SENTENCED ID THREE YEARS.
. n.,,se,,s Testimony Results in Cor
 v;ct;ou of Her Son.

Fort Smith, June
 Helton, charged with the k'llne If Asa Smith, in Scott county ID 1oos. will serve three years ID tbe peni,entiary for voluntary mauslaughter, of which offense ,h.s heeu convicted by the Jury ,fter three days deliberation. The jury was unable to agree up. on the punishment anu 'na : question was left to the court, ,nb;ch this morning sentenced Helton to the term named.
 The man killed was an un0ie If Helton. He aud his wife had been separated, and he blamed Helton and a man named Jones' ,ho he accused ot exercising un- d,e influence over her. He made ranaated threats to kill both un- TPpedtSu t"A less they desisted, and on tue day of the killing had his gun witn him for that purpose. Hel'on uert to the home of his mother and found the uncle there. ne latter started 10 get his gun' which he had laid upon a cot Tn lthe room, and then 1t was that Helton shot and killed him,
 The mother of Helton, who IS sister of Smith, was one of the principal witnesses, and she was a pathetic sight. Being con- scientious, she concealed nothing though she spoke in tears and sobs. It is believed her testimony caused the conviction of her son.
 Last evening during the argu' ments in the trial most pathetic scene occurred. James Johnson for the defense, was closing hi: arguments, when he lost contro of himself, and turning suddenly to Colonel Cravens, his associate in the defense, exclaimed in al impassioned tone: My tod Colonel Cravens, can't you con

 he turned away the tears stream
 ed down his cheeks. The mother
 an old and frail woman, was s' overcome that she slipped iron , her chair to her knees, buried he face in her sons lap, and extend
 ing her hands to his breast patted him affectionately, tn while moaning and wailing ou her poignant grief.
 The members of the jury bowet
 their heads and there was a sus picious communication betweel the hands and the eyes, whil those within and without the ba brought their handkerchiefs int acquisition. The pathos of tn
 scene was contagious, and tn contagion extended to the court ' The old woman was removed

F. & N. Telephone.

The Farmers and Merchants
Telephone stock holders met
Tuesday. The object of meet
ing was to increase the capital
stock.
For some reason the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone people
have failed to make known their
intentions as to future consoli-
dation of the two systems or to
submit any proposition whatso-
ever.
There appears to be a con-
tract between the two compa-
nies above named, which means
the F. & M. company was to
handle or care for the long dis
tauce business of the Missouri
u Kansas people at this point
FOR commission, with the full
understanding that the Missouri
q Kansas is not to build an ex-
change in this city during life
of contract which is TO run uu-
It'll Oct. 1907.
That being true it is an in
justice to the business interests
of this city to compel or force
the people to have ana pay for
the use of two phones when one
could, would and ought to be
enough.
That being the case the de-
Law is an injustice TO let matters
stand as they are at present.
AS there is no understanding
at present how things are to be
conducted, the meeting held.by
the F, & M. peop was ad-
ioHrned to May 5, 1906 At that
time some decisive step will be
taken in regard to the future
actions of and methods of con-
trolling the F. s. Vi business
and as to it's extensions
