F0R ABOLITION
 IF WARNER COURT House Passes the Bill With out Explanation of Oppo sition, the Incident Being Unusual.
"A ONE MANS TOWN"
Residents of Lincoln County Write the Graphic and Give Their Reasons for Urging the Ab0lishment of the Warmer Court.

Without any explanation or discus
 son. the House yesterday morning
 passed bill which abolishes the Var ner district in Lincoln county. The Ibill was read twice when it was in- 1 troduced and nothing more was heard of it. until that morning when t was called up for final action. The author of the measure was not even called upon to explain the reasons for the abandonment of the district and the bill was read the third time and passed without any discussion. This
 procedure is unusual in the passage of bills of that character, as there is us- ually much opposition to either the establishment or abandonment of a judicial district in any county. No
 protests had been made against the bill, however, and it attracted little attention even among the members of the House.
 The Graphic this morning received the following communication from residents of Tyro, Lincoln county, in which they give their reasons for urging the abolishment of the Lincoln circuit court at Warner The letter is signed by E. T. Smith, w. B. Hub
 bard, Doctor J. D. Watts, J. P. Col yns, former representative; I. R. Haygood, M. L. Phillips, Rufus Collins, T.. s. Timer, E. G. Anderson and A. B. Nuckols
 Editor Graphic: We notice in your paper short article in which it is stated that certain politicians are try ing to have the Warner district abol- ished, etc.
 Permit us to say as citizens and property holders of the Warner dis trict that the petition for the abolition of the Warner district originat ed wholly among the citizens of said dis trict from a belief in a principle that I it was for the best interest of ma
 jority of the people of the Warner dis trict and the county as a whole; and that there is no politics in. the matter of abolishing the district, but bus;- ness principle.
 We do not believe in trusts and IS Warner is one mans town, with only
 one hotel, with rates higher than the average country man of the district can pay, and in consequence the ma- jority of the jurors have to camp in the court house, and in winter the
 season is very bad and disagreeable, and that such things as these should not exist is the motive that prompted the steps to be taken to abolish the district"

 The petition, asking for the for nation Of an Improvement district for the paving of East Third ave hue, between Georgia and Linden streets and Walnut street. between Second and iSxth avenues; Georgia street, between Second and Third avenues and Alabama street be- tween Second and Fourth avenues was read. The petition was granted, notwithstanding the fact that an opposition petition was presented by property-owners on West Third ave hue, between Main and Chestnut streets.
 The ordinance was read the sec ond time and was placed on the calendar with unfinished business.
 Judge NJ. A. Austin gave a re- port of the work done by the com mittee which is securing signers for the majority petition for the or ganlzation of the improvement dis trlct for municipal ownership of water and light plant His ex- planation of the measure, which is to be presented to the legislature. was not thoroughly understood by some of the councilmen and MT. Austin was asked to read the bill. It was amended in one or two places and will be placed before the legis- lature i'll a day or two.
 MT. Austin also asked that the commissioners named at the recent mass meeting be increased to seven members. Doctor J. F. Simmons, one of the commissioners, refused to sign the petition, therefore, it was stated he could not serve as one of the commissioners. The number was increased to seven by the council. The commissioners are: A. Brewster, w. N. Trulock, E. ,B. fBloomt James Gould, E. c. Howell, J. E. Boyce and J. s. Ingram.

HUCGARD LIES
 IN HOSPITAL Former Pine Bluffian Who Was Shot at Marshall. Texas, Continues to I'm prove-Operated On.
STORY OF TRAGEDY
First Time the Two Had Met Since Huggard Shot and Killed Young McClanaghan - Warrant Issued Against Elder McCIanagIan.

