FOOTPADS AT VAN BUREN.
Heavily Armed Masked Men Commit
 Numerous Robberies Near City.

Van Buren, Nov. 23.-Footpads have been operating freely in the vicinity of Van Buren, there ap- bearing to be two gangs of them. One gang has speciality of ly- ing iu wait for the farmers and cotton growers en route home af- ter disposing of their cottor. This gang operates between the south end of the Frisco bridge across the Arkansas river here and the end of the Fort Smith electric car line.
 On Friday night two farmers were held up and robbed, one of $10O and the other of $4, the lat ter case occurring within the city limits.
 Saturday night Circuit Clerk Quesenbury, Chief Clerk Brown of Superintendent Murphy's office and E. H. Miller started to walk to the end of the car line to att tend Fort Smith theater and were held up by two heavily arm ed men who wore masks made from coarse handkerchiefs. The party was relieved of $60, but the thieves did not modest their watches and overlooked a fine diamond ring worn by Mir. Brown.
 As none of the men held up have resisted the highwaymen, no violence has been resorted to and so far no one has been hurt; but as the robbers are reported and described as cool, deliberate men. it is feared that tragedy may yet follow if any one dares to resIst their demands to stand and deliver.

$2O,OOO WORTH OF
 COTTON BURNED
About 400 Bales Destroyed at the Nixon McClinton Mercan- tile Co.'s Warehouse
 at Mariana.

Marianna, Nov. 2,.-The Nixon McClinton Mercantile Company's warehouse, contain ing about 400 bales of cotton, was burned today, entai.ing a loss of about $20,000 on cotton destroyed and $6, 900 on the building, both of which are covered by insurance.
 All the cotton was received in Marianna Friday and Saturday from wagons and stored in the warehouse by the merchants purchasing 1t. It is supposed that one of the bales was latently burning when placed in the warehouse, the fire not being detected at the time. The theory is that the bale was set on fire from sparks falling from the pipe of the farmer while he was hauling his cotton to town.
 The fire was discovered at : o'clock this morning and 1t was late ia the afternoon before it was under controll. Only 10 bales were taken from the ware house during the progress of the fire.

PROBABLE CHANGES
 IN HUNTING LAWS
Secretary of State Ludwig Thinks In. vited Guests Should be Allowed to Hunt in State Would Regu-
 late Killing Game.

Little Rock, Nov. 21.-Colonel H. Acklin, of Nashville, Tenn, state warden in charge of the department of game, fish and forestry, spent yesterday in the city. It is understood that Colo nel Acklin will visit the city again during the days of the next legislature, in the interest of uniform measures for the pro- tection of game, fish etc., in this state and Tennessee.
 Arkansas has no game warden, other than the several sheriffs and their deputies. The need of state warden is to be admitted, as a matter of uniform enforce ment of our game law. The laws themselves are sufficiently rigid along some lines, provided they are carefully enforced. In most states the compensations for the state warden's service arises out of the fues, etc., se- cured for violation of the game laws, and this is generally an excellent stimulus in the dis charge of his duty.
 It is popularly believed that the secretary of state is acting game warden, but this seems an error. Speaking of the visit of of olnel Ackliu, how ever, Secretary of State Ludwig sad that he would be glad to give his sanction to any measures looking to the securing of uni form and logical measures for the protection in the state. Secre- tary Ludwig believes the strin- gent provision prohibiting guest from another state to hunt in the state when he comes by invitation is unreasonable and should be repealed. "I do no believe there would be very many people come into the state for the purpose of hunting, should this part ot the measures be stricken out, but 1t would extend a courtesy that would be keenly appreciated without particular joss to the state." He also agrees with many others that there should be modification of the game laws, setting a limit upon the amount of game man may bag in day or during the hunting season, instead of allowing the present indiscriminate slaughter of small game to continue.
 It is certain that number of these measures will be sprung during the next general assembly meeting.

 MT. Bare reports that his claim and those of his friends, which are on record at the court house. are being ignored by some, who are marking out claims regard less of these lines and rights. He says he may be compelled to take steps to protect his property from such trespass.
 Mir. Bare says that all the un- deeded land has already been staked out, and that pal ties are coming from Kansas City for the purpose of buying up all the deeied land in the vicinity of the vein.
 He proposes to push the work of development on his property as fast as possible.

GETTING INTO DEBT
Arkansas Expenditures Exceed Reve nues Must be Curtailed or
 General Fund Increased.

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-State Auditor Avery E. Moore yester- day filed his bienniel report in which he shows the revenue fund has decreased since 1900 from $500,000 to $2S5, 900 and the expenses of the state are running much greater than the receipts, the expenses for the biennial period, S56,000, much greater than the revenue. He says the state must curtail ex- peuses or increase its general revenue iuud. He advises changes Tn the laws so the auditor is authorized to call upon the collectors for partial settle ments.
 MT. Moore recommends the state auditor relieved from ser vice on the penitentiary board, which board, he says, should consist of three members ap2oin- ted by the governor and approved by the senate. Auditor Moore also calls attention to the ir- regularities in the distribution of the pension fund.
 Peuitentiary is Broke"
 Little Rock. Nov. 2l.-No further bills on the current ex- pense account of the state peni- tentiary will be allowed till after the legislature meets, 1t being found today that the Sl82,0O0 appropriation is exhausted. The last legislature passed law against deficits, so no bills can he allowed until further appro- nr iations are made. It is esti- mated the state will owe SIS, ,O0O on this item, before the legisla- ,ure can act, and the board may have some trouble iu securing nroyision aud clothing contracts except at a premium.
