RUCKER GOES TO PEN.
Young School Teacher Who Has Been Subject Of So Much Talk Goes
 to Prison Alone.

Rogers, Dec. 21- Wallace Buck CT, of.this county, was convicted at Fayetteville last year upon a charge of betraying Miss Davis, young school teacher, of Pea Ridge, under promise of mar riage. He was tried at Fayette- vile on a change of venue, claim ing that he could not get justice before a Benton county jury, and after being convicted by the circuit court of Washington county, was granted an appeal to the supreme court of the state. The opinion of the Washington county court was affirmed by the supreme court, and Fucker is now in the state penitentiary at Little Rock, his term being fixed at five years. Fuckers depar- ture from this county en route to the penitentiary was made alone and is the most remarkable in- cident ever accorded a prisoner in this state. When he boarded the train at Rogers he had pur- chased his own transportation and was unaccompanied by either officer or friends, carrying his own commitment, to be delivered in person to the warden of the penitentiary.
 There is number of petitions being circulated asking the gov ernor to pardon Fucker, and are being literally signed by the people of this county.

DE GRASSE DISAPPEARS.
Tragedian Who Has Often Attempted Shakespearean Roles Leaves His
 Company Destitute.

Rogers, Dec. 21.-Jcseph De- Grasse and his company, which was organized in New York last August, filled their engagement at the Rogers opera house last Friday night, presenting 'Riche- lieu," Sir Bulwer Lytton's mas ter-piece. There was nothing cheap about the production which was one worthy of attention of the most critical playgoer. They played, however, to a very small house here and went busted. " Joseph DeGrasse, who was owner and proprietor of the company, seeing that misfortune was dawning upon his troupe and left them here without wife on the early northbound passenger Saturday morning without giving the other members any warning. He was indebted to several mem bers of the troupe and left them here without money. The com- pany had been playing to small houses for some time, barely making travelling expenses, and evidently seeing a chance to rid himself oI his indebtedness to the troupe, took this opportunity to return to New York. When they learned that their proprie- tor, who was the principal actor, had given them the dodge, mem- bers of the company were furious with anger and if they come across him soon it will not be a very healthy meeting for Joseph DeGrasse.

Stealing From Railroad Cars.

Constable w. B. Carouthers has succeeded in running down some thefts from box cars on the Rock Island tracks near the New port Grocer Company. Meat, sugar and sardines were the main items missing.
 Ike Harris was arrested Wed- nesday and he implicated Henry Green and Ollie Berry in his con- fession, and both are now in jail.
 The trio were given a prelimi- nary trial Friday morning before Squire Guy Smith and bound over to the grand jury. Harris and Berry pleaded guilty and their bonds were fixed at $500, while Green, who denies his guilt, must give $2,000 bail to secure personal freedom. It is safe to say all will remain in jail. Ike Harris has not been out of the penitentiary very long, having served out a years sentence for just such thievery.

Wants Craighead County.

It has been whispered around freely today among friends of Governor Davis that he has changed his mind and that he will speak in this county. It will be remembered that he said some time ago that he had no hope of carrying the county, and even ii he carried it, it would be stolen from him, hence no use for him to make a speech here.
 But it is said now that he will come to this county and will make at least three speeches, though the dates have not yet been announced.
 It is also said that the speeches to be made in this county by the governor will have some of the characteristics of sensation, 1t being the purpose to indulge Tn some very personal talk. Jones boro Times Enterprise.

IUSTlFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Coroner's Inquest Jury So Regards hllI' ing of Convict Charles St. Clair
 al County Farm.

Coroner Frank Harrison, of Tuckerman, held an inquest over the remains of Charles St. Clair, the white convict shot while as- saulting a guard in an attempt to escape, Thursday afternoon at the scene of the killing. Wit nesses were sworn and the story of the attempted escape was re- told before a jury of residents of the Island. Upon the conclu- sion of this hearing, verdict of Unsuitable homicide" upon the part of Tom Green was immedi- ately reached.
 Sam Clark, the negro confed- crate, was still alive Thursday night, but the doctors say they have no hope of his recovery.
 The assaulted guard, Frank Collins, was found in precari- ous condition, but will recover. He had been knocked insensible when the negro saved his life, ana does not remember to have heard the shots.

