CONTRACTOR COON
 COMES TO GRIEF
For Cashing Checks that Were Turned Down-First De-
 posted Big Drafts.

Fort Worth, June sc. E. Coon, claiming to be a railroad contractor, deposited a $2, 5000 draft on a bank at Lima, Ohio, in the American National Bank, then cashed a check for $50, drawn on the same bank. Both were returned. Coon also de- posted a worthless draft in the Paris National Bank, at Paris to- day, for $1, 800 and secured $50, skipping out. He was arrested here, but will be turned over to Texas authorities. .
 Officers claim that Coon has operated in all cities of the United States. Last winter he is said to have secured 5000 from New York bankers by rep resenting himself as J. E. Nel- son of Fort Smith.
 Coon claims that. he built two interurban lines at Lima and that parties there, who owe him, or dered him to draw upon that bank for the amount. He says that the Paris transaction was legimate.

RHOTON SATISFIED
 TO BE SILENT.
Charges of Alleged Boodlers Fail To Draw Forth Reply From
 Prosecuting Attorney.

Little Rock, June g. There have been no developments in the poodle Investigation. and there is no likelihood of any of the cases being called for trial before June 26. Several felony cases have been set for next week, and there is no indication of any time being left to try ),oodlers.
 z Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton is maintaining his own counsel, as he has from the first. He is ignoring the charges made by Senator Covington that the in- dictments were returned against Covington without evidence, and of Senator Gross that he told a prominent state official that he would quash his indictments if Gross would tell what he knows about the poodle cases. MT. Rhoton appears to be resting se- cure in the knowledge he pos sesses as to the strength of his cases, and declines to enter into a newspaper controversy. He prefers that his evidence shall be brought before the jury.

CONSTABLE CLEARED
 AND RELEASED.
Had Taken a Hand at Golden Lake In Quelling a Dis
 orderly Crowd.

Osceola, June 8. 8.-Constable J. Patterson of Golden Lake town ship, who was arrested after the killing of Edward Gamiter at Wilson last Saturday night, has been cleared of blame and re- leased. J. S. Sharp, who was wounded at the same time, is in jail in default of $2,000 bail.
 The evidence shows that the pistol ball which killed Gamiter previously passed through the body.
 Constable Patterson was try ing to quell a disturbance or drunken row when he was seized by some of the belligerents. Patterson fired at Sharp and the bullet entered the latter's left breast, passing through and striking Gamiter, who stood be- hind Sharp, killed him almost instantly. The trouble started by Gamiter ordering the drinks for the crowd and failing to pay the bill. 4
 Sharp, who is in jail, is seri- ously wounded and his recovery is by no means assured.

 Wednesday evening about four o'clock Sheriff Logan and Con- stable Mark Phillips set in to de- stroy the beer taken in the recent raids, says the Jonesboro Sun. There were eighty-six cases of the beer forty-eight pint bot ties to the case and the task was not a small one.
 The officers are getting a little experience in the breaking of beer bottles and are evolving inn proved methods. If the fight keeps on some inventor here abouts will probably devise a patent bottle smasher and spiller.
 A 2-pound hammer on the end +of a handle about five feet long was used. Two negroes were employed to carry out the cases. The seals were broken and the cases tilted on edge. While a negro held a case in this position Sheriff Logan and Constable Phillips took turns at knocking the tops off the bottles with the long-handled hammer. They were not handled very gently by the negroes and the contents being shaken the gas was fiber ated from the beer, causing the bottles to pop when struck and send broken bits of glass in every direction. Constable Phillips worked with his sleeves rolled up and the numerous small cuts on his arms caused the blood to flow freely. Both officers were cut on the hands and Sheriff Logan got a generous slash on the nose. The hammer handle was bloody and the appearance of the officers and hammer suggested a tragedy.
 When the bottles were all bro- ken Sheriff Logan would sing out:
 Let Ter go, Jako.''
 Then the case would be dumped against a telegraph pole which had been placed on the opposite side of the gutter, and the foamy amber fluid would gurgle down through the heap of broken glass into the gutter. The dry ground licked up the fluid with all the avidity of a thirsty hobo but soon its thirst was slaked and the beer flowed on in an in- creasing stream. Soon a small rivulet was flowing down past the Hiett wagon factory, and before the task was finished the rivulet nearly reached the Chris tian church corner. A stream as large as a quart measure was in constant flow for over an hour. The air around for a half block was filled with a pungenJ odor.

