MURDER CASE IN COURT.

Searcy, Jan. TIA feud of long
standing in this section is recalled by
the case of Silas Cox, charged with the
murder of E. J. Bone, which will come
up at the session of the White county
circuit court which opened here to-
day. Cox is charged with frst-degree
murder.
The killing of Bone, which occurred
between the Bone and Cox families,
both of which reside in the vicinity of
McRae, in the south part of White
county. Both the slayer and his vic
tim had gone armed in anticipation of
trouble for weeks before the killing
and the tragedy finally resulted from
Bones son taunting Cox about carry
ing a gun as the latter was passing the

DOUBLE HANGING AT
0SCEOLA TOMORROW
WILL AND CHARLES MULLEN,
NEGROES, TO PAY PENALTY
OF DOUBLE MURDER.

Osceola, Jan. ia double hanging
will take place here tomorrow, when
Will and Charles Mullen, negroes, will
pay the penalty on the gallows for
the murder of A. Robinson and his
daughter in this county December 8.
The men were convicted in the circuit
court December 1S and no appeal was
taken, the hanging being set for Tues
day, January IS. Since then they have
been in Jail and no further efforts
have been made in their cases.
In view of the brutality and vicious
ness of the crime, it is hardly probable
that a stay of execution can be OBJ
tained for the negroes, even if an eff
fort was made, Sheriff T. w. Davis of
Mississippi county stated tonight. The
case is past the action of the courts
and an appeal to the governor is con-
sidered hardly probable.
The murder is pronounced the most
atrocious in the history of the north
eastern part of the state. Robinson and
his daughter were at their lonely cabin
on the banks of the Mississippi, when
the negroes assaulted them, thinking
to make them disclose the hiding place
of money they were believed to have
had. Both were beaten and then Rob-
inson was thrown into the river and
held under water until nearly drowned
The negroes then stood him in a tub
of boiling water for many minutes,
after which they shot him. His daugh-
ter was shot and her body wrapped in
comfort saturated with coal oil,
which was then set on fire.
The negroes were captured shortly
after the murder and spirited away
to Jonesboro to escape lynching. On
promise of speedy trial, mob law was
averted. The execution is expected to
take place quietly.

LANKFORD ANNOUNCES

The Log Cabin Democrat takes
pleasure in calling attention to the
formal announcement in today's issue
of the candidacy of Judge Eugene
Lankford for reelection to a second
term as juge of the 18th judicial
circuit, subject to the action of the
Democratic primaries. During the
three years past that he has served in
this capacity Judge Lankford has
made an enviable record. Anxious to
make the burden of court expenses as
light upon the people as possible and
untiring in his devotion to his work,
he has dispatched the business Of the
court with greater speed, perhaps,
than any of his predecessors and has
saved to the counties of the district
many thousands of dollars in this way.
At the same time, there has been no
undue haste and litigants have been
granted every reasonable opportunity
to have their cases fairly and fully
presented. That this true, and that
Judge Landlords rulings have been
intelligent and impartial, is shown by
the fact that in great majority of the
cases appealed from his court to the
supreme court, the judgments of the
lower court have been sustained.
The feeling over the district that
Judge Landlord has made good rec
ord and deserves a second term is so
general that he will doubtless have no
opposition-and he should have none.

REV. BEN COX TALKS
ON JUSTICES OF PEACE
THINKS TWO WOULD BE SUFFI.
GENT FOR LITTLE
ROCK.

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Rev. Ben Cox
yesterday recommended from his pull
pit at the First Baptist church that
the number of justice of the peace
courts in Little Rock should be cut
down to two courts and that the JUS
tice of the peace should be placed on a
salary basis instead of fee system.
"This would, l believe, result in plac-
ing the courts on higher basis" de-
clared Mr. Cox. The latter took up
the subject under the head of current
events" In the same way he also call
ed attention to the difference between
the county judge at Newport, who re-
fused to issue whiskey licenses this
year, and the county judge of Bowie
county, Texas, in which part of Tex
arkana is located, who declined, it is
alleged, to allow special election to

er also complimented John d. Rookie

of investigating the white slave traffic

MANY PRIZES
ARE OFFERED
CORN CLUBS ATTRACTIVE
H. S. MOBLEY TO ORGANIZE
FAULKNER COUNTY BOYS
IN THIS WORK.

Eight trips to Washington, over 81,
500 in cash prizes, besides the privilege
of competing for valuable national
prizes and whatever county prizes
may be offered in each-county, are
some of the inducements held out to
the boys of Arkansas to join the corn
club work for 1910.
State Field Agent H. S. Mobley has
written to County Demonstration J. E.
Rogers, stating that he will be in Con-
way on Saturday, January 20, for the
purpose of organizing the boys of
Faulkner county in this work. Mr..
Mobley will speak at the court house
at 10 o'clock on the morning of that
day and explain the work of the corn
clubs and all conditions attached to
membership in it. The fact that a
Faulkner county boy, Elmer Halter,
won the state prize during the year
just ended will probably stimulate a
much larger membership in the coun-
ty corn club this year, and Mr.. Rog
ers hopes that at least 800 boys will
be enlisted in the work.
The various congressman are COOP
Grating with Mr.. Mobley, Superintend-
ent Cook and other members of the
state committee in arranging prizes
for 1910. Last year there was very
satisfactory list of prizes offered, and
the interest shown by the young corn
growers indicated that the prizes had
been well offered. Mr.. Mobley believes
the results then obtained warrant dou-
bling the effort for the present year,
and for that reason has lost no time
in compiling the list for 1910 prizes, so
that the boys would know well in ad-
vance what the prizes are to be and
could lay their plans accordingly. All
prizes will be awarded at the state
fair, to be held at Hot Springs next
October, and all exhibits will be shown
there at the big exposition planned for
the present year.

REVOKE LAND PATENTS.

Harrison, Jan. 17-Three thousand
acres of valuable mining lands in Scar
cy county are involved in a suit
brought in federal court here to cancel
the land patents which are held in the
name of the Buffalo River Mining
Company. The lands are patented as
placer mining lands and the govern
ment requires proof that $500 worth of
development work be done on each
claim. 1t is alleged that this require
ment has not been met.

DR.. ROSE APPOINTED.

DR.. Wycliffe Rose, secretary of the

to take care of the ''hookworm" fund,
which John d. Rockefeller recently
contributed one million dollars.

CITIZENS TO HOLD
MASS MEETING

In order to give expression to the
sentiment here in favor of Faulkner
county's candidate for congress, Ben
l.. Griffin, mass meeting of the citi-
zens of the town and county will be
held at the court house next Monday
night. Mr.. Griffin's friends have felt
that some indication of the esteem in
which he is held by his home people
should be given, and the mass meeting
has been suggested as the most effec-
tive means by which this can be done.
Those who are arranging the meet
ing will invite Mr. Griffin to make an
address, and it is probable that other
short talks will be made.
