CHICKENS AT LITTLE ROCK
Father Gallagher's Black 0rpingtons Making Hit-Less Than 200
 More Birds Than at Mena.

The kings and queens of the poultry yards of several states are on dress parade in the state capi tai this week, and though the Little Rock papers say there are from 1900 to 1900 birds, E. N Hopkins of Mena, who is an as. sistant superintendent, writes that there are about $50 entries, less than 200 more than were shown at Mena's first show last month. MT. Hopkins also writes tha it is impossible to properly heat the building in which the show is be ing held, that the light is very poor and the attendance small. Exhibitors are present from Texas, Tennessee and Mississippi, though naturally the most are from Arkansas.
 Queen" the Buff Orpiugton bullet shown here by the Brook wood Poultry Farm of Hope, is shown there in a gilded cage with mirrors at the back and IS said 10 be the drawing card of the show.
 Father Gallag hers pen of Black Orpiugtous are said to attract much attention and several orders have been placed for eggs at fancy prices.
 One of the important points of interest 10 raisers of fancy poul- try is that the judges are cutting heavily on many birds because of lack of weight. This fault is al. most entirely a result Of late matching, some birds at the show being less than six months old. Had 1t not been for this, Mena would have had many more en- tries, among them F. K. Biser's s prize winning Black Miuorc4s, and Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks from the Star Farm. 1t IS tue custom among experi- enced raisers to hatch show birds as soon ss possible after January lst of the year in which they ars 10 be shown.

GEN. K. G. SHAVER ONBATTLEOF SHILOH
Talks in High School Auditorium to Big Audience of Citizens and School Children -Corrects
 Errors of History.

General R. c. Shaver's lecture last Friday night to pupils of the High school and friends on The Battle of Shiloh" was well attended and well received. The High school audito- rum was filled to it's capacity despite the bad weather. After the school had sung America" the general spoke for an hour and thirty minutes and so interesting was his talk that many who heard it said it seemed that he had spoken not more thar thirty minutes. After putting few questions to the pupils, such as What Is War ?'' What Is Bat. tie" etc, he recounted the events leading up to the battle of Shiloh He then gave a very graphic and vivid description of the battle, how the men were collected, how many on each side. the condition of tho weather. the lay ofsthe land, the day of the week, the method of attack etc. He had intense attention ol the audience as he detailed the part that Shaver's brigade took in the en gagrment, especially as it was com posed entirely of Arkansas men Just at this juncture the genera was very much enthused as he tolt how his brigade made nine bayonel charges in one day, and how tho federal forces had retreated across the river.

thus far with so much interest, his face beaming with delight, he sud denly stopped. his face took on sad appearance, for here he had to tell how his beloved general, Albert Sid- ney Johnston, was killed. Many people try to claim the honor that General Johnston died in their arms, but General Shaver says that he saw him die lying on the ground in the especial care of Governor Harris of Tennessee. The tide of battle now turned and the engagement was soon over.
 In conclusion General Shaver told why this was the greatest battle west of the Appalachian mountains. He said that while he was an officer of some rank in the army, and did what he could for its success, it was the private in the ranks that de- served the honors. An interesting and closing remark was that bayo- net one hundred yards from man looked about one foot long, but when in about five or ten feet of man and in the hands of an enemy, it looked as long as a fence rail and not many men would stand for it to come closer.
 When the General had taken his seat. he received a long applause.
 The audience. led by Miss Lula Clark then sang Dixie" with such force and effect that General Shaver had to tell them about Dixie and "The Old Gray Horse"
 A motion was then made and car ried to extend a vote of thanks to General Shaver for his able address, and the meeting adjourned.

