PULASKI GRAND
 JUROR REPORTS
No Indictment in Sweet Home Pike Case-Negr0 Rapist Who Was in Pine Bluff Jail May Be
 Indicted.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. S.-The grand jury reported seven true bills ot indictment in court this morning, and all of them except one are against parties who are confined in Jail. The evidence in the case of
 M ssissippi' Hoodo, otherwise known as Pleas Hoodo, charged with crim- inal assault upon Mrs. Lena Miller. has been heard, and while no indict- ment has been returned against him. it is understood that one will likely be drawn and presented tomorrow. From what the witnesses have said on the outside there appears to be sufficient evidence to justify an in- dictment.
 There was no intimation of any sort that any developments had been reached ill either the Sweet Home pike tragedy or the assassination of 4' $. Mashburn. If there is any, tnlng in the anonymous letter receiv- ed by Judge Lea to clear up the mys- tery it has not come out, and it is be- lieved BOW that the letter only con- tained such information as had all ready been placed before the grand Jury, and not sufficient to justify an 
 The grand jury will be in session asaln tomorrow, and 1t Is expected that several more indictments will be reported then.

As the end of the Graphic Trip contest draws near is evidenced the great interest that the contestants and their friends are taking in the contest. The race is getting closer every day and number of contest ants in each district have their eye on the first district prize.
 The interest that friends of contest ants are taking in the contest can be readily understood when it is known that at the Graphic office the tele phones are kept busy all day answe"- ing inquiries as to how such and such a candidate is getting along in the contest and if there is any way that they can be helped. These same friends will no doubt turn in their subscription to you if they have not already done so, as the inquirer wishes to know if their favorite will be in the lead in the next issue. A good many of the contestants have promises that they were not able to secure on the double vote offer. DO not lose sight of these promises as they eventually may be the means of you winning the first district prize.
 Make Strong Ending.
 Do not say to yourself, I will see MT. so and so tomorrow" for the time is to short and then there is the chance of having some other contest ant come along and get the subscrip- ton that you had counted on secur- ing. Now is the time to get in your work as the contest will come to a close two weeks from tomorrow night and then it will be too late. Do not put off seeing a friend until the last day of tine contest as there will be too many to see and you will have lost votes that m; ght be the ones to make you a winner.
 Notice to Contestants.
 The contest manager wishes to lfn- press the fact that contestants and their friends are depositing paper coupons in the ballot box at this Of

 A district visitor was paying calls oa the folk in . row of cottages and WAS shocked by the conduct of shabbily dressed old gentleman who passed from door to doof,sin . srest rass and threatened the occupants with all man ner of dire penalties.
 'Dear me. what peculiar old man! she exclaimed to one of the tenants. "Why do you permit him to abuse you in that fashlonr'
 "Oh. we don't mind in the least ma'am." answered the tenant, with twinkle in his eyes. "We're quite used to his little ways by now. He's been . harmless lunatic for ten or eleven years"

 STANDING THIS MORNING

1 flee i'll all shapes, many or them are
 simply torn ont of the paper and
 then put in the ballot box. Please
 understand that all coupons in order
 to be counted must be clipped noatly
 from the paper, otherwise they will be thrown out and not counted.
 All contestants in the race are making good progress and while some
 of them apparently are not doing very much they are steadily p.Iing up tho reserve. fh0so 9ho are constd- orably down ill tue list now may take q jump skywara at amy Gmo and grasp the leaA fe9m those now lead ing. However. tn. tuuc is geltng short and great chauscs may take place n1 1the=n =neX-uA4 weeks, and again those who are in the lead just now may eoHtinHe to keep in front of their competitors and cannot be head ed. Rut all the contestants who eX- peet to be in the lead at the finish must make time from now on count more than ever.
 You are now on the home stretch. Do not let d day go by without mak- ing it point to see some one who is not taking the paper. Secure at least two subscriptions day and for as long as possible, The contest ant who does this for the few re- maining days need have no fear of the final result.
 Keateet koMment.
 Some class to the way the voting Is going in district No. this morning, Miss Hattie Martin seems to have sprung a surprise on the other con- testants and by hurling over 12,000 votes at the opposing forces takes the lead of the entire contest by a maj ority of 2000 votes. Miss Martin has a host of friends In this city who are giving her their support and who are working for her all the time and they claim that at the close of the contest they are lldDle to SuIpIlSc some of the others.
 The first four in district No. ?. are all close together and this dis trict promises to make a pretty race of it for first honors, however, Mrs. Johnson is not saying much these days but is very liable to spring on the others at most any time. ii
 Once again the lead changes in dis trict No. 3, and this morning we find that Miss Perry has again assumed the coveted position, this has hap pened several times this week, her friends and herself claiming that they will not be satisfied with anything but first place in the district on Mo- vember 19.
 All of the contestants of district No. 1 are laying low this week on the voting part and each is holding back waiting for some one else to take the lead so as to get line on what she has, but as they are all hustlers in this district they are not inter- ested in their standings in the paper but are adding to that reserve all the time.

MAY THROW OYER RICHARD
JEFF and Johnson Intend TO Stick by
Gleason.
BOiIermaker, According 10 Claim OF
Sporting Man, Has SOured on
Salt Lake City.

a new York sporting man received a let
ter to-day from a Frisco promoter in
which it was predicted that before Ions
Tex Richard would be thrown overheard
by both Jeffries and Johnson; that JEFF
fries had soured on the Salt Lake City
proposition, and did not intend to let
Gleason receive the cold shoulder It was
also stated in the letter in case Of a split
between Gleason and Richard. T. d. Sui
Ivan, as stakeholder. would decide in
favor OF the pugilists. II is understood
that Richard will receive a substantial
offer TO withdraw from the match. that
il he agrees TO step down and out he will
get back his $4,000 forfeit and a $1,000
bonus 20 cover his expenses. But those
who know Richard insist that he will
make a lot of trouble if the fighters do
not stand by him. Incidentally it may be
said that the method employed in arrang-
ing the big match indicate lack OF ex-
perience and diplomacy. Some Of the
semi professional promoters would have
displayed better judgment, it is believed.
