VICTIM WON'T FORGIVE.

Texarkana, July 2.-The barber. j.
C. Love, who slugged the wrong man
after his wife had been insulted, is
in more serious trouble than at first
appeared. Anything but a forgiving
spirit is manifested by his victim, 49,
year-old Oweny Smith, who not only
refuses to drop the prosecution, but
insisted that charge of assault
with intent to kill' be placed against
Love, instead of aggravated as
sault." This has necessitated the
transference of the case from the city
court to the magistrates court.
Young Smiths friends say blow
with the fist might have been squared
with an apology when it was seen a
mistage had been made, but slipping
up behind a man and soaking him
with gas pipe" is not to be lightly
overlooked.

BOARD
MEETS JULY II

For the purpose of passing upon
applications for Confederate pensions,
the Faulkner county pension board
will meet at the courthouse Monday,
July II. The members composing the
county board are r. A. Reynolds, w.
A. Loveless and J. NJ. Denison.
Persons already drawing pensions
will not have to make new applca-
tions, but must forward to County
Clerk J. H. Bailey a certificate show
ing that they are still INDECENT. APP
plications for new pensions must be
made before the county clerk on
blanks provided for that purpose.
While the amount in the state pen
sion fund is larger this year than ever
before, it is probable that there will
be little increase in the percentage
paid to each claim. The tendency of
most county boards is to be as liberal
as possible in the allowance of appli-
cations and this tends to make larg-
er annual increase in the number of
pensioners and the amount each is
allowed.

CITY TO
FREE DELIVERY
P. 0. RECEIPTS INCREASE
RECEIPTS FOR YEAR ENDING
JUNE 80 AMOUNT TO
$12,303.26.

An increase of $2,69721 was made
in the receipts of the postoffice at
Conway for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1910, swelling the total to
$12, ,303.26, and bringing the Office in
to the class emitting it to free city de-
livery with liberal margin to spare.
Whether or not Conway will get
free delivery of its mail in the immed-
late future, however, is a different
story. The postoffice department 81
just now making strenuous efforts to
re trench it's expenditures and reduce
the annual postal deficit and the de-
partment officers do not look with
much favor upon any movement that
will require an additional outlay for
salaries. In one case in this state it
is said that the department granted
an application for free city delivery
over year ago, but the service has
not yet been installed.
The law, however. plainly provides
that when the receipts of a postofiice
reach $4,000 during a fiscal year, eX-
elusive of box rents, it is entitled to
free delivery, and Postmaster 0. j..
Owen expects to make strong effort
to secure this service for Conway
Under the impression that the year
ending March 81 was the time govern
ing the installation of free delivery,
Mr.. Owen made application to the
three months ago, but was
informed that the qualification for
free delivery was based on the re-
ceipts for ending June 80, and was
advised that if his receipts justified
he could take the matter up at that
time. The application will again be
forwarded within few days and will
probably be accompanied by strong
petitions asking for the free delivery
service.

LAST DAY FOR
DORMITORY BIDS

Bids for the erection of the new
dormitory at the State Normal school
closed at noon today. AS most of the
bids were filed at Little Rock, it is
not known what number were sub

Smith was here today and submitted
bid on the building.
The bids will not be opened until
July 18, on account of Cairman Geo.

Wolgast has the typical face of the
fighter His hair grows in thick
coarse mat low over his eyes. They
are blue-gray eyes, deep sunken, in
scrutable His jaw is strong and
heavy but not brutal The picture is
finished by a broken nose Whic hlies
mashed down on his face.
Like Bat Nelson, he wades in with
his head down and his elbows sprawled
out, shaking off Furnishing blows whit
the toss and fling of a wet dog.
Altogether unlike Ne.son, however, he
is a vicious clever boxer. His best
blow is a whip with the left, just as
he is coming out of clinch. A fighter
who does his best work just as he is
breaking a clinch, is one who is abso-
lutely undismayed.
Nelson has been the unconquerable
champion mainly because he has what
little Wolgast has-the heart" anC
the undismayed, unmoved courage. He
doesn't know what encouragement
means. Nelson always gets the worst
of the fight from the first round unit
his antagonist gives up and loses
through utter despair at seeing the
little tow headed boy rush back fol
more blows and more hurts.
When Bat Nelson meets this little
boy Wolgast, it will be like Nelson
meeting his other, but younger, clever
self.
| For the first time since he met Joe
Cans, Mister B. Nelson is about to &c

And even Joe Cans is different. The
colored boy was the finished artist, the
sagacious ring strategist, the "olo

all his science on tough bullet heao
which shook off his blows and fought
on with the pleased grin of bull

me not to have Jeff meet all corners

the champion take a chance on hurting
his hands.
