the lead among the Southwestern states. An article appearing ir a re- cent number of the paper has the fol lowing to say of the homeSeekecs and immigration movement, which has re. gently been agitated by the railroads, as well as commercial clubs and other organizations:
 Arkansas and Louisiana are fast taking prominent places as homeseek- CT territory, largely through the actlv- ities of the land congresses organized in those two states. These organiza- tions have taken it upon themselves to keep their commonwealths in the minds of the people of every other state of the Union and they are doing their work well.
 'The lead in this work was taken by Arkansas, which held an important land congress session at Little Rock late in March. A complete organiza- tion was formed and it was decided to gather in large sum of money with which to advertise the states re sources. Plans are now practically completed for carrying on a S50,000 display advertising campaign this fall. The money is being secured by volun- tary subscription and is. being reported rapidly, and the promoters have no fear regarding the final result"

WIDOW ACQUITTED OF MURDER
Mrs. Ella DeLoney Declared Not Guilty of Killing Her Husband.

Nhky VI fN'iiiiiS llCl lt0SbGtAds
 Ashdovn.-The jury in the case of Mrs. Ella DeLOney, charged with the murder of her husband, returned d verdict of not guilty, after deliberat- ing for 15 hours.
 Mrs. DeLoney, apparently unmoved and without a word of thanks to law yers, jurors or judge, arose and walked out of the court room There was not a murmur from the crowd that had packed the court house when news that the jury had reached yer dict spread through the town.
 It is the opinion of many people in Ashdown and at least one of the jury men, Foreman J. K. Davis, that Put len killed his victim single-handed and that his confession and story ol Mrs. DeLoney's part in the crime were part of scheme to get revenge on the woman for jilting him. Some of the testimony introduced in the case lends strength to this theory.
 Oscar Pullen, who confessed that he shot DeLoney while the latter was lying in bed at his home, and who declared that Mrs. DeLoney held the window up while the fatal shot was fired, was dazed by the verdict of the jury, but reiterated his former state ments concerning the crime.

ARKANSAS OWES
 BRICK COMPANY
IT CANNOT COLLECT Sf7,723 SAID TO BE DUE UNDER DICKINSON
 CONTRACT.
Court Makes No Finding as to Amount Due Company, as State Cannot
 Be Sued

Little Rock.-lnstead of the Arkan- sas Brick & Manufacturing Company owing the state of Arkansas $f7,723 on its old convict contract lease, the state of Arkansas practically owes the brick company about 5000, accord ing to an opinion rendered by Chan celloT Martineau of the Pulaski chan cery court. The state cannot be sued, therefore the brick company will not be able to secure the payment of it's claim from the state.
 The suit grew out of the 10-year contract of the Arkansas Brick X Manufacturing Company, known as the Dickinson contract, in which the state, through the penitentiary board, agreed to furnish the brick company the labor of 300 convictS for 10 years When the contract expired in 1909 the ponitentiary board claimed that the brick company was indebted to the state for convict labor in the sum of $12,896 previous to December 3l, 1908, and S4,S27 from January l to January IA, 1909, making a total of 2I | ,lZO. AS all OllSeL lO tniS account the blicll company presented a claim against the state for $100,000 on ac count of labor not furnished by the state during the term of the contract
 It was conceded by the state that the proof justified the claim and that if the suit was between individuals the brick company would be entitled to the difference between $100,000 which the state owed the brick com pany and $13,0OO which the brick company acknowledged it owed the state, amounting to SS7,O00. The court made no finding as to the $SI,- GOO, that being in the nature of a claim against the state, which cannot be enforced, but found that the Ark ansas Brick & Manufacturing COm- pany had been damaged by the fail ure of the state to carry out it's con- tract, in a greater sum than the brick company owed the state, and dis missed the suit for want of equity.
