TIDE HAS TURNED
Warm Weather Makes Real
Estate Men Happy.
People Are Now Busy Looking
at Property.
TAKING OUT PERMITS.
Those for the Week Aggregate
$4,000.
Buyers on Search for Residence
Property.
TAKING OUT PERMITS.

The tide has turned. AS was stated
in this column a week ago. it was only
matter of the moderation of the
weather which was necessary to make
the change. The increased activity in
the realty market is marked and the
contractors are working overtime in
an attempt to complete their old con-
tracts in order to meet the demands of
those who are DESTROYS of building this
spring.
Real estate men say that never be-
fore have they heard so much talk
about new residences which are to be
built. Many of the plans for new
homes have not been reduced as yet
TO paper, but the warm weather is
bringing on the home building desire.
There are some of the prospective
builders who are giving the local arch
fleets their ideas of the kind of houses
they want while many others are
sending away to architects elsewhere,
who get out plans for houses in large
numbers making hundreds of dupli-
Gates, which they sell for nominal
figure. There are a few who are gift
ed with artistic ability who are draw
ing out their own sketches and are aft
erwards submitting the drawings to
builders to work out.
Building permits for week amount
ed to $26,865, calling for seven new
homes at an average cost of about
$4,000. The largest item was for the
erection of Firth & Shent's new auto
mobile garage on the North side. Per-
mits for additions to dwellings and for
barns are exceptionally numerous.

FUR1H ESTATE STILL
 IN LITIGATION
Supreme Court to Pass on Case That Involves Wealthy Estate of We'll
 Known Little ROckian.

Little Rock, June 14.-One of the most interesting and stubbornly fought cases ever heard in Pulaski county, was yesterday filed by brief ia the Supreme court. It is the case of Furth vs Furth and contains over 900 pages of typewriter matter. The suit is to recover a one half inter- est in the $150,000 estate of Robert A. Furth, formerly a we'll known sporting and saloon man of Little Rock, by Grace Boston, or Grace Furth, as she claims to be.
 The suit was originally brought by Hazel F'urth, who claimed to be the common law wife of F'urth. Grace I7urth then intervened, claiming also to be common law wife. Hazel Furth died and the suit was not revived by her relatives Grace Furth claims she entered into a con- tract of marriage with Bob Furth in Hot Springs, when he was forced to go there for his health. She claims she passed off there as his wife, and was taken by him to St. Louis and Baltimore, at which places he was treated in hospitals. At both of these places Furth introduced her as l his wife, and she was so recognized about the hospitals, claims the plain tiff. The attorneys in the case, Baldy Vinson and J. A. Watkins, went tc these places for deopsitions in the
 case. The chancery court here decid ed against Grace F'urih, and in ia

WHEN IS TREASURER
 NOT A TREASURER?

Little Rock, June 14.-The county treasurership in Dallas county will not down and stay down for more than few days at a time Another delegation called on Gov sDoraghey from Fordyce yesterday to see if something could not be done, but no relief was offered them. The treasurer of the county is now in Oklahoma and it is claimed that he had nov ed bis family and residence there. but the treasurer claims he is still a resident of Arkansas.
 Gov. Donaghey had an opinion from the attorney general on this subject stating that the grand jury of Dallas county and the court there would have to declare the office vacant through the regular proceedings be- fore the governor could take action. From the sentiment of the delegation here yesterday, something of this nature will be attempted at the next term of court in Dallas county.

EXPECT TAYLOR TO RUN FOR CONGRESS Four or Five Candidates
 Proposed in Sixth
 District. GOVERNOR IS SILENT
GOVERNOR IS SILENT
Expected to Announce His Candidacy for Senate Soon-Eisht Ma! Center
 Between Two Candidates.

