FOUND FRAUD IN
 ELECTION RETURNS.

Harrison, Sept. 13.-Quite a sensation was created here when the temperance people asked the election commissioners to recount the ballots on the license ques- tion. The saloon people protest ed against it, but the commits sioners counted the ballots of Harrison township and found a discrepancy of 62, which makes this county dry by a majority of 50 instead of wet by a majority of 12, as heretofore reported. There is possibility of a special grand jury to indict the election judges.

SON OF GOVERNOR
 CRITICALLY ILL.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 13.- Jeff, the 8-year-old son of Gov. Jeff Davis, was operated on Fri day morning for appendicitis, and is in a critical condition.
 The operation was performed at St. Vincent's Infirmary by Dr. J. A. Dibrell, and it is said to have been delayed too long. The governor was on a hunting trip in the Territory, and telegrams failed to reach him, so that he knew nothing of his sons illness until he returned Sunday, since which time he has scarcely left his bedside.

BUTTON COMPANY
 SUES ENGINE MAKERS.

Wednesday morning was con- sumed in the circuit court by a hearing of the evidence in the suit of the Valley Button Com- pany versus the Fairbanks-Morse Engine Company for damages al- legged to be due by reason of an overconsumption of gasoline to the value of $160 by the engine sold to the plaintiffs by said company.
 Upon a ruling of the court that the damages were not to be de- termined by the amount of gaso- line thus wasted, the plaintiffs S amended their petition to ask for this amount of damages as the difference between the cost of a six-horse power engine originally desired and the twelve-horse power engine sold by the defend- ant company to the plaintiffs upon alleged misrepresentation and guarantee as to the amount of gasoline it would consume.

Will Clements, a convict who was sent up from Miller county to serve one year in the peniten- tiary, made his escape last Thursday, and, not feeling con- tent with his freedom thus gained, came back to the pen Sunday morning. From the time he made his escape until he vol untarily returned nothing was known of his whereabouts. The officers had begun a search, but had been unsuccessful in their efforts to find a clue. The man did not give any reasons for returning, but came back and ap- piled for admission.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
 DECLARED ELECTED.
Defeated Primary Candidate For County Judge Wins in
 General Election,

Foreman, Sept. Excite ment in political circles here fared upito the raging point at the news that the official count at Ashdown gave this Uittle River) county to w. D. Campbell for county and probate judge over F. B. 'Arnett, the present incumbent, by a majority of 27 votes, supplemental to the an- nouncement that Harry H.. Myers Republican, had received Ill more votes than Jeff Davis (Democrat) for governor.
 Campbell was defeated in the primary of March 25 and Judge Arnett was declared the regular nominee of the Democratic par ty. However, when election commissioners, said to be friend. ly to Ashdown, were appointed the Republicans, Independents and disgruntled Democrats form. ed a coalition with a view, it is claimed, to the defeat of Judge Arnett in the general election Among other things charged is that they appointed nine negro judges to help hold the election It is given out here that the con test, which will surely follow cannot fail of sensational devel opments.

DROUTHY CONDITIONS
 HAVE INTENSIFIED
Condition of Arkansas Crops as Reported by Weather Bureau For Week Ending
 Monday.

The temperature was about normal the first of the week with fairly warm days and moderately cool nights; during the latter part of the week the day tenn peratures were high, while the nights were reasonable. There was an almost total absence of rain and the drouthy conditions have intensified. Cotton is she'd ding badly in all sections; in some portions it is opening premature ly; picking has begun and is gen. eral in some localities. Early corn made a good crop; the late is suffering from lack of mois- ture and will make a short crop. Considerable hay and fodder of good quality were saved during the week. Sweet potatoes are generally a good crop; the late planted Irish potatoes are suffer- ing for moisture and in some sections will be failure. Very little fall blowing has been done. as the ground is too hard. Ap- ples and peaches are still drop ping and only fair crops of me- dium quality are indicated.

|DRY CITIES IN DRY COUNTIES.
Murphy Renders Opinion That No Saloon Can Be Licensed In a County That Has
 Gone Wet.

