years much complaint has resulted over the inability to get returns from some townships until several days after the primary and the alleged Itampering with the returns after they have been made out. This plan, it is thought, will remedy this trouble, as the result must be made public inn medi ately after the count has been made in each township and the official returns must necessarily conform with the result as posted up at the precinct.
 On account of the ballots being counted and the result announced inn mediately, it is probable that the re- suit in most contests will be known before midnight Tuesday. The issue of the Log Cabin Democrat following the election will contain the unofficial returns as complete as it is possible to secure them.
 The election will also be the first held under the new primary election law passed by the last legislature.

JACK KING FOR MARSHAL

This issue of he Log Cabin Demo- crat contains the announcement of J. A. (Jack) King as a candidate for city marshal of Conway, subject to the action of the municipal Democratic primary election. Mr. King served as marshal for about two years before Conway was made city of the second class, having been elected by the town council. During this time he was in charge of the street and improvement work, and his experience in that capa- city will be valuable to his should he be elected. He made the race four years ago and in the primary ran a tie with his opponent, being defeated by narrow margin in the general election. MT. King is well qualified for the position and has large num- ber of friends who will support him,

MRS. ELLIS SEES DONAGHEY

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-Governor G. W. Donaghey is still considering the petitions for pardon for W. Y Ellis, who killed N P. Willis in this city last summer. The governor has not yet told anybody what he will do, and all statements as to what will be the final outcome are mere guess work. Mrs. Ellis called on the governor yes terday and had lengthy conference with him. She says the governor did not tell her what he would do, and it was impossible for her to tell what his intentions were. By actual count 10,- 403 names are on the petitions asking asking the governor to grant Ellis a pardon.

CHRISTMAS PASSES
 WITHOUT A TRAGEDY

Although it may be little early to boast of the fact, it seems hat Christmas week in Faulkner county will pass without tragedy this year for the first time in number of years.
 On last Christmas day at Naylor, Alden Chism, constable of Newton township, shot and killed Lum Me Daniel, while attempting to place him under arrest. Chism was exonerated by the coroner's jury.
 On Christmas eve of 1907, w. A. Hall, a farmer living near Lollie, shot and killed Mrs. Emma Hearness and her 18-year-old son, Tom, following a dispute over two dogs belonging to young Hearness, which Hall had pre- viously killed. Hall was acquitted for killing the boy and was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sen fenced to three months imprisonment for killing Mrs. Hearness. Hall serv- ltu iiio cOilbSiiNC uuiiiiS bhO Hl9b PoiN of this year. Three days after this tragedy, John Bryant fell dead at his home, near Holland, death being oc- .casioned by heart failure brought on by fight with his brother-in-law, H. Oscar McCord. Bryant's 16-year-old son, Homer, seized a shot gun which had just dropped from his fathers lifeless hands, and fired at McCord, killing him instantly. Homer Bryant was never indicted for the killing.
 A few days before Christmas, 1906, A. B. Winters shot and killed Charles Carnahan on his farm 10 miles south west of Conway, and was acquitted at the January, 1909, term of the Faulk- ner circuit court. A day or two later Mat Childress, negro living near Wooster was called to his door at night and fatally shot, dying from the injury the next day. Jim Wood ard, colored school teacher, was tried for the crime, but the state failed to make out case against him, and no

 Considerable local interest attaches to the races for constable and road overseer of Cadron township. On ac- count of casting over 1 ,000 votes at the general election of September, 1908, this township is entitled to elect five justices of the peace, and there are just five candidates for the posi- tions: D. L. Smith, W. B. Wilson, E. kuykendall, L. B. Atkieson and T. H. Higgs Messrs. Wilson, Kuykendall and Atkieson are seeking reelection.
 For constable Oscar L. Honea is a candidate for the second term and is opposed by E. L. King and Joe B. Beavers. For road overseer, Walter Bowen, the present incumbent, is op posed by E. A. Dunn.
 A new feature of the approaching primary election is the requirement that the judges and clerks remain without adjournment and count the votes after the polls close and that they post in a conspicuous place at the polling place immediately after the count is completed the result of the balloting in that township. Secretary R. w. Pobins of the central committee has furnished the officers of each pre- cinct with blank posters on which this result will be placed and certified to by the judges and clerks. In past

COUNTY PRIMARY
 WILL BE WARM
CLOSE FINISHES LIKELY
RACES FOR STATE SENATOR AND SHERIFF ESPECIAL
 LY INTERESTING

In less than one week the people of Faulkner county will know who will represent them in each house of the next legislature and who will serve as their county officers for the two years beginning October 31, 1910, as the county Democratic primary cleo tion will be held on next Tuesday, Jan uary 4. The present campaign, which is one of the shortest in the history of the county, is in many respects the warmest. Every candidate is apparent ly making the fight of his life for the position he seeks and county politics is the subject of discussion in nearly every group of nen gathered together on the streets.
 While nearly all the races are in teresting, those which seem to attract the most attention are the contests for state senator and sheriff. For the for mer position James R. Donnell and A.. C.. Martin of this city are candidates and both are making vigorous cam paign. For sheriff one of the hardest political battles ever witnessed in Faulkner county is being fought, the candidates being J. s. Johnson, at present deputy sheriff; Anon M. Led better, at present circuit clerk, and Rufus Haydon, who has entered coun- ty politics for the first time.
 The candidates speak today at Guy, Thursday at Holland Friday at Mt. Vernon, Saturday at Vilonia, and will end their brief canvass of the county at Conway on Monday, the day before the primary.

EXAMINING TRIAL
 OF DONNELL IS ON

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Quitman, Dec. 29.-Justice of the Peace J. M. Lay at 1 o'clock this af- ternoon began the examining trial of S. Elliott Donnell, charged with killing Robert F. Parks at this place Sunday night. The trial will probably not be completed until tonight.
 ANOTHER STORY OF THE TRAGEDY
 The Log Cabin Democrat received in today's mail from one of it's most trustworthy correspondents the fol- lowing account of Sundays tragedy at Quitman
 Quitman, Dee. 27.-Between 6:30 and o'clock last night Marshal A. s. 1 Donnell shot and killed Bob Parks while attempting to arrest him for dis turbing the peace and quiet of the town. Parks had been drinking free
 y for the past week. He was arrested of drunkenness and carried before Mayor Hammock, who had set his trial for tomorrow
 It seems that Parks had been drink ing freely all day yesterday and about I5:30 or o'clock in the evening his screams could be heard all over town, which he kept up almost continuously until his death,
 Donnell started for Parks, asking several on the way to go with him, but they refused. He, however, went on. Finding Parks in his own yard with razor, he demanded him to give up the razor and go with him. Parks, | it is said, gave the razor to his little girl, but refused to go, striking at Donnell with his fist. DonneIl knock ed the blow off and Parks hitting him again with his fist, whereupon Donnell gave him a light blow on the head with his pistol. Parks then reached into his pocket as though he had a gun on him, when Donnell immediate ly fired. The ball entered the body just above the hips, passing through to the skin on the opposite side, killing him almost instantly.
 Donnell walked to his home where he committed himself to Mayor Ham mock, who turned him over to C.. Woolly to carry him before Justice of the Peace Lay, that he might fully commit himself to the law. Justice Lay appointed Alden Chism to stay with him during the night.
 Early this morning Justice Lay be- gan to empannel a coroner's jury to hold an inquest over the body of Parks. Much testimony was taken during the day and late in the evening the jury turned in a verdict that Parks came to his death from a pistol shot at the hands of E. s. Donnell, failing to eXonerate or to hold Don nell Parks was considered a bad man.
