Commissioners Appointed.

The State Board of Election Com
missioners Saturday completed the
task of appointing election commits
sioners for Cleburne and Scott coun-
ties, the last counties to be taken up
We're as follows:
Cleburne-Tom Brice w. A. Cobb
and William Johnson.
Scott-R. F. Paine, w. c. Mankin
and c. A. Atkins.
The board has taken no action as
vet in the case of the Pulaski county
appointees. w. NJ. Kavaraugh and
Mayor w. G. Joslyn, both Of whom are
candidates in the coming election.
The board members stated Saturday
that they were waiting for the two
men to decide whether they desired
to withdraw as commissioners. They
stated that they understood Mayor
Joslyn would withdraw as commits
sioner. and that another Republican
would have to be appointed. but eX-
pressed the belief that Mr. Kava-
naugh would probably withdraw as
a candidate and retain his appoint
ment as commissioner.
Under the law a candidate cannot
act as election commissioner.

Showed Prisoner the Town.

A rather unusual experience is
said to have occurred to A. II. Hend-
ricks, marshal Of Waldo, while he
was in Little Rock recently Accord
ing to a report from a reliable source,
Marshal Hendricks went to Conway
county, where hes secured a prisoner
by the name of NJ Murray, who was
wanted in Waldo on the charge OF
bigamy, and started back home, stop
ping over in Little Rock Thursday
night. According to the report, the
marshal did not place his prisoner
in Jail here for safe keeping, but in
stead took him along with him while
taking in the city, with the result
that the prisoner finally made his
escape.

Negroes Duel; 6ystander Shot.

As the result of a pistol duel be-
tween Isaac Champion and Leon Isch,
negroes, at Ninth and Gaines streets
early Tuesday afternoon, ISch it at
his home at GA West Ninth street
with a bullet in his thigh and Sidney
Brown, a negro teamster. who lives
at Fourteenth and Chester, is walk
ing about the city living example
of the fact that in affairs of this sort
ii is the innocent bystander who gets
the worst of the deal
Isch runs a barber shop at Ninth
and Gaines streets, and Champion is
employed as a porter at the Marion
hotel, rooming at Ninth and lizard
Early in the afternoon Champion
was walking west on Ninth street to-
ward the barber shop, and as he near
ed the place Isch came from within.
At sight, each negro drew a pistol
and began firing Five shots were ex-
changed, and when the firing ceased
Isch was down with wound in the
thigh, Champion was running away
from the scene and Brown, the teams
ter, was staggering about with four
bullet wounds in his neck. Brown
was between the two men when the
firing began and was struck by a
stray bullet.
Isch was taken to DR.. Hayman's
office, where his wound was dressed,
and later removed to his home, where
he was placed under arrest, the
charge against him being assault to
kill.
Brown was taken to the city hos
pital, where the wounds in his neck
were attended There were four dis
tnct perforations of the skin, but
the hospital authorities declare that
they were made by one bullet, which
glanced and entered the flesh a sec
ond time. Brown walked up town
after his neck was bandaged and
seemed proud of the distinction that
came from having four holes from a
45-calibre bullet in such a vital part
of his anatomy.
Champion went to the constable S
Office Tuesday evening with F. NJ.
Fulk, his attorney, and surrendered
to Deputy Constable J. E. Runnels.
His bond was fixed at $500 for his APP
pearance before Justice Frank Martin
August TO- to answer to charge of
assault with intent to kill.

State Capital Notes
Send Prisoners Home for Sunday

Send Prisoners Home for Sunday.
That there is honor among thieves
has long been accepted as a fairly
well established theory, but that the
average female negro habitue of the
police court should respect a parole
is considered to be a little out of the
ordinary With the Little Rock pc
lice this is not considered the least
wonderful from the fact that the
custom of allowing well known negro
women prisoners to go home Saturday
night and return Monday morning.
has been followed for some time, with
out any unpleasant consequences.
That this custom has prevailed is
not generally known, however, and
the casual visitor to the city hall Sat
urday afternoon was surprised to hear
an officer giving special instructions
to a negro woman who was being told
she might go home to spend Sunday.
with the understanding that she re
port back to the city Jail Monday
morning, to complete her sentence.
This system is working most salts
factorily tc the police. especially
since the department has been moved
into the new city hall. Negro women
who are fined in police court and are
not able to pay the fine are allowed
to work out their fines in the city
hall, doing scrubbing and other labor
of this kind The police declare that
after working six days, the use OF
soap and water in generous quantities
tends to better the prisoners physical
condition materially, and for that
reason the women are encouraged to
go home for Sunday. They say that
rarely ever does a negro woman go
home Saturday night, before com
pleting her sentence, that she does
not return Monday morning to re
sumo her work If this should occur
all patrolmen are notified and within
a short time the derelict is again in
the tolls.
Another feature which appeals to
the city is that the negress feeds
herself on Sunday, whereas the city
is compelled to feed her while in the
lookup.
The ianitor at the city hall has
charge of the women who are work
ing out their fines, and he has no
trouble in keeping them at work
They are not guarded, but none have
been known to take French leave,
for they realize thoroughly that they
will be brought into court again, II
they should leave, and they have
very wholesome fear of Police Judge
Ratterree.
