tween a joke and serious intent, was
bantered by a number of his COM
patriots in GreektOwn Sunday Finally,
fearing that they intended harm to him,
he drew a revolver and fired four shots
at the crowd. dispensing them most ef-
fectually.
When he appeared in police court yes
terday he was accompanied by his
sweetheart, Talka Oswald, d pretty little
Greek girl, who acted as adviser and
modern Portia. So we'll did she present
the facts of the case to the court that
her fiance was fined but so. Lack

SOurceful. and securing permission from
the court for Fadel to be allowed to go
in her charge. she took him TO Greek
town. where the necessary amount was

|NCENDARY FIRE GUST GRAND VDER
House at Sharpsburg
Fired, it is Charged

Rocky Mount, n. G., FEB. 3.-An
incendiary fire at Sharpsburg this
morning has rouse the people of
that place n at an early hour this
morning the authorities were in COM
municatiOn with the police here in an
effort to secure b~loOdhOunds from this
place IN hopes of tracking the guilty
party. The house destroyed was Oc-
cupied by Berry Spicer, q negro. and
owned by Squire H. c. Robbins. The
burning was done at an early hour this
morning and the house was totally
consumed. There had been no fire
IN the house nor any place from which
It could catch for the past twenty-four
hours and there is an abundance of
evidence that the fire was incendiary.
The trouble seems to have original
ed with the wife of Berry Spicer, who
had trouble with her neighborS, and
yesterday the threat was made that
they would burn the house to the
grOund and last night a watch was
kept until midnight. but no one at
tenn p to carry out the threat. SO the
watch was called off and the occupants
went to bed, only to awake this morn
ing to find the house in flames and
they were forced to flee for their
lives.
The residents of that place are very
much wrought up over the matter and
they are making every effort to land
the guilty party. The case is a
capital one and interesting develop
ments are expected. There is plenty
Of evidence as to why the burning was
done and no doubt the guilty parties
will be easily a~pprehended. The blood
hOunds arrived about eleven O'Clock
and will be put on the track at once.

BALDWIN ISLANDER
 CASE DISMISSED

Little Rock, Aug. 24.-The islander charge against Mrs. A. D. Baldwin, was yesterday afternoon dismissed in the court of Justice E.. H. Sanders, on order of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tom Norfeet The charges were filed Saturday night by A. D. Baldwin. The at. torneys for the plaintiff asked that the case be dismissed, saying the statutes did not mention the crime with which Mrs. Baldwin had charged her husband. and that the statutes also fail to permit a wife to islander her husband. This puts the case back on the divorce pro- ceedings brought by Mrs. Baldwin and which will come up for hear ing in the chancery court.

WATERWORKS ORDINANCE 10
 PASS TONIGHT.

An ordinance organizing the entire city of Conway into an im- provement district for the purpose of constructing municipal water works system will be passed by the city council tonight, unless some thing unforeseen should arise to prevent such action. The petition for the organization of the district is ready for presentation. It con- tains only about so names of real estate owners in the city, Secretary Banner making no effort to secure additional signers after the required number had attached their names. City Attorney R. w. Robins has drafted the ordinance laying out the district and it will doubtless be taken up and passed immediately following the presentation of the petition.

RAPID PROGRESS
 ON CAPITOL WORK

Little Rock, Aug. 24.-By to- morrow night the last of the old concrete floor placed in the state capitol building by Caldwell & Drake will be torn away and the building remain nothing but d shell, the roof supported by steel columns and four bare walls. A full crew of stone masons were placed on the buildi-g yesterday and the actual laying of stone has commenced. This will be contin- ued until the building is completed on the exterior, even to the large stone dome. It will be fully a week yet before the concrete mixer will and be set up. The work of replacing the floors and the walls will then go ahead as rapidly as the tearing out was done. There are over 100 convicts working on the building and they have made it look as though something was being done in that locality. All of the large derricks are in work ing order and no difficulty will be experienced in getting even the largest stone in place.

YOUNG PROVES
 HIMSELF SANE

Little Rock, Aug. 24-D. T. Young, young man of the city who drives soda pop wagon and has amassed some little property, was the defendant in peculiar ac ton in the county court yesterday afternoon. He was arrested on an affidavit sworn out by B. F. Fitz- hugh, a relative, who alleged Young is insane.
 The law requires that jury must be empanelled to hear such cases when they are brought into the county court, and I2 prominent business men sat upon the jury. The father of Young, brothers and sisters all testified that he had made many threats against them and for that reason they thought he was insane, as he had no reason to make the threats. They admit he made the threats only when an gry, One brother was particular lily bitter in his testimony and it was shown he and the defendant had fight when boys and had never become reconciled.

NEGRO MEETING IS
 GETTING INTERESTING

The meeting which is being held by the unknown tongue faction of the colored holiness church, is becoming interesting and the colored people of the city are get ting very much worked up over the matter. Elder Justus Bowe, assisted by others, is conducting the meeting. During the first part of the services the singing and preaching is in the English tongue, but in the latter part when the ex- citement becomes so great, the unknown tongue" gets into their mouths and it is then that business picks up. A tract has been issued by the church, encouraging dance, which is called the dance of the Lord" and many take part in it during the services. The III meeting, although 1t has been run ming nearly three weeks, will con- tinue for several days yet.

FARMERS SHOW
 MUCH INTEREST
SUCCESS OF FAIR IS SURE
Exhibit Hall Plans Enlarged to
 Meet Demand for Space.
Noted Farmers Union Speaker to be Here on Farmers Day, Second
 Day ot Fair.

That the first annual fair in this city, to be held here October 4 to 7 inclusive, will be decided suc- cess is the opinion of those in touch with the situation. Nothing less than four days of continuous rain on the fair dates, they say, can prevent it's being the biggest event in the history of the county. Since the distribution ot the fair catalogues during the past week large interest has been manifested by the farmers of the county, and the indications are that more than half of the farmers in the county will be represented with exhibits Manager Frank Farris, who is now giving practically all of his time to the promotion of the tair, has made several trips to farms near Conway to interest the people in the fair, and has found them al ready full of enthusiasm. He says he was greatly surprised to find so much fine stock and farm products, many of which would not only do credit to county fair, but would in all probability win prizes in the state tair.
 On account of the demand for space the plans for the exhibit hall have been considerably enlarged.
 Considerable interest is being taken in Homecoming Day." the opening day of the fair, and it seems likely that there will be an