Meanwhile Haroutune was anguish
ing in prison. He was so gentle in his
manner that n of the prison officials
took him into his service. This gave
the pool fellow Il great deal of liberty.
Not long before his term expired a
snake charner gave an exhibition at
the prison, and Haroutune saw him
perform. Among other things, the
snake charmer would place Il bird in
the same apartment with a snake. On
its masters order the snake would
steal up to the bird and strangle 1t.
One day when Colonel Colinwood
was ut dinner with some friends he
remarked that the time for the expira-
ton of the nan who had stolen his
diamond must have arrived. Some of
the party said hat the natives were
prone to take revenge for punishment
and 1t behooved the colonel to be on
his guard. Collnwood declared that If
he were inclined to fear any Indian he
certainly would not fear Haroutune,
who was more woman than man. Had
the colonel realized that the prisoner,
who had served fifteen years for an
offense of which he knew himself to
be Innocent; that he had come out of
prison to find his wife and children,
having been deprived Of his support.
had succumbed and were all dead
had HE colonel known this ne might
have feared that ever a worm will
turn. Mrs. Collnwood did MT share
her husbands want of faith In Indian
revenge and shuddered.
Thn very next day Elsie Colinwood
was found dead in the garCen. The
children were permitted to play there,
since the place was surrounded by a
high wall. The little brother who made
the discovery said that he had seen a
snake pass from a tree on to the gar
den wall. There was no mark on the
body. though the throat gave evidence
Of strangulation.
A month later the boy WAS found
dead in his bed with no more marks on
him than had been found on his sister.
The mother, on the verge of insanity
at BIER loss. besought her husband to
resign his position and return to Eng
land. He promised to do so. but be
fore he could make his arrangements
his wife had met a fate similar to that

pleted his preparations to leave a coun-
try that had become a horror to him.
The night before he was to sail he was
awakened by a choking sensation and.
grasping what was coiled about his
neck, tore It away and threw 1t TO the
other side of the room. The next
morning a servant went to awaken
him and found his dead body terribly

A Gentle Servant
[OrRinal.1

IOrfginal.1
Colonel Colinwood commanded the
til Haidarabad native infantry. The
colonel was a large, ford man who
well Illustrated the English p~roclivity
for not being able to learn from others.
His father had been a small tradesman
In London who in some way had put a
member of the cabinet under obligation
to him and the obligation was repaid
by a commission for the son. Nearly
all the young mans brother officers
were gentlemen born, n many Of
wood was snubbed for twenty years,
and as soon as he was promoted to the
command of a regiment commenced n
systematic snubblng Of every officer
beneath him In rank excepting those
connected with the nobility.
The colonel was especially hard on
his servants. He seemed to consider
any servant as a necessary evil and a
native Indian servant as a worm of the
dust. Among those who attended him
were an Irishman named Mallory and
a native named Haroutune. Mallory
treated all natives as his master treat
ed his interiors. Haroutune WIS very
different from both the colonel and the
Irishman. He was as gentle as a wom-
an. He was married to a soft eyed
young Indian, and they had three chill
dren, on whom they both dotted. They
were very frugal, their n supreme
object being to accumulate something
for their little ones
One day Colonel Colinwood missed a
valuable diamond that he had bought,
expecting to make a display with 1t
when he returned to England. The on
ly two persons who had access to the
room where 1t was kept were Mallory
and Haroutune. The colonel, who had
perfect confidence in Mallory, had Ha-
reutune arrested, and the courts in the
neighborhood were so afraid of the au-
tocratic soldier that he had little trou-
BILE in having the Indian convicted.
Haroutune was sent to prison to serve
a term of fifteen years.
Not long after the loss Of tho dia-
mond Mallory left the %coloneps service
to return to the British isles. Eight
years later Colinwood, having beer in
valided home, found his former servant
living I'm clover" Setting detectives
on his track, he colonel unearthed the
fact that he had disposed Of a valuable
diamond, and his prosperity dated
from the sale Collnwood, finding it to
his Interest to accept the remainder of
the thief's fund on condition that he
would not prosecute, made the compro
mise.
A few years after this the colonel re-
turned to India with a wife and two
little children. He debated the matter
as to what he should do In making
amends to Haroutune and decided that
to say anything about the mistake
would place him in an unpleasant posi-
ton. Haroutune now had but a few
years to serve. Besides, he was moth
ing but a low caste native, and a pris-
on was as good a place for him as any
where else. So the colonel concluded
to do nothing IN The way Of Justice.
