FIVE YEARS
 FOR DAUGHERTY
Jury Returned a Verdict of Vol- untary Manslaughter and
 Judge Fixes Penalty.

The trial of Hugh Daugherty for the killing of Jas. Littre1l III Springdale occurred at Fayette- vile III circuit court first of the week. Daugherty being defended by Walker X Walker. Tuesday afternoon the jury brought in d verdict of voluntary manslaught- CT. The law prescribes penalty of from two to seven years in the penitentiary, and Wednesday morning Judge Naples gave him a five year sentence.
 The trouble between Daugherty and Littrel occurred III Sprlngdale Saturday, June 29, last. Daugh- erty and his daughter resided on the farm of $. K. Stokes south of town. and Littrell and some others had been working on the place. When Daugherty, who had been away driving team for Stokes, returned home, his daughter told him that Littrell and his con- panions had been singing vulgar songs ln her presence, and Daugh- ert approached Littrel on the subject. Littrell denied the charge, when without warning Daugherty plunged pocket knife into his abdomen, inflict1ng a wound from which he died the next day. Daugherty was irn- mediately arrested and has since been in custody.
 The sentiment of the commun- ity was entirely on the side of Llttrell, as he had always been a peaeeable and law abiding citi- zen, while Daugherty in his past career had been involved in a number of difficulties.

GOV. PINDALL TO TEST
 STRENGTH WITH DAVIS.

Little Rock, Mav 4.-Governor X. 0. Pindall yesterday an- nouuced his candidacy for the position of delegate at large from Arkansas to the Democrat ic national convention, in oppo- osition to United States Senator Jeff Dayis, announcing that he desired the issue to be between the senator and himself. In a written statement addressed to the convention, he suggests that Senator James r. Clark, Secre- tary of State Q. C. Ludwig and George w. Donaghey, democrat ic nominee for governor, be elected as the other three of the four delegates.
 Governor Pindall protests against sending Senator Davis as delegate merely because failure to do so would mean the breaking of an established prec- edent, and denounces the sena- tors actions throughout his po- litieal career as showing that he is not particular about sticking  to precedents. He further an- nounces that Senator Davis and he could not consistently be members of the same delegation to the national convention, and asks the convention to choose between the two.

SPRINGDALE BAND HAS
 BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED.

The members of the old Springdale band, to the number of about fourteen, have re-orga-n ized. A new lot of music has been received, and soon Spring. dale people will again have the pleasure of hearing a home band.
