He Was Much Improved "Wednesday

Late Tuesday afternoon. r. Ken
| ard. a we'll known citizen of Eller-
SON. was found unconscious under the
iron steps at the courthouse by Coun-
tv Clerk Jesse Core and Deputy Clerk
Nichol. He was at once removed
to the office of the county judge, and
Tuesday night was given every atten-
ton possible.
1t was very late in the afternoon
when Mr.. kennard was discovered.
Messrs. Core and Nichol at first
thought he was simply asleep under
the steps. but investigation revealed
the fact that he was delirious and
bad a high fever. They at once pro-
cured a cot and removed him to the
county judges office. and sending for
a physician gave him every assistance
possible. He was better Wednesday
morning.
Mr.. Kennard was called to this
city Tuesday to attend circuit court,
where he was witness in case
pending before that court.

REACHED ITS TERMNA TloN.

he asked the chief for the money
he was let out, as soon as the chief
found a pretext for doing so. He
states that the chief has paid the in
terest on the money, but none of the
principal. Chief Shultz does not deny
being indebted to the young man, but
states that the money is not yet due,
and that it will be paid as soon as
due.
1t would seem from the action of
the fire committee in the matter that
they do not consider the chiefs in
debtedness sufficient ground for TAX
ing up the charges preferred against
Kim nor of interfering with him in
the discharge of his men for the al
legged reason of insubordinatiOn. In
fact. from all reports obtainable, it
appears that the fire committee, as
we'll as the public generally, is wea-
ried of the embroglio.
The fact that the committee has vir-
tually supported the chief, by declin-
ing to call any meeting to discuss
Affords discharge, would lead to the
belief that the committee is willing
to leave the management of the de
rartment entirely to the chief, so far
as any present charges against him
are concerned. This probably means
several other removals, though Chief
Shultz himself declined to make any
statement about his intention to the
reporter for the Graphic. The public
would not be surprised, however, to
hear of other heads being chopped
off in the fire department of the city.

I.aid replied that Mr.. Scott was an
excellent Workman-the best he had
ever had-and recommended him
most highly to the Sawyer and Austin
Sawyer and Austin not 10 employ the
man until he had closed down his mill
at l.add. as it would place him in a
bad situation there He explained
hat he would close down his mill
shortly for lack of sufficient timber

would be obliged to keep Scott until
he closed down the mill, and while
recommending the sawyer highly. and
expressing perfect willingness for him
to go to the Sawyer and Austin peo-
pie begged that they perm it him to
stay at Ladd until the mill closed
down.
This is said to be the origin Of the
whole trouble. The report has it that
Mr. Scott took exceptions to Mr..
Ladds actions in the matter. and
quarrel resulted. The men are said
to have had words with each other
over the matter Tuesday morning pre-
ceding the tragedy and Tuesday af-
tcrnoon Scott looked up Ladd" at his
residence, with the result that they
renewed the quarrel, and Ladd shot
Scott. killing him.
1t was learned. as a matter of de-
tail, that Scott did not have any wea-
pom with him when he went to Ladd's
house. but the latter did not know
this. Just how the quarrel at the
house came about. and what was said
and done, remains complete mys.
terry.
The sentiment at Ladd SENS to be
wholly with Mr.. Ladd, as not an ex-
preston against him by any ne at
the mill has been reported. !
The remains of Scott were prepar.
ed for shipment and burial by Mr..
Snall of the Robinson company, and
will be sent to the dead mans old
home in Michigan for interment.

The grand jury will reconvene next
Monday week. and the case will be
thoroughly investigated by that body
at this term of the circuit court.

So far as the fire committee is
concerned. it is probable that the
fire department embroglio has been
definitely settled, for no meeting has
vet been called to consider the ques-
ton of reinstating Jesse B. Afford,
the man let out by Chief Shultz, and
according to reports Chairman Fox
of that committee will issue no call
for any such meeting. Mr.. Fox is
quoted as having said that he consid-
cred Chief ShultZ capable of running
his own business, and would have
nothing more to do with the trouble.
II is understood that the mayor, who
is ex-offcio chairman of all the COM
mittees. is thoroughly in sympathy
with Chief Shultz in the matter, and
will take sides with Chairman Fox in
the trouble 1t must be said in justice
to both gentlemen, however, that
neither of them has ever publicly ex
pressed himself on the subject for
publication.
Jesse B. Afford, the young man who
was let out of the service for insubor
t;nation, in an interview with the Gra-
pihc reporter, stated thath the whole
trouble between him and the chief
was of personal nature, and not due
to insubordination, as charged.
"The chief owes me $3.50, and that
is the whole secret Of the trouble"
said Afford to the reporter Tuesday.
He declares that the chief has been
indebted to him in this sum since
.Janrary So and that the money was
cue on July so. He claims that when

