FRANK STEWART DOES CLEVER WORK Arrests Negress, Recovers Stolen Money and Outwits
 Lceal Attorney in Short Order.
WOMAN IS JAILED
Ferlande Franks Pocket Was "Pick- ed" and He Was Kelie,cd of S,6O-- Constable Stewart Reached stolen Money First aud Lawyer Rctires.

Constable Frank Stewart, one of the shrewdest officers of the law in this section of the state, turned a little trick yesterday afternoon that result ed in a local attorney taking the count and the incarceration of Min 1 nie Hurley, d neSress, on a charge Of grand larceny.
 Within tWenty-four hours after Fernando Frank, an East Tbrd ave- nue merchant, lost $560 from his pock- ct Constable Stewart recovered $355 of the stolen money and jailed what he and Frank believe to be the guilty pickpocket
 Monday afternoon while at his store Fernando Frank missed the money. He had been waiting on a negro woman a her some dress goods, reached for his money and found it missing. The
 woman had gone. Tbe matter was inn mediately reported to the authorities
 and after getting a good description of the woman, Constable Stewart went out on determined hunt for her. He learned that she had left the city and
 after going to Little Rock, took a trip to Stamps. After tracing her tu
 Stamps he was told that the woman
 was back in this city. Stewart con- tinued to pursue her and after locat- ing the woman yesterday afternoon ef- fected her immediate arrest. After having the woman committed to jail, Constable Stewart hurried to her home at Seventh and Maple streets to search her trunk for the stolen money. He found it, at least he found $355 of it and returned to Justice Knox's court with the mute evidence.
 In the meantime Attorney Shaw, of the law firm of Nixon and Shaw, was employed by the woman, and she induced him to sign her bond. When she was freed she and Shaw hurried to her home, where the woman thought she would recover the money, but Stewart was first on the scene and they found the roll of greenbackA' missing. E.
 Attorney Shaw returned to the, citYl and later it occurred to him that the woman might make her "get away" and he would have to, pay her. bond. T. Havis Nixon and Shaw then in- vestigated the woman's' whereabouts and it is said they found her prepar- ing to leave the city. They imme- diately had her arrested and surren- dered to the officers again. Their bond was torn up. The woman is in jail and will be given a hearing before Justice Knox tomorrow morning.

INSURANCE BILL
 PASSED TUESDAY By Vote of 42 to 36-Ex- cepts From Provisions of King Anti Trust Law In- surance Companies.
DAVIS OPPOSED IT
Galleries Were Filled With Enthusi- aStic PerS0nS-NO Disorder Irnt;f the Closing tamr-Many Visitors Present-Imp0rtant Measure.

By a vote of 42 10 36 the Brown ing-Lee bill passed the house yes- tcrday after contest that had been wascd on the floor from the hour Of being called to order until , o'clock in the afternoon, and which had been an orderly session until the roll call had been announced, says the Little Rock Gazette. A tWenty-minute interval of disorder reigned following the announce ment, until it required a roll call vote to adjourn the body.
 The Browning-Lee bill excepts from the provisions of the King antitrust law such old line insur- ance companies as are not in combination to control the prices Of premiums within this state, re- gardless of their attitude in other states. Under the broad provisions of the King antitrust law no cor poration or company that was af- flliated with any organization to control prices anywhere could transact business in Arkansas.
 Senator Jeff Davis was the lead CT of the forces opposing the bill. He also took an active part in the Balch bill of similar nature which had formerly been introduced in this session.
 Throughout the entire day the galleries and all available seats on the floor were occupied by en- thusiasts attracted to witness what was admitted to be one of the tiercest floor fights that had been waged at this ession. This crowd did not represent local people, but visitors from the ranks of business men; throughout the entire state who were present to make a last ap- peal to their representatives for relief that is accorded by the re- turn of the old line fire companies to the state. q <:
 :. The entire morning was spent in quiet but :. earnest debate. Per- sonalities were never indulged throughout any part of the fight. There was never disorder until just previous to the roll call, and while Mir. Killough was attempting to make the closing argument for the bill, when Mr. Welch interrupted with pertinent reflections on the speaker for not having him after the previous question had been ordered by the house. Mr. Killough finally tired of tho Interruption and stopped abruptly. Shouts of ''roll call'. went up from all over the house. and a few minutes afterward the clerk was busy with the call.

TESTIMONY IN
CASE OF GLASS
Hearing of Evidence Against
Indicted Telephone Man Be-
gun-Heney'S Statement.

San Francisco. July 10.-Very little was
accomplished today in the trial of Louis
Glass. Assistant District Attorney Heney
made to the jury the opening statement
for the prosecution. in which he outlined
the steps by which the state expects to
prove that the vice president of the Pa
cific States Telephone company paid Su-
pervisOr Charles BoXtOn. now the tempo
rary mayor of San Francisco, a 5000
bride to vote against the Home Telephone
cOmpanyS application for a rival fran
chise. Then DR.. BoXtOn was called to the
stand. Though he is to be the star wit
ness for the people his inquisition today
was so skillfully and frequently interrupt
ed by Attorney Delmas of the defense
that when, shortly before the noon recess
he gave way temporarily to Clerk Ryan
of the board of supervisors. nothing of
vital Importance had been elected
The examination Of Mr.. Ryan, who has
served the supervisOTial bodies since 1888
was directed by the prosecution to estab-
fishing the identity of the application sub
mitted by the Home Telephone company
and was mOmentarily interrupted by Del
mas, whose views of what Heney might
and what he might not ask under the
law were at variance with the assistant
district attorneys. Minutes of the board
were under examina don for introduction
in proof of the making of that applica-
ton and the subsequent awarding of the
franchise to the Home company, when the
afternoon session was adjourned It is
expected that Acting Mayor Boxton will
tomorrow on the witness stand tell the
story of his own disgrace.

Montpelier, Ida, July 1O.-Guy Button

an abandoned coal mine near COkeville.
Wyo.. thirty miles east of here, yester-
day morning. The two men who met their
death i'm the mine were in a party of four
prospectors who were visiting various
properties near Cokeville. They were driv-
en- to this section by John Sampson of
Cokeville.
The abandoned mine they were looking
at was located by Button years ago. He
had sunk an inclined shaft to A depth Of
twelve or fourteen feet Without taking
any precautions Button slid down into
the shaft. His companions waited sew
eTal minutes but heard nothing of But
ton FOrquist then dropped in TO see what
was OBTAINING his COmTdde. He, too.
stayed down in the ilo,e.
BY this time the two remaining pros

suffOcsted. one of them tied q rope about
his body and Sampson and the other men
let him down into the shaft. He had
been lowered but a few feet when he be
When he was pulled out he was uncon-
sCiOus from the effects of the gas and
it was some minutes before he was re
stored to consciousness
After several hours work the bodies Of
the two victims were dragged out Of the
shaft. They were taken to COkeville late
this afternoon. The coroner Of Uinta COun-
