The Prisoners We're
Araigned In Court
Five Out Six Sheriff Sadas Prisoners Cesses Cmayo Plea Sur
piseNeg Who Said he Was Innocent Conictd-uy Empnneed
Force Given to years Saloon Cases Called

Henry X. RhOne, announced that he
desired to change his plea of not
guilty to plea of guilty. The plea
was changed and jury trial was not
necessary.
William Gilliland, owner of the
horse stolen by Force, and several
other witnesses testified.
Gets Long Sentence.
After hearing the testimony, Judge
ShackIeford had Force to stand be-
fore the bar, and he then sentenced
him to not less than 8 years nor more
than o years in the state penitenti-
ary. This action indicated that
Force will not be turned over to the
Wyoming authorities. He must go
to the Colorado state prison.
Reed on Trial.
The negro, Ben Reed, was placed
on trial at $3.50 pm, a jury being
secured in very little time.
Verdict Set Aside.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Shack
leford rendered decision on the mo-
ton of Attorney Samuel N Wheeler
asking that the verdict rendered at
the October term of the Mesa county
court in favor of the defendant in
the suit of w. NJ White & Company
of New York against the Independ-
ent Fruit Growers Association of
this city, be set aside. 1t will be re-
membered that the New York firm
was suing the fruit growers associa-
tion for damages for failing to fill
certain orders for fruit. The jury
refused to give any damages. Now
that this verdict has been set aside,
another hearing of the suit is proba-
BILE.
Horton Didn't like It..
Sheriff Horton of Rawlings, Wyo.,
who has been endeavoring to secure
Earl Force from the local sheriff for
some days, was named as a witness
in the trial of Force this afternoon.
However, when Horton took the
stand and started in to tell about
what he knew of Forces past, At
torney Rhone objected and Judge
Shackleford would not let Horton
proceed, and he had to leave the
witness stand. When Sheriff Hor-
ton left the court room he remarked:
well. that old fellow (meaning the
judge) hasn't got many hairs on his
head; but what he. has stick straight
out"
Sheriff Horton seems considerably
chagrined over not being able to Sc
cure Force.
Reed is Convicted.
After being out about 40 minutes
the jury in the case of Ben. Reed,
charged with stealing a watch, re-
turned a verdict of guilty. This
means that all six of the prisoners
in the county jail will be given pen

SPECTACLE OF CARNAGE.
+ + +++ + I. + + + !. +

When the fourth bull had been
killed, yesterday, at the characters
tic spectacle which the citizens of
Lima arranged for the entertainment
of the officers and crews of the
United States warships, Rear Ad-
mirals Thomas, Sperry and Emory
rose hurriedly and left President
Pardo's private box. The first three
bulls were dispatched without injury
to the human combatants, but when
the fourth bull dashed into the ring
he savagely attacked one of the mat
adors, goring the man in the neck
SO severely that he will probably die
1t was after the exhibition had taken
this unfortunate turn that the Amer
lean admirals concluded they had
seen enough.
There was time when all pro-
fessors of the art of war were Injured
to scenes of carnage. That was when
when officers actually used their
swords. Now great deal of the
most important part of great engage
ments may be at a distance at which
it is impossible to clearly discern Ine
enemy without glass. Wars are
over in a short time now; formerly
they lasted SO long that those en-
engaged in them became habituated
to their grim conditions.
The people of the Peruvian capital
are said to be breathless at the
breach of etiquette involved in the
abrupt departure of guests from an
international entertainment planned
especially to do them honor. There
are phases of the great cruise of the
fleet which approach nearer to the
ridiculous than the sublime.-Mil-

ONLY A PITTANCE
FOR LIFE SAVERS

The men in the life-saving service
risk their lives in these years of
peace as the soldiers of the army and
men of the marines and the navy do
in time of war.
At this season of the year they
are in constant peril along our coasts
and the shores of our great lakes.
Their pay is small. The president
says that the surfmen do not aver
age more than $50 a month. For
this pittance they constantly face
death to save the lives of ship
wrecked mariners and imperiled pas
sengers. Thousands are preserved
annually by them from watery
graves and millions of dollars of
property rescued from destruction.
If soldiers and sailors of army and
navy are worthy of retirement pay at
Il stated age, the men of the life
saving service are even moro entitled
to it.-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

Young Negro A,naigned.

