SAYS CHILD WAS
NOT KIDNAPPED
BAKER STORY Is DENIED
w. S. LAY WRITES OF CONTRO-
VERSY OVER POSSESSION
OF CHILD.
EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
see an account in last weeks pa
per Of the Baker kidnapping, which is
not true account. The facts are
that the chancery court turned the
child over to me, as | am the grand
father. Baker appealed the case to
the supreme court and we did not
make any defense in the supreme
court, so the higher court ordered the
.hancellor to reverse the decision and
then give the child to Baker.
Baker come and demanded the child
and w. S. Lay turned the child over
to Baker and he promised that the
mother and family could come and
see the child and could take and keep
the child part of the time.
The mother went to see the child
two or three times, and on the fifth
Tuesday she and her sister and sis
ter-in-law went to see the child, as it
was sick, on Sunday when she last
saw it. The child begged it's mother
to take it home and she said to Bak-
er's mother, who had charge of the
child, that she was going to take the
child home with her few days, and
to this Mrs. Baker made no reply.
Mrs. Durham, the child's mother,
got up and took the child and went
out at the front gate and went home
with the child. Mrs. Durham states
that her sister, or sister-in-law, had
nothing to do with her getting the
child, and that she thought she had
as much right to the child as Baker
did, as the mandate of the supreme
court was not in force as judgment,
and also Baker promised when he
got the child that she could come to
see it and could keep it part of the
time.
The child was not hid out or con-
cealed by its mother or anybody else.
Baker, the child's father, and his two
brothers and his father all chased
the mother and child, and in some five
or ten minutes after she had arrived
home they were there. Some of the
party had Winchesters and others a
shotgun. They called for the child
ard were told that the mother and
child were in the house.
They, or Baker father of the child,
went and swore out warrant for
kidnapping, and the constable came in
two or three hours and arrested the
| mother of the child ard her sister
in-law and put them under bond to ap-
pear before S. H. Matthews, justice
of the peace, on the next day. They
did appea: and had the child there.
The state asked for continuance, sc
,ather than be put to further trouble,
the defendants waived examination
of the cause and gave bond for .h-iy
appearance to the grand jury,
This is about the true statement
Tn, child is now at the Lay and Dur
ham home with its mother and has
been for the entire time since she left
the Baker family with it.

WHICH IS THE
BIGGEST Town?

Although no figures have been an
nounced by the census department, q
report is in circulation that Russell
vile will displace Conway for the
honor of having the largest popula-
ton of any town between Little Rock
and Fort Smith, with Conway close
second. AS the census supervisor for
the Fifth district lives at Russellville,
it is possible the report is authentic.
Ten years ago, Conway's population
was larger by several hundred than
that of Russellville, Morrilton or Van
Buren, but through annexation pro-
ceedings early this year Russellville
has quadrupled her area, increasing
the size from one to four square miles.

Exhibition OF Carloads OF Feeoer Cat.
tie at Denver Holds the Record.
The National Western Stock Show,
which is held every January in Denver,
holds the record of the world for the
greatest exhibition of feeder cattle,
both as to quality and quantity. The
Denver show pays particular attention
to the commercial end of the cattle
business and while showing the stock
men the best there is in pure blood,
In the carload exhibition is shown
what can be accomplished with the
good blood. Last January there were
$50 carloads of feeder cattle exhibited
and these were taken from shipments
that aggregated over 10000 cattle. The
plan followed by the western cattle
men is to send in from two or three
to twenty carloads of their best cat
tie, pick out few loads to enter in the
show and hold the rest for sale after
the ribbons are awarded. AS rule, the
man who buys the prize winning cat
tie usually wants anywhere from two
loads to trainload of the same kind
OF cattle, and he finds them waiting
lOr ulS Ulu LdSl JANUARY tuSIS W0lC
over fifty eastern cattle feeders at the
Denver show to pick up some choice
feeders and it has been found that
these cattle are money makers, for
they have the quality and health SO
essential. 4
Even in the fat cattle division of the
show the commercial end Is carefully
looked after. Long fed cattle carrying
more tallow than lean meat have been
found unpopular and Improbable in
the west and the fat cattle exhibition
in the car lot end, is limited to the
short fed commercial cattle, which are
the kind the packers want and which
make money for all who handle them.
The western men are being encour-
aged to feed for beef instead of tallow
and the overfat animals are conspicu-
GUS in Denver by their absence. ~

Denver, January 10th. for week, and
it will be the big live stock event Of
