Gov. X. O. Pindall returned last night from Arkansas City, where he has been at the bedside of a sick mother in order to be pre- sent at the meeting of the peni tentiary board today when the hostlities between the board and the Arkansas Brick & Manufac- turing Go. over the surrender of the convicts held by the contrac- tors under a 10 year contract which expired on the first day of the new year. When the board convened, every member was present and was also the attorneys for the corpora tion which declines to surrend- CT the convicts. The written O. pinion of Attorney General w. F. Kirby was read before the board in which he holds the lease is now invalid having expired and if the contractors have any re- course for the state not supply ing the full number of convicts it is by civil action against the Board,' but the contractors can not legally hold the convicts un- less they pay S1.1O per day for
 each man until the legislature decides what to do with the 1 felons. The decision also states | the board members nor their bondsmen cannot be held liable | for the failure of the contractors to get their full number of con- yicts. After the reading of the opinion the attorneys for the con tractors began to argue their side of the question before the Board. It is probable the outcome of the session which promises to be stormy, will be the recalling of the convicts, which order will probably be resisted by the con- tractors.

Little Rock, Jan. 4.-Arkansas geologists and weather exports classify the prophecy of Prof. Gould of the Oklahoma State Geological survey that Oklahoma Arkansas and Texas is soon to be visited by an earthquake as pure and adulterated humor. This prophecy was heralded all over the United States Saturday night in which the Oklahoma man of learning predicted a cy- clone for the three states more destructive than the recent Mes sina disaster. Local geOlOgiStS say the formation Of the earth in the three states is not the kind which is liable to be visited by the shakers, and though there is a possibility of such a thing happening, the probability is very remote. The local students of earth forma tion call atten- tion also to earthquakes always occurring in countries near large bodies of water, and usually in vicinities of active or extinct volcanoes. Officials at the Wea- ther Bureau station here consid- CT the opinion of Prof. Gould to be huge joke and say they will have no fears in the future, but continue daily to occupy quar- ters on the top floor of the tal- lest building in Little.

In the closest match ever held
in the southwest, Rafael Fraus-
tro, the champion roper Of Mex
leo, won the fifteen-steer match
from Ed Hall, Of Mutt, N. M,
the American champion, by the
close margin Of twenty seconds.
Hall led up to the last steer, and
only had to tie the last in forty
two seconds or less to win the
match. The steer in coming out
of the chute, however, took to
the fence and Hall couldn't get
his rope over the steers horns.
1t was this hard luck which cost
him the match and the purse of
$1,000.
Fraustro got away good when
he caught his first steer within
rs yards Of the line and tied him
in 81 4.5 seconds. Hall had a
little hard luck in his first steer
getting up on him after he had
thrown him the first time. He
made the tie in so 2-5 seconds.
Freustro on his second steer
missed his throw, finally getting
his steer in the slow time of
1.24-5. Hall made a nice throw
on q very fast steer for his Sec
ond tie. The time on this steer
was 80 is seconds, his best for
the day.
On his third steer, the Mexi-
can had considerable hard luck
and lost much time. This steer
was the swiftest and strongest
of the match and Fraustro had
to throw him five times. His
time on this steer was 1:57 AS.
Hall made another nice throw
and tie on his third steer, tieing
in Ill 2-5 seconds.
The Mexican made exceeding
ly fast time on his next four
steers, his average for the four
being "a seconds. His time on
his last steer was 26 2-5, the
fastest tie of the match. Hall
fell down on his last four steers.
as 1t took him one minute and
fifteen seconds to tie his fourth
steer, 40 3-5 seconds to tie his
fifth, one minute and 16 seconds
to bring his sixth down, and his
last steer took him one minute
and 8 seconds. Fraustro's av-
erage for the second days rop-
ing was one minute and one
second.
Halls average, l.02; Fraus-
tro's average, LOO 3.5. Ell Paso
