pealed.

The introduction and favorable consideration of several game laws in the present general assembly has greatly alarmed the sportsmen of Memphis. Members of hunting and fishing clubs whose reservations are located in this state, and who have considerable money tied up in land and clubhouses, are fearful that tho proposed legislation will deprive them of their accustomed sport, as well as force them to dispose of their property at sacrifice. The measure that is causing the most worriment was introduced several days ago by Representative DeRos- sett. of St. Francis county. To the Memphians the objectionable fea- lures of the bill are the sections which prohibit any nonresident of the state of Arkansas from hunting in this state, as we'll as the prohibi- ton of the exportation of game from the state. A controversy has been pending for some time between members of fishing club at Mud Lake and the citizens of St. Francis county, and the matter is now in lit igation. fingered at being refused permission to fish in the lake, citi- zens of Forrest City have secured a title from the St. Francis levee board and are attempting to oust the Memphians.

Poly Carlisle Convicted.

After deliberating forty-eight hours a Carroll countyjury last week decided that Poly Carlisle was guilty of robbing the Springdale bank De cember 19, 1901. The case was tried in Eureka Springs on change of venue. This was the second trial of the case, and such was the local interest manifested in the case that the high school was dismissed in or der that the pupils might listen to the arguments of the attorneys On the day the bank was robbed man got off a train at Rogers, hired 9 team from livery stable and drove to Springdale. Hitching his teari, the lone occupant entered the bank, and with a drawn revolver compefl- ed the cashier to hand over the sum of $5,500. Hastily entering the buggy. the bold robber made for the mountains, but so closely was he pursued that he was forced to aban- don the conveyance and take the brush. All the money was found in the trail of the bandit, with the exception of about $500. Several hours after the robbery Carlisle joined the posse in pursuit, but was subsequently, arrested as the robber. The first trial resulted in hung jury. The principal witness for the prosecution, who hired the buggy to the supposed robber, was drowned in an attempt to ford a stream while on his way to Eureka Springs to testify at the last trial. Carlisle was given three years in the peni- tentiary, but the case will be ap- pealed.
