ATTACKED BY THUGS.

Little Rock, Ark, July 12. e. w. Heaney, Arkansas rep. resentative of the Norfolk x Western railroad, who was at- tackled by thugs and severely beaten ealry Sunday morning, is no so seriously injured as was at first supposed. His skull was not fra ctured by the heavy blows which was rained upon his head and it it is thought he will be able to leave the City Hspital in a day or so. Heaney was found early yesterday morning lying in pool of blood at Second and Cumberland. He was uncOn- scious and first reports from the hospital were that the wounds would prove fatal. Yesterday he regained consciousness and the attending physicians state he will soon recover. Mr. Heany was set upon by two men as he was passing the corner and beaten down with blunt instru- ment. His sailants, if they were making the assault with intent of robbery, they were evidently frightened away for a consider able sum was found upon the un- conscious mans person at the hospital.

PULASKI COURT
 CROWDED TODAY
Expected to Hear Testimony in,DiII Trial but Defendant Was Not Even
 In Court.

Little Rock, July 12.-Drawn by the prospect of some sensa- t ional testimony, hundreds crowded the circuit court room this morning to hear the proceed ings in the Dill trial. When court opened the defendant was not even present. Lewis Rho- ton, the leading counsel for the defense, arose and presented to the court a petition for change of venue to the Perry Circuit Court signed by six supporting wit nesses, the petition alleging it would be impossible on account of the feeling here to secure an i'm partial trial. Judge Lea heard the testimony of the sup porting witnesses, two of them newspaper men who had talked with hundreds of representative citizens about the case, and the argument of Attorney Rhoton and Prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Campbell followed.
 At the conclu sion of the argu- ments Judge Lea granted the plea for change of venue and the case will come up at Perry vile next August.
 Dill is charged with criminally assaulting Miss Ray Burkhalter in the Knights of Pythias Hall here several weeks ago. Judge Lea stated in granting the mo- tion for a change of venue that he would not listen to the plea but that he was positive the pc tition was not filed for the pur- pose of gaining delay.

suit of o. c. Ludwig, secretary of state vs the Western Method ist, A. c. Millar, James A. An derson and the other proprietors of the paper and there is no doubt but what the case will come up in the court of Judge Guy Fulk tomorrow morning. Secre- tary Ludwig has completed his dispositions in answer to the charge of the church paper and its editors that the secretary of state and Governor Pindall con- vived together to appoint election commissioners in certain coun- ties which would favor the lionor men. He took the dispositions of prominent men in the counties which were enumerated by the defendants when forced to speci- fly. The suit promises to be one of the most sensational ever tried in Little Rock. The church paper about the time of the last pri- maries charged Governor Pindall and Secretary of State Ludwig, who constituted a majority of the state board of election commiss- toners in conviving to appoint county election boards which would favor the liquor interest. The paper was so bitter in it's fight against the state officials that Secretary Ludwig filed a $50,000 damage suit. The defense claims it will spring a number of sensations of Arkansas poli- tics, and the plaintiff says he will be able to spring some himself The last obstacle in the way of a trial tomorrow was removed when w. H. Pemberton, the at torney for defense, and who is counsel in the Dill case employ ed by friends of Miss Burkhalter in Pine Bluff to assist the prose- cution, was allowed to be free to proceed with the case.

COMPANIES OF A. N. C.
 AT TARGET PRACTICE
Several Companies of the Arkansas Nat : iOnal Guard in CampX. 0. PindalI.

Little Rock, July 12. - This city had decidedly martial ap- pearance yesterday, there being two companies of the state mill tia in the city during the day and another arrived this morning. The two companies arriving yes terday were those from Bebee and Lonoke. .Eldorado arrived this morning. The three com panies have gone into camp at Camp Pindall, several miles from the city. At the same time the companies from Ola, Atkins and Dardanelle went into camp at the rife range at Russelville. At the Fort Smith rife range Eure- ka Springs, Harrison, Siloam Springs and Ft. Smith went into camp.
 All of these companies assem- ble for weeks target practice and from those who qualify as expert ritlemen on the range, will be selected the team which will this year represent Arkan- sas at the national shoot which is be held'at Camp Perry, o.
 Some determination will be reached today as to the rife range at Jonesboro. If the lease is closed today and the range placed in proper condition, three companies will go into camp there for rifle practice next Sunday and three more companies will follow the next Sunday to spend a week on the range.
 It will require some very fast work on the part Of the OthcerS to have all the state guardsmen take their turn at the targets in the week. Each soldier shoots first at the target 800, 300 and POO yards away. His score in the three events determines whether or not he qualities for the elimination contests which follow.
 After the shoot is over on all the ranges, the best shots will meet at Fort Logan H. Roots where the team to represent Ar kansas at Camp Perry in August will be selected.
 Capt. Andrews of Bebee has been in charge at Camp Plndall since the soldiers went into camp there.
