Judge Griggs was not elected as
one of the delegates at large to
the st. Louis convention and,
among other reasons, cites the
fact that the trading politicians
all wanted to do business with
him and his friends" It was a
little remarkable that all of the
trading politicians should have
been anxious to dicker with Mr..
Griggs. Why was it so?-Va1-

There once lived in Calhoun

propensity for horse trading was

Griggs' trading propensities are
well known and he went into this
campaign prepared to trade any
thing from his congressional
mantle down for votes, and that
accounts for a majority of those
cast for him in the convention.

OWNERS or TWINS" FINED

Williams & Purcell of Bates
vile, owners of the steamer Twins,
of that place. were fined $500 in
two cases at Memphis last Friday
on the charge of violating the
government regulations governing
navigation by running the boat
without a licensed engineer. v.
Purcell, one of the owners, was
also fined 500 for acting as en-
gineer without holding an engin-
eers's license. The fines were as
sessed by Surveyor of Customs
James Jetfreys.
The fines were assessed on
charges and evidence presented by
Capt. Hiram O. Brace, inspector
of hulls, and Capt. Henry c..
Waltz, inspector of boilers, both
of Memphis. The owners are
charged with having violated sec
ton 4463 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States, which APP
plies to all owners or managers of
steam vessels navigating waters of
the United States. The section of
the statute under which Mr.. Pur-
cell was fined is No. 443S, which
applies to all officers OF steam yes
sells on navigable waters of the
United States.
In the event the owners do not
see fit to pay the fine the boat may
be hbeled and sold. The latter ac-
ton, however, does not relieve
the owners of any prosecution
that may be brought against them.
In the present case the usual meth
Cd will be pursued, after which
the whole matter will be placed
before the next federal grand iu-
ry. If this body finds an indict-
ment a regular trial will be held,

OLD BIG BOTTOM
REMAINS INTACT
Judge Lindsey's Decision Last Mon
day Adverse to the Creation
of a New Township.

County Judge Lindsey rendered
his decision in the county court
last Monday in regard to the crea-
ton of new township from terri
tory now embraced in Big Bottom
and White River townships.
Certain parties at Magness had
petitioned the county court to Gre
ate the new township, and coun-
ter petitions were presented from
citizens of both Big Bottom and
White River. The case was
brought before the county court
at its June term, and was a hotly
contested one.
After receiving the petitions
and hearing the arguments pro
and con, the court took the case
under adyisement and set the first
day of the July term as the day
for rendering a decision in the
case.
The courts decision is that there
is no reason or cause for the crea-
ton of a new township. So the
prayers of the petitions for a new
township was not granted, and old
Big Bottom remains intact.

WILSON LAW KNOCKED OUT
Supreme Court of Arkansas Declared
the Wilson Anti-Gambling
Law Null and Void.

The supreme court of Arkansas
on last Saturday declared the cele-
brated Wilson anti-gambling act
null and void.
This is the act which was herald
ed at the time of its passage as the
most drastic and stringent upon
this subject that was ever enacted,
and such, without doubt, it was
intended by its author that it
should be.
But it was early found defec-
tive and very few conventions re-
suited from It's attempted enforce
ment.
The closing of the gambling
houses of Little Rock and other
cities in the state was not due to
the provisions of this act, but un-
der the old burning act, which
has been declared constitutional.
Mr.. Justice Battle of the SUI
preme court, delivered an opinion
declaring the act null and void,
because of some irregularity in the
manner in which it passed the
house and senate