Ben Reed, charged with stealing
watch. entered plea of not guilty.
There are two counts in the informa-
ton against him.
Earl Force asked for Attorney
Rhone to defend him, and Mr.. Rhone
was appointed by the court.
Ben Reed asked for Attorney Roz-
zelle to defend him, and Mr.. Roz-
zelle was appointed to look after the
defendants interests.
Force Trial This Afternoon.
The trial of Earl Force was then
set for pm. today.
Saloon Cases Called.
The cases, continued from last
term of court, in which j. E. Dull
maine, T. d. Reames, Gail C. Muir
ray and Arthur Connelley, are
charged with the violation of the
midnight closing ordinance, were
called this morning by Judge Shack
leford. 1t was announced that At
torney Thomas C. Brown, who rep
resented the defendants at the last
term of court, was dead District
Attorney Selig stated that he had
been informed that Attorney Samuel
n. Wheeler had been retained by the
saloon men. Mr.. Wheeler was sent
for. He stated that he had not been
definitely engaged.
> Judge Shackleford announced that
he would let the cases rest until this
afternoon. He was somewhat an
gered over the fact that the defend
ants were not in attendance at court
this morning and declared that they
must be present this afternoon.
Criminal Docket Called.
Just before the noon hour the
criminal docket was called, there be-
ing several criminal cases continued
from last court and several defend
ants having waived formal arraign-
ment.
1t was decided to have the Force
trial first; then the trial of Ben Reed,
the negro.
1t is very probable that all the
criminal cases will be disposed of by
the end of the week.
Guilty Men Examined.
Glen Tyre and John Hummell, the
holdups, and William Mack and, John
Mayo, the horse thieves, all having
plead guilty, were examined this
morning, and i'm each case several
witnesses were introduced to relate
the details of the crimes, all of which
details are familiar to Sentinel read
ers.
These examinations required only
hrisf time.
The prisoners will be sentenced a
short time before the court adjourns
for the term.

ARID REGION HoMEsTEADs.

1t is probable that a committee of
western senators and representatives
will soon prepare a bill to authorize
the location and entry of homesteads
of more than 160 acres on nOn-irri-
gable land within the arid states.
The enactment of a law of this
kind would recognize the fact that
160 acres of arid or semi-arid land
cannot be made to produce enough
under ordinary methods of farming
to provide a settler with the revenue
needed to support his family. In or
der to establish homes on the public
domain farmers must be able to pro-
duce enough on their homesteads to
maintain themselves; and hence 1t
will be good policy for the govern
ment to authorize the location and
entry of more than 160 acres in ev-
cry claim.
Should the western members agree
to push a bill of the kind contem-
plated it probably would be passed,
for eastern members would accept
the views of members from the west
as correct representation of the
situation In respect to the establish
ment of homesteads on the non-irri-
gable lands of the arid states.
Opposition to any sucn measure
may be looked for from advocates of
the policy of leasing the grazing
lands. The location of homesteads
on lands which the cattlemen wish
to lease would interfere with the
leasing system, although 1t would
promote the settlement of the pub
lie land states. The interests of the
far west call for homesteaders ra-
ther than for great leaseholds to be
occupied by herds of cattle, and,
therefore. the right to locate larger
homesteads should be permitted

A. T. Stewart, at one time the greatest merchant Ill New York city, and was to have been used i'll new store building being erected by him Tn New York. For some reason the front was not accepted by Stewart and was purchased by the builder Of the Capital hotel.
 \ few years after the building was erected, Judge Watkins fore closed a vendors lien which he held on the property and bought 1t in at the sale. At his death the property, by his will, passed into the possession of his three daughters, and 1t renamed in their possion until d short time ago.
 The building was converted in-  to hotel short time after Judge Watkins became the own- CT of the property, extensive al terations being made by the new owner.
 Many of the stirring scenes ot the Brooks-Bdxter war were enacted in front of the building. It formed the dividing line be- tween the eontending forces and the middle ground, immediately ln front of the present hotel en- trance was occupied by the feder- al troops who were attempting to prevent a clash between the Brooks and Baxter forces.

