MYSTERY SHROUDS
 ATTACK ON WOMAN
Staggers Into House at Hot Springs Half Unconscious Believed to Be the Victim of Foul
 Play.

Hot Springs, June 10, Shroud cd in deepest mystery is the ex- perieuce of Mrs. Pearl Gibbons, a young widow of this city, who IS proprletress of a cigar stand. Tuesday morning she left her home about 9 o'clock to 20 to het daily work. When she had not returned last night, alarm was fclt and an investigation re- gealed the fact that she had uot been at her work during the day.
 At 9 o'clock last night she staggered onto the porch of the home of sister on Henderson avenue. batefooted, her clothing torn to shreds and her mind clouded so that she was unable to tell what had happened. Her throat bore large black marks, indicating that she had been severely choked and her body had been beaten in spots. She has not yet been able to give any ac
 count of her experiences, and only exclaims at any unusual noise about the room. "Here they come, here they come.
 The woman's brothers believe that she has been the victim of hends, whose probably object was robbery, but who beat her to the present condition when she offered a defense. She had a pocketbook containing S35 when she left home. and she had uoih' Ing when she staggered home half unconscious in the night. Officers are at work on the case, but expect to have no satisfactory clue until the woman recovers sufficiently to relate her story.

AMONG THE OLD SOLDIERS.
J. H. Naler Writes of the Pleasure:
 at the Confederate Reunion.

Birmingham, Ala, June, 10. Editor Star:
 There are 10000 ex-Confeder- ate soldiers mixing, mingling, shedding tears of joy, and having a good time here today. While I was not old enough to be sol disr at the time the war broke out, enjoy seeing these old peo- pie having such good time and my heart and b. s wishes are for them. Birming ham is showing them that their prcseuce IS ap- preciated.
 l am enjoying myself immense ly. l met some old friends here from Texas and expect to meet some from Georgia. l am being cared for by my good friend, J. E. Disheroon, who has sister living here. Since arriving here I have only met one friend from Mena and that was John H. II hamilton and he seems to be en- loving himself also. He told me he had just had the pleasure of meeting two old soldiers who were in his fathers company and as he told me 1 could see tears in his eyes.
 It is a pleasure to attend such meeting as this, for at all times YOU can see old comrads meet, who have probably not seen each other for years, and when they talk about the reminescences Of var times their eyes are always filled with tears.
 Have just met three old rela- lives from Raleigh, N C., who, during the war beat the drums and blowed the flies. They arc J. I. Lewis, w. 1T. Johnson and w. B. Royester. They have their drums aud flies with them and il is certainly grand to hear them play "Dixie" and "The Girl Lett Behind Me"

BUCHANAN HOLDS
 SHEPIFF'S OFFICE
Simon Cooper. Who Was Appointed by Governor Pindall Makes No At tempt to Resume His Duties
 As Sheriff.

Hot Springs, June 10,-Antici- pated opposition on the part of Simon Cooper and his friends to A. $ Buchanan when the latter assumed the duties of sheriff, did not develop today. Buchanan, who was recognized Tuesday night by the court as sheriff of Garland county, acted as sheriff today and Cooper. who has been appointed sheriff by the governor, made no attempt to interfere.
 Cooper announced today that Governor PlndalI would decide whether he should endeavor to cxerelse any authority under the commission given him. f the governor desires to make an issue of the matter. MT. Cooper de- cIares that he will put the matter in the hands of hls attorneys and act as they think best. What Governor Pindall will do Is not known. It Is believed, however, that he will attempt to back up his own action in issuing the com mission, and in that event the courts will have to decide whether Cooper. holding the governor $ commission, is sheriff, or Buch- anan, whom the court recognized as sheriff, k the legal holder of that office.
 Governor Pindall left Fayctte- vllle yesterday noon for Little Rock, but he had not arrived there at a late holr tonight, and efforts to intercept him and learn his plans in the present contro- versy proved fruitless.
 Further Delay Expected.
 Practically the only action of importance taken today in the Buchanan Williams case was that of Judge Evans, who rescinded his own action of the previous day in refusing to grant Williams a change of venue. It was found that under the law the request for change of venue should have been granted, and there was no other course open to the court. Com sequently Judge Evans today re- versed his decision in that respect. Williams attorneys were not present, however, and as there was no request made today for q change of venue the judge set the case for hearing at the September term in the Garland County Cir cut Court.
 This action will probably result Tn further delay. The case will not come up until the term of office over which the litigation has been brought has expired, and it is probable that when the case is brought up Williams will ask tor change of venue, which would mean the postponement of the hearing of the case until the court to which the case is taken sits Tn later session. In this way the case may be delayed for a year or possibly two years.
 Cooper Not Eager to Contest.
 Simon Cooper the governor s appointee to the office of sheriff, in his statement today, declared that he has no disposition to at- tempt .o hold the office, and al- though he personally believes his authority is supreme over that of Buchanan, who is the court $ sheriff, he will not contest the issue as much for himself as tc satisfy any desire that Governor Piudall may have to carry througt hlS action in commissioning him
 The suggestion rhst Goverhol Plndall may call out the troops tC enforce his act in commissioning Cooper Is given but little serious thought here.

Peach Crop Around Grannis Looks Good Now Fear Wet Weather and
 Brown Rot.

The peach orchards around Grannis are generally in fine con- dition this year, though the trees are not heavily loaded. This, however, will tend to make the fruit very fine and will probably bring larger returns than would a heavier crop of smaller fruit.
 The peaches are very large, and it is expected that picking will be under good headway be July 10.
 The curculio is singing seme of the peaches, this seemingly ly being worse iu the lower lands and less on the ridges. The ono fear or the growers is the brown roi, which is sure 10 develop if the rains do not cease, There has been almost no spraying done in this section this year,

 infectious fluid, which, instead of nouriShing the flores and tissues of the flesh, irritates and ulcerates them, and continually discharges it's impurities into the open sore, and prevents the place from heal ing. Another cause for bad blood is the retention in the system of the refuse and waste matters of the body. Those members whose duty it is to carry off the useless accumulations, become dull and sluggish in their action and leave ;heir work imperfectly done, and shis fermenting matter is absorbed into the circulation. The weaken ing or polluting of this vital fluid may also come from the results of some constitutional disease, while persons who are born with an hereditary blood taint are very apt to be afflicted with sores and ulcers.
