also the first executive Of the city to
be convicted of malfeasance in Office.
He is known as the 'iddling mayor"
and when he ran for office It was pre-
dicted that If San Francisco were to
burn down he would be found, like
Nero, fddling while the flames were at
their height. But when the city by the
Golden Gate did burn down after the
awful earthquake shock the mayor
rose to the emergency. and even his
enemies credited him with acting with
creditable energy and efficiency in the
terrible crisis. When the crisis was
past, however, according to the testi-
mony of those who went on the stand
at bis trial, he yielded to the tempta-
ton to use his official power to get
money illegitimately, and hence his
downfall.
There have been many ups and

it up because of falling health and took

" Orchard. chief witness in the
Haywood trial in Idahoi
Such a question has framed
itself in the minds Of all who have
followed the developments in the great
est criminal cast in the recent history
of the west. The records of crime are
searched In vain for any parallel to
the case Of Orchard. Altogether aside
from the result Of the proceedings
against Haywood, Orchard stands con-
victed by his own testimony OF a list
of crimes absolutely unmatched. at
least in modern times. One has TO go
back to the days when inhuman mon
sters exercising despotic powers as
kings or military chieftains butchered
people by the thousand for their amuse-
ment to find any parallel to Orchard.
And even then there Is no real COM

The biuejackets, although they reached
the foot of the parapet, suffered severe

not retreat. however. but huddled
along the outer edge OF the glacis,
where the Confederates could not fire

expose themselves. Among those who

it was believed impossible that it could

There we lay" said Evans after

at us whenever they dared and our
men watching the parapet to fire at
every head that came up, for that was
our only protection against annihila-
ton. Not until the army took them IN
the rear and swept them from n
traverse after another did we feel
there was any hope to escape. We
were so close that we could sass each
other back and forth, and it certainly
had a discouraging influence upon the
fellows behind the parapets to hear
themselves damned unanimously by a

BLACK SPRINGS TOWNSHIP

H. l.. Shultz, capitalist of Indianapolis, Ind, closed deal the latter part of last week with Rowton Bros, of Black Springs, whereby he becomes the sole owner of the townsite for the new Fort Smith & Gurdon rail- road at that place.
 Mir. Shultz intends pushing the sale of lots at rapid rate, and he has appointed Victor Estes, brother-in-law of F. M. Reeves, and once a resident of this city, agent for same.
 Mir. Estes came in yesterday from Black Springs in company with Mir. Shuliz, who was on his way home, for the purpose of actively disposing of lots.
 Black Springs has a very bright future and should nothing occur to prevent it she will likely be a city of several thousand in. habitants in few years.

NOT THE
 BANK ROBBERS
Men Arrested In inc Indian Territory Could Not bc Identified as The Ones
 Who Held Up horatio Bank.

De Queen, Jan l4.-Thc three men captured in the Indian Territory, after a fight with United States marshals, in which one officer and one outlaw were wounded, prove not to have been the men who committed the robbery of the bank at Horatio, although they are being held in the belief that they are wanted elsewhere for some offense.
 Sheriff Tribble has returned from Fort Towson, where the preliminary examination of the men were held. There was no evidence to connect them with the Horstio job, but they were held for resisting officers, and for shooting a marshal, and 1t is thought 1t will soon develop that they are wanted elsewhere, as the fact that they fired upon the officers at sight is thought to indicate that they were fugi- lives from justice.

If Judge FuIkerson Is Upheld They Must Pay Depositors Sl5O, ,OOo Which Was
 Lost By Banks Failure.

Newport, Jan. 12.-The suit of $. Heineman and w. K. O'Neal against the Bank of New port, brought as test case by Senator James P. Clarke, to make the directors responsible for the losses of the depositors, came to a sudden termina ton at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when upon the conclusion of the testimony for defence Judge K. D. Fnlkerson instructed the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiffs.
 The court held that the de- Tense had failed to refute the eyi. ience of the plaintiffs, showing that the directors had not exer- cised proper diligence and given proper attention to their duties as directors.
 The plea of the defence was that the directors did not know of the banks insolvency when they continued to keep Il open tor business.
 A motion for a new trial was at once m ,de, and this will come up for hearing at Ba.esville on Monday. If the judgment of the court is sustained, the directors become liable for losses exceed ing $l50, 1000.
 The case was tried at Bates vile where it was taken on a change of venue. The trial has occupied the past two weeks.

 Senator Legate occupies a most peculiar and at times em- barrassing position.

But in ordinary cases, with full senate in case of a tie among the Demo- crats, Senator Legate has had the balance of power.
