 AN IOWA MAN WANTED.
 One of the recent official acts of Governor Pindall was the re- offering of a re ward of $2, 300 for the arrest of J. F. Dunn, wanted , for the murder of Sheriff Powers at Clarksville number of years ago. Dunn was arrested several years ago in Kansas but escaped from the hospital where he was taken there, being severely wound ed by the officers. The item of the reward was noticed by H. U. Funk, a member of the law firm Funk and Funk of this city, who recalled the fact that Dunn was formerly a resident of Audubon, Iowa, and that he had been sev. eral times called upon to defend him in the criminal courts there. Dunn had the reputation of being a tough customer from his boy hood days and the news of his trouble in Arkansas did not greatly surprise his former neighbors.
 DROWNED IN A CAN OF MOLASSES The 11-months old baby of MT. Henry Sneed, who lives about five miles north of Camden, Ark. drowned June 16 in gallon lard can which contained five gallons of molasses. The molasses was bought few days since and was put in the lard can and plac- ed in the kitchen of the the Sneed home. Sunday Mrs. Sneed was preparing dinner and had her baby in the kitchen with her. She went to the we'll to draw a bucket of water and before re- turning to the house stopped in the garden to gather some vege- tables. When she returned to the house about ten minutes after she had left it she was mortified to see the feet of her baby stick ling out of the molasses in the lard can. She hastily grabbed the child from the can, but it was dead. The baby could hardly toddle. It crawled across the floor, pulled itself up by placing hands on the edge of the can, and then toppled over into the molases.

The state pen- itentiary board met Thurs day in special session, and considered the matter at length. The board decided to give to each a holiday on July 4, requiring nc work to be done, except to care for the stock and the necessary work of feeding the prisoners, and 10 give tEe entire number a dinner in keeping with the im- DO .tance of the day. In addition cool soft drinks will be dispensed and the day will be made as pleasant as is possible. This has been the custom of the board for a number of years, but at it's last meeting by some means it was overlooked, and as special meeting was to be held to con- slider some other matters it was decided to carry out the plans which have been followed in the past, and give the men as good time on Indepence as is possible. The board at the same time passed a resolution to the effect that the contract between the State of Arkansas and the Arkansas Brick & Manufacturing
