LOCKETT COMMITTED SUICIDE.
A Coroner's Jury Decides Texarkana At.
 torney Took Morphine.
From The Texarkanian

From The Texarkanian.
 Justice of the Peace J. NJ. Will Hams, of the West Side, sitting as coroner, this morning rendered verdict in the matter of the in- quest held over the remains of the late Robert K. Lockett, whose sudden and entirely unexpected death shocked the community a week ago this evening.
 The verdict was to the effect that deceased came to his death as the result of morphine poison ing which drug was self admins. tered and with suicidal intent.
 A representative of the Texar- kaniau this morning looked over the testimony taken at the inquest and which was reduced to writing at the time, and found it to be of such nature as 10 preclude the finding of any other kind of yer dict than that rendered.
 It also appeared from. the testi- mony that the deceased spent his last lucid moments reading from Quo VadIs, the story of a man who, under trying conditions, had abandoned himself to dispair and had deliberately taken passage across the Stygian waters through the agency of poisou.
 Just why MT. Lockett should have committed the rasl deed is not known.

4 VERY HEAVY RAINFALL
Ward Greek Higher Than t Has been for Years-Pui Out Fires at
 Light Plant.

While the storm was not un- usually severe in Mena last nignt vet from the condition ct the streams, especially Ward creek which flows through the north and east portion of the town' there was evidently an immense quantity of water fell in the mountains north of the city.
 Shortly before midnight Ward creek was higher than 1t has been for years. The water flooded Ill the boiler room at the electric light plant putting out the hees and shutting down the plant.
 This is the first shut down that has occurred at the plant for near ly a year and only once since the plant was established has the water been high enough to put out the fires. About o'clock this morning the water receded so that the fires could be started and lights turned ou again.

WRECK ON
 IRON MOUNTAIN
Four Cars of a Passenger Train Leave Track and Roll Down Embankment
 No One Seriously Hurt.

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-The four rear cars of sonth-bound passenger train No. l of the Iron Mountain, which was due in Little Rock at 1:20 o'clock yes- terday morning were derailed be- tween Harviell and Neelyville, Mo-. short distance from Pop lar Bluff, on Wednesday night at $40 o'clock, and between Is and 20 passengers were injured. The wreck occurred along an embank. ment, and the derailed cars partially rolled down it. None of the passengers was seriously hurt, and their injuries were principally in the nature of bruises and sprains.
 Among the passengers on the train was H. s. Coleman, tim Der contractor of this city, who escaped injury. J. B. Freer of Portia, Ark, was also passen. ger, and one of his legs was broken and his head bruised. A. L. Robinson of Pocahontas was injured about the head.
 The train was in charge of Conductor w. H. Wilsey of Pop lar Bluff, who sustained slight injuries to one of his legs, and Engineer Hammond, who was uuinjured.
 After the wreck several of the injured were placed in the mail and baggage cars, which, with the engine, remained on the track and were taken to Neelyville. A relief train made up at Poplar Bluff picked up the remainder oi the injured and took them to Poplar Bluff, where they received medical attention.
 It is said that the accident was the result of deliberate at- tempt to wreck the train thoug h no information bearing upon that has been received at the general offices in this city. The wreck occurred along a stretch of marshy land aud all of the pas sengers were thoroughly drenched before they were rescued.

FOR THE STATES
 BAD FOLKS
Suoeriutendent Pitcock, Dr.. RasseI anu chaol,u Brewer Speak of the Neeos of the State Convicts Would
 Keep Them on Farm.

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-The biennial report of J. A. Pitcoek' superintendent of the state penn tentiary, has been filed with the penitentiary board and Will pc submitted to the printer within the next few days. With this report are number of tables showing various departments oi the peuitentiary and the reports of the chaplain and physician.
 In closing his report Superln tendent Pitcock recommends that the board make provision for keeping the couvicts together 'as much as possible. Superiutend- ent Pitcock says that the scatter ing of the convict camps over the state not only makes 1t hard on officials to properly look after the conyicts, but makes 1t much harder ou the convicts. "l re- gard farming as the most humane aud best method of handling the convicts,' says MT. Pitcock in his 
 report.
 The report shows that on the last day of the two-year term, October 31, 1906, there are SAY convicts in the penitentiary, of whom PA were white men, 5o5 negro men and Is negro woman, l The greatest number on any one day was 800 on May 8, l906, and he smallest number was 795 ou September 26, 1900 The average populat ton of the peuitentlary III 1903 4 was SIS and in 19G56 was 343 During the last two years 1,139 were admitted, against l, ll3 admitted tor the two years before an increase of 20, or } To per cent. There were 43 escapes during the two years.
 The report of DT. k. l.. Russell penitentiary physician, is en- closed with the report of Superin- tendent Pitcock, to te forwarded to the printer. It shows the death rate was smaller than dur ing the two years before, yet there were g deaths, of which q were during the first year and "A Iduring the last year of the period covered by the report.
 | Dr. Russel recommends that all the convicts be put on the state farm or that they be confined to- gether so that they may be cared for better. The treatment afford ed now, he says, has resulted ir the decrease of the death rate but he recommends that stil further efforts be made to care for the health of the convicts He recommends that artesiar wells be drilled on the farm ir Lincoln county, to furnish water for all uses. These wells alone, he says, will result in a much better general average of health Famoug the convicts.
 Rev. F. N. Brewer, chaplain of the peuitentiary, recommends that the board make provision to furnish transportation home tc l all convicts. The $2 allowance given at present when a convict is discharged, he says tends tc encourage the convicts in crime. He recommends that the board study the parole system in vogue in many other states as subsii- tute for the present communication policy.
 The report will be printed and will be ready for distribution be. fore tue session of the legislature.
