EARL DILL SHOWS
 LITTLE ANXIETY
Boy Apparently Does Not Appreciate Gravity of Charge On Which He Will Go tO Trial Next Monday.

Little Rock, Ark, July S.-Appaf- ently without realization of the gray ity of the crime with which he is charged or anxiety about the prob- able outcome of bis trial, which is set for next Monday, Earl Dill, 17 years old, is taking his confinement at the county jail as a matter of course, ac- cor(ling to his jailers. He talks at times interestingly about the case, but without apparent personal concern in it, frequently asking what the public and people generally think about the assault and his arrest, but display ing no more concern than if it were problem in mathematics.
 Since he recovered from Q little nervousness displayed when he was being secretly spirited away from Lit tie Rock immediately followign the ar rest, Dill has not broken down for a minute, steadfastly maintaining a bold front and apparently don't-care dis position. His position toward the charge has been a marvel to every officer who has talked with him, and all declare he does not realize the seriousness of the offense he is charged with
 Much Preparatory Activity.
 Both the defense and the state are working steadily on the case. prepar- ing for the trial, five days hence. It known that the defense has taken q large number of dispositions and that the officers have been active in gath ering threads of evidence tending more firmly to connect the prisoner with the assault. but few details of what has been accomplished have been obtanable Each side is work ing quietly and refusing to disclose the new evidence being developed.
 An attorney from Pine Bluff has been in the city working on the case at his own expense, merely because of interest in the girls family, &C., cording to the officers, and has rem dered considerable assistance.
 May Reduce the Charge.
 A rumor that when the case comes to an issue, the charge will have to be reduced to attempted assault, has been current since the actual evi- dence gathering began, the claim be- ing made that the graver charge can not be satisfactorily sustained. The report cannot be confirmed

ARKANSAS LEAGUE
 SEASON IS OVER
All of the Clubs Agree tO Quit, as 9 Result of the Universally Poor Patronage Given the Game.

Helena, July S.-President Rid 7 this afternoon gave t30' On the Ar kansas League circuit terminating tho second season of the Arkansas League, the fortune of which has been stormy and full of breakers and va riety.
 MT. Rider was sorely disappointed that the League could not be tided Attendance has taken a perpendicu- lar drop and every team in the League is behind and getting in deeper; and not only that, found that one or two teams were on the verge of q drops out, and I felt that I could not in good faith allow the different teams to take the jumps which would have occurred tonight, only to get out on the road and have the League blow and thus entail them in greater loss, and I therefore put the matter of sus- pension up to the directors and took a telephone vote which resulted in a vote to terminate the season after to- days game"
 Rider Is Disappointed.
 Tt is a great shame, however that such ball as is being played in this League is not being patronized. When this League was opened no one

Speaking of the Helena team, he said: That team represents, to say noth- ing of the expense, five months of the hardest work I ever did, and they are the greatest minor League team in the United States I regret to see them split up, but hope they all land we'll"

They Had the Stuff.

Tommy Graham and "Bill' Rose, Of
Roundup, were in the city last week
and called upon the Democrat. Tommy
says that the communication recently
sent to the Butte Miner relative to the
bid Of the Roundup Athletic Club Of
$l25,OOO for the Jeffries-J johnson fight
is tissue of falsehoods. This article
was signed Roundup Central Com
mittee" and according to Graham and
Rose, this committee is altogether
mythical and the article was written
by some onery cuss who has no more
pride than an infant flea. An out
rageous libel was perpetratcd when
this buncombe artist wrote the Miner
that the men who made the fight offer
had to borrow the price Of the tele-
gram. Beside of scores of hamlets
which made fabulous offers for the big
mill, Roundup shows up as a first
water metropolis and insinuation that
the fight fans OF the Miracle OF the
Musselshell" are four hushers is the
product of malicious attempt to
discredit honorable gentlemen of the
best coal camp on earth. Inasmucf
as the place for holding the mill ha.
not yet been selected, Tommy and
Rose says that Roundup's offer still
stands and will continue to stand un.
til the foundation for the big amphi-
theater is laid.

CALLS FOR AN
EXTRA SESSION
Governor Norris Last Friday Issued
Formal Proclamation Convening
Legislators Monday.
LEGISLATORS Willing
Session Will Consider Capitol Contract
and Appropriate Money for

Governor Edwin J.. Norris last Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock issued procla-
nation convening the eleventh legisla-
tive assembly in extraordinary session
to take action on the present capitol
building controversy. The legislature
will meet in Helena at noon Monday,
Dec. II, and under the governors call
is empowered to make such amend
ments to the act authorizing the con-
struction of said additions as the legis-
tive assembly in it's wisdom may deem
advisable" and also to make an ap-
preparation for the support of the pub
licity bureau for the year 1910, this ap-
preparation having been omitted from
the general appropriation bill through a
clerical error at the last regular ses-
sion.
Came as Surprise.
The governors action in cOnvening
the legislature in special session came
as a distinct urprise to the other mem
bers Of the state board of examiners
who, with the governor, have been in
volved in the controversy which has
ragged about the subject of the capitol
building since the board awarded the
contract for the construction OF the
wings and gave it's sanction to the use
of Bedford, Indiana, stone in the build

Yoder nor Attorney General A. J. Galen
knew that Governor Norris had made
up his mind to call the extra session
until the proclamation was presented to
the former by Will Aiken, the govern
or's private secretary.
Refers to Strike.
In his proclamation the governor
calls attention to the petition of the
lawmakers and their agreement to serve
without pay; to the demand for the use
of Montana stone and also to the larg-
est possible use of other Montana ma
terials, and also to the fact that strike
is in progress at the Bedford quarries,
which might cause delay in securing the

There were rich men, poor men, beggar

Bitter Fight Predicted.
Although residents of Eastern Mon

the view that it would take the legis.
lature but a few days to make the I'd

pointed out that the legislature may
undertake to designate the particular
stone to be used in the construction of
the building, and that in case this is at
tempted the owner of every stone quarry
in the state will try to have his stone
designated. In addition to this there
was strong sentiment in the last leg
islature for the use of granite in the
capitol wings, and this sentiment is
sure to be revived.
There is already in the possession of
the state board of examiners consid

the foundries which have made advances
on the subject admit that the cost Of

steel in the east, there is bound to be
a spirited contest on this subject.
