WILL CONTEST IS LIKELY
HEIRS OF A. w. SHIREY EXPECT ED TO FIGHT ODD EEL
 LOWS REQUEST.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT ]

Little Rock, March 14.-Louis Jo- seph, grand master of Odd Fellows of Arkansas, who has been appointed as executor of the will of A. w. Shirey, the eccentric old st11ekeeper of Min turn who was assossinated at Minturn last week, leaving S200,0 ,000 to the or der to found sanitarium, went to Minturn today to take charge of the estate. He was at the store Saturday and made an attempt to open the safe of Shirey, but no one could be found who knew the combination, so another attempt will be made today.
 A conference regarding the legacy to the order was held here yesterday, several Little Rock attorneys taking part, being retained to assist in keep ing the money for the lodge. It is practically admitted, however, that the widow, who was cut off with one cent, has valid claim to a dover in- terest in the estate and this would be probably granted to her if it would end litigation, but since it became known Shirey left so much money, rel atives have sprung up like mush- rooms, and as there would be litigation anyway, the attorneys for the lodge will probably advise that the claim of the widow be allowed to go into liti- gation with the balance.

M. R. WHITE ONPOOR FARM
PRINTER-E EDITOR DOWN AND OUT," AP-
 PEALS FOR AID.

Down and out and an inmate of the county farm at Heber is the unhappy fate that has befallen M. R. White, who is known to thousands of Arkan- sas people as an editor, printer and author, says an article in this morn ing's Gazette.
 The story of the veteran newspaper mans unfortunate plight is told in the following letter received by Julian II. Beestecher of the Gazette force:
 Dear Julian: 1 am down, helpless at last and in the poorhouse here. No tobacco is furnished and the food is of the coarsest kind, unfit for sick man. Can you not pass the hat among the boys and get up few nickels for one of the oldest printers in the state?"
 White has been a unique figure in the journalistic field of Arkansas. He has conducted newspapers in small towns of the state for about 30 years. He started in at Heber where he now is and from there wandered over all tliie' soa.ate He declined to stay very long in one place, When he got tired of the town where he was eortF~g hls paper, he loaded his hand press and his two cases of type upon a wagon and moved his newspaper bodily to some other place. About 15 years ago he conducted a paper in Argenta.
 He was the author of several works of fiction two or three of which he had printed in pamphlet form.
 He has also taken a considerable part in Arkansas politics. A few years ago when Jeff Davis was running for governor and Arkansas politics were in an extremely torrid condition, White created much amusement by announcing in the paper that he was then editing in Plumerville that he was candidate for governor and set ting forth in a long article reasons why he was an ideal candidate.

JOE ENDSLEYI IS CAPTURED
AGAIN LANDED IN JAIL AFTER CRACKING MANY SAFES.
 SHREWD DESPERADO.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Little Rock, March 14.-Joe Ends ley is back in the Pulaski county jail, after an absence of several years. Many postoffices of Arkansas know Joe Endsley, for he has cracked their safes and gotten away with much booty. By postal inspectors Endsley is considered to be the worst criminal ever coming within the borders of Ar
 kansas He first came into prominence by picking up mail pouch on the platform of the depot at Cotter in 1906, and making way with $3,0O0 registered letter. He was chased about the country and finally arrested by Postal Inspector Spofford. The postal inspector found a good portion of the money secreted about a house Tn Hot Springs after months of searching. For this crime Endsley was sent to the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan. He feigned insanity and was sent to the government asylum at Washington, from which he escaped and came back to Arkansas to leave a trail of broken postoffice safes. His arrest occurred again at HoXie several days ago and Postal Inspectors Miller and Pierce took the man to Batesville, where he was held by the United States commissioner. He was then taken to the jail at Newport and this morning brought here for safe keep ing Endsley is so shrews and des- perate that the officers were afraid to have him remain in the other jails, fearing he would make his escape.

TO BE HANGED APRIL 1 NEGRO CONVICTED OF AS SAULT CONFINED IN JAIL
 AT LITTLE ROCK.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT )

Little Rock, March 14.-In a cell so dark that a person without the eyes
 of a cat would not be able to see at all,
 Harry Poe, the Hot Springs negro, who has been convicted of criminally
 assaulting a 11-year-old child and who is to hang April 1, spends his days on
 bunk, reading Bible which has
 been presented ot him. He is prepar- ing to die. The negro says he never
 before cared for reading the scrip lures, but when there is nothing to do but die, he is going to be ready for 1t and take his medicine without finch ing. Since his conviction, Poe has been confined in a lower cell in the Ar kansas penitentiary. He occupies a cell adjoining several other negroes who are charged with murder. Poe will not talk of his crime, but says he knows he has to die April 1, which is pretty poor April fool joke for him, though he guesses it is coming to him justly, and for that reason he will not go to a higher court. Poe confines the most of his Bible study to the first two books of the New Testa- ment, saying these are the two books which are the most consolation to a man who is about to be hanged. The tier of cells occupied by negroes in the old penitentiary, back against those occupied by the whites, and the cell in which Poe is detained, is sep arated only by a thin sheet of steel and some concrete from the cell re- gently vacated by Walter Hogue, who was hanged at Perryville last Friday.
