An appeal was prayed but for some time it will not De known whether or not it will be pushed. If the state pays the S2V,- 900, Caldwell &Drake have gone on record az saying they would step out of the State House. make no further legal battle and submit to the find ings of the board Of arbitration. The State Capital Commission is in ses- sion today and will decide whether 70 request Auditor lobe to fight the case in the Supreme Court or simplify matters by paying the vouchers. At torney General Norwood will rest up on the decision of Auditor lobe. as to whether he will push the case. Should Auditor lobe decide to push the ap- peal. the diminutive attorney general will get behind it with the push and vim which has marked his fight in the railroads and packing house cases. The decision of the court was more than a surprise to Attorney General Norwood.

ROBERTS WON'T TELL
 WHERE DILL IS
Says He Has i'm in the, Woods. Denies the kum0r That Prisoner is at Hot Springs.

Little Rock, Ark, June 23.-Sherifi B. l.. Roberts has returned from the place of mystery where he left Earl Dill, the 16-year-old boy who is charged with criminally assaultine Miss Ray Burkhalter, in the Knights of Pythias hall last Monday. He declines to say where he placed Dill in jail. except that it is not Hot Springs, in spite of the report he is incarcerated there. Sheriff Roberts and three deputies left the court house Tuesday night with the pris- oner in wagon, and the guards soon returned. but Sheriff Roberts did not get back until today Sheriff Rob- erts is of the opinion the case against Dill, who has been identified by Miss Burkhalter, is much stronger than that reason he will not bring the boy back to Little Rock and run the dan ger of a lynching, until the time for his trial. It is probable Dill will never be brought to Little Rock for trial, waiving arraignment to the grand jury. and after being indicted asking for change of venue on ac : count of the strong feeling against him here. Dill is very large for his age, and but for his boyish face, could easily pass for man. Sheriff Roberts says he has Dill out in the woods and will keep him there with out any one knowing where he is un- til the time comes to deliver him for trial.

THE COMING CONVENTION
THE BEST CONVENTION.

an such a name that the stockmen
were eager to again visit Roswell.
a manner hat they will leave with
the desire to come again.
To properly take care of a big con-
vention, and 1T is promised and belieV-
ed that the coming convention will be
bigger and better than ever, requires
money. The local committee has rails
ed something over three thousand dol
lars and has MOI fully completed it's
task. Those who have not yet donat-
ed should do so and literally.
The benefit to Roswell from the com
ing of the big c~attlemen's convention
will be considerable. The city will
receive much desirable advertising.
Our visitors, and there will be thouS-
ands of them, will see the best farm
ing community in the west; they will
see the cleanest, most prosperous and
rapidly growing city in the territory
and they will be received in such a
manner that they will come again. All
this does good to the city and to our
people. 1t encourages people to come
here and live, to make their homes
and grow up and prosper with Ros-
well.
There is another side to the coming
of the big convention and that is the
financial benefits to be secured, altho
this is secondary to b others. A
large body of men and women such
as will come to Roswell next month,
will leave behind them a great deal of
money. Roswell has stores second to
none in the territory, and our visitors
would not be human If they were not
