Whiakey and Bananas Kill.

D. J. Lockwood, 90 years old, a men- Der of the Bartenders' Union, who has been tending bar in various saloons of Little Rock for more than a year. died very suddenly at o'clock Sun day afternoon at his room 115 1-2 West Fifth street, and according to the opin- ion of Coroner s. P. Vaughter his death was caused by eating banana shortly after drinking whiskey.
 Bananas and whiskey when taken in- to the stomach at the same time are said to create a poison which is dead ly. Dr. Vaughter stated that such was the case, and stated unofflcilly that he believed the mans death was caused by just that combination in the stom- ach.
 A coroners jury held an inquest over the dead man and returned a verdict of death from some unknown cause" Coronor Vaughter stated Sunday night that he might hold an autopsy to de- termine the exact cause of the death.
 The circumstances surrounding the death of Lockwood substantiate the story of Coroner Vaughter. Lockwood is said to have been in i'll health for some time, but was not considered in a critical condition. Sunday he went to the Grand Central hotel for dinner and seemed as well as usual. He is said to have taken some whiskey af tetr dinner and returned to his room. A man named Miller, laborer who rooms in the same building, went in- to his room and Lockwood is said to have asked him to get sme bananas, as he felt hungry. Miller is said to have brought two, which he gave to Lockwood, who ate one of them.
 Miller left the room and in a few minutes heard Lockwood grooming. He ran into the room and found Lock- wood on the bed with his head between his knees, apparently in great pain. Miller immediately called a physician, but the man died befre the physician arrived

Gotten Brings $63,741.51

Final settlement in the state farm cotton sale was made Monday by the Pine Bluff cotton buying firm which recently purchased the cotton, and s63,741.51 was paid into the peniten- tiary fund, placing that fund in good condition for the first time in many months.
 The money had no sooner been re- ceived, however, than $20,000 was paid out in one lump to the Urquhart es- tate on account of the state farm property, which was purchased from that estate. The board some time ago allowed the S20,000, as part payment. Some members of the board suggested reconsidering the action by which the account was allowed, fearing the pay ment of $20,000 would deprive the penitentiary fund of too much cash, but the suggestion never came up for formal vote.
 Secretary John H. Page of the peni- tentiary board, after weighing up the state farm cotton at Pine Bluff after it's sale, thought the board would se- cure about S70,000 for the entire crop. MT. Page stated Monday, however. that he was not aware so much of Inc cotton had been picked out, a great deal of it having been damaged.

Take a Fifth Appeal.

Fer the fifth time, an appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court from the decision of the Woodruff County Chancery Court in a suit over the es- tate of J. N. Gibson, deceased, of Woodruff county. Litigation over the division of the estate has been pend ing in the courts for 15 or 20 years. The case has been oscillating between the Woodruff County Cnancery Court, having been reversed and Sent back each time it appeared in the Supreme Court
 When MT. Gibson died in 1884 he left an estate valued at about s25,000. Octavia Mitchell Schofeld, a sister of the dead man, and other more distant relatives gained possession of the property on the ground that they were his cnly living relatives, but later Sal lie Spot Gibson, who claimed to be a daughter of Gibson, brought suit to recover the property.
 The court finally divided the proper ty equally among the daughter, the sister and one other relative. The case was then appealed, reversed and sent back to the Supreme Court and IS now back for the fifth time on the ap- naaJ of Callin Snot GihSOn
