S|000 REQUEST
 FOR HENDRIX

Late yesterday afternoon Com missioner James Thomas received letter stating that Mrs. Emaline D. Triggs of Eureka Springs, who died few days ago, had provided in her will bequest of SIooo for Hendrix College. Mrs. Triggs, who was quite wealthy, has been a friend of Hendrix College for a number of years. About ten or twelve years ago she advanced money to pay some debts which threatened the existence of the college, and has manifested her friendship for the institution in other ways.
 The amount of the gift was erro- neously reported in Little Rock paper this morning as being SIo,- 900.

used the voting power granted them ill the hypothecated shares and busted him from the manage ment of the company, placing in charge H. H. Beekman, who was secretary and treasurer of the cor poration.
 The plaintiff claims that since he was busted from the company, the defendants have grossly mis- managed the business and have been reckless and extravagant in their expenditures, creating un- necessary debts against the copora- ton, and that they have never per mitted any dividend to be paid on stock of the company.
 He further states that in July, Ioo6, the Freeman Lumber Co.,, through his efforts, purchased from Mrs. M. l.. House, hardwood, oak, gum and cypress timber, sit uated on $500 acres of land, pay ing therefor S35, ,ooo, and that this timber is now worth S75, 1000. Under the contract, Freeman states that the hardwood timber was to be removed within six years and six months and the cypress timber within ten years and six months from date of contract, but that no practical efforts have been made to remove the timber and 1t will be impossible with the present equip ment to do so within the time pre- scribed in the contract, and unless steps are taken at once large part of the timber will revert to Mrs. House. He also claims that the company has bought other timber under similar conditions which will revert to the owners unless re- moved at once and that large quan titles of logs bought by the con- pany and rafted downCadron creek have been sunk and lost through the neglect and incompetence of the defendants. Another charge is that the commissary operated by the company. instead being profit

 Freeman also claims that by reason of their mismanagement the credit of the company has been impaired to such an extent that commercial houses refuse to grant it any credit, and the defendants by neglecting to pay bills incurred have permitted suits to be brought against the company, putting 1t unnecessarily to the expense ot court costs and attorneys fees.
 The plaintiff states that the de fendants have assumed control oi all books'and records olthe corpora ton and refuse to give him any in formation as to the condition ot al fairs of the company. The com plaint closes by praying that re- ceiver he appointed by the court to take charge of the properties ot the company and that the defend ants be required to make a com plete accounting of the business since its organization.
 The Freeman Lumber Co.,, H. H. Beekman, T. H. Beekman, b. C. Dow and l.. A. Hodge are named as defendants in the suit. The plaintiff is represented by George w. Clark and K. w. Rob-

RECEIVERSHIP APPLIED FOR
6. D. Freeman Sues Freeman
 Lumber Company.
Plaintiff Claims Msmanagement in Affairs of Company From Which He Says
 He Has Been Ousted.

Alleging that, although he is the owner of 243 of the 25o shares of the Freeman Lumber Company, whose mills are situated at Glea- son, six miles west of Conway, he has been busted from the company and that it's affairs are being grossly mismanaged, S. D. Free man this morning filed in the Faulkner chancery court a com plaint asking that the affairs of the company be placed in the hands ot a receiver.
 The plaintiff claims that prior to December, 1904, he was engaged in the sawmill and timber business, with total assets of about S27, ,ooo, on which there was an indebted ness of about S7, ,ooo. During the fall of 1904, he alleges, the defen- dants, T. H. and H. H. Beekman of Kansas City, persuaded him to organize a corporation, which was formed under the laws of Missouri.
 Under the articles, he claims, he was the owner of 243 shares, K. Gronoway, l.. $. Diven, Stuart Taylor and G. H. Lowrey owned one share each, and T. H. Beck man owned two shares. The plain tiff alleges that the defendants rep resented to him it would be nec- essary to hypothecate his shares in order to borrow money to pay the s ,ooo indebtedness of the plant and he turned them over to T. H. Beekman. It was also understood he asserts, that Freeman was to. be president and general manager oi the company, but he was allowed to exercise this power for only short time, when the defendan

SOLAR ECLIPSE
 VISIBLE HERE

A total eclipse of the sun will bring night an hour earlier this evening The eclipse will begin about 6:Io. The time for sunset tonight is 7;Io, so that the un- usual and spectacular, not to say uncapny effect oi total eclipse earlier in the day will be almost entirely lost.
 At the time the sun disappears over the horizon the eclipse will have included about one half of the solar area.
 Owing to the lateness of the eclipse that small part of the states population which is so ignorant and illiterate as to know nothing of eclipses, will be spared the fright of their lives, for the apparent ex: tinguishment for good and all of Old Reliable Sol ill midday is calculated to strike horror and dis pair to the breast of the most in- trepid, who is ignorant of the natural cause.
 There will be total eclipse of the moon, visible here, Nov. 26. There are four eclipses scheduled for this year the first having been that of the moon, on June 5.
