He FAILED TO
FEED CHICKENS
Agent of the Pacific Express Company
at Pine Bluff Prosecuted BY HUI
name Officer.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, August POE
G. Williams, local agent for the Pa.
cific Express Company, was arrested
Monday at the instance of Humane
Officer A. L. Cason, on a charge Of
cruelty to animals-if chickens are
animals.
Williams appeared in Magistrate ].
P. KnoXs court later and offered a
plea Of guilty to the charge, and was
fined 81 and costs which amounted 70
$16.40.
The humane officer charged that
WtfHams left a crate of chickens in
the express office from Saturday till
Monday noon, without food or water.
After Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Greed Caldwell filed the information
against Williams, and he was served
with the warrant he decided to plead
guilty, stating that he supposed he
was guilty of neglecting the fowls.
A rush of business caused him to over
look feeding and watering the chick
ems.
The question arose as to whether
chickens were animals, and some law
yers argued that Williams could not
be fined under the humane law. Dep
uty Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell
cited legal authority which tended tn
show that the Arkansas legislature
had made it plain that the term animal
in the humane act must be construed
to mean every living creature.

The Mendicart.

There are those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella-
ton put forth as a conundrum. mean
ing poor wretch beyond the power Of
mending. But something very close to
the term was in use as long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his Canterbury
Tales" In the "Sompnoure's Tale"
this occurs:
Therefore we "mendiants." we sely freres.
Ben welded to poverte and confluence.
To charitee. humblesse and abstinence.
etc.
The "sompnoure" Of Chaucer was, Of
course, a summoner, or apparitor, and
a person of low estate. and here we
have. it is believed, the origin Of the
word, which came into common en-
pioyment later.

atoms OF Nation.
Washington. Feb 25.-An important
matter has been settled
The supreme court of the United
States has decided a delicate point. Il
relates TO the jurisdiction OF federal
and state courts in cases in which the
citizens Of a state have joined suits
with corporations which are citizens
only of the United States The case
is of Mrs Mary Dunn Of Texas. whose
husband was killed on the Texas and
Pacific railroad. She brought suit
against the company and two of its
employees for damages, the railroad
company owing It's existence as a cor
poration to congress and the EN-.
ployees being citizens OF Texas. The
suit was originally instituted in a
state court of Texas, but afterward
reomved to the federal court.
Mrs. Dunn then filed her original
petition in the supreme court of the
United States for writ of mandamus
compelling the restoration OF the case
to the state court on the ground only
that the court has jurisdiction because
Of the citizenship OF employee defend
ants. The court. however. held against
this contention. holding that as the EN-
ployees have been joined with the rail
road company the federal court has
jurisdiction over them as well as over
the corporation.
Justice Peckham. who handed down
the opinion. said the rights of the Tex
as and Pacific Railway company could
not be taken away. even though II was
made an associate defendant with citi
Isns of Texas.

WILL HALLEY'S COMET HIT US ?

The recent computations of Father
Searle indicate that Halley's comet will

supposed to know that the great nebu-
lous mass will doubtless pass near US,
but that it will actually Craze our planet
can be positively ascertained only by
later observations oI the diam eter of the
comets head and iB's exact path during
May relatively to the earth s orbit.
AS to The probable effects of the
earth's encounter with the hug e, flying
cometiry mass, astronome ers are not per-
haps al agreed. When the earth passed
through the great comet Of 1861 there
Were no apparent effects excepting a
peculiar sky glare with a yellovish disk
on the horizon which was visible after
sunset only a few hours. The earth
passed also through the tail OF the
comet OF 1919 without suffering from the
collision. Nevertheless, it would seem
rash to assume that future collisions of
this kind will never be marked by un-
pleasant consequences on any part of
the earth.

Sawdust Flour From Waste of Lumber Mills.

it has been in use for several years in

The wood flour is ground in cheap

corn and rye. Pine and spruce sawdust

through the stones and the boiling
chest, it is sacked or baled for shipment.
1t is then worth twelve to thirteen dol

The flour has number of uses, one
of which is in the making Of dynamite.
1t is the absorbent for the nitrogly-

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 29.-In the Su-
preme Court today the case of Clarence
Turner, of Holmes county, against the
State was reversed and remanded for a
new trial. This is the case in which
the plaintiff in appeal had been con-
victed in the lower court of unlawful
retailing. It appears that the local of
ficials have had much trouble of the
same kind with Turner, and had en-
ployed private detectives to aid them in
catching unlawful retailers. Turner
appears to have been successful in elud-
ing them, and, it is claim ed, openly de-
1ed the authorities. In the opinion of
the court in the case today Justice Smith
delivered a strong dissenting opinion.
The majority of the court reversed the
Judgment OF the lower court on the
ground that the witnesses whose testi-
mony convi-vol Turner. were the hired
detectives, and the court held that this
testimony should have been thrown ou t,
as the witnesses had interest in the con-
viction likely to influence their testi-
mony. Justice Smith cited authoritie
to show that such testimony was prop
erly admitted.
Under the ruling of the court, how
ever, the authorities and temperance
advocates Of the Law and Order League
will have to change their tao tics. They
have been successful in catching many
tigers with these hired detectives, but
will now have to rely upon their own
efforts
