THREE MILE CASE CONTINUED.
State Widers Claim to Have Legal Pc
tition on File

Little Rock.-Circuit Judge Fulk con.
tinued the Little Rock three mile case
until the next term of court. This means
that it will be several months before
the case can be determined in the lower
courts
Immediately after the last general
election, which decided in favor of
license for Little Rock, the leaders of
the prohibition movement circulated pc
titions in this city and Argenta to pre-
vent the opening of saloons in territory
three miles from the Peabody school
house. They obtained a large number
If signatures and claimed that they had
majority of the adult inhabitants in
the territory affected
On hearing of the case before County
Judge Asher 1t was discovered that a
number of names had been affixed to the
petition that were ineligible to sign it,
and large number of re7etitions were
also noticed. JudgJ Asher denied the
prayer Of the petitioners on the ground
that the petition did not contain the
names of a majority of the adult in
habitants of the two cities.
The petitioners then appealed to the
circuit court, with the result that Judge
Fulk granted motion for eontinu-
ance.
Under the Arkansas statute it is not
necessary to secure the names Of a ma
iorlty of the voters. The statutes plain
y state that anyone, male or female,
over the age of 81 years can sign the
petition.
The three mile prohibition law is in
force in a number of counties in the
state.

The murder of w. l.. Rice, million
aire attorney and clubman, at Clevt
land, Ohio, is still a mystery. Ate
working two days and running dow
many near-clues, the entire polio
force are baffled. They have no re
suits. The theory that Rice was muI
dered by business enemies has eA
ploded.
The widow of the murdered ma
and her four daughters have arrive,
from their summer home in Massachu
sets. Accompanying Mrs Rice ant
her children was William Nelson
Cromwell, the New York attorney an,
the eastern associate of Rice.
The theory of murder by footpad
is the only one left. But there was M
robbery. An envelope filled with bill
was left untouched in Rice's inne
pocket. His trouser pocket was fillet
with silver and he wore a watch ant
iewelry.
Bullet Penetrated Brain.
The autopsy showed that only one o
the two bullets fired at him penetrated
the brain. The second glanced off. Il
was discovered that Rice was strucl
on the head with some heavy instru
ment, possibly a blackjack or pistol
and probably knocked down. The cor
oner expressed a belief that the shots
were fired after he was felled by the
blow.
Mr.. Rice put up desperate fight fol
his life. Two clean cuts in the arm
of his coat indicated resistance to the
attack A deep cut in the left hand
reaching to the bone indicates that he
warded off one slash. Probably while
he was doing this he was knocked
down The murderers evidently
planned the crime with cunning. The
spot selected was midway in a half
mile stretch of open boulevard direct
ly under light, where any person de
string to reach the populated section
of the heights along Overlook road
would have to cross. Back of the
scene was a cluster of trees and
shrubs where concealment was afford
ed. On either side for a quarter OF a
mile east or west, any approaching
auto could easily be seen.
