BUC-HOUSE CONVICT
 WANTS HIS "BUC'

Little Rock, Sept. 6.-For the past week the authorities at the Arkansas penitentiary have been having much trouble in restrain ing Wade Beck, white man serv- ing six years from Miller county on charge of forgery, and it is all because some other convict has stolen Beck's June bug. Like the convict which educated cockroach- es and other bugs in his cell, Beck has passed his time away with a June bug. He captured the bug last June and carried 1t with him to his cell. A cigar box became the home of the bug and every time Beck went to m cal he would secure something for his bug. He kept salt and water in the box, with the other edibles for his pet and when sick if he was given a dose of medicine, the bug was given its share. The attachment between the bug and man became so strong that when the insect dis appeared from its box one day dur ing the past week, Beck went on the war path and has been at dag gers point with the other convicts since. Efforts are now being made to get another bug to replace the missing one in order that the weak minded convict may become nlacated.

POLITICIANS LOOKING
 TWO YEARS HENCE

Little Rock, September G. Abandoning the idea of getting out a candidate to oppose Cover nor Donaghey for reelection, polt- ticians of the state have turned their eyes two years hence when he will be through with the office, being Democratic enough not to ask for a third term. Attorney General Norwood has signified his intention of becoming candidate for governor at that time and oth- CTS are considering the same prop osition. Attorney General Nor wood will be in first, however and will make a warm race.
 Governor Donaghey has ceased to talk politics, the people of the state solving the proposition for him by refusing to give any en- couragement to those who were feeling around with a desire to be- come a candidate. This will be the first time fol years that gov ernor has been without opposition for a second term and the proving by Governor Donaghey that the work on the state capitol was faul- ty, as he alleged, has made him a popular idol all over the state.

THREE HURT IN
 ARCENTA FIGHT ANNEXATION DISCUSSION One Man Possibly Fatally h. jured as Sequel to Argument. Men in Favor of Annexation are the Vic tims Five Men Arrested and Put
 in County Jail.

Argenta, Sept. 6.-As a result of fight here yesterday, three men were seriously stabbed and one may die. The fight was the out come of an argument between men of the annexation and anti-annex- ation factions. The men who were wounded ill the fight are: J. A. Logan, George Mcdonald and F c. Bolton and the men who were arrested charged with doing the cutting are; Joe Roller, J. s. Wigintzer, Filip Richard, Oscar Fielder and Fred Pike, all of whom are in the Pulaski county jail awaiting their examining trial Logan is in a bad condition, hay ing been stabbed in the back just below the shoulder blades twice, one knife wound penetrating the lett lung. He received several other bad cuts. Mcdonald was stabbed in the back and a great gash cut in his head Bolton s left arm was laid open nearly its entire length and he sustained oth- CT small gashes.
 Thrown Bottle Starts Trouble
 Several times during the argu- ment violence was threatened but until just before the cutting bystanders interfered and kept the men from coming to blows.
 Thl trouble began by one of the younger men throwing beer bot tie at the men i'll favor of annex ation, according to Mcdonald, one of the injured men. It struck Mcdonald on the head, almost laying him out. Mcdonald says the faction for annexation made nc effort to push the fight, but only tried to protect themselves. The young men captured last night say, on the other hand, that they fought in selt- defense.
 According to the story told by Mcdonald at St. Vinceat's Infrm- ary last night the five men not in favor of annexation rushed the fight from the time the bottle was thrown. He says the three old men held them, while the two young men did the cutting. Nc Donald says the only weapons the handicapped three had were beer bottles. The fight took place in the middle of Eighteenth street.
 All the men involved except the two young men captured last night are married and have fam lilies.
 A later message from our Little Rock correspondent says: Trouble is again brewing in Argenta and before another day is passed the circulator of petition asking for annexation of Argenta to Little Rock will probably meet with some rough treatment. It was thought this proposition was dead when a circulator of petition some time ago came near having his house burned and was assault ed by unknown persons. There is now another who has under taken the circulation of the peti- ton and a trap is being laid to catch him by property owners on that side of the river who are strenuously opposed to re-annexa- ton. It is almost positive that one meeting with the determined property owners will make a be liever of the petition circulator.