John l.. Huggard, who killed Wal- ter 5. Rockingham Jr., February 5. and was shot down by the elder Me- Clanaghan Friday evening at Marshall. Texas, will recover from his wounds unless unexpected complications set ln' according tc the opinion of Doc- tor J. A. Moore, chief surgeon of the Texas and Pacific hospital, where the wounded man is being treated.
 Sheriff c. w. Munden swore out an affidavit against McClanaghan, charg- Ing him with assault to murder, says the Marshall Sun. The warrant was 1 issued by Justice s. F. Perry and the prisoner remanded to jail. At the time he was shot, Huggard was returning from work at the Texas and Pacific shops. The stories of bystanders as to whether or not he was armed, con- f1ict. Some say that Huggard was at- tempting to draw revolver when Me- Clanaghan fired, and that the weapon was taken by friend. Others, equal- ly positive, state that Huggard was unarmed. He had no weapon when taken in charge by the hospital au- thorities. The original trouble was a family matter which resulted in Hug gard killing the junior McClanaghan in saloon here February 5. The two men were felloW-Workmen in the rail- road shops, and were reputed friends up to the time of the killing.
 Huggard's trial was set for last Thursday, but was continued until the next term of the district court by consent of counsel for both sides. Pending trial, Huggard had been re- leased on $2,0o0 bond
 Young McClanaghan was an only son, and his father had been breeding over the tragic death. it is said. Fri day was the first time the elder Nc Clanaghan and Huggard had met, it is said, since the latter was released on bond.
 Huggard was seen by a Sun reporter at the hospital Saturday. He cannot speak, owing to the wound in the mouth, but can write, and was per- fectly conscious. When asked for a statement, he slgnified that he had none to make. Rockingham, seen in the county jail by Sun reporter, de- cliend to be interviewed, merely stat ing that he had nothing to say on the subject.
 In an interview yesterday, Mrs. Me- Clanaghan stated that Friday at noon Mir. McClanaghan concluded to take trip to Jefferson and spend day or two with his brother-in-law, B. c. Pauley. His return was unexpected. Mrs. McClanaghan did not know of her husbands presence in the city un- 1 til informed of the shooting, when she hurried to the county jail.
 Huggard is about 2 years of age, and has been in Marshall about five

FAVORING HINEMON
 AS NEXT GOVERNOR

When J. H. Hinemon becomes a can didate for Governor, Or any other of- flee, we will be for him, it makes no difference who is a candidate against him. We would favor J. H. Hinemon against the balance of the state We believe he is as near our ideal of a
 man as we have ever seen. He is educated-pOilshed, shows the highe st type of refinement and highminded- ness. We would be proud of him as Arkansas representative in any com pany in whichs he might be thrown, in gathering of ordinary laborers
 or one of the most learned men of all the nations of the world. Hinemon is a man with many noble qualities,
 and also possesses good, hard horse
 sense. Give us men like him in all
 the offices of the state and Arkansas
 would soon be the light of the nation. |-Harrisburg Modern News

 Each staff officer, if practicable, IS requested to be in uniform and join in the parade. All who will partici- pate in the parade are requested to notify Lieut.. Col Green, chief quar- termaster, as soon as possible, who will engage mounts for those so noti- flying him.
 Officers and comrades of each camp should provide for their own quarters and should write Chas. T. Lohe., chairman of Committee on information and quarters, Richmond, Va, during the reunion, May 30, 3l and June 1, and 3, inclusive.
 The quarters of the Second brigade will be at the Jefferson hotel and all staff officers are requested to report there immediatly upon arrival for reg istration and orders.
 The Cotton Belt railway has been selected as the official route of the J Ed Murray camp and the Second brigade will also use this line as it's official route as far as St. Louis. This old time friend of the U. c. V's. of this section will run splendidly equip ped train via St. Louis and Cincin- nati. District Passenger Agent w. C. Peeler of Memphis, whom great many of our old comrades will re- member as being a veritable prince of good fellows, will accompany the train. He is a walking encyclopedia of railway information and his pres ence will add much to the pleasure of the trip.
 A competent committee has been appointed to select the route over which our special will pass after leav- ing St. Louis,, and the schedule will be so arranged as to insure a daylight run over and through the magnificent mountain scenery of Virginia.
 All camps of the Confederate Vet erans, whether in the assigned limits of the Second brigade or not, and all Confederate Veterans, their wives and families and all friends of the cause are cordially invited to make their arrangements to go with the Second brigade. This reunion at Richmond will be the greatest ever yet held and none is likely to be so important Or extensive as this one, the chief object being to take part in unveiling the monument to the only President of the Southern Confederacy, Hon. Jeffer- son Davis.
 The intentions at present are that this special train composing the Sec ond brigade will go to the Jamestown Exposition from Richmond, the cost of which will be nominal and the purposes are to SO arrange as for the delegation to spend day Or two days at Jamestown. This, however, will be later determined, but it is almost sure that the train will go to Jamestown with the delegation of the Second brigade.
