Bold Thief Escapes.

j s. Boone, residing on the
Mont Oliver farm, near Onwiler,
received threatening letter last
Thursday, worded as follows:
Thursday, $4,000
Oct, q in gold
You will bing me ono thousand
dollars in a quincy sack in one
hand and carry lantern in the
Rite hand lit! Leave you house
at So'clock and Walk down Rail
Road track to words Meridian
until you see Red lite, leave
money thir on 20 book home now
you win be Watched all day there
is 5 OF us and ii there is enythiug
rong we will burn you out or kill
you or your wife don't try any feny
work Say nothing Bring the
money that is the only way out,
Black Hand (xx)S. s.
Fearing for the safety Of himself
and family, Boone arranged to
comply with tho demand, but used
sack Of iron washers instead OF
money. He first informed Sheriff
Bennett and Sergeant Marriuan,
and they arranged to come up on
the Boise Valley car and arrive at
an opportune time to nab the
"hlack hand" artist,
Boone took the decoy sack and
started down the track towards
Meridian. As it was growing dark,
Boone put the sack at the place
agreed upon, and Witnessed the
fellow come for it. At this time
the officers appeared, but the eff
forts to capture the thief was frus-
trated by u neighbor, Mr., Hoyne,
who became excited and fired
upon the officers and everyone in
sight. During the excitement the
thief Lit out and made good his es.
cape and the only result is a charge
Of buckshot in Boone's leg fired by
his neighbor, who spoiled a good
chance to catch thief.

NIGHT SESSION FOR
 ARKANSAS HOUSE
Representatives Also Refuse t0 EA- tend the Session SiNt, Da!s-tp- propriation Bill stp~Statr House Repair Item Is Cut Some.

Little Rock. March :,.--The house put in q financial" morning after II disposed or two very important r,so- lutions and some minor measures. The consideration of the biennial ap- propriation bill for the executive and judicia departments of the govern- ment was the bone of contention, be- ing called up by Mr. Parks for con- sideratiCn ill committee of the whole after the resolution by Mir Combs providing for an extension of the legislative session had been defeated. = We haven't got but a few days more here, gentlemen said Mir Parks and want to get this thing off the hands of the ways and means com- mittee.'
 The resolution by MT. Combs. cail ing for the extension of the session until May II, had been voted down by vote of 45 to 36;; and should no extension be granted the session will close in ten days more.
 Just before this, the resolution by Mir. Deaton, of Pike, providing for 3 night session of the house each Mon day until the introduction and consid- eration of local bills shall have been brought pretty we'll up to date, was passed by vote of 4G to 36. Mr. Bouc. however, gave notice that he would at a later date move to recon slider this vote.
 The final action of the house, jus. before the noon recess, was to enter tain the introduction of bill by MT. Parks, of Lafayette county, providing for the redistricting of the eighth and the thirteenth judicial circuits. 90 as to place Lafayette county in the thir- teeEth circuit This was the bill passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Moore, and which caused such .rumpus when it was vetoed later by acting-GovcInor Pindall. In the consideration of the appro- priations bill Mr. Parks explained that the total raise recommended by the committee over that of the las; Legislature aside from the increases required by law was less than $500. This fact modified to d great extent the feelings of the members of the house, many of whom were under tho impression that there had been con- siderable increase. As result there was little trimming" the bill being adopted in committee of the whole almost as reported. 90 far as the committee had gone at the noon hour. However, one item was entirely eliminated-that one providing sl,o00 for the repair of the statehouse and grounds This has always been made heretofore. but the house decided to cut 1t out this time. There was also a disposition to cut down the item of $50,000 recommended for printing ex-

TEAR DOWN CAPITOL.
 BUILD ON OLD SITE
Senator Robert Glover of Grant Springs Unique Plan For the Solution of the State Capitol Muddle-He Says if the New Capitol Is Unsafe It Ought To Be Torn Down and Material Moved to the Site of the Present State House

Little Rock, Mar. S--The above brief outline is the plan of Senator Robert Glover, of Grant county, out lined in an interview with a repre- sentative of the Arkansas DemNrai on Tuesday, March 2. to solve the state capitol rnud1le.
 The plan on its face is unique and sensational, but claimed to be alto sether practical, and it is known to have met the unqualified approval of many senators and representatives.
 Speaking of his plan to Demo- crat reporter, Senator Glover said
 ITO begin with, everyone comedies that the old state capitol site is where the new state capitol ought to be built.
 lt Is also conceded by the admin istration, the opposition and the whole people of Arkansas that the state capitol proposition should be removed from politics, and the work carried on in basiness-like manner a, minimum cost for the hest building oh.ainable.
 It has long been the contention of those who assume to know that the ntw capitol, if completed according to the present contract, will be un- safe, and that before work can be resumed much of the work will have to be torn down and done over.
 Granting that the new capitol is completed some time. then We will find ourselves having political proposition in the disposition of the old structure and site.
 'l have been laying awake nights for weeks trying to study out some plan whereby the administration, the opposition and the people of Arkan- ,sas might get together upon some plan to complete the new state cap- itol in manner satisfactory to every citizen in the state
 ''1 believe that the plan l am going to suggest will not only bring to- 7 gether the warning factions of the legislature, but that it will be ac- cepted with one accord by the people of Arkansas who are putting up the money to build the capitol, V What He Proposes.
 My plan is just this:
 If the present capitol is unsafe, as has been reported by experts, then tear 1t down to the foundations and remove the material to the old state capitol site
 We have 750 idle convicts in Ar kansas. with nothing to do but to eat at the expense of the state.
 Put them to work at tearing down the state capitol walls and removing the material to the old site.
 s'When this has been done. put them to work tearing down the old state capitol. Assemble the material for both at the old site. There will be material enough, and to spare. to build the new capitol complete.
 Then erect the new capitol on the site of the old; not quite so large as now planned, but more imposing and baaufif,,t
