COURT REFUSES TO INTERVENE
Will Not Stay Judgment in Elec-
tion Contest.
Commissioners, Under Penalty or Going to
Jail, Certify Greaves' Elec-

Little Rock, Oct 23.-Going to
the end of their rope at the present
time, the representatives of the
Garland county election commits
sioners, T. J. Craighead and James
F. Cowls, who were yesterday
ordered by Judge Evans to change
the records so their certificate
would 60 to the secretary of state
showing the election of c. d.
Gre ives, Republican, instead of
o. H. Sumpter, Democrat, to the
state senate from that district, last
night notified the commissioners to
do as the court ordered and not be
liable to punishment for contempt.
This last step was not taken until
after Charles Jacobson, represent
Ing the election commissioners,
! and Col, W, L. Terry, represent
ing Greaves, took the matter up in
the supreme court, Jacobson ask
ing for a stay of the judgment
made by Judge Evans until the
case could be decided in the su-
preme court on its merits.
The supreme court refused to
make the order sought for and At
torney Jacobson notified the COM
missioners by telephone that they
would have to make the change in
the records ordered or go to Jail,
but that this would not stop the
fighting.
Judge o. H. Sumpter was in the
city yesterday and says it was all a
Joke about the court in Hot
Springs going to put him in Jail,
as the place of destination in the
City of Vapors had been made too
frail to hold him. Judge Sumpter,
who had been removed from the
Office of county judge by Judge
Evans, came for the purpose OF
getting his brother, John J. Stump
ter, appointed to serve the balance
of his term, and he was successful
in this, carrying home the COM
mission, duly signed, yesterday
| afternoon.
1t is now claimed that the
Greaves attorneys, successful Sc
far, will now attempt to have set
aside the returns certified to by
the Garland county commissioners
in declaring Sumpter elected by
throwing out the four townships,
after first announcing the election
of Greaves, and thus give Sumpter
no certificate of election upon
which to get into the senate for
contest on the floor. # nanda-
mus was issued compelling the
secretary of state to cancel the
only chance Sumpter has for get.
ting a footing in the senate, and
pressing his claim there, the fight
would be over without other court
proceedings.

The above question Is often asked con-

The words Of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount OF
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance OF
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, nom
secret, and contain no harmful habit

extracts of the roots of native, American
medicinal forest plants. They are both
sold by dealers in medicine. You can't
afford to accept as a substitute for one OF
these medicines of known composition,

FUNERAL HADTHIS MORNING
Body of Frank Ingram Laid to Rest in Oak
Grove Cemetery.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY
This morning at ten O'Clock the
funeral of Frank Ingram was held
from the residence of his father,
John Ingram, in this city, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. J.
R. Giddens. The body was laid
to rest at Oak Grove cemetery.
1t was learned last night that
when the body of Mr.. Ingram was
discovered at the state hospital
yesterday morning, life was not
quite extinct, feeble pulse being
detected, but all means of resusci-
tation failed to restore him and he
died within few minutes.
The authorities at the hospital
stated that the young man was ap-
parently nearing recovery and it
was thought that he would be able
to be discharged within short
time. A renewed attack of the
mental trouble with which he was
afflicted was the cause Of his self
inflicted death.
Among those who were here to
attend the funeral were Mrs.
Arthur Hammons, Miss Corinne
and Mike Ingram, sisters and
brother of the deceased, and Char
ley and Miss Ethel Powers of Mt.
Vernon.

Thursday evening of last week,
the council met and passed the
franchise ordinance granting to
Ed L. Wagenhals the right of u.s.
ing the streets and alleys of the
village for wiring for electric
lighting. The franchise is in an
other column of this paper.
Wednesday evening of this week

the matter of contract ordinance
with f. T. Wagenhals, and it was
placed on it's first reading, but its
passage was not pressed because
the franchise ordinance has not
been published ten days as yet.

Common Pleas Court.

On Monday, the October term
of court convened in Logan with
Judge j. p. Wood, of Athens
county, on the bench Judge
Martin was absent from his dis.
trict for few days.
Judge Wood set the grand jury
to work and appointed W. S.Stone
as foreman. The grand jury is
composed of the following citizens
of Hooking county: w. S. Stone,
Chas. D. Wright, Perry Bolinger,
Silas Duffey, Il. j. Brown, q. z.
Stacy, Chas. Voris, WIZ, Schooley,

Kessler, James Allen and James
Shaw.
The grand jury has an all weeks
grind of it; probably one of the
largest sessions for many years,
and some very imp 'rtant cases
came up this term.
While here Judge Wood decided
the demurrer to the indictment
against Frank McManaway for EN-.
be zzlement. McManaway is the
fellow that broke Jail some weeks
ago. and is now located in Canada.
rhe court overruled the demurrer,
and sustained four counts in the
indictment, but intimated that u
motion would be sustained to
quash the Indictment on the prop
osition of a missioner" The
indictment, ne alleged, was made
up of issues that were not coher-
ent. Prosecutor McBroom takes
issues on such grounds and will
contest the case in upper courts,
citing many decisions where the
McManaway Indictment ls not in.
consistnet within holding of courts
in many states.
Judge Wood also confirmed the
sale of the Rose and Cresop lot at
81, $50 90, to Mr.. f. O. Petit, the
