GRAY HAIRED MAN TRIED FOR MURDER Albert TidweII Charged With
 Death of Sam Garner HE IS OVER 80 YEARS OLD Shows Effect of Long Confinement In the County JaII-crlme Was Com
 mitted at PInckney City
 Last August.
HE IS OVER 80 YEARS OLD

Albert TidwelI, a white man probably over 80 years of age, is on trial before 8 jury in the first division of the criminal court, Judge Samuel E. Greene presiding charged with murder in the first degree 1t being alleged that he slew his son-in- law, Sam Gardner a blacksmith resid- ing near Pinckney City. last August. His son, Will Tidwell. Is in the county jail, also charged with the crime. Both of the cases were set for trial yesterday. but when the case was ready to proceed, the attorney for the defendant. John W. Alt man, asked for severance. which was granted. Both were indicted by the grand jury at the September term last year, and since that time they have been confined In the county jail.
 The trial of Tidwell will probably con- sume several days. It is said that his daughter. Mrs. Garner, is to be one of the most important witnesses for the state in the trial of both her father and of her brother.
 Few Spectators Tn Court.
 There were very few spectators in the courtroom yesterday when the first wit ness was put on the stand. The defend ants attorney asked that Will Tidwell might be allowed to remain in the court room to advise. but the court ruled that TO exception could be made in the case. and the prisoner was ordered to be carried back to the county jail.
 l While tho witnesses testifying against him were on the stand Tidwell sat mo- tionless, without betraying the least sign of fear of the final outcome of the trial. The wife and daughter of Will Tidwell, who were with him before he was re- turned to the county jail, remained in the court room to hear the evidence against their father-in-law and grand father, respectively.
 Tidwell has long gray locks. and he shows the results of his long confinement in the county jail by the deep lines in his face.
 The jury trying the case Is composed of l the following:
 The Jury.
 Jesse w Brown, w. M. Malone, J. T Aubrey, W. L. Murdock, Patrick H. Silk s. M Miles. T. N. McGrady, Fletcher Wooley. c. T. Boon, L. J. Morris. s. P Massey and Will Kline.
 The Rev. o. H. Holmes was the first witness called by the state. He testified that he reached the home of the deceased a short while after he died, and that he prepared the body for burial. He said there were six wounds on the body of Garner, which were evidently made from sharp instrument of some kind. He said there was a wound on the left arm evil dently caused from set of human teeth. He said that he was the pastor of tine | family of the deceased.
 The plea of the defendant is self-de- fense. The hearing of the testimony will l be resumed this morning.

THE ELECTION.
Indications Are That Gov. Davis is
-
Reelected BY Greatly
Reduced Majority.

The exact figures of the election
held in Arkansas will not be
available for several days. 1t
appears now that Gov. Davis has
been reelected by greatly re-
duced majority. Two years ago
Davis majority amounted to AZ,
900. His majority this year ls
estimated as low az 25, 900 and as
high as 10000. If it reaches 40,
600, this is a great loss, for it
must be taken into consideration
that at least 10000 more votes
were polled in the state Monday
than in 1902.
1t is thought that Myers has
carried nine counties. The re-
publicars have made rapid gains
and are consequently in a jubi-
liant mood.
The two proposed amendments
to the state constitution have un.
doubtedly been rejected.

], w. LAMAN.


Death has invaded our ranks
and taken from us a brother.
There is a vacancy in our midst,
a voice in our council has been
silenced and sadness has found
a place in our hearts. Slender
is the cord that ties a human life
to earth. Strong is the bond
that closely binds a spirit to our
souls. At any moment may
come the call that surely must be
answered-that summons, the
common fate of all.
Bro. John William Lamar, the
son of Geo. W. and Mary E. La
man, was born May 18th 1856,
near Cave City, Ark. In the
year 1875, he professed religion
and joined the Methodist church,
siece which he has affiliated and
been a strong support in its
maintenance. On December
the Goth, 1875, he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Ann Brewer, and
to them seven children were born,
six Of whom are living: Chas.
W., Lee R., Miss Mollie, VIM F.,
Coy and John O. ~
Bro. Lamar took the Initiatory
degree of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows in August 1903,

taken i'll of heart trouble which
caused his death, August the 8,
1904, at Batesville, Arkansas.
Bro. Lamar ever proved him.
self a true and worthy member
TO the order Of Odd Fellowship,
and the sad bereavement has
caused US to reflect on the many
virtues Of our deceased brother
a loyal citizen, a strong supporter
of the church, enterprising in the
upbuilding of his country and
town, a friend of education, a
devoted husband and father.
His going is the occasion OF
universal regret. His place will
be hard to fill. Let US emulate
| his virtues that our lives may be
useful and our living a benefit to
humanity.
Whereas: 1t has pleased the
Great Architect to take Bro. La
man from our midst, it is just
that a fitting recognition of his
many virtues be had
Therefore be IL resolved by the
Cave City Lodge No. 238 of the

with humble submission to the
will of the Most High, we do not
the less mourn the loss of our
brother.
Resolved: That the heartfelt
sympathy of their loss be ex-
tended to his family in their sad
bereavement, and let US as
brothers forget not the widow
and the orphan and ever give to
them our best counsel of truth
and virtue, and that these resoy

ant she would take off the first joint and watch
to see what odor the ant failed to recognize
which It had previously known Two joints
were removed from another, three from third.

with this joint that it scents its own track
This track 1t pursues with greater certainty

this scent through obstacles OF relatively great
thickness. With the fourth joint it recognized
the young of its own species. The last joint

not recognize the odor. she put into a nest of
ants which she had had for three years two
queens from their old wild nest. Although these
ants had been shut off from all intercourse with
any other ants from their old home colony
throughout this period, they Indicated that they
remembered the odOr of their old home queen
by receiving her into full fellowship immedi-
ately. Miss Fielde made many other expert
ments Indicating that ants could remember the
odors they had once been familiar with.
Miss Fielde has q happy family" of ants
In one particular nest she has four different
kinds of one species, of which some are much
larger than the others and fully capable of liter
