as co-counsel filed a suit in the Jackson Circuit Court against SiXty-flve fire insurance com panies in the state doing business asking the assessment of penal- ties in the amount of S1,OOO,OO0 each the cancellation and revoca- - tion of their licenses, and their busting from the State.
 It is alleged that the companies are acting in violation Of the anti trust law. There were intimation in the city during the day, yes- terday tha tsome such action was contemplated
 The popular opinion in Little Rock is that this action is uncall- ed for and will work a great and unnecessary hardship upon the insurance companies and the peo- pie; that there never was q time in the history of the state when there was less cause for such a proceeding and that no good will come of it.
 When the local and general ag- ents in Little Rock were Ques- tiOned today about the matter, all announced that they had no sta tement to make.
 There are very few companies in the State that are not included in the wholesale suit that has been instituted at Newport which appears to have become the storm center of trust-busting in the state. since the suit against the so-called book trust was in- stituted there several days ago for a total of S2,OOO.OOO.

BASE BALLRIOT
 AT LITTLE ROCK
Yesterdays Game Ended in a Row Umpire fit With Bottles -Gamel
 Forfeited to Memphis.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 20 - Little Rock baseball fans were treated to an exhibition of John OBrien's inefficiency as an umpire yesterday afternoon and only the prompt action of officers prevent ed his being roughly handled by the mob which surged onto the ball field. O'Brien forfeited the game to Memphis, 9 to 0 and was held under the stand until the crowd was Somehwat scat tered. He was then escorted through a back gate to a buggy and hurriedly driven to the city. Umpire Rudderham, who was of- ficiating with him, received a gash on the head from pop bot tie, thrown by a rulfian in the bleachers. The game had gone through to the last of the eighth inning Little Rock playing like a cross county lot up until that time, allowing Memphis to make six runs while the Travellers were getting two. They made error af- ter error on the eastiest kind of chances allowing Memphis to run up the score. Finally O'Brien called a Memphis runner out at the plate, when he was apparent ly safe and the fans began at the umpire. Tn the eighth in ming Little Rock filled the bases and Sentz hit a hot grounder down first base line. It Knocked dust from out of the tip of the bag as it passed over. The ball went to deep right field and two runners had crossed and the other was almost at the platec when IO'Brien called it foul. Tue players. were about him in an instant and Flood the Little Rock second baseman took the lead in the remarks which were address ed to the umpire. O'Brien finally ordered him from the game and grounds. Flood refused to go. O. Brien pulled his watch and Flood went to the bench, Manager Finn advising him to stay and ordering O'Brien from the grounds. Rud- derham who was calling decisions on the bases rushed in and went to O'Brien's assistance. He made a defiant remark to the bleach critics who had swarmed up to the wire netting which held them from field. AS he turned away a pop bottle took him beside the head The umpire was rushed to the players bench and water pour ed on his head. He then made an effort to get to the bleachers when he was stopped. Bottles raired about OBrien but all missed him, hitting players or spectators. O'Brien then forfeited the game and went into a seclud- ed spot beneath the grand stand until he could be taken from the grounds. This is the same umpire who has been escorted from the field in Atlanta, Montgomery Birmingham and other cities of the circuit to keep him from be- ing mobbed. Should he appear on the field this afternoon it is fear ed angered fans will make an- other attempt to get vengeance. Umpire FitzSimmons was in the stand and also went to O'Bren' s rescue.

A citizen of the county was be-
fore the board of county commits
sioners at recent session and
asked for some kind of an injunc-
ton to prevent pollution by sheep
of an irrigating ditch that flowed
by his house. He represented that
the water vas used for domestic
purposes, that the sheep refused to
stay out of tine ditch though often
requested so to do, and further
more the laws provide severe pen
alties for pollution of waters used
for domestic purposes. The com
missioners after due deliberation
recommended that the citizen dig
a well as it would not require much
labor and the ditch for many miles
ran through open country where
sheep roamed at will. And still nc
amount of argument will convince
that citizen that he has not been
cheated of his rights and ground
down under the iron heel of some
monopoly or other. a couple of
days of properly directed effort
would give him well of pure
water in his own door yard but
instead of digging in and getting
for himself what he wants he
spends his days and nights in
lamentations because somebody
