Horse Thief On HIS Travels.

A stranger hired two horses and a
buggy last Sunday from LiverYman
Peter Wolf, at Mercersburg, Pa, and
drove off with them. He failed to
return, and the liveryman started on
a hunt and has since had lively
chase. The stranger, who gave the
name of Stout at one place and Dun
can at another, was traced to Mar
tinsburg, where he put up at the Val
lev Hotel. He left on Monday with
out paying his board bill, and headed
for Kearneysville, where he stopped
for dinner and had his horses cared
for, again failing to pay his bill. He
met on the road Tom Campbell, the
well-known horse dealer, and offered
to trade buggies. A bargain was
struck AMI the vehicles were ex-
changed, Mr.. Campbell giving him $40
boot. In the meantime Wolf was
pretty close on the scent, and was tel
ephoning all over this section. Mr..
Campbell got word of the strangers
rascality, and he followed him tor a
long distance, but was unable to over.
take him. The fellow was next heard
of at Berryville, and as officers have
been communicated with in all the
valley towns it is quite likely he will
be eventually caught.

Williams to be Tried Next Week.

George W. Williams, the negro ac-
cused of assaulting Miss Laura Knode,
is to be tried in Charles Town next
Tuesday, August 2 A special grand
Jury has been summoned for that day,
owing, we understand, to the fear that
there might be technical objection
to the indictment found against him
by the former special grand jury. 1t
is reported that two of the most prom
inent criminal lawyers in the county
will defend Williams.
II is understood that Williams, who
is now in the State Penitentiary at
Moundsville, will be brought back un-
der heavy guard Of the State mill
tia. 1t is likely that be will arrive
several days before the court convenes,
in order that his counsel may prepare
for his defense. Sheriff Billmyer left
Shepherdstown on Monday, presuma-
bly, to go to Charleston to arrange
with Governor White for the military
escort. 1t is believed by some per-
sons that an effort will be made to
lynch Williams, Notwithstanding the
fact that apparently the excitement
over the matter has died down.

Needle in Body Quarter of centur,

That a needle can be carried in
ones body for twenty-five years. dur
ing this time working its way from
place to place and cause no great
pain, seems strange. but such was the
experience of George Flippin. a citi-
zen of Little Rock While doing some
sewing one day the mother of Flippfn
stuck her needle in lounge and went
into another room to get some thread.
Before her return young Flippin came
in from school end lay down on the
lounge. He felt a slight pain in the
side, but paid no attention to il. think
ing he had merely received a scratch.
Mrs. Flippin did not find the needle.
and she supposed it had gotten lost
Two years later young Flippin felt a
pain In his skin over the stomach. as
II something was sticking him. and.
taking off his clothes. he found a hard
substance about an inch and a half
long, and which seemed 10 be a needle
or pin there. 1t did not come near
the surface, and could be felt for a
year Then it disappeared and he for
got all about it Until few nights ago,
Mr. Flippin was undressing for bed
and. in pulling off his undershirt. felt
II catch against something ABOUT the
left nipple. He stepped to the light
and, to his surprise, saw something
shining. and, looking more closely.
saw it was the head of needle 1t
was the work of but moment to
catch the needle and pull it out No
blood lowed from the wound. as the
needle lay lengthwise, just undeg the
skin. with the point toward the neck.
He suffered no i'll effects from the ex-
nerience.

FORREST CITY, ARK" FRIDAY AFTERNOON JANUARY 2e 1904
Saloon Keeper Indicted.

The Pulaski county grand jury, in
its faal report after a session of forty
seven days, referred to the effort of
the officers to suppress gambling as
follows:
We commend with pleasure, and in
the highest terms, the vigorous action
of this honorable court in causing the
sheriff of Pulaski county to seize the
gambling devices of certain gambling
houses in this city in June, and again
in October, 1903. These seizures and
subsequent burnings by the sheriff,
we believe, have resulted Temporal
rily, and we hope permanently, in
breaking up public gambling in Lit
tie Rock We made examination OF
the gambling cases called to our at.
tentiGn. but got little information on
the subject of actual participation in
gambling. We had before us the city
and county officers, whose duty it is
to ferret out and suppress crimes of
this sort, but discovered that they
were the same innocent and artless
witnesses which other grand juries
have found them. In a general way,
they had a vague impression that pub
lie gambling was going on, but hal
never been able to secure any def
mite information on the subject. We
have returned five indictments against
as many different parties, believed to
be guilty of conducting public gamb-
ling houses, as evidenced by the seiz-
ures Of the sheriff, heretofore re-
ferred to. We call the attention of
! the court to the fact that in all these
cases. the gambling houses were run
/ in the same building and in connec-
/ tion with a saloon, thus constituting
double offense There does not
seem to be any necessary connection
/ between the saloon business and
crime, and ii saloon is run in viola
/ ton of law, it must be for the reason
/ that the proprietor wishes to have t
i so. The privilege of running a sa-
j loon must be obtained by public con-
sent, and the saloonkeeper is requir-
ed to pay a special tax therefor. This
t7 - uS' 'to0o HcC 'Ic SidHlilS VI
a saloon license carry with it an i'm
piled mutual agreement that such sa-
loon shall be conducted in harmony
with the laws governing such mat
ters? These laws prohibit gambling
in same buildings with saloons, the
sale OF liquor on Sunday, and to mi
nors at all times. If an investiga-
ton discloses the fact, as we are
sure it will, that any of the parties
indicted have been running their sa-
looms in violation of these laws con
stantly for several years, will not this
court be warranted in canceling the
licenses of such inveterate and chron-
ic offenders against law and good
morals? ?"

in Hampstead county in 1889. and
