ATTORNEY GENERAL NORWOOD APPEALS THE STATE
 CAPITOL CASE.
The Suit of Arkansas vs. Caldwell 6 Drake Will Be Carried to the
 Supreme Court.

Attorney General Norwood has ap- pealed the mandamus suit recently decided in favor of Caldwell & Drake by the Pulaski circuit court. An in teresting question regarding the bond feature was sprung by John w. Black wood, attorney for the former state capitol contractors, but the matter was finally settled by the attorney general agreeing to try the case be- fore the supreme court at once, and avoid all possible delay. Caldwell & Drake are seeking to mandamus the state auditor to issue a warrant on the treasurer for $32, 900, the amount they claim the state owes them for work done on the state capitol prior to their discharge by the legislature two years ago. As d lower court had held that the mandamus proceed ing was not a suit against the state, MT. Blackwood contended that Auditor lobe should be required to give a bond before appealing the case. The matter was finally settled as stated above.

OSCAR CHETWOOD
 SLAIN BY A MOB
PRISONER SHOT DOWN AT COOR OF THE GARLAND COUNTY
 JAIL.
Deputy Sheriff Quickly Overpowered by Masked Men, Who Riddle the
 Prisoner With Bullets.

Hot Springs Chitwood. un- der indictment for first degree mur- der, in connection with the killing of the late Jake HoGpt, sheriff of Car land county, was taken from the GUS tody Of Deputy Sheriff John Rulhcr- ford here at o'clock in the morning and riddled with bullets, while the officer was endeayoring to remove the prisoner from the county jail to the peniteHtiary al Little Rock for safe keeping. The tragedy occurred at the east door of the county jail within a few feet of where the scaf- fold upon which Harry Poe was hanged a few months ago had been erected. So systematically and with such dispatch had the lynching been planned, and SO swiftly were the plans carried out that few citizens Of Hot Springs knew anything of the af- fair until daylight There was no unusual stir, and probably not over 25 meE were connected with the plot to deal such summary punishment to Chitwood
 Following is Deputy RUtherford's account Of the tragedy:
 Just as we stepped out of the jail door three or four men stepped into the enclosure from the street door They wore black handkerchiefs over their faces and each carried d re volver. They aimed their revolyers at my head and one told me to put up my hands I did not have time to draw my own revolver, so I threw up my hands. Ghitwood did not say word He was handcuffed and of course had no chance to make fight. So while he stood there looking at them and I stood beside him with my hands in the air, the three men shot him to death.'

Fort Smith.-The Arkansas river at Fort smith is lower than it has been for many years years and little work on it no4 would change the channel back to the Fort Smith side. For the last two years the river has been making an effort to break through the bar, and now it would be an easy matter to change the flow of the current so as to make the channel at the point where the water has been cutting through the bar, but they are not diverting the current as the bars are much higher than the surface of the river.

RECORD FOR BASES ON
BALLS.

A former New York pitcher
Billy George, a left-hander,
probably holds the National
league record for wildness.
George was with the Giants dur
ing the Mutrie regime. In a
game at the old Polo grounds,
on the morning of Decoration
day, 1887, the southpaw passed
II of Adrian Constantine An
sons Chicago White Stockings
to first base, hit two men and
uncoiled a pair Of wild pitches.
All this inaccuracy was crowded
into a game of regulation length,
the visitors winning 1t by
score of II to II. Mark Bald
win, who afterward was with
the New York club and who
now is a doctor in Pittsburg,
pitched for the Illinois team.