Little Rock, June 14.-That Sam Taylor of Pine Bluff. permanent chairman of the recent Democratic state convention. will be a candidate for Congress from the Sixth con- sressional district to succeed Con gressman Joe T. Robinson of Lo- noke, at the next Democratic primary is rumor now going the rounds in state political circles. There is ev- cry indication that there will be no less than four or five candidates for Congress in that district when the field starts, unless Congressman Robinson is candidate for re-elec- clares to run again it is believed that he will have no opposition. A politi- elan expressed the belief that al though Robinson has announced that he will be candidate for United States senator, he may change his mind and decide to be a candidate for renomination for Congress.
 Another politician yesterday, how ever. declared that it was foolish to consider congressional situations un- til after the next legislature meets.
 New District Probable.
 'The chances are ten to one that the next legislature will be called upon to create new congressional district and that will call for another congressman from Arkansas said this politician. "The census will probably show such an increase in Arkansas that the state will be given more representation in Congress. Such has been the case following the taking of the census every ten years for the past 30 or 40 years in Ar kansas.
 '.The state has been given one new congressman after each census and it is only reasonable to believe that the state will secure still another one following this census, since it is well known that Arkansas has groWr rapidly in the past ten years. The next legislature will do the redis- tricting, if another district is added AS the result you can see the fallacy of figuring very extensively on congressional situation at this time.
 Look for DOnaghey to Run.
 Following the Democratic state convention it was expected that Gov ernor George w. Donaghey might make some statement as whether ht may be in the race for United States senator two years hence. 1t is gen orally believed that he will be can didate and some anticipate a state ment to that effect from the gover nor within short time. Congress man Joe T. Robinson and ex-Con gressman s. Brundidge have announc ed that they will be in the race ant it is assured that United States Sen ator Jeff Davis will be candidate for reelection.
 Politicians are now discussing thu possibility of a four, three Or two cornered race for senator, some ex pressing the opinion that the wind up will see only Donaghey and Da wis in the race, while others predic that all four may be in it to th end. Still others believe that eithe Robinson or Brundidge will drop out one of the two remaining in so tha the contest will be three-cornered.

Don't Molest Teams

J. M. Hall has been annoyed a
great deal lately by having his
teams driven around town and short
distances out into the country, at
different times when he had them
IN town, and he has warning
notice in this issue. He says this
has been going on for more
than year and Friday night his
team disappeared and he notified
the sheriff and they waited at the
hitch rack south of Richardson's
store for the return of the parties
who were driving the team. They
returned after a short time and
were promptly arrested. They
were thoroughly lectured by Mr..
Hall and they apologized very hum
bly,, explaining that they had an err
rand to run,of only a short distance,
and that they endeavored to hndMr.
Halls son before using the team,
and secure his consent.
The young men paid a fine and
costs before Justice Collins,
amounting to ST. each.
Mr.. Hall says he thinks that
this is the first time these young
men have driven his team but he
is satishad that others have done
it repeatedly and he wants it stop
ped.
Quit it boys. If you want to
drive mans team, however, short
a distance, see him first and get
his permission.

Chris KoegeI and the Gypsies

Chris Koegel and a gang of Gyp-
sy horse traders created lot of
amusement and more excitement
on the streets Saturday afternoon
and it required Mayor SINNERS
presence to suppress the uprising.
Chris and the Gypsles were trying
to deal and Chris claimed that he
had purchased horse from them
for SOS but when he rendered the
money the Gypsies claimed that
the price agreed upon was $I65.
Hot words at once passed between
them and Chris took hold of the
horse and tried to lead it away.
The Gypsies resisted and by this
time a large crowd gathered and
all took Chriss side of the contro-
versy. For a few moments it look
ed like the Gypsies would be hand.
led roughly but Mayor Skinner
arrived on the scene at the critical
moment and commanded the Gyp-
sizes to get out of town at once or
they would be arrested. Thew
took the mayor at his word and

women figured conspicuously and
they did more than the men in re.
tanning possession of the horse. 1t
was real entertaining.