Burnt Child Feared Not Fire.

The little child of MT. and Mrs. Charles True, of Batesville, fell into the fire at the family resi- dence and was quite painfully burned a few days ago. The child fell into the fire a short time since and was so badly burned that it was thought it would be necessary to amputate a leg, but the limb was saved, and the child was just getting able to walk around when the second accident occurred.

DiSAVOWED CHECK FOR S553.
It Had Been Cashed, But litigant Ayers
 lie Did Not Sign it.

Pine Bluff, Dec. 20.-A pecu- liar and interesting case was tried in Circuit Court yesterday, D. w. Campbell, who formerly lived in Lincoln county, but is now a resident of Texas, sued the Cotton Belt Saving and Trust Company for $553, which amount the bank claims to have paid up- on a check signed by the plain tiff.
 About December last year the plaintiff deposited about $9O0 with the Cotton Belt Saving and Trust Company. In February he went to Texas, but stopped a short while at Texarkana on February II. A check of that date was presented to the Cotton Belt bank for $553 through a Texarkana bank, andit was paid. The plaintiff denies giving such a check and is suing to recover this amount. The check was made payable to J. c. Ward, but no one of that name has been found although detectives search ed for him for several months. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of the check and interest.

SANTA CLAUS COULD
SEE NO FUN IN IT.
COIOred St. Nick, Had a Hot Time
and Says He Don't Believe in
Lies Anyway.

RICHF1ELD, Dec. 26:-Upon the
fiery altar of realism one set OF
Christmas presents and one set of
Santa Claus regalia were sacrif1ced
Sunday night. Santa Claus himself
was saved with great difficulty, and
ne said later.
"Dis Santa Claus bizness am a
snare an a delusion, ennyhow, an
him who is playin' wifi lies and SIGH
things am bound ter be defiled."
Philemon 'Rastus Mercer is an
lged negro. His beard is long and
white, so that all he has to do to
represent Il 'cullud Sanity" is to put
on the regulation turban and a long
coat. For years has Philemon 'Ras-
tus Mercer played this role at his
home, and he was considered n OF
the most realistic Joy bringers that
ever came down the chimney.
Gathered in the home of Philemon
'Rastus Mercer on Christmas night
we're all his relatives, down to the
asst generation. Because of his age,
his wife, Venus %Euphemia Mercer,
tried to persuade him to come in
through the door this time. But he
put away this dig at realism with in
%1ignation.
In the big room of his house were
Ill of the little friends and relatives
Of the old negro when he started
down the chimney.
He could hear the children talk
ing, for they didn't know at what
time Santa Claus was due, and he
tumbled down from the top of the
,LsA1,,. II hft Dhi1an,nn ID u CT nc
Mercer s%quarely on the head. II
didn't hurt him any to speak of, but
1t drove him down into the fireplace
in an inglorious cloud of SCOT.
The children heard a yell in the
chimney. They saw a black and
burning shape come snorting from
the fireplace. This didn't look like
any Santa Cluas they had eve heard
of, and so they raced screaming from
the house. Part of the gifts of this
Santa Cluas were spoiled by his fall.
There were few to receive what did
escape, and they had no time.
Philemon 'Rastus Mercer had in
sisted that a fire, however, however
small it be, should be kept going in
the fireplace TO keep up the illusion
Many a time in his descent he had
stepped gracefully over the little
blaze. But when he descended sun
day night he came in a heap, so that
his whiskers caught fire. They sci
fire to his clothing. Some of the
perishable presents caught fire. Fall
ing pieces set fire to the carpet.
NO mo- Santa Claus biZness fel

when a doctor had dressed his slight
wounds Sunday night. at am
