MT. Smith, as many citizens of Hot Springs We're anxious to have Martin A. Eisele appointed to the place. The department, however would not consent to allow a To- cad man to hold the office so Mir. Meyers was selected.
 MT. Meyers received the en- dorsement Of the state Republi- can machine for the appointment some time ago at a conference in Little Rock after the secretary of the interior at Washington had objected to even a man from this state being given the job 4 compromise was reached it is stated through the efforts of President Taft.
 Mir. Meyers declares that he expects many beneficial results to be evident here in the near fu- ture. These results will be brought about, he says on ac- count of the fact that he repre- sents the most progressive ad- ministration Of recent years and that the department of the in- terior is just beginning to realize the great importanca Of the C. ty as a health and pleasure resort.
 One of the most important prob ems that will confront Mir Mny- CTS will be n regard to the draRl- aling question.

IMPORTANT DEVELOP
 MENTS IN CASE
Assyrlans Have Employed Fort Smith Counsel. Opposed by Messrs Hamby
 Haynie and Hamby

Prescott is today filled with Assyrians from all parts of the state and Missouri, who are drawn here by the recent killing of Olie Katter, one of their countrymen, in difficulty at Helbig Pike county in which J. J. Cox manager Of the Pike County Logging Co, was severely beaten over the head and body with clubl
 There are conflicting state ments as to the affair and it is impossible to give the exact facts in the case. The first reports re- ceived here stated that Cox was attacked in his commissary of which he is manager by Katter and a fellow countryman, and that while they were beating him to death some unknown person entered the store and shot Kat ter through the heart. and rout- ed his friend.
 Mir. A. s Abdallah of Fort Smith a leader Of an Assyrian colony appears to be in possession of statements that indicate that the two foreigners were eating in a restaurant at He,bg, and were attacked by Cox and anoth- CT party with the result as stat ed above.
 | The dead man was brought to Prescott Tuesday, and has since lain in a local undertaker's es- tablishment but was buried in DeAnn cemetery this afternoon after a lingering hesitation on the part of relatives. who will push the prosecution to the limit
 The trial of the case comes tup Saturday at Murfreesboro, and Messrs Hamby & Haynie Of this place, have been retained by Cox while the Assyrians have wired for eminent Fort Smith counsel to lead their fight.
 The other Assyrian who was present at the killing joined his fellow countrymen here today but has given out no statement. Neither has any thing official been heard from the other side. On account of the fact that the dead man was not a citizen of this country international complica- tions are liable to result from the trial.
 The trouble seems to have grown out of the fact that 1 the ASSyrians who wnra npldlinp had interferrsd " tn the business or the Logging Company wh ch was conducting store at Helbg and on account Of their pers st. cnce in the matter, were several times cubbed out of the store, and the recent killing was no su- prise here.
