Big Crop of 'Possums.

Harrison, Oct. 25.-The first frosts of the season, which rip ened the luscious persimmons, brought out of their dens the largest crop of 'possums ever known in this district. They have become so numerous north of town that they are a nuisance to the farmers, who are forming hunting parties to exterminate them. John Bush, who lives two miles north of town, killed seven of the negro's favorite game within half an hour this week, and could have got more, he said, if he hadn't become tired of throwing stones.

Muirhead Snake Bitten.

Charles w. Muirhead of the Muirhead Shingle Company while picking up some chunks of wood on their logging road near Bear Lake, was snake bit ten Thursday but his presence of mind and prompt action pre- vented any serious reeults.
 When he raised a piece of wood, he felt a sting in one fin ger of the right hand and look ing down saw a ground rattler had struck him. The snake was about three feet long and of a very poisonous kind.
 He immediately began sucking the wound and also cut the flesh causing it to bleed freely and seems to have pulled all the pois- on out. He was here Friday and had the wound dressed. His many friends are pleased to know that no serious results fol- lowed.

Of Three Candidates For Gov. ernOr In Open Letter
 Issued.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 27.-AttOr- ney General Hal L. Norwood has addressed a letter to each of his opponents, Gov. Donaghcy ,and Congressman Joe T. Robinson, suggesting a conference for the purpose of agreeing upon joint campaign. He says that he will meet them in his own office, or anywhere else that may agreed upon, that they may agree on a series of speaking appointments for the state. No reply has yet been received by him.
 In dicussing his entrance into the race at this time, Gov. Don- aghey said: 11The situation is such that l am compelled to make the race for governor again. The enemies of the peo- pie have hampered me so that ] have not had tlie opportunity to do what should have been done for the tate. If l were to pack my tent and leave the battlefield now and say to the people for whom I have been fighting that I am whipped, I would feel that I am undeserving the support they have already given me. The legislative machine has fought me throughout the past legisla- lures, and now it has got to fight me before the people of the state of Arkansas
 Gov. Donaghey is attempting to arrange his affairs so that he can attend the conference of Southern governors, which has been called to meet at the St. Charles hotel, in New Orleans, October 30, for the purpose of considering plans for holding the cotton crop for better prices.
 Gen. Norwood addressed the people at the Carlisle fair last Thursday, and will be one of the several prominent political speakers at Delight on Saturday.

 Little Rock, Oct. 27.-An eff fort is being made today in fed eral court to throw out the ill., dictment against Jesse Smith ton, for violation of the Mann white slave act of congress, on the ground that "the indictment does not state sufficient facts to constitute an offense againt the government, and for further reason that the act of congress under which said indictment Is drawn is unconstitut onal, be- cause congress has no power to legisate on the subject matter of the statute.
 Terry, Downie 6 Streepy. Douglas Heard and Jones & Ow- ems appear as counsel for the ac- cused. It is the first case of the kind that has come up under the new law in Arkansas, and therefore more than ordinary in- terest attaches to it. It is claimed by the defense, among other things, that a trip to Scar cy from Little Rock, does not make it an interstate trip, even though it may have been the in tention to continue the journey later.
 Smithton is the man who is accused of turing away from her home Bertie Crouch, aged IF, by promises of taking her to Chi cago to become an actress. She was gone a week before located in Searcy in company with Smithton at the county fair.
