 The Facts In Case

for the horse, but told the would-be- buyer that the horse was not his property, but that he believed it had been stolen Although Senator Ton ey in his card in the afternoon paper would lead the public to believe that the Graphic misstated the facts in the case, the city detective and the lad both stated that the horse was in Mir. Toney's possession. MT. Caldwell the liveryman, was also under the i'm pression that the animal was in the custody of Senator Toney. Last night the father of the boy paid Senator Toney fee and after recovering his two horses he and the boy left for their home in Little Rock.
 The Graphic has no desire to mis- represent facts in any case and would have gladly corrected any misstate- ment in this case, had one been made. In justice to Senator Toney, however, it will state that he had nothing what. ever to do with the arrest of the Wi, kle boy or the other lad, as some were inclined to misconstrue the state ment in that light.

Camden Citizen
 Praises Daughters U. D. c.

The following letter to Mrs. B. E. Benton, president J. Ed Murray Camp L. D. C. of this city, shows merited appreciation of the monument erected recently-a monument not only to the Confederate dead of Jefferson county, but in truth, monument to the ener- gy and patriotism of band of Pine Bluffs noble ladies:
 Mrs. B. E. Benton,
 President U. D. C.,
 Pine Bluff, Ark
 Dear Madan1:-I note ixitl pride the great work your chapter has just completed in the monument unveiled to the soldiers, especially to David O. Dodd and Col. Ed Murray. It was my good fortune to know Col. Murray we'll and helped to carry him wounded off the field from the Battle of Allan ta on the 22nd day of July, 1864. I never knew a more gallant soldier. Every Confederate from Arkansas should feel proud Of him. l recall we'll the day he came to Arkansas in the summer of 1861. Was appointed to drill the 5th Arkansas Regiment. Col. Cross was the Colonel but knew nothing about military tactics. Col. Cross soon saw his own deficien- cy in that line and the great capacity of the boy, Ed Murray who was only twenty years old. He resigned and recommended the electio nof Murray. He was a Napoleon from the start. knew him we'll in life and love his memory and feel proud to see the Daughters honoring his memory.
 Yours very truly,
 J. A. REEVES,
 Capt. 9th. Ark. Regiment.
