PEDDLER IS MISSING HEIR
JOHN C. BOWMAN OF LITTLE
ROCK RECEIVES SEVERAL
HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Little Rock, July 22.-Through the
agency of President Sam w. Reyburn
of the Union Trust Company, John c..
Bowman, Little Rock peddler, for
merliy living at 81 Cumberland
street, was discovered to be the miss
ing heir to an Illinois estate. Bowman
left Illinois many years ago and trav-
eled over great deal of the United
States before locating in Little Rock
three or four years ago. During his
absence his aunt had died, leaving her
property to be divided among the
heirs. Bowman had not been heard
of in Is years and it was supposed
that he had died. He was so adjudged
by the courts, but a friend of Mr..
Reyburn's in Carrollton, ILL.,, who was
also administrator to the estate, heard
of Bowman's possibility of being alive
and in Little Rock and sent an attor,
ney, Norman l.. Jones, here with let
ter of introduction. Mr.. Reyburn
soon discovered the missing heir to be
Bowman and the search was ended
Although Bowman's share is only q
few hundred dollars, the fact that his
wife is i'll in the hospital will make
the inheritance doubly welcome to
him.

JUDGE ASHER TO
ACT ON PETITION
SALOONISTS GIVEN Time
COURT WILL FIRST ALLOW ALI,
WHO DESIRE TO REMOVE
NAMES.

Little Rock, July 22.-Since the IA
nous three-mile petition was filed the
prohibitionists have secured over 400
names to be added to the 17,172 filed
two weeks ago. Two men are paid to
solicit signers and probably hundred
workers are in the field securing
names. The saloon interests say there
will be hearing of the petition by
Judge Asher before next October, as
he will not wait for the mandamus
hearing in circuit court. AS soon as
the remonstrants have prepared their
case, with list of those who want
their names withdrawn, the petition
will be heard.
The prohibitonsts claim that only
85 of the 1900 whose names were filed
with them to be removed from the pc
tition were found to have signed the
original petition, and they are claim
ing that the saloon men will not be
able to take more than 100 names
from the petition. Lewis Rhoton, for
mer prosecuting attorney and pros
pective candidate for attorney general,
is among the prominent men who
have signed the petition since it was
filed with the county judge.

MOST REPORTS
ARE UNFOUNDFD
BOIL WEEYILS SCARCE
COMMISSIONER SLOAN SAYS,
HOWEVER, PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE TAKEN.

Little Rock, July 22.-From time to
time, from various portions of the
state, come reports of probable boil
weevils. Fortunately, with the ex-
ception of few of the southern coun-
ties, these reports have, upon investi-
cation, proven to be unfounded. The
insects have proven to be harmless
beetles or some other bug of perfectly
genteel habits. Commissioner Sloan
calls attention to the fact that Paul
Hayhurst, entomologist in the Univer-
sity of Arkansas, is ready and pre-
pared at all times to answer any cues
tions regarding supposed boil weevils,
and it is not necessary to send them
outside the state for expert testimony
as to their character. No charge what
ever is made for this service, and it
would be found very helpful to the
agricultural interests if the farmers
would take advantage of it.
Mr.. Hayhurst has sent to Commits
sioner Sloan copies of letters sent to
inquiries, and in no instance has he
found the genuine weevil. Some of
the insects sent him were nothing
more than lice, which are really in
furious, but the lady beetles, supposed
to be weevils, which accompanied
them, are harmless on the cotton, and
are great enemies of the lice, feeding
upon them as cats do on mice. Anoth-
er parasitic enemy of the boil weevi
and the lice are the four-winged
wasplets. Mr.. Hayhurst advises that
all fields and fence corners should be
cleaned out, thereby reducing the dan,
ger from the weevil "Cleaning up the
fields in the fall" says he, Especially
by means of fall blowing or burning
the fields over, if this is possible
tends to discourage the insects in get
ting over the winter alive, thus re-
ducing the number that would get a
start next year."

QUITS TEACHING FOR LAW.

Little Rock, July 22.-Notwith-
standing the increase in the average
salaries paid the Arkansas teachers,
many of them continue to find it an
improbable business. Another prom
inent member of the teaching profess
sion has deserted the school room for
the bar, Prof. S. J. T. Wynne, for the
last year principal of the Searcy pub
lie schools, and prior to that in the
Harrison and Newark schools. He
has quit teaching for the law, and re-
signed as county examiner of White
county. Prof. j. F. Boggs has just
been appointed his successor as ex-
aminer.

ANOTHER CASE IS
TAKEN FROM JURY
COURT WORKS RAPIDLY
CIVIL DOCKET CLEARED OF
ELEVEN CASES FROM FRI
DAY TO SATURDAY NOON.

Judge Eugene Landlord took anoth-
er case from the jury thi smorning,
when after hearing the evidence of
the plaintiff in the suit of T. J. Mid
dleton against j. d. Diffee, he decided
it would not be necessary for the de-
tense to put any witnesses on the
stand, and instructed the jury to find
for the defendant. Middleton had sued
Diffee to recover about $500 which he
alleged he had paid for certain terri
tory in a soap powder compound pat
ented by Diffee, the plaintiff alleging
that the territory was worthless for
the purposes for which it was sold.
The plaintiff, it is stated, will appeal
to the supreme court.
The court has accomplished a con-
siderable amount of work in the two
halliday sessions since Friday noon.
IL cases on the civil docket having
been disposed of for the term. No
criminal cases have been tried since
Thursday.
In the case of H. j. Glover VS..
Woodman Circle, Grace Tapley, inter
venor, the jury returned verd:..t
which gives the intervenor the ell
tire amount of a $1,000 policy in the
Woodman Circle, held by the plain
tiff's wife and the intervenor's moth
or Mrc CIovar ,,,,c ne,,roJ fo, ~, ~
amount stated, her daughter by a for
mer marriage, Grace Tapley, heing
the beneficiary, but shortly before her
death she transferred one-half the
amount of the policy to her husband.
The insurance organization declined
to pay until the matter was settled,
and when Glover filed suit an inter
vention was filed for the daughter,
who alleged the transfer was made at
a time when the insured was in a dy-
ing condition and mentally incapable
of making such a transaction. The
verdict of the jury sustained the con-
| tentions. of the intervenor
Gaspard Brun was given a judg-
ment for $500 against Fred Varone,
Jr., on an alleged debt, Varone is
said to live in Europe now, but has
$500 on deposit in the Bank of Con-
way, against which the plaintiff Sc
cured a writ of garnishment. The
garnishee is ordered to hold the funds
until further order of the court or
until good bond for the amount be
given in accordance with statutes.
The case of Mrs. B. T. Markham
against the estate of John Kelley, de-
ceased, was settled this afternoon, a
judgment for the plaintiff by agree
ment for $162.50 being entered. In
the probate court the claim of Mrs
Markham for 5000 due for board fur
nished to Kelley was allowed and the
administrator appealed to circuit
court.
