Former Senators Indicted.

Although it has been rumored for
more than a week that the Pulaski
County Grand Jury, when it took
recess a week ago Friday, had return
ed indictments against men who serv-
ed as senators in the General Assem-
bly, of 1905, it was not until Saturday
that the warrants were served and five
men were arrested and placed under
$4,000 bonds each to appear for trial
in the Pulaski Circuit Court. Senators
Hardy, lobe, Floyd and Harrison were
arrested on warrants charging them
with perjury, and Senator Hinkle on
a warrant charging bribery.
When the Grand Jury took its re-
cess Is indictments were returned to
Judge Lea, and it has been rumored
that among the ten bench warrants
not yet served some are for men who
are also charged with boodling. 1t
Is not believed these warrants are for
members of the General Assembly of
1905.
The indictments allege that Hardy

they testified before the Grand Jury
that they did not receive any money
during 1905 for their votes on legis-
lation affecting the railroads and par
ticularly the Iron Mountain; that FLOYD
perjured himself when he said to the
Grand Jury that he did not receive
$1,000 for his vote on the bill TO pro-
hibit gambling, and that lobe like
wise perjured himself IN denying that
he received 81 500 from NJ. d. J.. Cook
for his votes on the state capitol ap-
preparation bills, and the Argenta bill.
The indictment against Senator Hol-
land was not accessible to newspaper
men, but it is known almost positively
that he has been indicted for perjury
This was stated positively on the
streets of Little Rock Saturday, but
not from any authoritative source.
Under the present Arkansas statutes
a man may go into the Grand Jury
room and admit that he gave a bride
to another man. The man who receiv-
ed the bribe may also admit it before
the Grand Jury and may admit it in
court at the trial of the man who gave
the bribe But if the man who gave
the bribe refuses TO testify. as he has
a right to do, and If no other witnes-
ses saw him give the bribe, he will
be liberated, as the law expressly
states that briber MAY not be con-
victed on the uncorroboated testimony
of an accomplice. Neither may the
person who received the bribe
1t was learned that the cases will
be set for trial for this term of the
Circuit Court. Three old Doodle cases
have already been set, one to begin on
July g. Whether the cases can all
be tried this term is uncertain, but
they will be set up TO August l.

Hacks Off Head With An Axe.

What was probably the most ghast-
" and uncanny murder in the history
of Saline county occurred two miles
west of Hensley late Monday after
noon. when Alex Brunson, negro
about As years old, killed Fred Al
ford. another negro, aged 90 years, by
chopping off his head with an axe.
After severing Affords head from the
body, Brunson is alleged then to have
placed the head on block and mack
ed it into four pieces. According 10
one report of the killing, Brunson then
took the brains out of the head and
placed them on a table, intending TO
feed them to his dog After Killing
Afford, Brunson sat up all night over
the body and was still watching the
body Tuesday morning when he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff 7. F. Byrd
and taken TO Little Rock. and from
there taken to Benton, where ne Is
held on the charge of murder. II IS
thought by many that Brunson IS IN
sane 1t is alleged that Brunson, after
killing Afford. dragged the latter
body around to the front porch or the
Brunson home and, standing on the
body, crowed with joy.

The roads are impossible on account

that three distinct storms wrought

Surveyors Used In Liquor Fight.

Spring City, a "blind tiger" resort
and heretofore supposed to have been
across the line in Missouri, has been
discovered to be in Arkansas, by local
to establish the boundary. II was
found that the keepers of the Illicit
groggeries had moved their houses
across the line one night in order 10
avoid the Missouri officials This was
done without the knowledge of the Ar
kansas authorities and for several
years these houses have been run on
this side of the line illegally.

But at the entrance to the residence
of the divine a suspicion enters his
mind that he is being followed. He
makes his interview with the minister
of the church of England a very short

house, his quick eyes perceive two
men on the opposite side of the street.
These turn casually toward the traffic
of the busy avenue from the railroad
station and are lost in the crowd from

Barnes, pushing his way to number
four on the second floor, is confronted
at the door of this apartment by man
of very brisk manner, sharp, penetrat-

squiline formation impresses itself on
Barnes memory.
