CARTWRIGHT CASE CONTINUED
CIRCUIT COURT ADJOURNED
Eli Forte Indicted for False
 Pretenses.
Special Grand Jury Made Final Report this Morning and were Discharg-
 ed by the Court.

Late yesterday afternoon Judge Eugene Lankford entered an order continuing the trial of J. A. Cart wright until the next January term of the Faulkner circuit court.
 The case was continued on mo- ton of the defendants attorneys, Judge P. H. Prince and George Shaw and it was agreed by the de fense that a change of venue would not be asked for when the case comes to tiial.
 In granting the continuance Judge Lanklord said he had hoped to finish the hearing of the case this week, but that the grand jury had required one more day to find the indictment than he had antic- ipated. Under the most favorable circumstances he said, both sides could not announce ready before Friday noon and a jury could hardly be completed before Satur- day noon. The judge is com pelled to be at De Nall's Bluff for a regular term of cou,t on Monday, so thal only hall day would be left for the trial.
 Cartwright's deiense will be in- sanity, according to a statement made by Judge Prince this morn ing. We are concealing noth ing, said the judge. We do not deny the killing. Cartwright is clearly insane and his act Is the act of an insane man. We shall have ample testimony to establish this fact at the forthcoming term of court.
 The special session of circuit court adjourned this morning after hearing the final report of the special grand jury impanelled to examine the case against J. w. Cartwright.
 While in session the grand jury also investigated the case against Eli Forte, colored, and this morn ing returned an indictment charg ing him with obtaining goods un- der false pretenses. Forte is is charged with trading to F. T. Edwards of this city heifer which did not belong to him in buying a sewing machine from Edwards.
 In its final report the grand jury stated that they had examined 2I witnesses and found two true bills, both for felony. The jury was discharged with the thanks of the court.

Matter Decided by Executive
 Committee Last Night.
Farmers Union Officials Accept Liberal Proposition of this City to
 Retain Headquarters

After debating the proposition until late hour last night, the eX- ecutive committee of the state Farmers Union announced at the conclusion of their session that they had decided to accept the proposition of Conway and to al low the union headquarters to re main i'll this city.
 That the committee exercised the good judgment to recognize the undenlable advantages of Con way and to retain the headquart- CTS here II, the face of q consider able sentiment over the state fo1 removal is the opinion of those most COnversant with the matter.
 The contest narrowed down early in the session to a choice between Conway and Lonoke, but the natural advantages of this place, together with the liberal of fer to the Union prevailed in the minds of the committee.
 Conway's proposition made through the Board of Trade is to furnish office rent, fuel and lights for the headquarters and to fur nish residence rent for the use ol the secretary
 The location is considered as permanent by the committee and will probably not be changed.
