WILLIS GETS A
 SPECIAL ORDER Guy Fulk Says He Gan Have Daughter In Custody for
 Ten Days.
REVIVES OLD STORY
Mrs. W. |. Ellis Must Allow Daughter to Go With Fathrr-sheriif Phil
 pot to Take Little Ma, to Capital.

Before Judge Guy l'ulk il the Pu- laski circuit court at l. title Rock yesterday. United States Senator Jeff Davis applied for and secured an or def which permits Nathaniel T. Willis, of Indianapolis. to have possession of his little daughter, Mary Willis, of Pine Bluff, for ten days, provided he makes sufficient bond and does not take the child out of the iuris- diction of the court.
 This order is in the nature of a new chapter of a most sensational di- vorce suit heard some years ago and which has been followed by several sensational habeas corpus case in which N. P. Willis has made repeated efforts to secure possession of Little old and is with her mother. now Mrs. w. Y. Ell s, of this city.
 Under the order of the court, Sher- if C. M Philpot, of this city, has been directed to take the child to Little Rock anC give her into the custody of her father. who must give bond that she will be properly cared for. not taken out of the jurisdiction of the court and returned to her mother at the expiration of ten days.
 Willis is proprietor of a drink cure resort in Indianapolis, and is quite wealthy. His aunt, Mrs. Culver, is owner of the Majestice stove works in St. Louis, and is said to be anxious to secure possession of the child. Some months ago Willis instituted proceedings in a Little Rock court to annul the legal adoption of his daughter by Harry Bell. brother of Mrs. Ellis. but the Indianian failed in his purpose. It was this case that caused unpleasant relations between Senator Davis and Chancellor. now Associate Justice Hart.
 Willis was indicted after the Little Rock hearing by the Pulaski county grand jury, it being charged that he tried to bribe a chambermaid at the Hotel Marion by offering her $10O 70 testify that she had seen men coming from the room of his former wife there. He was never tried, although it has been several years since the indictment was returned. The case is now pending in Perry county on a change of venue.

 Form of Government There.

The following letter fo the Graphi, from Father J. NJ bucey pastor of the St. Joseph Catholic church. who is spending several weeks for his health at Manitou. Colorado, will he read with interest by Pine Bluffians:
 Editor of Graphic :-Perhaps your readers would be interested in hearing some news about Colorado. where many from Arkansas and almost every state in the Union find pleasure and heath-giving strength in the cool air and beautiful scenery of a region 5000 feet or more above sea level. on the east side of the Rocky Noun tains and within easy reach of the ia nous Pikes Peak
 There are three cities which adjoin one another here. one beginning where the city limits of another ter minates: Colorado Springs. Colorado City and Manitou. The first has 35.- 900 people. the second $500 and the third 2,000. Colorado Springs is one of the beautiful cities of the country on account of it's wide and we'll shaded streets, it's handsome resi- dences, of which twenty or more are the homes of millionaires. it's being the seat of a great university and it's Well-knoWn fame as health resort for those afflicted with tuberculosis and similar ailments. It's finest hotel is the Antlers. where the rates are S3.00 day and up.
 The city a few days ago held an election and adopted the form of mn- nlclpal government known as tho commission form, such as Galveston originated, to be followed by Houston. Des Moines, Kansas City. Mo-, Kansas City, Kan, and numerous other cen ters of trade and commerce. It would be well for some cities of Arkansas through their Boards of Trade to appoint a committee to visit some Of these cities and report upon the advisability of adopting this new method of eliminating party politics and uniting all classes in the uDbuild- Ing Of town and home.
 The most notable of recent events at Colorado Springs was the death of Mrs. Margaret Howell Davis Hayes. "The Daughter of the Confederacv. and the last surviving member of the immediate family of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. She is survived by her husband. two daughters and two sons. Her hus- band is president of the First Nation- al Bank, Colorado Springs, and she was prominent in works of charity and in society. The family came here from Memphis, Tenn, on account of her health. She died last Sunday night at the age of 54. Monday morn ing the body was taken by her son-in- law, pr. Gerald B. Webb, to the cre- matory at Denver On Tuesday the ashes were brought back in metallic urn. The funeral was held Wednes- day at II a. m., and was private, the temporary pastor of the Episcopal church reading simple service.

Pine Bluff Girl Repeats As sault Story Without Vary
 ing From Original Story
AA.1OMEN CROWD COURT
Unfortunate Young Lady Makes Fee ble Effort to Protect Her Lost
 HOnOr-Thp Trial.

Little Rock, July 26-(SpeciaD. .- Between sobs, Miss Ray Burkhalter yesterday afternoon told her harrow ing story of the assault alleged to have been committed upon her by Earl Dill before crowded court room, with hundreds of anxious eyes fastened upon her, yet she faltered very little for one going through with such an experience. She never va ried from her story, positively identi- flying Dill and picking him out from those who sat in the court room. The court room was so packed during the afternoon session it was uncomfort- able. Every inch of the space outside the railing was taken up, people even standing in the windows to gaze over the heads of the crowds standing in the aisles and on the seats, The unable to get inside, stood up on benches outside and craned their necks to get look at the principals. Many women were on the inside, the audience being about one-third fem mine. Judge Lea did not make any order to clear the court room when Miss Burkhalter took the stand. as he was expected to do, and after two or three minor witnesses had testl- fled. she took the stand about } o'clock and remained there until the court adjourned at 6 o'clock She told of how she came to go to the Knights of Pythias hall, in response to a telephone message that work would be provided for her there. She told of how Dill had entertained her with an album, then checked her in
 to insensibilty She testified to re- gaining partial consciousness and finding he had taken the most of her clothing off He again placed his hands on her throat and she again became unconscious, coming to the next time to find Dill standing over QST With d Wet lONel III illo udIluo. On cross examination nothing was said to Miss Burkhalter regarding the identity, even though attorneys for the defense in the opening statement had claimed she had never positively identified Dill as the assailant, but her testimony was attacked on the ground that it was different from that given in the grand jury chamber, Miss Burkhalter acknowledged she had stated before the grand jury that Dill had not accomplished his purpose, while she testified yesterday he had, She explained her testimony before the grand Jury by stating a friend had informed her the penalty was the same for an assault and for an at tempt, and it might aid her reputa- tion to tell the inquisitorial body her assailant had not accomplished his purpose. She said this was her only reason for testifying in that manner. and she was positive Dill was guilty Of the crime for which he was in
