DECISION IS
 UP TO LUDWIG

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-Special. Secretary of State Ludwig will today make up his list of the house and senate for the next session of the legislature, and much interest is being centered in the roll call, to see if Judge o. H. Sumpter or Charles D. Greaves, will appear for Garland and Montgomery coun- ties, and J. H. Holland or Thomas Boles for Sebastian. It is conced- ed that Secretary Ludwig will place both Democrats, Sumpter and Hol land, upon the list, and then the fun will begin. Boes has no cer- tifcate of election, and there is nothing for the secretary of state to do but to place the name of Hol- land on the roll call, but Greaves and Sumpter both holding certif- cates from the election commission CTS of Garland county, puts it up to the secretary of state to choose between them. Greaves called up on Secretary Ludwig Saturday and urged the decision to be made Monday, which Secretary Ludwig said he would do.
 If the name of Sumpter goes on the roll call, Greaves will start le- gal proceedings to mandamus Sec retary Ludwig to place his name on the roll call. This means much in this contest, for if Sumpter does not appear at the opening roll call, there will be no forum for his con- test for the seat. The commission CTS of Garland county first certified the election of Sumpter to the sec retary of state. Under mandamus they made a new return showing the election of Greaves. There was an error in this and new cer- tihcate was made, showing the election of Greaves by II8 votes, but immediately after making the second certificate, two of the con- missioners, Craigh cad and Cowles, resigned and their resignation was accepted by Gov. Pindall, and the claim is now made that the last re- turn was not legal, hence Sumpter still stands as the successful candi- date.

DEATH FROM
 NATURAL CAUSE

Little Rock, Dec. I4.-Special. What promised to be sensation Saturday night in the death of pretty Nealy Wray, Y year old young lady of the city, became only an ordinary death when the coroner's jury completed its in vestigations yesterday. Tue girl died at the home of a sister, under suspicious circumstances, and only short time before her death, spoke to younger sister, saying she had been prompted to take poison. A post moltem examina- ton failed to disclose the presence of any poison in the system of the deceased, the jury returning yer dict of death from natural causes.
 The report Saturday night was that the girl had loved too well and not wisely, and at the instiga- ton of her sweetheart, had taken poison to hide her shame. It was expected the coron CTS jury would disclose the identity of the youth responsible for the death of the girl, but it did not, though the condition of Miss Wray had much to do with her death.
