CHITWO0D MAY
 YET LOSE ARM
Man Who Is Charged With Accessory to Murder in Duel in Which Sher. iff Houpt and George Chitwood Was Killed, Tells of the
 Double Tragedy.

Little Rock, Aug. 22.-It is by no means certain yet that the left arm of Oscar Chitwood, the Garland county desperate, will not have to be amputated. He is now suffering ex- crutiating pain from the arm and Dr. Harrison, the penitentiary physician, has been forced to open a good DOT tion of the arm about the elbow in order that it may be better drained. Pieces of bone have also been taken out and if the physicians are able to save the arm, it will be stiff for the balance of Chitwood's life.
 Chitwood is at times eager to dis cuss the Hot Springs difficulty in which his brother George, and Sheriff Jake Houpt lost their lives, but what little he tells is apparently for the purpose of drawing out those who are questioning him for the purpose of putting together a story for his de- fense when he is placed on trial in Hot Springs.
 Chltwood has not been visited by an attorney yet, but the craftiness he has so far displayed would not indicate he is in need of a lawyer. To hear Chit wood talk one would wonder how the Wiry little fellow ever had the nerve to climb upon the ridge pole of a house, much less get in a running pistol duel with the sheriff of Garland county.
 He claims to have been a carpenter working at the trade for the past eight years in Wyoming and Cobra do, and to have returned to his home but short time before he went to Hot Springs. He says that he and George went to Hot Springs to get an order for a horse taken from their place by the officers, and had an hours talk with the sheriff and his brother, in which they were given the order for the horse and the officers told them there was nothing against them.
 He expressed great surprise at the later actions of the sheriff and pro- fesses much innocence, though he shows very plainly that he does not appreciate the prospect of standing trial for accessory to murder. Since being informed of the death of Sheriff Houpt he has said little, and his tenn perature has risen. He also suffers much with his wound, but says he will be cleared by any jury who hears his side of the story. He Is now in the hospital of the Arkansas penitentiary, where he has been pho tographed and visitors are permitted to talk with Chitwood, though none of his Garland county friends or rela- tives have asked permission of the jail authorities.

LANDS MUST JOIN.
 SAYS COFFMAN

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 22.- State lands which are donated must be in body, according to the statutes of Arkansas, and State Land Commits sioner L. L. Coffman will not per init this to be deviated from. He has received a request for the donation of two forties and the county clerk of the county has passed favorably upon it, one forty lying on one side of an S0-acre farm, and the other on the opposite side. Commissioner Coffman holds that the ownership of the in- tervening land does not make the two forties the owner wishes to donate a part of an adjoining body, as under the law. as he sees it, the forties must join. For that reason he denied the application, but informed the appli- cant he could take up two forties on the sa1le side and the office would gladly approve of it..

Sunny Side Of Life
By r. s..

You canscarcely understand how
much sweet and wholesome wis
dom lies in simply making the
best Of things. If We fancy We
are going to make circumstances
bend to us we are sadly mistaken,
and on the reverse we would be
continually running our heads
against the stone wall. The habit
of looking on the sunny side of
life is invaluable. IF you haven't
the things you want, which none
Of us have, just make upyour mind
to do without them, until yon are
in a position to get them. Grum-
bling will accomplish nothing.
The safest and wisest course to
pursue is to always look on the
sunny side and geta the pleasure
out of life III you can. If you
don't, ,oa n ne yourself miserable
as well rs ose about you.
Oh! but tn,re is much in life to-
make one happy, if we would only
look for the bright side. God did
not put us here to be miserable
and if we are it is no fault Of His
It is all our own. We are all sub
ject to dark days in the course of a
lifetime, but hope will bid us to
struggle IN and as we look forward
into the future fancy points us to
days. It is far better to
take things calmly and endeavor
to be contented with our lot. Wei
may then at least add some rays of
sunshine to our path if we earnest
y endeavor to dispei the clouds of
discomfort that arise in our bosoms,
and enjoy the beautiful blessings
that God gives to His humblest
Contentment is an ex-
,ellent trait of human character.
Send all disappointments to the
Jour corners of the earth and take
life as it is, and with strong will
make it as nearly what it should
be as possible. It is generally
Known that those who expect much
will very often be disappointed.

IL one desires to read a good
book to pass away the time pleas
antly or to drive away the 'blues
and make one forget his troubles,
Mark Twain's Life on the Missis-
sippi'' fills the bill. The amusing
situations in which h Q author
finds himself while serving as APP
prentice to pilot on a MISSISSIPPI
pi steamboat will produce smile,
provided one has q sense of hu-
NOR. IL one hasn't, it is worse
than useless to read any humorous
book.
Mark Twain is rightly called
Americas foremost humorist. He
has the mack" of making his
characters live, and the humor is
clean and to the point. Although
not all Of Twain's books are up 10
the same standard Of Life on the
Mississippi none of them are
really bad, that is if yon enjoy
reading q book Of that kind. OF
course, it is not q good idea to read
all humorous books, but, as some
/
one has said, "Humor is the spice
of life, and taken in small doses
I adisperses the clouds of gloom
and makes one take q brighter view
of life in general.

more delightful guide than Du

than the Land of the Midnight

tions are far better than even your
own vision, and when you have
saturated yourself with the glorles
Of the Auro Borealis, spend Sum-
mer in Norway, 3419, and you will
learn great many things about
the land of your ancestors that will
have visible effect on your chest

When [ was younger man, |

also of the Figi Islands. You can
do the same right now If you call
for 1891 or 1898. / am sorry to
say that Lumholtz, 1896 deviates
considerably from the straight and
narrow path and [ cannot recon-
mend him as a guide, but the first
two I mentioned are most excel
lent.
Now, in closing, / wish TO say
that the Stoddard set which we
have, 3489 to 1897, will carry you
anywhere. These books are well
edited and are as complete as it is
possible to make such a varied as
sortment of travel. By means of
this set alone you can encompass
the earth and see, Tin imagination,
everything worth seeing from the
Passion Play to the street dogs of

For the very last word I have re-
served the books we have by Roose-
welt. If you have one drop of red
blood left, bis hunting stories will
stir it to livelier action. Hunting
the Grisly, 1882; Hunting Trip of
a Ranchman, 1888; Hunting Trip
on the Prairie. 1884, and The
Wilderness Hunter. 1885. Now,
you men who were alive once and
will be again, go with Roosevelt
through all his varied experiences;
let your pulses beat for a time at
least in union with the pulse of
the greatest American, living or

freedom, when you in your humble
sphere can act as private under him
