Since he was is


A convict was given his freedom the
other morning from Warden NortOn's
boarding house, ThOmastOn, after sery-
ing years sentence. This man has
an interesting record. Since the age
of Is Che Is now 42) he has seen but
little more than three years outside
of the iron bars, having done time In
reform schools, reformatories and the
prisons of two states. His record
while In prison has always been ac-
counted good" by the officers, yet he
seems to possess mania for larceny.
He says that all his troubles have been
due to opium or morphine, claiming
that as soon as he takes opium In any
OF its forms, whether as medicine
or dope, he can no more help stealing
than he can help breathing. He said
that hencefOrth he fully intended to
keep the stuff out of his system, and
do a mans part in the world"

ELBERTA PEACHES SOON
TO BE ON MARKET

L. H. Pyle stated today that the
Elberta peaches on his Round Noun
tain orchard have begun to ripen and
the first of this lucious fruit will be
placed on the market next Monday.
Mr.. Pyle says the crop is the most
oountiful he ever saw. He has 20
acres, practically every tree of which
is loaded almost to the breaking point
with the peaches, and he believes if
he could market all the fruit it would
average about three bushels to the
tree. J. d. Collier also has a good
crop in his orchard and several other
farmers on the same mountain with a
smaller number of trees also report
lots of peaches.
This is the first big crop the Round
Mountain farm has produced, the
trees on Mr.. Pyle's place just COM
ing into their prime this year. Mr..
Pyle also has 20 acres in younger
trees which are expected to begin
bearing next year.

RAILROAD SCORES
COMPLETE VICTORY
RAMSEY CASE REVERSED
SUPREME COURT PRACTICAL
LY PUTS AN END TO
DAMAGE SUIT.

The Iron Mountain railway won a
decisive victory in the supreme court
yesterday, when the case of f. A.
Ramsey against the company was de-
cided. The plaintiff, who was repre-
sented by J. H. Harrod, was AWARDED
| 81 300 when the case was tried, at
Conway in July, 1908, but the higher
court holds there was no evidence of
negligence by the defendant and the
testimony was insufficient to support
the verdict.
An abstract of the courts opinion,
which was delivered by Mr.. Justice
Hart, follows:
IS. J. Calhoun was an engineer III
the employ of the Iron Mountain rail
road. On January %, 1908, while en-
gineer of north-bound freight train
No. 81, he was killed by reason of his
train running into an open switch at
a place known as Campbells switch
and being derailed. The administra-
tor of his estate brought suit for
damages, and recovered judgment be-
low for $500. The railroad COM
pany appeals.
THE defense interposed was that
the switch had been opened by a
stranger, for which the company was
not responsible. The evidence adduc-
ed by it tended to prove that three
trains had passed this switch during
the course of the afternoon, two 60
ing north and one going south at a
high rate of speed. The south-bound
train passed Campbell's switch about
10 or 20 minutes before No. 81, the
train which was wrecked. The evi-
dence showed that the switch stand
was not damaged, nor the switch
point, but that the lock was broken
and shattered, and appeared to have
been freshly tampered with; and tes-
timony was also adduced to the effect
that, had the switch been thrown
when the south bound train passed.
the swith stand would have been dam
aged to a more or less extent, accord
ing to the speed of the train. The
section foreman testified that the
switch had been closed at $50, when
he lighted the switch lights there.
"There was no evidence tending to
overcome this defense, and no negl-
gence on the part of any servant of
the railroad is shown. The jury was
unwarranted in disregarding the tes-
timony adduced, and the evidence did
not support the verdict. Judgment
reversed and cause remanded."

Will SOON OPEN

Little Rock, July 12.-The new Ar
kansas tuberculosis sanitarium will
be opened between July 20 and Au-
gust /, according to announcement
made here yesterday by Judge Joseph
NJ. Hill of Fort Smith, member of the
board of trustees of that institution
The completion of the buildings and
all details for the taking care of pa
tients will be marked by a formal
opening. Probably a program appro-
pirate for the occasion will be prepar-
I'd and carried out.
Judge Hill stated yesterday that
the contractor is not finishing his
work as rapidly as was anticipated,
out that the construction work is
proving so satisfactory to the board
that no objection has been made.
The indications are that the sani-
tarium will be filled Immediately, ac-
,ording to Judge Hill, who stated yes
terday that "it is not question as
TO how mank people are expected to
iesire admittance to the sanitarium
ut as to how many people the sani-
tarium can accommodate.
In this connection he said that the
institution will accommodate about "A
people. Those who are able to do so
will be expected to pay something for
board and for the privilege of staying
at the sanitarium. However, those
who are unable to do so will be cared
for without cost.

Little Rock, July 12.-So deaf he

quently Rogers paid visit to United

here yesterday and was held under
bond to the federal grand jury.
According to the evidence, Rogers
took a young woman to church and
another youth came along and per-
suaded the girl to take a seat beside
him on a rear seat. Rogers is very
deaf and did not hear the other plead
ing with his girl, but when he turned

suit of w. H. H. Shibley VS.. the Fort

matter held off until the fall term

he brought the suit without notice to
them, had it heard in Sebastian chan
