The Need OF Reform School.

Cocaine Charley" dope" fiend
twelve years Of age, made an attempt
to burn his way out of the Hot
Springs Jail by setting fire to the
bedding Jailor Spear was absent at
dinner and but for the fact that the
fire was discovered and the Jail door
broken down, Charley would have
smothered to death. The youth has
been kept in close confinement FOR
the past two months to keep him
away from the drug. When at liberty
he is great source of annoyance
around the hotels and when his
plaintive appeals for money is turn
ed down, he retaliates by throwing
rocks. AS there is no state institu-
ton for the care OF such unrortu-
mates, the authorities have been COM
PEELED to keep him within the walls
of the Jail.

Given Damages for Death of Husband.

The United States court of appeals,
sitting in Denver, has affirmed a case
of general interest that was appealed
from this state. 1t is the case of
George and Neal Rutherford, father
and son. against Ellen James, Will
liam c. and Russell Foster. The suit
was begun by Mrs. Foster, a widow
and her minor children to recover
damages from the Rutherfords for the
alleged killing of Mrs. Fosters hus-
band in independence county in Feb
raury. 1901, and was tried in the
United States circuit court for the
Eastern district of Arkansas at Bates
Vile. The suit was based upon Lord
Campbells act. which was enacted in
the state of Arkansas early in the his
tory Of the state. 1t provided that
when one man wrongfully kills an
other man he shall be held RESPONSE
bic by damages by the relatives of the
deceased. The defense sought to es-
cape the responsibility by showing
that some time previous to the fatal
assault George Rutherford had de-
clined to have any further contest
with the deceased, but the trouble was
taken up by the son, who is said to
have killed Foster. The lower court
rendered verdict in favor of the wild
ow and children. and this was affirmed
by the court of appeals.
