DEVIL TURNED MONK.
An Amusing Feature of a Fight Between Rival Saloon Men at Newport Judge Fulker-
 sons Answer.

The following pregnant para graph appears in the Gazette's report of the supreme courts proceedings of Saturday:
 No. 5793-R. T. Simmons ct al. vs. Frederick D. Fulkerson, judge; petition for mandamus. Passed for one week.
 The simple meaning of this paragraph, translated into lan- guage that people off the bench may understand, is that Bob Simmons and Pete Anderson, sa- loon men at Newport, who were fined and pardoned during the prohibition regime in that town, for selling liquor in violation of law, have invoked the same pro- hibition laws which Simmons, at least, so often violated to shut a rival saloonkeeper out of a more advantageous location in another ward, now that liquor may be openly sold in Newport, and have appealed to the supreme court for a mandamus to compel Judge Fulkerson to issue an order to that effect. Judge Fulkerson, who is not much impressed with the sincerely of this new tenn perance move, has made answer in a vein of patient submission, and the answer, which we pub- fish below, is a history of the era of blind tigers in Newport:
 The respondent (Judge Full kerson) admits all the allega- tions of the petition, so far as they relate to his actions in said matter, and says, further, that in January, 1900, he heard the appeal and made the order of prohibition in the case of Bord- we'll vs. bills, appealed and re- ported in the 69th Ark. Report, occupying nearly a weeks time of the court in the hearing. In March following he issued an or der of search and seizure in the case of state vs Kirkland liquor Co.,, which was tried at the July term of that year, occupying sev- eral days of said term, and made an order that the said liquor be destroyed. The case was appeal ed and is reported in the Fist Ark. Report. He issued an in junction against the coroner re straining him from interfering with the sheriff in his possession of such liquor by the coroner un.

destruction orders and caused to be destroyed at one time more than $1, 500 worth of whiskies, etc., and at another time more than four thousand bottles of beer. There were nearly two hundred convictions in the court over which he has the honor to preside of violating this prohibi- tory order by the sale of liquor and by running ''blind tigers. " In 1902 he heard two appeals from the county court to set aside prohibitory orders made by the county court in the territory embracing Newport, or the busi- ness district thereof. These cases occupied a weeks time, both of which are now pending in this court on appeal. He is- sued five writs of mandamus to officers of the inferior court growing out of these orders, heard writ of quo warranto, several writs of injunction, one of which was directed to the judge and clerk of the county court, which has also been be- fore this court, where it is now pending, and he issued several writs of certiorari in these mat ters.
 | All the above mentioned mat ters pertain only to the town of | Newport. There were other cases growing out of these or ders, but outside of the prohibi- tory district.
 There were hearings of all these orders and the aggregate amount of time taken in the court, in chambers and in fixing times for hearings has been something enormous. He has been consulted by attorneys, re- ceived letters, telegrams, talked over long distance telephones with them by day and called from his bed to talk by night with reference to time and de- tails of these many hearings. He has heard them in his dreams and in his feverish deleriums when sick. He has patiently heard arguments from all the lawyers in Jackson county and some from Pulaski, Independ- ence, White and Nevada coun- ties. Yes, from the president of the American Bar Association down to the latest fledgling, and until now has never complained.
 He has joined in the protest against the many pardons grow ing out of convictions of violating this prohibitory order. After the September election. when the last injunction expired, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he saw over the distant mountain top the dawn of a brighter day. But it was not to be. It was only mirage. The county court made orders trans ferring the licenses of some of the dealers, among them Doher- ty, from their inconvenient loca- tions over into the sacred ward.
 The temperance people made no objection, but the relators, rival saloon keepers in this pro- ceeding, both of whom ran un- blinded tigers and were many times convicted and pardoned during prohibition times, made defense and have appealed their case to the circuit court, then filed the affidavit for the search warrant and now bring this pro- ceeding.
 As the respondent had grave doubts, both as to the sincerity and credibility of the relators in this new temperance move, he has, in the language of the muleteer, baked in the harness, and as he looked back at the driver, amidst the awful flashing and SWaarinC StOnnpd ard ra-
