The Supreme Court on Monday affirmed the decision of Washing ton Circuit Court in the case of the State Of Arkansas vs. John D. Holt.
 It will be remembered that on September Of last year Holt shot and killed ] W Murray from am bush. near Lincoln. in the west part of the county. He was arrested and at the following October term Of court was found guilty of voluntary manslaaghter and his punishment fixed at fifteen years in the peni- tentiary. Holt's attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court and Holt was released under a s10,000 bond
 The opinion was rendered by Justice Wood, and is reported by ,--e Gazette as follows:
 Holt was indicted for murder in the first degree by the Grand Jury of Washington county, and on trial therefor in the Circuit Court of said county he was convicted of murder in the second degree The evidence showed that on September 6, 1908, appellant shot and killed one ] w. Murray While appellant in- troduced some evidence of justifi- cation, there was sufficient evidence to have sustained a verdict of ev- en the higher degree of murder The evidence was amply sufficient to sustain the verdict of second de- gree murder There are many as sigments Of error, but no error is found in the record which could have possibly been prejudicial to appellants defense He has had a fair trial. and the judgment of conviction is affirmed

From d Friend

Miss Eula Petross died at the home of her uncle, Walter Prunef. at Spring Valley on the l4th inst, of that dread disease, consumption She resided in Springdale for many years and was favorably known by many of the young people of Springdale She was what l would style a model young lady. always having a kind word for her friends. Her modest, unassuming, sweet dis position, made her a special favo- rite with those who knew her best, and how very sad it is to her many friends and associates to think that only few years ago she looked the very picture of health. l can scarcely realize that so per feet a flower has been plucked from our midst. She will be sadly miss ed by both relatives and friends. but with her life's fitful dream IS over, with it's joys and it's sorrows, it's hopes and it's dsappointments. She was noble gift to nature and lived not in years, but in pure acts and ways.
 Lives of true men all remind us
 We can make our lives sublime.
 And departing leave behinds us
 Footprints on the sands of time
 To her disconsolate relatives l extend my sincere and warmest sym pathy, and to her many dear friends I would admonish them to ever emu late her many virtues, so that in age, as good citizens. they too may enjoy the happy reflection conse- quent on we'll spent life, and de in the hope of a glorious immortall- ty. And to this loved one who has gone to that borne from whence no traveller ere returned. l will say peace and good will to her memory Farewell J. A C. Blackburn
