KATY MAY RUN
INTO FORT SMITH.

Fort Smith, Aug. 2.-Col. John De- gan of Huntington yesterday began taking up options on about 5000 acres of land north of Sugar Loaf mountain and west of Montreal, and between the land purchased by Franklin Bache for the old Choctaw interest and ter ritory line.
 The options were taken about sixty days ago in the name of MT. Halliday of South McAlester, I. T., who is identified with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road.
 The purchase of this large amount of land is regarded here as an indica- ton that the rumors that the M., K. & T. contemplated placing Fort Smith on it's map have good foundation.
 Farmers owning land optioned say they receive an excellent price for their holdings, and that in their local ity it is believed new railroad is to pass through the tracts purchased.

DUL PLAY SUSPECTED.

Whis w. s. Armstrong, road over -s3srs z. Mineral townrhip, was going to hiswork at an early hour Saturday morning he found the dead body of Alex Todd lying near the roadside about ten miles north of little Rock. Examination pointed to the fact that foul play had been committed and Mir. Armstrong hastened to Sullivan's store, a few miles north of the city, and telephoned the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Chichester and the coroner left for the scene to investigate.
 The deceased was at work on the road Friday, and was last seen alive about 5 o'clock, when the men quit work. He was in excellent health. Later in the evening several shots were heard in the vicinity, but nothing was thought of it as they were thought to have been fired by some hunter. The body was found within three hundred yards of the place where Todd quit work.
 Todd was pro minent farmer of the community about thirty five years old. A few years ago he was the chief witness against Dick Forbes and other members of what was known among the officers as the Brushy Is- land gang, of whom Dick Forbes, lRufe Lee and John Lee served terms in the penitentiary for cowstealing. N He was indicted with Forbes, but the Kcase against him was nolle pressed on Rendition that he turn state's evi-
 dence.

GOVERNORS COMMISSION
 WANTS AN INJUNCTION
Many Contractors After Capitol Job Governors Private Secretary Will Apply to Supreme Court to
 Prevent Action by Legis-
 lature's Commission.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2.-Capitol Commissioner Mcfarland states that there are about twenty of the most prominent contractors of the United States figuring on the contract for the completion of the State capitol build ing and the indications are that there will be quite spirited contest for the contract to complete the building above the foundation, which is to be let August 12.
 Charley Jacobson, private secretary to the governor, says that it is the purpose to bring suit at once in the Supreme Court to secure an injunc- tiontc prevent the commission elected by ale legislature from awarding the contract for the completion of the pulling. The action decided Friday ill fsvor of the legislature commission, by .hdge Winfield Of Pulaski Circuit Cout, was quo warranto proceeding instituted by the attorney general for the State against the members of the commission appointed by Gov. Davis, to dtermine by what authority they proposed to assume any of the rights and lrerogatives of the commission. The legislative commission was not parts to the proceeding in any way exceIt inferentially, and the custer of the pvernor's alleged commission by Judg Winfield places them outside the ple of the law until the case at issueean be passed upon by the Su- prem Court on it's merits, which cannd be before late next fall.
 Attrneys say that the filing by the governors commission of a cross complint asking that the legislative commission be enjoined was most unhead-of proceeding in quo war ranto ction, but they did not insist on it's beig thrown out of court, as there was n6desire to try the suit upon such tchnicalities.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
HAS s. & D. A. CHANGED HANDS?

HAS S. x D. A. CHANGED HANDSY
 Persons coming from Searcy report that a rumor is current there that the Iron Mountain has secured or is about to secure control of the Searcy & Des Arc railroad, a Choctaw property. The report is that it was taken over in part payment for the Arkansas Midland, which the Rock Island Frisco Choctaw system is said to have secured from the Missouri Pacific. The Searcy & Des Arc road, originally an independent line, is a valuable feeder of the Choctaw, and is now being extended from Des Arc to De Vall's Bluff. The rumors, however, lack official confirmation and are given only as such.
 From another source it is learned that the Iron Mountain will take over the Searcy & Des Arc road and extend it to a connection with the new White River line of the Missouri Pacific. This will give more direct connec- tion with Memphis. It is also learned in corroboration of this report that the Choctaw has abandoned all work on the Des Arc DeVall's Bluff exten- sion.-Little Rock Democrat

HELENA PAVING DELAYED.

Helena, Aug. 2.-A scarcity of ma terial makes it necessary to delay the paving of Helena until later. Possibly next spring is as soon as it can be be- gun. In the meantime the board of improvement will endeavor to locate material sufficient for the work. Dur ing the winter high water in the Mis- sissippi this can be conveyed to the city by means of barges at almost half the cost of train rates. By this delay the city will save probably s8,OO0, but will have to put up with the mud for another year.