The impression appears to have revailed in some places that a ty in a county in which a ma- rity of all the votes cast at the

POINTS OUT A FLAW
DanieIFish Shows a Weakness
i'm Primary Law

1.-THE man who wants to vote for two
candidates for the judgeship in Hen
nepin county this fall had better quit
voting when he has put crosses after
his favorites,'' said Daniel Fish, chair
man of the statute revision commits
sion at the state capitol yesterday.
1.-The primary election law on the
Minnesota statute books is responsible
for many complications, but one of the
most prominent is the situation in
Hennepin county, where this fall four
judges of the district court are to be
elected
Suppose a voter has one or two
men of the four in mind whom he
wants to see placed on the bench. He
will vote for them, of course, but he
would better cease right there, for the
Republicans will nominate four and the
Democrats four, and if he votes for
others than his favorites then there is
the danger of these men beating out
the men whom he really wants to see
on the bench. Then there is the COM
pilcatlon as to a non-partiSan bench.
Two of the judges whose terms expire
in January are Democrats and two are
Republicans, but a Democrat will nat
urally vote in the primaries for four
Democrats and a Republican for four
Republicans. He can't split his ballot,
and the primary election law prevents
MIN from assisting men whom he is
anxious to see nominated, for the NOM
lnation is naturally necessary pre-
liminary to the election. The primary
election law has good deal to answer
for, but this is one Of the most ag-
graVating cases in point"
Among the Democrats who are can
didates for the nomination are Judges
c. M. Pond and F. G. Brooks and w
ii. Nanderburgh, while the Republican,
field is much larger. w. r. Cray and
A. M. Harrison, judges now on the
bench, are candidates for reelection,
and among other as pirants for the Re
publican nomination are: Fred B.
Snyder, Charles S. Cairns, J. F. Dobbin,
c. G. Laybourn, HI. D. Dickinson and
Andrew Holt. The last two are judges
of the municipal court who seek pro-
motion to the district bench

MORE RURAL AGENTS
Force Nearly Doubled at St.
Paul Postoffice

The recent order of J. H. Bristow,
fourth assistant postmaster general,
head of the rural delivery system of
the United States, abolishing the West
ern division of the free delivery in
spection and assigning part of it,
territory and a number of it's rural
agents to the postoffice inspector in
charge at st. Paul became effective
yesterday.
The effect of the new order is to
more than double the number of rural
agents of the st. Paul office.
The Western district formerly en-
braced Minnesota, the two Dakotas,
Iowa and Nebraska. By the abolition
of the district and the change to the
plan OF having the rural agents report
TO the poStoffice inspector in charge at
st. Paul, there are added to the ST.
Paul district four more rural agents
and two clerks. The postoffice inspec-
tors Office at st. Paul formerly had
ten postoffice inspectors and two
clerks; the new order makes no re-
ductlon in the number of inspectors,
but brings to St. Paul eight rural
agents and two clerks, the entire force
to report to M. G.. Fosness, postoffice
Inspector in charge. 1t practically
doubles the field and Office forces at
illS
Under the new management, Iowa Is
assigned to the Missouri division and
Nebraska is put in charge of the post
office inspector in charge at Kansas
City. Minnesota and the two Dakotas
remain as the original territory of the
Western division, but are under the
direction of the st. Paul postoff1ce in
spection department.
The men assigned to st. Paul are all
classified as rural agents, new CLASH
fication recently made by the depart
ment, and succeeding rural free deliv-
cry inspectors and special agents.
They are: John L. Boylan, Gilbert
Gutterson, Charles T. Mason, E. B.
Norton, Robert II. Bloodgood, Dennis
Hamblin, Pryor l.. Neil and Thomas
E. Wall.
1t is proposed to secure adequate
office quarters in the federal building.
if possible, and correspondence between
Postoffice Inspector Fosness and Gus
todian John Peterson has been already
opened. 1t is possible, however, that
quarters may be furnished in the ola
postoffice building for the enlarged
postoffice inspection department and
the rural free delivery agents.

STRIKER ACCUSED OF
ASSAULTING TWO MEN
Frank Smith, Brickmaker, confesses
He Slapped TWO Non Union Workers

Frank Smith, one of the striking
briekmakers of the Twin City brick
yards, was arrested yesterday, charged
with assaulting two non-union men
who were working in the yards. The
compliments were K. Munday and J.
Volk. .st.is,,
IS The assault which is alleged to have
occurred Monday, on Joy avenue, near
the brick yards, is said to have re-
suited from a dispute between the
union man and the non-union men.
Munday and Volk applied for warrants
against Smith on Tuesday, and County
Attorney Kane issued them. Smith
was arraigned in the police court yes
terday and his case was continued until
today
Neither Munday nor Volk was seri-
ously injured, but Volk said he had
received a blow in the face which
caused his nose to bleed. Smith said
he merely slapped the men with his
open hand
