BIG SUIT AGAINST
 DREW CONVICT FARM
Alfred Baker, Convicted in the Prescott Court, Sues Frank TiIIar for
 $25,00O Damages.

Little Rock, Aug. 28. Two large suits were filed in the U. $. Circuit court against Frank Filler, a wealthy planter of Drew county, who has been working county convict labor. Both suits are filed by former convicts on the farm, and each plaintiff asks $25, ,00O damages. The suits were filed by Whipple & Whipple for Alfred Baker and Rochus Botsh.
 It is stated Filler has moved to Texas to avoid service on suits of this character, as the court here cannot enter another state for service on suits of this kind. The first suit was filed by Al fred Baker who 'claims he is a resident of Minnesota. He claims the defendant and officers of Nevada county formed a con- spiracy by which he was made a prisoner on the farm. He alleg- es he was convicted in the court of the mayor of Prescott, Febru- ary 25, and fined $25 and costs for vagrancy. The costs he claims amounted to $11.3O, and because he did not have the amount to liquicate the fine and costs he was transported to the Filler farm in Drew county, where he was kepta prisoner un. til May 16.
 Baker alleges the mayor of Prescott has no authority to send prisoners to the Drew county farm and his imprison- ment was illegal. He alleges the food at the farm was insuffi cient and bad in quality. He claims the contractor forced him to work in water and sleep in wet clothes. Baker says he was cruelty treated at the farm, be- ing quartered in a house which was too small for the number of prisoners, besides rocking with vermin. For mental anguish, suffering and humiliation Baker asks $5,000 and for his imprison- ment $2O,O0O.

Little Eock, Aug. 2o.-Letters from Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee and from all over Ark. ansas are flooding the office of Guy W. Caron, register of the land office, asking concerning the time for opening the St. Francis sunklands to homestead. Register Caron says the opening of this large tract of land is un. certain but that the department has directed the surveyors to get busy on the tract at once and plat it. The department has been making inquiries as to the condition of the sunk land to see if 1t is dry enough for the sur veyors to get in and work. They have been informed the condit- ions for rapid work were never better. The district will be op.
 ened as soon as the plats can be hled, and those who are now To- cated on the land will have 90
