I have 920 acres of land for
rent, IL miles northwest of
Devils Lake and Z miles from
Webster. Most of the land is
ready for crop next year, fine

the best to be found in Ramsey

CURTIS COMPANY
 CLOSES ENGAGEMENT

Notwithstanding the indictment weather the Forest park theater was crowded again last night, when the Allen Curtis Musical Company clos ed a most successful weeks engage ment there, presenting again by spe- cial request The S10,O00 Beauty" The audience laughed until their sides ached and they were liberal with their encoreS, the musical numbers being repeatedly recalled, The show was even better than last Monday night, when it was presented as the opening bill. On that occasion the audience. which was the smallest of the entire week was not so large owing to the fearful storm in the af- ternoon. The Curtis company is un- doubtedly the best ever seen at q summer playhouse here and return engagement is open to Allen Curtis at any time he sees fit to return to Pine Bluff with his competent aggre- gatiOn.
 The company left early this morn- ing for Fort Smith, where they are booked for two weeks. The Forest Park theater will not offer a theatri- cal organization the coming week, but

Editor Graphic


 In order that some of the people may not be misled by an article which appeared in dirty little sheet called The Commoner," dated Saturday, August 10th, 1907, entitled Cold Facts, and of which paper A. C.. Hurd is printed as editor and publish ar, l wish to make the following statement:
 The article is not signed by any one, but everybody knows that this fellow Hurd never wrote the artic.e He was simply paid to publish it. aud 10 print extra numbers of his papea. so that they could be distributed throughout this district by interested parties. Who paid for it!
 It was written for the purpose of aiding Judge Jones as q candidate fos prosecuting attorney, and at the ;, Eelae time, to try 10 blacken my good Name. and besmirch the character and injura the candidacy of ". r. iOuuS lOI Sulu OllCe.
 The style, the, ear marks, the quot ing Of certain sections of the digest, showing cursory knowledge of the criminal statutes, the venom through out, point with an unerring finger to 3 certain pretended lawyer.
 I am reliably informed that one ex-Judge kerwin either wrote or dic- tated the article in queston. and that others, q little higher up in the moral scale, and who are enemies of mine. had hand in it.
 The grand juries of the Jefferson County Circuit Court for the Fall term 1905 and Spring term 1906. that investigated the killing of J. M. Scott by E. P Ladd, were selected in the mode and manner provided by law Whatever jurors were excused from service upon the regular panel. was by order of the Circuit Court. and whatever jurors were summoned to fill the places of those excused. was with the full knowledge and consent of Judge Grace and Judge W. D. Jones.
 I never spoke to one of these jurors about the Ladd case, knew nothing of their opinion about it, or how they would vote. The following card speaks for itself:
 Ark. City, Ark, Aug. 16, 1907. MT. James Gould, Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear Sir: In reply to your re- quest for statement from ne as to your connection, as the then sheriff of Jefferson County, with the compost ton of the grand jury for the March term, 1906, have to say:
 That, as is the case at every term of the court, a number of grand jur- orS were, at their own very urgent re- quest, excused from service on ac- count of illness of themselves or fam lilies, or very pressing private busi- ness. I have no recollection of the particular reasons given by those eX- cused at that term, but I know that {Aey appeared satisfactory to me at the time, and that, in relieving them from service, it was done without ref erence to, or even thought of, any par ticular case that was or might be pending before them.
 T further recall the fact that, in filling the vacancies, a venire for a number of jurors-fve. I believe-was ordered and that, before it was serv- ed, conference was held by you, Judge Jones and myself, in my chambers, in which the names of a number of persons were suggested and canvassed, and a list finally agreed on, and they were afterward

\. B. GRACE,
 Circuit Judge.

Circuit Judge. I know nothing of the proceedings of the grand jury at the Fall term, 1905, or the Spring term, 1906, or as to how any juror voted upon the Ladd, or any other case.
 Section 220T of Kirby's Digest pro vides:
 Every member of the grand jury must keep secret whatever he him self, or any other grand juror, may have said, or in what manner he, or any grand juror, may have voted on a matter before them.
 Section 2211;
 No person except the prosecut- ing attorney and the witnesses under examination are permitted to be present while the grand jury are eX- amining a charge, and no person whatever shall be present while the grand jury are deliberating or yot- ing on a charge"
 Now, this pretended lawyer knows how. the grand jurors voted, and what was said by the grand jurors in the grand jury room at the Fall term 1905 and the Spring term 1906 In the face of the above sections of the statute. do you believe any grand juror gave any information 10 any one as to the vote or actions ot the said grand jurors? Of course not. Who was interested in getting out this fake story, to try and injure me-
 Sec. 2104. Any person may be prosecuted, tried and punished for any offense punishable with death, at am time after the offe1se may have bee I committed.
 What was done by the grand jurles of Jefferson County at the Fall term. 1906, and Spring term, 1907 about the Ladd case? was not sheriff then.
 This miserable little fellow. kerwin. whines about the grand jury of Jef- ierson County indicting him. and whines about my beating him in the Democratic primary last year, for County and Probate Judge of Jeiier- son County. by over seven hundred majority. saying that he was count cd out. He knew, when he wrote this. or dictated it, that lie lied.
 He no doubt has been promised certain influence to be for him for County Judge CT State Senator in th' Democratic primary next year, in or der to get him to do this dirty, in famous piece of work, and they have no doubt promised the same influence to others for the same positions.
 feel it is my duty to show these miserable consiprators up to the cit izens of Jefferson County, and l am responsible for every word of it.
