COUNTER CLAIMS IN KEUNE-
WEBER SUIT DENIED BY
COURT --CASE WILL GO
TO TRIAL,

The demurrer in the case of Keune
against Weber was overruled by a de-
cision rendered by Judge Kirwan in
circnit court last week on the ground
that the counter claim is insufficient
cause for action The case will be tried
at the January term of the court The
case was called for trial at the June
term but was carried over on the de
murrer The suit was brought by Chas
keune, Jr., and Gustave keune against
Peter Weber for the purpose of restrain
ing the latter from interfering with the
stream feeding the mill dam at Silver
Lake The mill and dam owned by the
plaintiffs is fed by stream that ira
verses land owned by Weber The
action was brought against the latter
on the grounds that he had diverted the
stream and thus damaged the business
of the plaintiffs by reducing the supply
of water. The defense filed demurrer,
declaring the tlume and dam nuisance
and trying to Justify Webers action in
interfering with the stream 1t is alleged
by the plaintiffs that, when they pur
chased the property from Charles
Spindler in 1894 the rights to the dam
and the stream feeding it We're conveyed
to them with the property and that
Weber was aware of this fact when he
bought Silver Lake three years ago.
The court holds that there is nothing on
which the demurrer can be sustained
inasmuch rs the counter claim does not
deny the fact that the rights above re
ferred to were conveyed to the plain
tilfs.

CRIMl iAl LAW
Some Important Decisions by United
 States Supreme Court.
of Government 70 Take appeni In Criminal Cases.

Washington, June 1.-Tn the United States supreme court opinions were handed down Tuesday in three cases in- voiving questions pertaining 10 admin istration of criminal law in the Phil ippine islands. The points raised were as to the right of the government to take appeal in criminal cases, and of an accused person to demand trial ty jury.
 The first Case was that of Kepner vs. the United Statse Kepne- prac- ticed law in Manila and was charged with embezzlsment. The court of the first instance acquitted him, but the supreme court of the islands convicted him The case was then appealed to the supreme court ofthe United States by kepner, on the ground that by the process of appeal he was put twice m jeopardy, contrary to the constitution of tho United States.
 Tho opinion by Justice Day sustained this view. reversing the decision Of the Philippine supreme court. Justices Holmes. White ani McKenna united in oRe dissenting opinion. while Justice Brown delivered q separate dissenting opinion.
 The case of Mendazona vs the Unit cd States. involving the same question. was similarly rendered in favor of Men, daZona
 Another Philippine case vas that of Dorr & O'Brien. in which was raised the right of defendant in a criminal case to demand trial by jury in the Philippines in the absence of congress s1onal enactment granting such right. The court held that the constitution does not carry right without legislative enactment Dorr & O'Brien are the editors of newspaper published in Manila. and were prosecuted for crim- inal libel
 The chief justice and Justices Brewer and Peekham united in al opinion concurring in this result, but stating different grounds Justice Harlan de- livered vigorous dissenting opinion. saying that the opinion is contrary to the established system of the United States, and declaring the opinion of the court 10 De in effect m amendment to the constitution of the United States

FORREST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON JUNE3 1904
Elisha Davis Sentenced,

In passing sentence upon Elisha Davis, the negro convicted at Pine Blum of assaulting a little girl. Judge Grace said: "I do not suppose there IS anything l could say that would be or any effect on you, for the crime you have committed shows that you are lost to all sense of honor and decency
 I wish it were possible to reach all or the members of your race and teach them the lesson that has been taught you that such crimes are to be pun. ished by swift, sure death. There is no nation under the sun, be it civil ized or savage, that does not punish such crimes with death. There never has been a nation so base and savage that It did not so punish such crimes It Is looked upon with horror any where. Ii is you. and brutes like you who do more damage in the United States than any others. You keep down your people, for, while the crime cannot be charged to your race the feeling against the race must ex. ist in the breasts of all white men until the crimes cease. The charac ter of a few negroes like you causes the feeling between the races in the south and causes the sectional feeling that exists between north and south l am glad to say that there are only a lew of your race who would do such a thing but this few affects the whole material prosperity of the negro race
 T think the people of Jefferson coun " have given an exhibition of strength Of character in dealing with your case which is truly commendable It is not always that a rapist is al lowed to go to trial. and your living to be tried is because you have been in the care of men of the highest type of manhood and Christian character.