Regulars Win Game

The base ball game between the
business men and the regular team
last Thursday afternoon was an
easy victory for the regulars. The
score ended ~ to 6 and the victors
didn't play much ball at that. 1t
was worth the effort, however, to
see the old boys work. They put
all the vim in it that they could
command and there were a nice
variety of sore muscles the follow.
ing day.
The receipts were $50. The team
is very thankful for the patronage
given it and appreciates the at
tendance very much.
To T. A. Watkins is due more
credit than anyone else. He
planned the game and gave a great
deal of time to calling on the differ.
ent business men and getting their
consent to help out.

Assault and Battery

Arthur w. Brown of Share
township was arrested last We'd
nesday on a warrant issued at the
direction Of County Attorney
Field and served by Sheriff Math-
ews, charged with assault and bat
terry. His wife, Lizzie Brown,
signed the complaint. Mrs. Brown
also filed petition for divorce the
same day, details of which are
published in another column.
Mr.. Brown is charged with
beating his wife, bruising her face
and discoloring one eye. Jealousy
on the part of the husband is said
to have led up to the trouble. For
some time he has been accusing
Mrs. Brown of being unfaithfu1
and she has just as often resented
it. The day of the trouble, Mrs.
Brown and her sister went from
the Brown farm to Sharon, and on
their return home the wife and
husband engaged in a quarrel
which had for its starting point a
bogus registered letter, which was
a mere joke, but the man became
so enraged that he struck his wife.
Mr.. Brown gave a bond of $25o
for his appearance for trial at the
October term of the district court,
and he has employed Noble &
Tincher to defend him. 1t is very
unfortunate as we'll as regrettable
that this family can not live to-
gether peaceably and harmoniously.

Lost One; Won One

The Medicine Lodge base ball
team played two games at Pratt
last week-one on Friday and enc
on Saturday. The first game was
won by Pratt in score of 9 to ?,
and the second days game was
won by Medicine Lodge in a score
of to o. First games battery,
Axline and Davis; second game,
Fair and Schmidt.
Our boys were handicapped the
first day on account of the fact that
Paul Fair, one of the strongest men
in the team, could not be with
them, but in the second game the
entire team was on the Job and
they played ball from start to fin
ish.
Pratt has one of the best teams
an southern Kansas. All are sal.
aried players and they play ball all
the time. That our boys were able
to divide honors with them is a
! high compliment and one of which
our people may we'll feel proud.
The boys say they were treated
fine by Pratt, which completely
wipes out the unpleasantness ex.
perienced when they played at
Pratt last year.
Both teams played clean ball
and good ball and these were prob.
ably the best games in which the
Medicine Lodge team has so far
engaged this season.

The Fortune Teller "Hiked"

The next time you happen to
be annoyed by Gypsy" fortune
tellers, try Charley Taliaferro's
remedy. Charley happened to have
his house all torn up last week,
his wife having gone away on a
visit, when one of these duskies
called on him. Without giving
him a chance to say aye, yes or no
the old dame of foreign dialect be.
gan in this fashion: "You hard
working man, hat mooch trouble,
bad luck and look sad. But now
come change. You soon have goot
luck, you be rich pooty soon,
troubles go away quick-let me
tell fortune" But Col. Charles,
instead of Frightening up, became
more downcast aud apparently
seemed more morose than ever and,
scarcely looking p,shOok his head
and sighed almost mournfully, at
the same time answering slowly
and in an undertone: "Ah no
there is no good luck for me.
Wife just died of smallpox and
I'm packing up to leave the coun-
try" Without stopping to argue
the case any farther, the female
from the foreign land turned on
her heels and fairly flew. In the
getaway she fell over a couch and
we have Charlev's word for it that
she wore stockings four yards long.
Her pal" had gone to w. L
Bragg's house about the same
time and she signaled her. When
the two got together there was
short conference in uninterpretable
lingo and in another instant both
were measuring off earth at
the rate of ten feet per stride
and they haven't been seen in the
city since.