morning and is the first stcl
 toward the removal of the Kansas | City Southern division headquar
 ters, shops and roundhouse iron
 Mena. The complaint was very
 lengthy and sets out the whole
 history of the contentious between
 the railway company and the cit
 izens. The injunction is to pre-
 vent the citizens and property owners, separately or collectively,
 from bringing suit against the
 railway company, either in law or equity, growing out of the facts and circumstances set out in the complaint pending the full determination of the case in the Federal court and the adjudica- tion of the rights of each.
 It is alleged that individual suits would probably run into the thousands and result in intermin- able and expensive litigation. The questions involved in this suit, which IS brought on the equity side, are of great impor- tance to every town which has ever paid a bonus to a railroad company or has or intends to con- tract with one for the location of division headquarters.
 The contention of the people of Mena and the basis of the suits they are threatening to bring to prevent the removal of the divi- sion headquarters and shops is that purchases of town lots were made and improved upon the printed representations that Mena would be the central division point and the location of the shops, etc that these representa- tions were known to the railway
 ompany, which gave them en- dorsement by locating the shops, leadquarters, etc.; that the pur- ,hasers bought upon the faith in he representations and now have a binding and enforcible contract with the rail way company.
 The complaint sets out the his- tory of the building of the rail- way by a construction company under written contract with the railway. From a point 20 miles south of the Kansas line, the road was constructed for the old Kan sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf rail- way. referred to in the petition as the Cult company, to distinguish it from the present company. IL IS denied that the representations relied upon by the people of Mena were made by the Gulf company.
 Moreover 1t is asserted that on account of failure to meet sthe of the mortgage the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railway was put into the hands of receivers, appointed by the United States court for the west ern district of Missouri on April 1, 1899, and was later sold under order of court, and reorganized as Kansas City Southern. The pc. lition denies that it acquired the obligations of the Gulf company and adds that if it did and the claim of the citizens of Mena was an obligation of the Gulf compa- nv the nhlieafinn was vnid and

The Mena divisioc remova fight is Un.
 The Kansas City Souther Railroad Company hss started by applying to the federal cour for an order restraining the citi zens of Mena from enjoining tn road from removing the diyisioi from Mena.
 Thursday evening Federal Off CT Bean of Fort Smith arrived ir Mena on No. }, which was nearly three hours late owing to an eu' zine failure at Stilwell and fur ther delay of an hour at Spirc waiting for Bean and the pa pers. When the officer arrived he pro- ceeded to look up list of Mens citizens and serve notices or them to appear in federal court at Fort Smith December l7 tc show cause why they should not be enjoined from bringing an in. junction suit against the Kansas City Southern railroad to prevent the removal of the Meua division.
 The following from the Fort Smith Times Record of yesterday tells the company's end of the proceeding:
 By the filing of a suit in the United States court for the West ern district of Arkansas in which an injunction is asked against every citizen of Mena and the sur, rounding country, the Kansas City Southern railway has opened the fight with Mena over the re. moval of the shops, round houses aud division headquarters from the place.
 At 11:20 Thursday morning Oncer Deputy Bean rushed from the Federal building to serve process upon the defendants. Or dcrs had been issued to the con- ductor to hold the south-bou train, if necessary, for the officer, as he was on very important com pany business.
 The defendants named in the suit are: k. M. Quigley, John II. Hamilton, G. B. Dennis, w. A. Bishop, J. K. Davis, F. N. Han cock, c. A. Smith, G. l.. Loch- ridge, E. H. Donaldson, w. P. Parks, J. I. Alley, J. G. Jackson, M. E. Legate, George Legate, James D. Shaver, H. w. Card we'll and l.. L. Acruman, for themselves and as representatives of Mena and the surrounding country.
 The suit was filed Thursday

contrary to public policy and fur.
 ther that it has been fully satis- fled by the headquarters, shops, etc, having been maintained al
 Mena for 16 years.
 The petition recites that Mena made an excellent central division point prior to March 4, 1908, when the act of congress, entitled an "Act to Promote the Safety of Enployes of Railways prescrlb- ing their bours of employment, etc, became effective, but since that date the location is imprac- ticable, infeasible and cannot be maintained without congestion of freight at that point, the impair ment of the service and the rem dering of the company liable to heavy penalties for violation of the act of congress above men, toned.
 It is admitted that in 1957 the company made survey for the location of a low grade route and that survey left Mena off the main line, but upon branch. It was later ascertained that the low grade line could not be built without an excessive expenditure, greatly out of proportion to the revenues of the company. It is admitted that l.. F. Loree is the chairman of the board and the executive head of the company and that he informed a committee of citizens of Mena, who waited upon him on March 13, 1907, that the building of the low grade line had been abandoned and that Mena would remain on the main line, but 1t denied that Mir. Loree informed the committee the shops and headquarters, etc., would re- main at Mena. It is asserted that had he done so the promise would not be binding, as it was made without consideration and not in writing as required by the statute of frauds. 1t is asserted the threatened action of tue prop erty owners of Mena and vicinity IS cloud upon the railway prop erty and an interference with the free management of the property by the company, which has al- ready spent large sums in the pur. chase of property at other local:- ties and has made appropriations for the improvement of the same, and the removal of the shops and headquarters from Mena to points which will enable the railway to comply with the acts of con- gress. The complaint is sworn to by J. A. Edson, president of the comp any.
 The summons is returnable the first day of the January term, January }, 1910, and the petition asks that upon the hearing the temporary restraining order be made permanent.
