LIGHTLE-ROBERTS
 APPEAL CASES.
Grave Robbers In Attendance Upon White County Circuit Court - Lightle May
 Plead Guilty.

Searcy, Jan. IT. Echoes of the Lightle-Roberts grave rob- bery and life insurance sWindle charges were in evidence yester- day when White county circuit court convened in regular ses- sion, with Judge H. N. Hutton of Marianna presiding. Prose- cutting Attorney P. R. Andrews of Augusta is also here.
 It is not known yet what day the appeal cases of Lightle and Roberts will be taken up. It will be remembered that both men were tried in justices courts and convicted on charges of vio- lating the grave. Each took an appeal to the circuit court. It is not believed there will be any postponements.
 WILL DR. LIGHTLE PLEAD GUILTY
 Much interest was centered in a report today that Dr. R. G. Lightle, one of the principals in the celebrated cases, had decided to plead guilty. This report could not be confirmed by any statement from Dr. Lightle, but Roberts declared it to be mis- take. Dr. Lightle has arrived with his counsel, Judge Robert J. White of Paris.
 Roberts will be defended by Col. Geo. w. Murphy of Little Rock and Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport. This case will be a hard-fought legal battle, but the insurance people say that there is not the least doubt of a con- viction, while the defendants are confident of an acquittal.
 It was stated today that Pros- ecuting Attorney Andrews would file proceedings to disbar Roberts from further practicing in the state courts, but as yet no action has been taken in that direction.

JAKE GOLDMAN
 CHOSEN PRESIDENT.
Capt. w. A. Joyce Elected Vice President of First National Bank at Meeting of the
 Stockholders Tuesday.

At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the First National bank Tuesday afternoon MT. J. D. Goldman of St. Louis was elected president and Capt. w. A. Joyce vice president to fill the vacancies created by the deaths of the late T. J. Watson and G.. w. Hurley respectively.
 MT. Goldman is president of the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Com pany and a very wealthy citizen of St. Louis, while Capt. w. A.. Joyce is one of Newport's most prominent business men.
 w. A. Billingsley and F. A.. Jones were reelected cashier and assistant cashier and w. T. Parish was also made an assist ant cashier. This is quite an honor to so young a man, but he has shown capability of a high order and the directors felt that he was well worthy of the pro- motion.
 The business for the past six months showed the net earnings for that time to be $6, 800, which was added to the surplus, thus making that fund $21, 800.
 The showing was good one and highly satisfactory to the stockholders, who elected T. J.. Gregg and J. D. Goldman to the directorate of the institution.

ANOTHER DRUNKARD
 BUMPS INTO TRAIN.
T. J. Hester While Walking to Newport From Olyphant In toxicated Falls Against
 Passing Train.

T. J. Hester, who has been employed the past week at Oly- phant by the Pierce Lumber Company, was probably fatally injured Tuesday night while walking to Newport on the Iron Mountain track in an intoxicated condition by falling against passing freight train.
 He had lain down upon the track in his drunken stupor, but was noticed by the engineer on the local freight, No. "A, and re- moved by Conductor Lee Wal lace. He was later found and brought to Newport on No. 12, his head being horribly gashed, also his shoulder and one side of his body was badly bruised. It is thought that he must have been at the side of the track and reeled against a passing freight.
 A purse was made up and a surgeon secured to dress his wounds, but there is no hope for his life. He is resting on a cot in the baggage room of the de- pot.
 From papers on his person itis known that he has an 8-year-old daughter at Pine Bluff who is being reared by the McCauley family. The girl had written the father very sweet letter urging him not to take her away. The McCauleys refuse to have anything to do with the injured man.

KING BILL HAD
 BEEN ALTERED.
Logan Measure Passed by Sen- ate Has Been Withdrawn
 and Original King Bill \ Reintroduced.

A unexpected Snag mas been struck in-the passage of the anti trusNbill. Governor Davis has discovered that the bill fathered by himself and Senator Logan is not the original simon-pure and genuine cure of trust evils and domination prepared by Senator King.
 Upon the recommendation of his excellency, the measure pending before the house was withdrawn and the King bill re- introduced. In his message the governor says:
 Words, phrases and whole sentences had been omitted, among the omissions being the words in this state' which wbuld propose to make it apply tolall the states of the union, and probably the kingdoms of the Old World and the islands of the sea"
 KLGORE WANTS JEFF TO o. K.
 Senator Kilgore offered a reso- lution which created much amusement, requesting "Jefie old boy" to certify all measures he desired passed. The motion VI E only 0ffered as josh and ! inn gately Withdrawn. It was ] 3Wdfded as follows:
 Whereas, One antitrust bill having passed the Nsenate which we were assured was the simon pure article, and has proven to be no good' here Or elsewhere, therefore be it
 Resolved, That we request his excellency to authenticate the next bill sent us with some such assurance as follows: This is my antitrust bill, verbatim, ct literatim, ct punctuatim, without any understanding or agreement with a~y pool or trust here or elsewhere, and I so certify. -
 ROGERS WILL ENFORCE LAW.
 The attorney general, Robt. L.. Rogers, who has just announced himself as candidate for gov ernor, has stated that he will en- force the proposed law against trusts with all the statutory ma chinery at his disposal. But the necessity for this seems unlikely, as all the old line insurance com panies have instructed their Ar kansas agents to cease writing policies upon the passage of the antitrust bill.
