BROCK BROCKMAN
 SENT TO PEN.

Cotton Plant, Ark, Sept. 2.- Circuit court, which has been in session here since Monday, ad- journed yesterday. The grand jury returned thirty-fve indict- ments, eleven for felonies and the balance for misdemeanors.
 The case of the state vs. T. A. Smith for murder was continue d until next term, and bail per- mitted in the sum of $3,0O0, which was readily given.
 Brock Brockman, colored, was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year for COW stealing. Leila Clark, a 13-year-old girl of Wini- lee, a small village ten miles north of here, was brought here today to apear before the grand jury to indict Ernest Chaney, her school teacher, for carnal abuse. It is said that feeling is running high in that place, and many threats of lynching have been made. Clancy has left for parts unknown.

the noon hour, and as he began his remarks MT. Jones said, We are going to have the last say in this matter, judge, speaking to MT. Brundidge,. If we have to talk until night. "
 "All right" said MT. Brun- didge, ''you can talk until night, but want to bring out one more pol.lt."
 MT. Brundidge only talked a few minutes and the argument for the defense was closed by MT. Stayton.
 The court at once ruled in fa- vor of the defense, and the case was set for trial Wednesday, Sept 21. A number of ladies were in the audience and clapped their hands, showing their sym pathy with the defendant. Rob- erts' attorneys have ordered a number of witnesses to be sub- poenaed, one of them being from Jonesboro.
 Doctor Lightle was not present at the Judsonia hearing, though his case was reset for Saturday morning before Justice Harlin.
 On granting the change of venue for the trial of John V. Roberts, the Searcy correspond ent of the Little Rock Democrat says, the court was correct. The sentiment against him there is stronger and more bitter than against any of the other prlncl- pals in the case. The frequent demonstrations of the crowd while Assistant Prosecuting At- torney s. Brundidge was talking clearly showed that among the entire throng there were very few who sympathized with the former:mayor of this little town, and a man who, prior to the in- stit,,tion of the charge of grave robbery against him, was the nenocratic nominee for the house of representatives from this county.

PROMPT SETTLEMENT
 OF INSURANCE CLAIM.

Weldon, Ark, July 30, 1904. To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in a storm. The company very promptly put it back at large expense in better condition and stronger than it was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Company for it's promptness in replacing our church to our en- tire satisfaction, and we recom- mend the company to those who have houses to insure.

ROBERTS SECURES
 CONTINUANCE.
Defense Wins Point in That the Trial of Dr. Lightle Will Thus Come First Rob- erts' Case Set for
 September 21.

OepCoIIlD0r Ll.
 Judsonia, Sept. 2.-Ex-May, r John V. Roberts of Searcy was not tried today on the charge of grate-rpbbery in connection with the Lightle insurance fraud case. This was the day set for hi trial, but the defense asked for and obtained a continuance until Wednesday, September 21, in order to allow ample time to have witnesses on hand. Dr. R. G. Lightle's trial, also on the charge of grave robbery, will come up tomorrow morning in Searcy and interest, temporarily drawn from that place, will be centered there again.
 The defense filed a motion on the start requiring the prosecu- tion to give bond for costs. This was not resisted and was imme- diately complied with, Congress- man s. Brundidge of Searcy, w. c. Bright and s. M. Powell of Little Rock becoming sureties. The attorneys for the state then made a vigorous fight for an i'm mediate trial. The attorneys for the defense insisted that no spe- cific charge had been alleged against the defendant until yes- terday in Justice Harlin's court, when the affidavit was amended so as to specify the charge. The question of setting the trial for today was then discussed by the attorneys on each side.
 The state is ready for trial in
 lis case," said Mir. Brundidge.
 ~r'We are not ready yet, your
 bpor, and the state was not , schy Y either until the defense and fired the prosecution to give > nnd, "said Judge Stuckey, for tn. Aefense. "They have been bounding the defendant with their counsel, paid by the insur- ance companies, and no longer ago than last night MT. Fletcher and Mir. Cantrell gave the de- fense notice that they were going to try this case in your court to- day at Il o'clock.
 Mir. Fletcher-No, l didn't say any such thing; I said it would be called here this morning. ( MT. Jones Yes you did, too, and can prove it by Stayton and Stuckey.
 Mir. Fletcher was standing and addressing his words direct to MT. Jones, who continued his ar gument, saying he was not trifling with the court, as was alleged by the states attorneys.
 Mir. Andrews, the prosecuting attorney, came in this morning from Cotton Plant, where he has been detained in circuit court. He spoke in behalf of the state, saying justice was being tamper- ed with by postponing this case from time to time. The state of Arkansas had been outraged Tn this matter, and if>the defendant was not guilty of the charge he should have a speedy trial and acquittal.
 
 MT. Brundidge was not preju- diced against the defendant, but wanted the states interest guard ed in this matter, and thought the defendant had sufficient time to have his witnesses here, as he was arrested on August 23 anC pad ample time to prepare fol lis defense.
 MT. Stayton cited the court t( fctlons of the law regarding the
