 AT INTRUDER
Walter Bloom Says He Discovered a Man in Hallway and Fired Two Shots-May Be Injured.

"A bold, bad burglar was at work again Friday night, and attempted to rob the home of Mrs. B. J. Bloom, ac- cording to a story related by her son. Walter Bloom.
 He was discovered by young Bloom who heard noise, stepped out of his bedroom and, opening the back hall door, he discovered a man standing just inside the front door, He opened fire. He says he fired two shots be- fore the robber fled.
 Young Bloom stated that he locked the front door and latched the screen door when he came home from work Afterward when he examined the doors, he found that the screen had been unlatched. and the front dool lock partially removed with a screw driver, and the screw driver still in the lock. On examination nothine was found to be missing and it is thought that the burglar had just en. tered the door when he was fret upon. Traces of blood were found upon the porch and it is believed the lrobber was injured.

FAIR CROP WITH
 GOOD CONDITIONS
Regular Weekly Cotton Letter of tue s. c. Alexander Cotton Company Reviews Cotton Situation.

In their regular weekly crop letter, issued yesterday, the s. C. Alexander Cotton Company of this city, says: "There is nothing new in the crop situation since our report of week ago, aside from the fact that the crop as a rule shows slow but steady improvement. This applies within a radius of fifteen to twenty miles around Pine Bluff, which section seemed to be more favored than other localities. Even here rain is badly needed in places, but the crop will average up we'll and is apparently free from insects. Very little she'd ding has taken place and if we can get through the remainder of this month without serious accident, a fair though not full crop is practically assured for the Pine Bluff territory.

Y. Ellis, who shot and killed N. P. Willis, of Indianapolis, ill Judge Fulks court room in Little Rock on July 27, Judge John M. FL liott in the Jefferson chancery court Saturday granted Ellis bail in the sum of $1O000. The bond was signed by many of the wealthiest residents of this city and Ellis was permitted to leave the court room, accompanied by his wife, other relatives and friends, free man.
 Former Lieutenant Governor Chas r. Johnson, of St. Louis, employed by Mrs. l.. L. Culver, the wealthy aunt of Willis, to aid in the prosecution. was present at the hearing, but neith- CT Prosecutor Campbell nor Governor Johnson took part in the examination of witnesses offered by the defense to prove the poor physical condition of Ellis. They realized that counsel for the defense, Judge M A, Austin and M.- 4Danaher, of this city, and Attor- ney James A. Gray, of Little Rock, would be able to prove the poor health of Ellis and would secure his release from jail on this account.
 Campbell Is Angry.
 Prosecuting Attorney Campbell who declares that he will take the case to the supreme court. made a statement in the court room in which he declared that he had not been giv- en an opportunity to prepare for the hearing. He charged unfairness 10 the state and reviewed his official du- ties since the tragedy to show that he had not had time to arrange for it. Prosecutor Campbell said that he and Gray had agreed on the hearing for next Wednesday and that later he was informed that it would be held Saturday. He objected to the intro
 duction of testimony taken at the ' coroners hearing, declaring that he had not been informed of the inquest and reached there too late to cross examine witnesses or hear the better part of the evidence In his petition for a transfer of the case Campbell contended that Chancellor Elliott had no authority to hear such a proceed ing; that his sole authority was 70 issue the writ, but that he had no legal right to hear and determine the | defendants right to bail. Prosecutor Campbell contended that the writ was returnable in the county in which 1t was served-Pulaski Judges Lea and Martineau were there he said and could have heard the case. Camp bell made the statement that the bond accepted under a writ here would he 1 worthless
 Judge Elliott ruled that the statutes are mandatory. If the states attor- ney is correct, he said, it is a good way for the jurists to shirk their re- sponsibility. He overruled the mo- tion.

Ellis Physical Condition.

1t was shown by evidence that since the tragedy Ellis has lost. twenty three pounds in weight. Attorneys for Ellis said they were not particular as to the amount of the bond, if granted. Judge Elliott stated that he had never refused a man bond before he was indicted and never would; that he would not ask the attorneys to sug- gest the amount of bail. He fixed El- lis bond at s1O00O and ordered the clerk to certify same to the Pulaski circuit court. In less than five min-
 utes men, representing wealth esti-
 mated at more than $5O0,OO0, had
 placed their signatures to the docu-
 ment and Ellis returned to his home,
 after nearly three weeks of impris- onment.
