves in the Tolls.

Two alleged horse thieves. giving the names of A. J. MeColley and John Patterson, were captured by Sheriff Grandstatf and a posse of citizens near WaIdron. McColley, who is about 20 years of age, has confessed to being implicated in the theft of three horses near Green wood, and acknowledges other crimes, but said S1e was led to com init these acts by older men. Pat terson, who is a whisky pedder and horse trader, is about g years of age. He talks but little, but the officers are positive he is a member of a regularly organized gang of thieves that have been operating ex- tensiyely in the western part of the state for over a year.

Old Man Hanged.

Ed Shut, a pioneer citizen of Tcxarkana and an Confederate soldier, was hanged May 29 for the murder of J. c. Whitener one year ago. Shut and Whittener were at one time partners in business. Shut had some imaginary grievance against Whittener and without a word of warning stepped up to him and shot him down. On account of the prominence of both parties the case attracted unusual interest. As a last resort the wife of the con- demned man, accompanied by Col. r. M Henry, one of the oldest at torneys of Texarkana, went to Aus tin and presented petition signed by the best citizens of the county, praying that the life of the old man be spared The governor, how ever, refused to interfere, and the sentence of the court was carried out Twenty-Five years ago Ed Shut was one of the most promi- nent business men of Texarkana, and for years thereafter prospered in the hardware and undertaking business. \ man of a joyial dis position, he made friends of all classes, but as years rolled by he grew careless in business affairs. As his money slipped away, so it was with his friends of prosperous days, and the too free indulgence in the cup soon wiped out all his means While under the influence of liquor, and breeding over his financial reyerses, he killed the man with whom he was in business for years. Doubtless the deed was prompted from d diseased brain leading him to the belief that the man he murdered had wronged him. At the trial no justification was shown by the defendant, and despite the efforts of influential citizens, a once useful and greatly beloved citizen passed away at the hands of the hangman.
