DISCOVERS PROPERTY
OF DALHOFF ESTATE

A representative Of the estate of
Henry Dalhoff, deceased, was here
yesterday and was surprised to find
machinery said to be worth $4,000 or
$4,000 which had been standing for
the past seven years at the railway
tunnel, just west of Conway. Mr..
Dalhoff was the contractor who exca-
waited the tunnel for the railway COM
pany, and large air compression out
fit used to operate the drills had never
been removed from the job. The rep
sentative of the estate said he knew
there was some property here belong
ing to the estate, but had no idea that
such valuable machinery had been left
here for so many years. He made ar
rangements to have it dismantled and
removed to Little Rock.

MAN KILLED NOT
MERCINC'S SLAYER
BEEBE MAYOR LEARNS THAT
T. Nj. CHOATE is STILL
ALIVE.

Beebe, Sept. Tt was learned here
yesterday that the "T. NJ. Shoate"
filed in Kirbyville, Tex, a couple of
weeks ago was not the 7. M. Choate
wanted here on charge of the muir
der of Marshal A. Y. MERGING in
July, end for whose arrest a large re-
ward has been offered by the citizens
of this city. The information was
conveyed in telegram from the coro-
ner at Kirbyville, Tex, to Mayor w &.
H. Abingdon, which said:
"T. NJ. Shoate killed here not the
man you wanted"
When the man Shoate was killed a
letter was received here stating that
it was almost certain that he was the
man who had killed Marshal MERGING
IN the letter was enclosed clipping
from one of the KirbyviHe papers Civ
ng a description of the man there and
the name of his slayer. The descrip-
ton was meager one, but as far as it
went it fit the description of the
Choate who killed MERGING.

NORTHERN PEOPLE
PLEAD FOR NEGRO
G OV ERN OVERWHELMED
WITH PETITIONS IN BEHALFk
OF GILCHRIST. ~

Little Rock, Sept Tomorrow,
September 8, is the day originally set
for the execution of the young negro,
Earl Gilchrist, who was sentenced to
death for the murder of another ne
gro, Will Lingley, June a. But an APP
peal was taken soon after hi sconvic-
ton, June 20, and the case is now
pending in supreme court, where it
will not be heard until some time in
October. There is only very remote
chance that the negro will be hanged,
and if the courts should decide against
him, and it be proven that he is only
10 years old, as his mother claims, the
governor will commute his sentence.
But northern papers have worked
themselves into fine frenzy of horror
over the prospect of Arkansas hang9
ing "a kinky-haired babe" and fot
the past week have flooded the gov
ernor's office with petitions, letters,
kilograms and all sorts of protests,
begging, imploring and abusing, urg-
ing him to commute the sentence and
save the state the ignominy of hang
ing children. Petitions containing
5000 names came from Cleveland, o.,
alone, and the letters have poured in
all the way from San Francisco to
Toronto, with a few scattering ones
from the southern states. Anna b.
Shaw, president of the Woman's Suf-
frage Association, sent long tele-
gram of protest, and member of the
interstate commerce commission join
ed his voice with the chorus of horror.
George Judson King, the direct leg
islation advocate who conducted
campaign in Arkansas last year, wir-
ed from San Francisco: 81 am strong
ly of the belief that the communication
of the death sentence upon the negro,
Earl Gilchrist, to life imprisonment
would be an extension of executive
clemency which the country would APP
prove and meet the ends Of justice
in this case
The most unique petition came from
Cleveland, O., enclosing postal mon
ey order for 81 cents for "the reprieve
of this little boy" signed by dozen
contributors of cents to rs cents.
