CONVICTED
JURY IN LAND FRAUD CASE
SAYS "GUILTY"
Prosecutor Admits Necessity Of Bring
ing in Outside Evidence to
succeed-Appeal VIII
Be Taken
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PORTLAND, Oregon, Feb. s.-For-
mer United States District Attorney
John II. Hall, indicted for conspiracy
in connection with the Butte Creek
Livestock and Lumber company to
maintain an illegal fence which in
closed 10000 acres of public land in
guilty. The trial has been In progress
since January 10, and has been bitterly
fought on both sides.
Three hours and ten minutes after
receiving the instructions of the Judge
last night the jury arrived at a de-
cision and at 1870 this morning a
sealed verdict was returned. This was
opened at 10 o'clock this morning.
The offense is punishable by a fine
not exceeding $4,000 or by imprison-
ment not exceeding two years
Judge Webster was allowed sixty
days in which to file notice of appeal
and was granted until May / in which
to prepare a bill Of exceptions, pending
which sentence was suspended
Francis j. Heney, who conducted the
prosecution for the government, was
well satisfied with the verdict.
Outside Evidence Brought In
The prosecution admits that had 1t
confined its evidence to Halls cunnec-
ton with the Illegal fencing of the
Butte Creek company it could not have
convicted the defendant. 1t was only
by bringing in outside cases which
tended to prove, that Hall had been
ready to protect political friends in
volved in land deals that the govern
menr succeeded.
Hall, too, shares this opinion. The
defendant declares that he cannot un-
decstand how such verdict could be
arrived at, except that 1t was based
on evidence wholly outside the case
charged and which Hall, having no
previous notice of, had no opportunity
to meet.
Hall emphatically declares in state
ment to the press that there was no
evidence against him of the conspiracy
charged in the Indictment and that 1t
was on outside evidence that the YER
dict was based.
There were twelve individuals in
dicted on the conspiracy charge. These
are former State Senator w. w. Stei-
wer, former United States Commits
sioner H. H. Hendricks, Clarence B.
Zachary, A. c. Zachary, Charles A.
Watson, Clyde Glass, commissioner of
the general land office; former United
States District Attorney John H. Hall,
former Assistant United States Attor-
ney Edwin Mays, State Senator Frank
lin Pierce Mays, former Special Agent
Clark e. Loomis and former Special
Agent e. d. Stratford.
Hall was the only one of the in
dicted persons tried.

LIGHT BOARD MAKES REPORT
Say That Light Plant will be
 Out of Debt
Before the End ot Another Year, Barring Serious Accident-Report
 in Full Follows.

The board in charge of the cleo tric light improvement district of Conway submitted a report to the city council last week. The board is required under law to submit a report showing its annual receipts and expenditures in detail during the month of September each year. A report was submitted at this time, but the council refused to approve 1t on the ground that it was not sufficiently detailed and included none of the receipts and disbursements in connection with the operation of the plant.
 No meeting of the council has been held since the report pub lished below was placed in the hands of the city recorder, but it will doubtless come up for consid- eration at the next regular meet ing, Tuesday night, February II.
 The report in full is as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and City
 Council of the City of Conway,
 Arkansas:
 In compliance with your request we herewith submit the following detailed statement of financial transactions of the Conway Light Plant, in the operation thereof, from October I, 1906, to October 3I, 1907:

DONAGHEY STRENGTH GROWS
Davis Expected to Exert Little
 Rock Influence
Against the Popularity of the Faulkner County Man-News and Notes
 from Capital City.

Little Rock, Feb. Especial correspondence-Receiving letter from every member of the jury which had convicted Colonel Jones of Texarkana, of murdering his sweetheart, Jettie May, and sen- tencing him to be hanged, asking for the commutation of the negro S sentence to life imprisonment, Governor Pindall yesterday after noon commuted the sentence. The jurymen stated they thought life Imprisonment sufficient punish ment, but there was no way, under the evidence, for the jury to rem der such a verdict. The prosecut- ing attorney also asked that the sentence be commuted. Jones was to hang Feb. 14, and the Supreme court recently denied him new trial or an appeal.
 The injunction against the Ark ansas Railroad Commission to pre- vent it from assisting, or ordering penalty suits against the Iron Mountain railroad to collect $oeo- 900 in penalties for alleged viola ton of the state laws by ..discrimin- ating in the placing of coal cars at the mines of the company in Spad ra and Coal Hill, instead of giving a portion to the other mines, was to have come up in the United States circuit court today, but has been postponed until Feb. Y.
 Superintendent J. R. McCook of the state farm, spent Monday in Little Rock. He says that 1900 bales will not touch the cotton crop on the farm this year. He says the picking will be done this week and when all the cotton is ginned unless he is badly mistaken, there will be at least 1925 bales.
 After standing so strong for Donaghey in 1905, and with the conditions so far as George w. Donaghey is concerned, unchanged sine, the people of this section of the state are wondering what Davis is going to have to say against Donaghey when he takes the the stump, as Donaghey is the man he has to fight in his attempt to win for Kirby. Here is what Davis said concerning Donaghey in 1905:
 Excuse me, ladies and gen
 tlemen, but I want to refer to one
 of your most distinguished citi-
 zens. 1 want to refer to man
 who has stood lone handed and
 fought the biggest gang of bood-
 lers and thieves that ever invad-
 ed our State. He defeated the
 $500, GOO appropriation bill that
 Caldwell & Drake tried to bood-
 le through the last legislature
 and this man saved the tax pay
 CTS of Arkansas hundreds of
 thousands of dollars-I refer to
 the honest George w. Donaghey
 of your city. "
 No one is worried over what Jeff Davis is going to say concerning Donaghey, but with Donaghey running off with the nomination, and him the man that Jeff will have to fight, what is he going to say against him.
 Every day brings additional counties into the Donaghey col umn, so if the other candidates are going to carry even their home counties, it has been suggested that they get of the stump and rush home to make sure of it, or they Lii 1oea oil tIa1y Haua pnn
