\ SERIOUS BLUNDER.

The safety and integrity of any
kind of government, municipal or
otherwise, says the Arkansas Dem.
ocrat, is insured by the attention
given it by the press, and the GER.
tainty that if improper acts are
committed the taxpayers will be
apprised thereof. The interests of
the taxpayers who make these
governments possible are safe.
guarded through the watchfulness
of the newspapers, and when
abuses of power are within the
range of possibility, an alarm is
given that often prevents serious
mistakes. Throttle the press and
you destroy the steam gauge that
protects the entire machinery from
disaster. Suppress all criticism
and you leave those who are in.
clined to override the law free
hand to do as they please, and in
nine cases out of ten the rights of
people will suffer. The assault
upon the editor of North Side
journal by the chief of police Of
Argenta, because the aforesaid ed.
itor had dared to eritioise the city
administration, is not only O mis-.
take upon the part Of an officer
who had pledged himself to uphold
the law, but it is one of these
movements that lead to q serious
state of affairs, We have no inten.
ton of arguing the justification of
Editor Fleming's criticisms. They
may or may not have been deserv-
ed. There are very few newspaper
men who will not correct a mis-
take if their attention is called to
it. Ii the facts concerning any
matter had been mlsrepresented,
Chief Pratt could have asked a cor.
rection with better effect. The
very fact that he assaulted the
editor, when he admits himself that
no individual criticism had been
made, is evidence of his excessive
zeal and Of reckless spirit that
should be CORE cted in any officer.

The Dallas Beau Monde say. the
Texas Damage Suit Industry, to
which attention has been called in
tho press of the state, continues to
flourish. On May d, in the city
of Houston, the Damage Suffers"
became unusually busy, and in one
afternoon filed suits for alleged
damages in sums aggregatin & $685..
995. The railroads suffered most
from this onslaught, but both the
Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny and local corporation were
included in the list OF defe ndants.
There are doubtless just claims of
this character, but it is uDreasona.
bile to suppose that the great ma.
iority Of them have cause for exis.
tence other than the desire to get
something for nothing. Men who
revel in the role Of plaintiff in per-
sonal injury suits, and lawyers who
work up cases of this kind, are
said to play on the creaulity of the
public, and the railroads suffer be.
cause of it. When a transportation
company or any other corporation
is negligent under the LAW it should
be made to stand the consequences.
But those who perpetrate fraud in
the prosecution of these claims,
snd men who get hurt because they
may improve their bank accounts,
as men have done, should be treat.
ed as other imposters usual Y are.
The figures showing the amount
paid out yearly By Texas railroads
in settlement of personal injury
would indicate the presence of i'm.
posters in force. There never was
s railroad that did not help mate.
rally TO build up and improve the
territory along its line. Unseru-
pulous men who defraud them
should receive the Same considera.
ton given to those who defraud
individuals.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JULY. 1904:

owners Of drays. and Tor that

see that their horses or mules are
not abused by their drivers. Scarce
ly day goes by shat we do not
see the negro drivers OF certain
drays driving almost in . ran as
they go, after hard days work,
TO the barn. A negro was recently
whipped with a buggy whip by
Mr.. T. f. Prewo,t for abnsing one
OF the livery horses; and while we
do not usually endorse measures OF
this kind, we ere inclined 10 think
that Mr.. Prewett just about did the
proper thing, and these others
would probably profit by little
experience of the same kind. 1t is
shame to drive these horses and
mules as hard as they can CO.. after
they have worked so hard and
faithfully the whole day through,
and the drivers should be at first
cautioned, and then taught les.
son if they persist in abusing these
dumb creatures.

funds, and becaus the citizens re.
fuse to interest themselves in the
matter.
This latter ia a sad commentary,
but 1T is the truth, and not only SO,
but mass meeting was called for
last Monday night, to further con.
slider the question of schools or no
schools, and ways and means to
have schools, and there was not q

in such trivial regard that they will
not take tie little trouble to come
QUITO a meeting where the education
of their chilnren is concerned and
a decision is to be finally reached
whether or not free schools are to
be abandoned in your city,
The committee appointed at a
former meeting to solicit popular
subs criptions to a free school fund,
reported that they had started out
to accomplish the desired result,
but that they had met with such
dlscouragements that they asked
10 be discharged, and stated that
in their judgment the amount de-
sired to be raised could not be
raised in that manner.
Upon this status Of the case be.
ing Understood, the committee was
discharged and the meeting ad.
journed.'
subsequently the school board
met on Tuesday night and again
on Wednesday night to further
consider the matter, and the final
outcome of their deliberations was
that they could not have any free
schools in Forrest City next school
year, and that they would furnish
the building, etc, to teachers who
will be selected later, and who will
conduct a pay school.
1t is not yet too late to remedy
this great harm to the town and

OLD CORN COB PIPE.
IT SAVED THE LIFE OF A WE'LL
 KNOWN PRosPECToR.
Unique Incident in the Life of "Dia- mondfield Davis," a Western Cowboy Who Say Soon
 Be a Millionaire.

This Is story of how an old cob pipe played an important part In saving the life of man convicted of murder, and how the saving of the life may bring large fortune to another man.
 Dawn in the New Goldf1eld mining dis trict in Nevada is camp called Diamon- field. It did not receive it's name from the fact that diamonds have been dis covered there, but from the circum- stance that the best claims in the camp were located by ''Diamonfleld Jack Davis, who, according to late reports, iA likely soon to be a multi-millionaire
 Back in the early and middle sos ''Diamondfeld Jack was trusted range rider In the employ of the Sparks-Her- roid Cattle company in Idaho. In those days there was much friction between the cattle men and the sheep men, and on the range covered by "Diamondfleld tack" 1t is said that "dead line'' had been established, which the sheep men were forbidden to cross with theil fiocks.
 When, therefore, on February 16 1896, John O. Wilson, sheep herder and his companion, man named Cum mings, were found dead in their camp on disputed ground. evidently murdered and it was further discovered that "Dia- monfield Jack" and his partner, Jacl Gleason, had been in that locality about the time the killing took.p place, they were promptly arrested for the crime.
 Jack Davis was placed on trial first and it was one of the most closely con tested murder trials in the history oi Idaho. Gov. Sparks, who believed i'm. plicity in the innocence of his employees retained A. L. Perky and Hawley 6 Pucket, of Boise, to defend Davis, while Judge o. w. Powers, of Salt Lake City and Judge Borah, of Boise, were em' ployed to assist in the prosecution Every inch of the ground was fought over carefully, the evidence was all cir cumstantial and the defendant came
