HAVE FARMS
 TO SELL STATE
Selection Of Convict Farm For Whites Soon To Re
 Considered.
Special to Independent

Special to Independent
 i Little Rock, Aug. 11.-Attor- ney General Norwood will return to Little Rock from Baker Springs, where he has been spending the summer with his family, and will be present t.t the meeting of the Arkansas Penitentiary Board tomorrow. All members will be in the city at that time, and as Gov. Dora- ghey was so much better today he was able to leave his room, he will also attend the meeting.
 It is probable that the matter of selecting the 25OO acre farm for white convicts will como up at the Saturday meeting and committees appointed to investi- gate the various sites which have been proposed to the Board. Former Senator Mar shall Patterson has a tract of land in Northeast Arkansas he thinks will be the real thing for the farm upon which white cOnVictS are to be worked. Frank Kitchens of Helena also desires to sell the state a planta- tion in Eastern Arkansas, i'll Phillips county.
 w. H. Langford of Pine Bluff desires to sell the Board an ideal location in Jefferson county. Representative Joe Hardage has a plat of ground between Arka- delphia and Gurdon which he de- sires to sell to the state for the farm, and there is still another bid from the vicinity of Hope.
 All of these will be given due consideration by the Board, and all visited in order that the best might be secured. There will no doubt be several other offers made to the Board, as Western Arkansas, and the northern part of the state, has as yet offered nothing, and it is intimated the Board desires to get to part of the state where portion of the farm will be in the mountains, where fruit can be raised.

Autoists Find Bad Roads.

Getting stuck up in the mud twice and running into Memphis on a flat tire was the experience of an automobile party compos- posed of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Bond and Mrs. c. c. Henry and Irving Hirsch.
 The tourists left this place Wednesday morning and should have reached Memphis that night, but a little way out of Grubbs were stuck in a mud hole where they had to work up to their waists in water, but with the help of a team of mules the car was pulled out.
 No other accident occurred until they had reached the St. Francis River bottoms where they spent the night in another hole of unknown depth.
 After spending S19 for mule hire the party reached Mem phis at 3::3O Thursday afternoon with flat tire.
 They left Memphis Friday morning for Jackson, Tenn.

PICKED TEAM
 FROM ARKANSAS
To Contest For Honors In Sharpshooters National
 Encampment.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Aug. 11.-It has practically been decided to send a picked team from the sharp shooters of the Arkansas Nal tional Guard to Camp Perry, O. next month to compete for the national honors with the state soldiers of other states. How the team will be picked has not been determined, and cannot be until all of the companies have finished their annual encan1p- ment at the range. There are still several companies at the state riflerange at Beebe.
 It is probable that the men having the best records, will be ordered back to the Beebe range and there compete for the honor representing the state at Camp Perry. After the team has been selected a regular army coach will devote several weeks with the men, instructing them in the way of shooting at Camp Perry, and how to allow for the peculiar lake wind, which changes so rapidly. In this man ner Arkansas expects to move up considerably in the standing this year.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Last Niaht's Play,


A large and fashionable audience
was cut last night to see. the first play
at the opera house for several weeks.
The audience was in a receptive mood
and enjoyed to the utmost little Miss
Ida st. Leon as Polly in the comedy
drama. Polly OF the Circus"
Although this is the second season
this production has been on the road
Il has lost none OF its originality and
spice and the circumstances which
bring the little circus rider and the
sky pilot together are Just as amusing
and are just as pathetic as they were
the first time.
There Is many incidents in Polly CT
the Circus" which are true to life. The
weakness OF human nature to criticisa
where only purity and right exists il
brought out forcibly when the deacons
get after the parson to drive the little
girl from his home.
The part OF Polly is ably played by
Miss st. Leon and her work in the first
act when she is suffering from the eff
fects Of fall IS interpreted well The
frank questions and the circus slang
seem to roll from her dainty little
mouth as naturally as Il could be. Then
again in the second act where she had
changed into almost an entirely differ
ent person the naturalness of manner
was just as real and she made the
audience weep with her when she
thought 1t her duty to leave the young
preacher.
William Robertson played the part
Of the Rev. John Douglas and while
this character is considerably over
drawn Mr.. Robertson got away with 4
creditably. The long drawn-out phrases
did not seem to indicate that he was
familiar with the real sky pilots, bur
he had part that the audience liked
and 1t was satisfied with him.
Other members Of the cast did not
stand out prominently. In fact, there
were no celebrities in the entire cast
but the production as a whole was
good The show had veins of humor
and pathos and love and the three
form q happy combination that ell
audiences like.
The scenery in all the acts was good
and the last act, with the tents of the
circus, the horses. the clowns and

The chief was on his way home last
night about IL O'Clock when he noticed
the negro lettering around on East

and began questioning him, and the
negro could give no reasonable excuse
for hanging around as he was and
told several different stories about his
age. residence, etc. He told the chief
one, time that he was Is years old
and later told him that he came here
from Selma about five years ago and
that he was 21Eyears old when he
came here. He said he lived on Alcaniz
street, but that he did not know where
Gadsden street was.

BASTARD TRIES TO
ATTACK HAMMOND GIRL
Timely Arrival of Officer
Malo Prevents Commits
sion of Crime.

Caught in the act of attempting to
attack 3 year old girl. Carl Reese
living on South Holman street. near
Wilcox was placed under arrest by
officer Malo at Calumet avenue near
Wilcox late Saturday night. But for
the time assistance of officer Malo
Reese might have succeeded in his
dastardly object, according to the girls
own testimony
The girl was in the company of
another young Hammond lady whom
she was accompanying home. Reese.
who had evidently been watching for
the girl noticed her leaving and start
ed to follow her. After the girl had
taken her friend home Reese followed
her down Michigan avenue where he
caught up with her at Calumet avenue.
Here Reese tried to attack the girl.
He threw her on the ground and tried
to muffie her cries for help when Of
ficer Malo appeared and placed him un-
der arrest. The girl was taken to her
home where she was more frightened
than hurt. She was able to appear at
the police station this morning to make
the serious charge against Reese.
Il have asked my daughter many
times to refuse to recognize that fellow
and have ordered him to leave her
alone" said the girls father this morn
ing. II did not see him follow her or
would have went out after him with
a gun"
The case will be filed in the Superior
Court by Prosecutor Ross and will be
tried at the September term. Reese is
"a years old and has only been in this
county years. where he is employed
as fireman Nothing is known of his
past record and it is thought that he
has never been In trouble before. This
Reese says to be true
