F. 0. BUTT AGAIN
 TO FACE A JURY
Indictment Is for Perjury Senator A. T. Gross Bribery Case Will Be Called at Perryville Next
 Week-State Is Ready.

Little Rock, July 29.-The Au- gust term of Perry Circuit Court will open next Monday at Perry vile. Judge F. w. Winfield will preside. Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton and his law partner, De E. Bradshaw, will go, and if the poodle. cases on docket go to trial the latter will assist in the prosecutions. Mir. Bradshaw was unable yesterday to make a positive statement that the cases will be tried.
 F. 0. Butt, who was convicted on bribery charge, sentenced to the penitentiary and served until pardoned by Acting Governor Pindall, is under an indictment alleging perjury. When he was a witness before the Pulaski county grand jury after the ses- sion of the general assembly of 1905, it is alleged he testified falsely.
 Senator Gross is under an in dictment in which 1t is charged he solicited bribe. This case was to have come to trial at Perryville last February, but Gross stayed in Little Rock, at tended the Senate, of which he was member, and allowed for feitur, to be taken ou his bond.
 Mir. Bradshaw stated yesterday that the entire docket probably will be called next Monday at Perryville, and the cases set down for trial. He said as far as he knew the state was ready and will urge that the cases be tried.

CAR CONTAINED MUTILATED BODY
Shot Five Times, Ears Cut Off and
 Head and Face Battered.

Chickasha, I. T., July 2S.- The most horrible murder ever committed in this section was brought 10 light last night by the discovery of dead man in a lumber car on the Frisco road.
 A brakeman discovered the body while the train was on the sidetrack. Up 10 this time the body has not been identified.
 The inside of the car showed that the man had been murdered in the car, and that terrible en- counter had taken place. There was five bullet holes in his breast and neck, both ears were cut off close to his head and the ia ce was badly bruised. His trousers pockets were cut out, indicating that robbery was the motive.
 The body was not stiff when discovered, and the supposition is that he was murdered this side of Oklahoma City. The victim was about 5 years old, six feet tall, weighed about 165, high fore head, dark hair. He was dressed in overalls and jumper.

STORM IN MARION COUNTY
Startled by Lightning, Son of Hon. J.
 (. Floyd Hurt on Meat Hook.

Melville, July 2S.-The first rain that we have had in this, Marion county, for two weeks came yesterday.
 There was considerable light ming and wind at the beginning of the raiu storm, and little Berry Floyd, son of Congressman J. C. Floyd, while in a butcher shop, was startled by vivid f1,sh of lightning, jumped aside and struck sharp meat hook, which ran through h the flesh of his leg, inflicting a very painful, but not serious, wound. Dr. Yeast was called. and dressed the wound, and he is resting we'll now.
 The farmers here are rejoicing over tho rain, as it will help crops here, and the crop, outlook is fine, except cotton, which is late, and this is not a cotton country. Three thousand bales was about the highest ever raised in Marion county.

PARDONS SUNDAY
 LAWBREAKERS
Gov. Pindall Issues Pardons to Five Who Were Convicted at Ft. Smith and Prosecutor is Sore Over
 the Matter.

Little Rock, July 29.-Gover- nor Pindall issued pardons to five men convicted of Sabbath breaking in Fort Smith, as fol lows; Jake Narissi, Lewis Co roni, John Ross, E. J. Conway and F. P. Jackson.
 He declared each of the of fences charged was trivial in nature and not against the wei fare of society to any great extent and that he would prefer to re- lieve them of their penalty. f
 Prsecuting Attorney Mcdonald says that there was no necessity for him to attempt to secure con victions, in view of the apparent determination of the governor 10 pardon. He is sore over the action of the executive and de, clares the people of Sebastian will not approve of his move.
 The governor refused to par don Tom Renfro, convicted in Seba stlan county of seduction. He heard arguments on the matter  four different days and today several prominent, Sebastian county men appeal to him to re- lieve the young man of the sem tence. 2.
 He considered the matter care fully and declared, while there was much to favor Rentro, there was nothing to prove him guilt less of the crime, and that con- sent only operated to make the sentence less severe.
 He reduced the sentence to one year and granted respite of thirty days for Renfro to begin sentence.

NEW ARKANSAS
 NATIONAL FOREST
v..,lv a Million Acres Lying Between A,kansas and White Rivers About AS Per Cent Already Taken. Will
 Not Be affected.

secretary of the interior has an- .o,nced the creation of another ,,tionaI forest in Arkansas, ,,b,ch will he called the Ozark, and the temporary withdrawals of sol, SEQ acres therefor. The w;,bdrawals are in Johnson, Newton, Searcy, Pope, Van Rureu, Cleburne, Stone and Bdx- fer counties, and comprise 30 townships. The lands lie in the r;ttle Rock, Dardenlle and liar rison districts.
 Towns directly affected are Marshall, Big Flat, Mount View, Leslie, Clinton, Clarksville, Petit crew aud Witt Springs, having an az gregate population of 5,550 people, besides the people resid- inc on the farm lands and in the forests.
 Most of the areas included have been burned over during the past 40 years from one to 30 times. Game and fish are be- coming scarce, and the bureau purposes to cooperate with the state authorities to restore it as fine hunting and fishing grounds.
 Roads are not good drought the region, and it will be one of the functions of the forester to aid the state in building the fine highways throughout all parts of the national forest.
 The lands scale up 10 12,000 feet per acre of timber, the aver age being probably 5000. The total stand in the proposed forest is worth approximately Sl, ,500,- 900, although proper care under correct forestry will advance its value to S5, 100000.
 The forests are on the noun tains which form the divide between the headwaters of the Arkansas and White rivers, and are from 1,200 to 1,750 feet in latitude.
 Of the S00,000 acres tempo rarily withdrawH, about 45 per cent are already probably aliena- ted or taken by private persons. These lands remain unaffected by the withdra wal, expecting that all who own lands in or contagious to national forests receive the benefits of the scientific methods adopted and having the advan- tage of having the protection afforded by the patroling of tine timber areas by the forest guard and rangers.
 With the addition to Arkan- sas national forest areas there are iu the state now about 1,400,- 900 acres, excepting those lands already alienated. The Arkan- sas national forest was created temporarily June 12, aud con- prised 632 1000 acres iu Yell, Perry, Saline, Garland, Logan, Pike, Polk and Scott counties in west. ern central Arkansas. The re- port of Examiner Reynolds has not yet been handed in.
