TAYLOR TELLS THE
LEE LET STORY
Continued from Page one.)

pay him a hundred dollars each day,
At this meeting another meeting for
the next night was arranged, but on
! the advice of Attorney General Peters
Taylor did not keep the appointment,
going there again on Saturday night.
THE MONEY PAID.
Again matters of detail were gone
over and finally Lee Let was about
to pass some gold to Taylor when
someone passed the door that opened
from the room and Lee Let withheld
the gold until the person had passed.
Then he came over to Taylor and put
$50 in gold in Taylor's hands, closing
one of Taylor's hands over the otheI
and enclosing the two with his own
two and shaking them and saying Mr..
Taylor 1 hope we have good luck"
Taylor looked at the gold and saw
that there was only $50 and said to
Lee Let that the understanding was
that the money was to be paid 500
at a time. Lee Let sail the balance
of the hundred would be paid
later. Taylor asked if it was to be
considered then that this was a part
payment of the first hundred dollars,
and Lee Let said it was. Taylor
thereupon wrote a memorandum stat
ing that he had received $50 on that
account and put his initials on it and
asked Lee Let to sign 1t. Lee Let,
however, replied, mo, Mr.. Taylor, we
understand each other; we don't need
any writing"
Taylor then put the gold in the out
side pocket of his coat, and presently

Larnach tried to get further testi-
mony from Taylor in regard to
meeting on Monday night for which an
appointment was made at the Satur-
day night meeting. and also a ntte
which Taylor received from a person
he had seen in Lee Let's store pur-
porting to come from Lee Let. But
this was excluded as being testimony
as to events occurring after the COM
mission of the crime and not being
a part of the res gesta.

SEVERE LOSS SuS-
TANNED BY FIRE
J. M. Milburn's Residence
Burned-No Insurance
to Cover Loss.

The residence of John Nj. Mil
burn was totally destroyed by
fire last Saturday evening about
4:50 o'clock together with all it's
contents. The family was all
at home when the fire was dis
covered. 1t is supposed to nave
caught from a coal oil stove in
the kitchen. The fire boys all
responded and did all they could
but a stiff breeze was blowing
and the building being dry, it
was impossible to save anything.
This is a severe loss to Mr.. Mil
burn as he had no insurance on
either house or contents. The
loss will aggregate So, 500. They
lost all their clothing. Some of
the children were in the bath
room and were even compelled
to get out with sheets wrapped
around them. The entire town
sympathizes with the family in
their loss.

TWO BIG DAYS AT SEREPTA.

Saturday and Sunday were big
days at Serepta. A great num-
Der of people from all parts of
Nevada county have been assem-
bled there for the past two days
taking part in the annual Sunday
School Convention of Nevada
county.
Despite the rain yesterday,
which no one regretted to see, the
attendance was fairly good. The
convention was very ably led by
J. 0. A. Bush, assisted by Rev.
Long.
Everybody reports plenty to
eat, plenty of health-giving
water to drink, and time we'll
spent. Yesterday morning the
regular Sunday school lesson was
studied and discussed, and in the
afternoon very interesting
speech was delivered by Mr..
Thompkins on the subject of
Humanity of Christ. -
The work was completed at
three O'Clock and the good peo-
pie departed for their homes
with cheerful hearts. Serepta is
situated six miles below Lane
burg, and a more suitable place
could have hardly been found. it
being in the heart of the county.
The Sunday Sunday School
Convention next year will con-
vene at Main Springs.

ity are as follows:

secutive school yeals Immediate
~ rior to the time Of his taking
the examination.

versity Preparatory School at

it will be considered forfeited two
weeks after the opening of the
University.
Applicants will be examined on
1915 units of high school work.

FORMER CHIEF
JUSTICE DIES
Judge H. G. Bum of FL Do
RADIO Dies at the Age
of 70 Years.

Ell Dorado, July II. -Judgt H.
G. Bum, former chief justice of
the Supreme Court of Arkansas,
ex-C Confederate soldier and Chris
tau gentleman, died here today
forenoon, at the end of the period
allotted to men, three score years
and ten. He had been feeble for
several weeks, and since last
week it had oeen realized that
he could not recover, and for
several days all the members of
his family had been at his bed
SIDE.
Judge Bum was appointed by
Gov. Fishback chief justice in
May, 1898, to fill the unexpired
term of Chief Justice Cockrill.
In 1896 he was elected to the full
term of eight years. He was de-
feated in 1904 by Joseph M. Hill,
since which time he has made
his residence in Ell Dorado.
Only a short while now will the
cramped inhabitants of the Little
post-office and federal offices
have to labor in close quarters.
The government has at last
reached the point of advertising
for bids for the $4,000 addition
to the government building here
which has been contemplated
and agitated for a number of
years.

Little Rock, July q. -Escap-
ing payment of taxes on govern
ment bonds in their possession a
number of years, the banks Of
Arkansas may continue to go
along without paying taxes, but
they are to have a rub for it,
which will be started in some
manner by C. F. Martin, assessor
of Pulaski county. Assessor Mar
tin has consulted with Attorney
General Kirby to see in what
manner he should proceed to get
an opinion as to whether or not
the government bonds in the
hands of the banks of the state
are exempt from taxation, as the
banks have always maintained.
1t is impossible for the assessor
to himself be a party to the suit,
and he is now taking steps to
have such a suit brought by a
taxpayer. to make a test and
have the supreme court pass up
on the question. This is a mat
ter which interests every bank in
the state, which has invested a
portion of it's funds in govern
ment bonds, then placed them in
circulation, and escaped taxation
upon this property.