ELEPHANT ARRESTED AS THIEF
He Eats an $50 Watch and Partisan
Bonnet and Gets Into Trouble.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Oct 25.-A war
rant was worn out this morning for
the manager of circus and Tip, one
of his elephants. for the theft of an
$500 damond-set gold watch and the
obstruction of a Partisan confectiOn
in millinery, the property of Mrs
Ella Goltz of Portsmouth, Ohio, who
is visiting friends in this city. Mrs.
Coltz was feeding Tip with succulent
peanuts when the pachyderm took
ker watch in his trunk, placed it care
fully in his mouth and then followed
the theft by slowing away her bonnet
Tip was packing up preparatory to
moving to the next town, but the ar
rest stopped him. A suit for $4,000
damages was brought against the
manager of the unmanageable Tip,
his offer to pay for the watch and
bonnet being spurned.

Jim Williams, the young man who
was found unconscious in a clump
Of trees near his home on Thirteenth
street Monday morning. after having
lain out all night, has fully recovered
and is able to be up and about again.
The strange part about the whole Oc-
currence, however, is the fact that
Williams declares he remembers moth
ing after he left home Sunday night
to go to church until he recovered
consciousness Tuesday. He says he
has not the least idea what was the
matter with him, and his parents and
friends are still in the dark concern
ing the cause of his mysterious condi-
ton Sunday night.
1t will be remembered that Will
liams started to church Sunday night.
and was not seen any more until
found Monday morning lying in a
vacant lot near his home. He was
unconscious when picked up, and re-
manned so until Tuesday, notwith-
standing the fact that he was given

discovered The whole matter re-
mains wrapped in considerable mys-
terry.

FALSE PRtTENSES
CHARGE MADE AGAINST o. NJ.
BUCKNER BY HIS FORMER
EMPLOYER.
Charge Made by S. J. Armstead. Man
ager of Hallbufton's Levee Camp
After Buckner's Discharge.

d. NJ. Buckner. formerly booklleep-
or for Halliburton'S ievee camp, north
of the city. was arrested at the Ar
lington hotel early Wednesday morn
ing on a complaint made by his form
er employer, S J, Armstead, charging
fini with obtaining money and goods
under false pretenses Armstead is
manager Of the Halliburton levce
camp. and Buetnel' was under his EN-
ploy.
1t is alleged that several days ago
Armstead discharged Buckner. and
the latter cane to Pine Bluff and pur-
chased goods from sevral firms and
charged them to Halliburton. It is
also alleged that he secured S25 in
money from the Hammett Grocery
company, under the pretense that it
was to be used in paying off Hallibur-
tons laborers.
Buckner, who was held in police
court on minor charge Wednesday
1aorning. presented rather pitiable
spectacle. He is of middle age, and
deformed by illness. After police
court Wednesday morning, the war
rant charging him with obtaining
money and goods under false pre-
lenses was served upon him by Con-
stable Frank Stewart just as he was
about to leave the police court. He
was at once arraigned before Justice
r. T. Culpepper, and will have his
preliminary hearing soon.
1t is said that Buckner is promi
nently connected in Mississippi.

BETTER ROADS
Interview With Lawrence Knox, En-.
thusiastic Automobiles.

The following is from the Little
Rock Gazette:
l.. O. Knox of Pine Bluff is an en-
thusiastic automobolist, and in speak
ing on this favorite subject he said
yeasterday:
"Having read an editorial in the
Gazette of October IS, entitled "A Lit
tie Rock-Hot Springs Automobile
Road l wish to be allowed the privi-
lege of heartily endorsing the senti-
ment set forth; and to urge the neces-
sity of good roads throughout the en-
tire state. There is nothing that will
do our state more good than roads
good roads.
"Automobiling is one of the finest
sports in the category of sport, and
automobilists are the hottest good
road men on earth. hence the more
autos, the more good roads.
"I would like to urge the necessity
of a word through the columns of
your paper in the interests of roads
whenever the opportunity presents
itself, and I feel sure that in the long
run, indirectly, of course. the Gazette,
as we'll as every citizen in the state,
will reap a belefit from the move.
"The auto drivers of Pine Bluff and
vicinity are all good road men and
boosters, and hope to see the day in
the near future when it will be posi-
tle to make a run from Pine Bluff to
Little Rock, Hot Springs. or any other
part of the state on as good roads as
are boasted by many of our sister
states, some of whom are far in adj
vance of us in the line of good roads"