SHOWERS END
 LONG DROUTH HOT WEATHER RECORD
Summer Has Been One of h.
 tensely Hot Days.
But Nights for the Most Part were Pleas ant-Precipitation Extreme
 ly Light.

Showers, light in Conway but heavy in most sections of the coun- ty and distributed generally over the south, followed by cloudy sky yesterday, are regarded as hav- ing broken the long drouth and put an end to the longest period of inte nsely hot weather ever experi- enced i'll this section.
 Although it is contended by some that the rain will result in little benefit to cotton, it is univer- sally regarded as a blessing to ; this section in every way. Live stock will be greatly benefited, as the pastures had burnt up and and stock water was at a premium near ly everywhere, but the relief from the intense heat and dust of the past three months will be worth more than all else combined. Summer. however, is still on and does not officially end until Sept. 23, while temperatures of 100 de- grees have been recorded in Octo- Der.
 Weather for Three Months.
 Through the kindness of Prof. G. H. Burr, the local volunteer observer for the United States weather bureau, we are able to print today a complete official rec ord of the weather from June to Sept. 5. According to this record of o7 days, there have been 7o days with maximum temperatures of above 90, while during the period from June "A to Sept 4, 72 days, the maximum was less than 90 but twice. There were s days when the maximum was above o5, IF days above 100, three days above Io5 and one day above no.
 The highest temperature, IIoH degrees, wa IS recorded on August IT, and broke all records for ten years, since August I2 and g, 1899, when the mercury here climbed to II2 degrees.
 On the other hand, the mini mum temperatures have been much lower than is usual, indicat- ing the nights:have not been unen- durable. The highest minimum recorded was 76 degrees, a temper ature usually regarded as very |lpleasant. Two years ago, in the two weeks from August to I3 in- elusive, the minimum was above So every night but four, above S5 on eight nights and above 90 on three nights, while in one 24-hour period the lowest temperature re- corded was o2. The highest tenn perature recorded during that peri cd was 1o7, on two days.
 The rainfall during the 97 days has been far below normal, amounting to total of only 5.Io ,,inches, nearly half of which fell tI-ing the first Y days of the period.
 The following table shows the maximum and minimum tempera- lures and amount of precipitation since June I. TT" indicates a trace of rainfall, or less than one hundredth of an inch.

EXPERTS in HAINES CASE
DIR. ans says Captain Was suffer-
ing from Impulsive Insanity
when He shot Annis.

FLUSHING, n. Y, Jan. THE trial Of
Thornton Jenkins Hams passed today to
that stage frequent. in homicide cases where
testimony is developed from medical ex-
perts and alienists. Hams counsel placed
on the stand DR.. L. Samuel Manson, an
alienlst, who, after listening to a hypothet-
ical question regarding Captain Hams san
ity, declared that on August Is, when Cap
tain Hams shot William e. Annis, he was
suffering from ~"impulsive insanity"
Thornton Hams long cross-examination
was concluded at the morning session and
the defense began the presentation of ex-
pert evidence to prove the insanity OF Cap
tain Hams. The prison physician was not
permitted to tell his opinion of Captain
Hams sanity, and It looked as il the de-
Tense woul dbe unable to get the alien
lists testimony before the jury. DR.. Man
son stated he had not treated Captain
Hams as his patient, but had simply OBJ
served him. 1t was then that the hypo-
thetical question, which required one hour
and fifteen minutes, was read to the alien
list.
DR.. Manson stated that Captain Hams
suffered from melancholia following the
shooting, and his mental condition showed
an Improvement. Before an objection could
be entered to an Interrogation the alier/
stated that Captain Hams was sane wher
he last saw him. The cross-examinatio
of DIR. Manson was under way when tht
court adjourned until tomorrow.
