Boy Accidentally Shot.

Ollie Rosser, 10 years of age, son
of w. B. Rosser, who lives at Bee
ton, four miles north of Cotton Plant,
was dangerously hurt Tuesday after
noon by the accidental discharge OF
a pistol The ball, which was of Al
caliber, penetrated the wall of the abb
domen and came out at point on
the shoulder.
The accident occurred about 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. At the
time Rosser was riding mule, and,
in attempting to remove his coat,
the lining caught the trigger of the
pistol and caused the weapon to fire.
After being taken to his home, it was
decided to send the boy 10 Little Rock
for treatment in a hospital.
At the hospital, an examination OF
the wound was made and it was stat
ed that the stomach had not been per-
forated by the bullet There is an
injury to one lung which may prove
serious and while the wounds are not
necessarily fatal, his condition is re-
garded as grave.

Hettiger Again Arrested.

Not long after w. V. Hettiger, man
ager of the Lyric moving picture show
at Ninth and Arch streets, was re-
leased from jail, Tuesday having Sc
cured bond pending payment of the
$1,000 fine imposed on him by JUS
tice E. H. Sanders Monday, he was
9earrested on the same charge of OBJ
scenity, and on furnishing $500 bond
he was allowed to go free until his
hearing on the second charge takes
place before Justice Sanders next
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The
bond in the first case was $4,000,
which was signed by 7. E. Helm, who
also signed he bond for the $500.
The manager of the show was seen
Tuesday night and expressed conf
dence that the higher court would not
sustain the charge of obscenity for
having displayed the Autograph of a
negro and a mulattO show girl cake
walking together. He admitted that
the display Of the pictures was per-
haps indiscreet, because of the fact
that persons passing on the car might
think the mulatto to be white wom-
an, but he thought that few would
come to such a conclusion on closer
examination.

WONDERED WHY

I was always so pale, thin and weak.

Woman Bound to Bed With Wire.
Mrs. Newton Petit, wife of a
respected workman employed by a
Hot Springs numbering concern had
terrifying experience at her home
Wednesday and that she is now alive
is no fault of an unknown assailant,
who, after beating her almost into
insensibility, thrust rag saturated
with a solution of poison into her
mouth, bound her securely to her bed
with wire and then placed number
of matches in her mouth so that they
would become ignited if she moved
her head Two hours after Mrs
Petit had been bound and gagged
her husband returned home from
work and released her. On being re-
leased she fell into a faint, and is now
in dangerous condition from ner-
yous exhaustion.
Mrs. Pettit's experience is con
sidered by the police to furnish one
of the most remarkable examples OF
bold criminality that has ever been
shown in Hot Springs. After she had
been beaten terribly the man at
tempted to force her to swallow a
greenish liquid which she thought to
be poison. He then bound her to the
bed, put a rag saturated with some
LIQUID in her mouth, and, after plac,
ing the matches in her mouth, hur-
yiad1v loft the hOuSp
Mrs. Petit was unable to furnish
a description of her assailant except
as to size She is certain the man
wore a false mustache and beard as
he constantly pressed these dis
guises against his face, in order to
keep them in place.
With no clue to work on, the police
began a search for Hank McDaniels
former husband of Mrs. Petit, who
it is said, has caused her trouble III
the past. McDaniels was arrested
some time after Mrs. Petit was dis
covered tied to the bed, but was
later released, after he had been
brought face to face with the woman
She failed to identify him as her as
sailant and he proved an alibi.
An examination of the cloth thrust
into Mrs Pettits mouth was made
by City Chemist Cook and after two
tests he stated that it had been satur'
ated with arsenic before being
placed in her mouth.

Charles Mulligan, who were standing
in a field near the roadway. When
the young lady stopped her horse the
negroes jumped over the fence and
advanced toward her, one of them
saying, Let us ride with you, hon

meanor of the men alarmed Miss Sha-
die and she struck her horse a sharp
blow with the whip, causing it to bolt
and run away. Some distance from
the negroes she was thrown from her
buggy. Her clothing caught as she
fell, and she was dragged some dis
lance, but when she disentangled her.
self she ran to the home of a farmer
named Hughes and gave the alarm.
Hughes caught her horse, drove
back to the place where the negroes
had halted Miss Shade, but they had
gone. The news spread quickly in
the neighborhood, and a number of
farmers organized a posse, which
trailed the negroes to the Arkansas
river, where they were captured. They
were taken to England and put in
the calaboose.
The offense of the negroes caused
angry mutterings in England, and JUS
tice of the Peace Morris, in order to
be prepared for emergencies, ordered
Constable Dickie to take the prisoners
into the country and guard them dur
ing the night Tuesday morning it
was deemed best to hurry the negroes
away, and they waived examination
and were taken to Lonoke, where
they were placed in jail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.

State Capital Notes

Boil WeevI Found Near Little Rock.
What is believed to be one of the
largest boil weevils that has come
under the observation of the state
agricultural department was left at
that Office Saturday by G. w. Turbe-
vile of No. 1924 lizard street. The
weevil was found in an orchard not
far from his place
The two sons of Mr. Turbeville dis
covered the insect in a basket Of
plums they had gathered in a field
on Fourche about quarter of a mile
from their residence. 1t is believed
the weevil had been feeding on the
plums in the Fourche orchard. 1t Is
nearly twice the size of the ordinary
cotton boil weevil, and for this reason
it was suspected at first that it must
be of another species, but closely re-
lated to the dreaded cotton weeyil.
It's actions and movements were in
every respect similar to those of the
weevil The wings and sharp-pointed
bill correspond exactly to those of the
other, and in addition to this there
was tiny gray streak down its back
similar to the one found on the backs
Of the cotton boil weevil
At first William Stoddard, deputy
commissioner of agriculture and Joe
NJ. Moore, fertilizer inspector of the
department, had their doubts as to its
being a genuine boil weevil. 1t was
the size of the insect that caused the
two officials to hesitate in pronounc-
ing it a cotton boil weevil. Placing
it under a magnifying glass, these
doubts were removed and both de-
clared it to be a boil weevil and the
largest they had ever seen.

A. j. Lawler, residing near Buena

den Saturday that had five we'll de-
veloped feet. The left front leg was
normal to the knee. There two legs
were formed, both of even size with
hoofs touching the ground. In every

A local veterinarian amputated the
extra fore leg at the knee, and the
animal was able to travel to its home
nine miles from Camden, after the

Critical Eve for Babies.

The five-year-old daughter of a

experience of dolls that she feels her
self to be something of a connoisseur
in children.
Recently there came a real live ba-

When it was put into her arms the
fiye-year-old surveyed it with a criti-
cal eye.
Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the
nurse.
Yes, it's nice answered the young
