MUCH TROUBLE OVER CALF.
Case May Go to Supreme Court Over
 Trifing Amount.

Trfling Amount.
 Pine Bluff.-A repleyin suit to de- termine the rightful ownership of q little black yearling, the total value of which is about $5 or $6, and which was heard before Magistrate L. E. Cheek in this city, brought about half of the residents of the little town of Humphrey to Pine Diufr to testify in the case, and, because of an appeal, which was taken by At torneys T. Havis Nixon and J. M. Shaw, who represented the loser in the litigation, the muchly-mixed af- fair has not been settled after all. It threatens to rival the celebrated Illinois calf case. When a greater part of the day had been taken up in testimony and the arguments, which lasted for several hours, were con cluded, Magistrate Cheek ruled that one of the claimants, Simpson, was not the rightful owner of the little black yearling, but that the evidence tended to show that Anthony was more liable to be it's real owner. Meanwhile other claimants in Arkan- sas county had filed a cross bond there to insure the safety of the year. ling or money equivalent thereto. The attorneys for Simpson say that they will take the case to the Supreme Court.
