ATTACK STATE LAW
U, Mountain Appeals From Law '''' R,latiug to Claims for Stock
 Killed.

r.;ttle Rock, July H.-The
 eOnstitutionality of the act oi
 ,qo7 placing the cost Of attorneys
 sees and a penalty double the
 mount of the judgment rendered
 .n,;ust a railroad for the killing
 < livestock and failure to settle
 within given tune. is to be at- ..cked in the United States su- ,reu,e court by the St. Louis,
 Iron Mountain X Southern Rail-
 way Company.
 The case is that of T. J. Wynre vs the Iron MountaiH, appealed
 from the Desha county circult court, and involving a claim of s4OO for the killing Of two horses belonglng to Wynne by the de- Zfeudant mpanv. This suit was instituted shortly after the law went into effect, and a judgment as prayed was awarded, together with the double judgment penal ty and the attorneys fees, it be- ing claimed that the company had failed to adjust the claim within the required number oi days. The supreme court sus- tained the judgment of the lower court.
 Error in the supreme court de- cision is claimed by the railway company on two grounds. Ii is contended that the law is uucon- stitutional and should have been SO held by the state supreme court, ou the ground that it vio- Istes the provisions of the federal constitution against discrimira- ton. It is alleged that this law providing a double penalty is ap piled only 10 railroads and to no other corporations, and to that extent is discriminatory. It is also held by the attorneys for the company that the decree of the court is erroneous in that it al- lows property to be taken without the process of law. On bc:h grounds the company prays a judgment declaring the statute invalid.
 The transcript m the case has just been compl ted by Supreme Court Clerk English, and will be at once transmitted to the United States supreme court.

Obituary.

Mrs. L. ]. Johnson died at he home in Oden, Ark, Thursday evening, at 7:10 o'clock, June 24 1909. After suffering for two weeks the Death Angel came anc took our sweet and precious ont away to that great place beyond where sickness, sorrow, pain anc death do not enter, and the wick ed cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. She was watching and waiting on that bright glorious eve, then quietly drifted beyond mortality into i'm mortal bloom of the Eternal City where the saints of all ages in har,, mony meet, where the redeemed and blood washed are there and the triune God.
 She was 62 years, 7 months and 2S days old when death came. She was converted and joined the NJ E. church, South, and lived a true christian life until God in His in- finite love called her home to unite with Him and His angels in that great church above not made with hands. She was a true, kind and loving companion and mother and all that knew her loved her. It is glorious to know that souls can fly away from earth to glory when they have fought the fight and finished the course. She leaves a husband and five children, one son and four daugh- ters and host of friends to regret her departure. Our great loss k her great gain, so cheer up father brother and sisters, let's cease oul weeping and prepare to meet deai mother where weeping will be Der A precious one from us is gone;
 A voice we loved is still;
 A place is vacant in our home
 That never can be filed. Oh, my mother thou hast left us,
 And our home is dark and drear; How we miss thee, Oh, we miss thee,
 Sadly miss thee everywhere. When we gather around the fireside,
 And the lonely day is done, Oh, our hearts are weary
 Since our darling incther's gone. We clasp her hands upon her breast;
 We kissed her lovely brow: In our aching hearts we know
 We have no mother now. Now her sweet voice is singing
 Praises of redeeming love, Around the shining throne of Jesus.
 In fairer world above. Father; bro ther, sisters, cease your
 weeping;
 She will never suffer more; Only hope that we shall meet her
 When the tolls of life are o'er. When life's rugged dream is ended
 And we are numbered with the dead Hope we will meet our dear mother
 Where no farewell tears are shed.
 A Borrowing Daughter.

WHlTE-SANDY
TEAM WINNERS

A very unique four ball foursome
tournament was played yesterday. u.
0. White and Sandy McLaren played
Charlie Hartwell and Harold Giffafd
fifty-four holes, match play, on three
different links, and won by one hole.
They piled into Mr.. Hartwell IS buzz
wagon at the mystic hour of before
breakfast or somewhere around sun
rise and went out to the Country Club.
Here they started play at $40 a. M,
and played eighteen holes to tie.
Thence they journeyed to Moanalua
and did the same act. This time White
and Sandy won easily with five holes
to spare. Thence ON to Haleiwa, where
they made eighteen more holes, and
Hartwell and Gitfard won by four
holes. This gave the WhiteMeLaren
combination one hole to the good and
the tournament with it.
Sandy looked very cheerful after
his victory, and stated that he had
never enjoyed anything so much in all
his life. He intends to get up some
more games. on the same lines, and the
idea will doubtless receive endorsement
of the local golf enthusiasts.
