SUIT IN CHANCERY
Resulting From The Action OF The Last
Democratic County Convention.

through his attorney, Judge John
| B. McCaleb, last week instituted
a suit, which will come up in the
chancery court next week, an ex-
act copy of the complaint in
which follows:
To the Honorable George T.
Humphries, Chancellor CT the
Eighth Chancery Circuit of the
state of Arkansas, and Of Sharp
county:
The plaintiff, R. B. Clear, COM
plains of the defendants, G. B.
Ferguson, Claude L. Coger and
William F. Smith, and for his
cause of action states and alleges:
That plaintiff is now, and has
been for the past ten years, a cit
izen of Sharp county, possessing
the qualifications of an elector,
and that on and prior to the 2Sth
day of March, 1905, he and the
defendant, William F. Smith, with
others, were candidates before
the democratic voters of Sharp
county for the nomination to the
office of assessor of said county,
to be voted for at the ensuing
state election, and submitted
their candidacy to a legalized
primary election, held pursuant
to regular call of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee of said
county, with the understanding
that the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes would
be declared the nominee by a
convention of delegates from the
several townships of said county,
called in like manner to assemble
at Evening Shade on the 7th day
of April, 1905.
That said primary and said
convention were held at the time
aforesaid, and that the defendant,
G. B. Ferguson, was chosen and
elected chairman, and the de-
fendant, Claude L. Coger, was
chosen and elected and acted as
secretary of said convention.
That plaintiff and defendant,
William F. Smith, each received
a greater number of votes at said
primary than either of the other
candidates for assessor, the plain
tiff receiving 344 votes or more,
and the defendant, William F.
Smith, receiving 343 votes only,
but Notwithstanding the fact that
plaintiff received a greater num-
Der of votes than defendant. Will
lam F. Smith, or any other can
didate for assessor of said coun-
ty at said primary, a canvassing
board or committee of said con-
vention, through a mistake, mis-
calculation, or otherwise, report
ed that SAID Smith received 343
votes and plaintiff 342 votes, pur-
suant to which erroneous canvass
and report the said county con-
vention declared the said William
F. Smith to be the Democratic
nominee for said office to the
great injury of plaintiff.
Plaintiff alleges that at said
primary he received in Davidson
township for said office 35 votes
as shown by the certificate and
tally sheets of the judges and
clerks of election in said town.
ship, and that said canvassing
board or committee of said con-
vention returned him only 33
votes in said township.
Plaintiff further alleges that
unless restrained therefrcm, the
said defendants, G. B. Ferguson
as chairman, and Claude l.. Co.
ger as secretary Of said convent
ion, will certify the nomination of
the said William F. Smith to the
election commissioners of Sharp

RECEIVED NEEDED RAIN.
Drought in North Central Kansas
which Damaged Wheat and
Threatened Corn Broken.

Topeka, June 1S.-After the hottest
day Of the year, north central Kansas
was Sunday night visited by terrific
rain and thunderstorms, breaking the
extended drought which had already
irreparably damaged the wheat croI
and threatened the corn crop. Reports
received here are meager, but 1t Ia
known that the storm is general in the
northern section Of the state. In Mar
shall county the storm is 90 terrific
that all wires are down and food dam
age is threatened.
In the extreme northern tier Of
counties the rain will still greatly ben
eft the wheat, but farther south It is
feared that the crop viii be still fur
Their damaged by the delay In harvest
ing due to wet fields.
The hot weather has been burning up
the corn in all sections and Sunday
nights rain will mean saving Of
many thousands Of dollars to the farm
ers Of the state on this crop alone.

81. Petersburg, June 19.-The embar-
60 on news from Bialystok was lifted
Monday and the Associated Press staf
correspondent was for the first time al.
lowed to telegraph directly from the
sacked city a picture Of the scene Of
ruin and desolation left in the wake Of
the mob. According to frequent bull
letins order was restored and main
tanned throughout the day In spite Of
the incentive to disorder at funerals
which were in progress almost the
whole day, but the atmosphere is sup
ercharged and slight event may suf-
fee to precipitate renewal Of street
fighting. The authorities apparently
realize this and hope to avert such a
catastrophe by strong show Of force
On one occasion the whole garrison
was called out on some alarm and
he streets were literally packed with
horse, foot and artillery until the dan
ger was passed.
The story told by the Associated
Press correspondent is dreadful one,
bat there are indications that he has
been prevented by the censorship from
relating further details about the con-
dltion OF corpses, the utter bestiality Of
the mob and the inability of the troops
to cope with the excuses during the
first days Of the rloting.
It Is evident from the dispatches
that the excuses assumed the charact-
er of a three-cornered fight between
the military, the mob and armed mem
bers of the Jewish bund, who instead
Of submitting passively to slaughter
as their unarmed co-religianists have
done, heretofore, carried the war into
the enemy's camp and fought bravely
throughout without inflicting appreci-
able loss on the troops, among whom
no serious casualties have been re-
ported.