FIRE SCARE IN
 SPRINGDALE YESTERDAY,

The residence of E. B. Gum mings in the west part of town caught fire yesterday about twelve o'clock. The fire was sit uated in the attic, above the kitchen, and was caused from a defective flue from the cooking stove. Mir. Cummings happened to be al home, and he succeeded In stopping the fire from spread ing until help arrived, when the flames were extingulshed without a great amount of damage being done. Most of the damage was to furniture from water and ll- quid used in the fire extinguish- CTS.
 When the fire alarm was first sounded many people went 10 the residence of c. w. kennan, hay ing understood that IL was his house that was on fire. The mistake was readily discovered, and soon there were enough men and boys on hand at MT. Gum mings place to have put out al- most any ordinary fire.

 CARS PEACHES
That is the Number Shipped, Bringing Into the Community
 More Than $3l, ,000.

At the time of going to press ffty-one cars of peaches have been shipped from Springdale, and 1t IS expected that another Car will be shipped to-day mak- ing 5 cars for the season. Of these, four were shipped by the Farmers Union and the balance by the Peach Growers Exchange Practically everything was sold on the track here, and nothing was sold below % cents, and from that up to SIPS. The bulk of the crop sold at the latter price.
 A car of peaches contains an average of about 600 crates. so 1t can be seen that the peach crop brought 10 this community something over S31, ,00o, which Is not bad for hard year. Growers here realized consider ably better prices than growers in the southern part Of the state, as the crop here was ready for the market just at a time when there were not many peaches going on the market from other sections.

THE OLD CAPITAL HOTEL Passing of Arkansas Famous H0stlery at Little
 Rock.

The passing of one of the most famous and historic hostel ries in the state of Arkansas is heralded by the announcement that the old Capital hotel of Little Rock "ill close its doors tonight. There are many older buildings III Little Rock but there are none which have been more closely connected with the public life of the state during the past 40 years.
 For nearly half a century, pre- vious to the opening of the new Hotel Marion, the Capital was the leading hotel of Little Rock. During all that time 1t was the political headquarters of the state, and within its walls has been settled the deSt1nies of al- most every politician that has sought office in Arkansas during the past 40 years. If walls had mouths as we'll as ears, those of the old Capital hotel could tell tales which would be more inter- esting than any history ever written. From rooms Tn the Capital have been pulled wires which have elected governors, presidents of the Senate and speakers of the House of Repre- sentatlves, to say nothing of numerous other officers of ma lor or minor importance. More of the states history has probably been made Tn the seclusion of the Capital hotel rooms than in the legislative halls of the state house.
 One of the most famous politi- cal battles which were waged within the walls of the old hotel was that between J. D. Walker of Fayetteville and K. w. John- son, father of Col. Ben $. Johnson of this city, who were candidates for the United States Senate iu 1879, to succeed the Republican incumbent, Stephen w. Dorsey. Walker had headquarters in one end of the hotel and Johnson in the other and from their respec- tive rooms the campaign was directed. This campaign, which resulted in victory for Walker, was one of the most memorable political campaigns in the his- tory of the state. This was only one of innumerable political bat ties that were waged in the old hotel.
 The Capital has also been the temporary home of many distin- guished citizens of the United States. President Grant was en- tertalned at the Capital on the occasion of his visit to Little Rock, and practically every prominent man who has visited the city in the past 40 years has been guest at the hotel.
 The building, which has been known as the Capital hotel for so many years, was not original ly built as a hotel. The ground on which the building stands be- longed originally to Judge George (. Watkins, former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas. He sold the property to w. r. Denckla of New York. one of the builders of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad. In 1s7ODenckla erected building which was intended to be used for stores and offices. The building when erected was three stories in height. Later, fourth story was added and still later, only a few years ago, an addition was built on the rear of the building.
 It IS said that the iron front of the building was constructed for
