 Charge AFFIDAVIT MADE E. Willard Was Acquitted of Charge and Says Bales Gave Him
 the Check.
MADE


Bert F. Bales, deputy organizer TOT the Loyal Order of Moose, who was arrested in St. Louis Saturday at the instance of Constable Stewart, was returned to this city yesterday after noon by that officer and made bond h1r his appearance before Magistrate J. A. Frazier Saturday morning. His bond was fixed at $500. The charge against Bales is forgery.
 Bales arrived here with Constable Stewart at 3:30 o'clock in the after noon. National Organizer Albert B.. Wimsett of St Louis, an official of the Moose, and d MT. Jackson of Little Rock, a friend of Mr. Bales, arrived here in the morning and im- nediately arranged t) make bond R.; Bales. When Bales appeared in the magistrates court his bond was ready and he was released.
 Bales strongly denies the charge against him. He was arrested on an dllludVlL ulduo By IT, "llldlu ol lhi6 city, deputy organizer for the Moose, who was arrested on ethe forgery charge, but who, upon being tried and acquitted, charged that Bales gave him the forged check, which bore the signature of H. G.. Hawks, a Ootton Belt conductor.
 Bales says the records will show that he was in Popular Bluff, Mo. organizing a Moose Lodge when the check was supposed to have been forged here. He declares positively that he knows absolutely nothing of the check transaction and is unable to give an explanation why Willard would duplicate him in the matter. When arrested, he signified his de- sire t) return to Pine Bluff without requisition and seems anxious to clear his name of any alleged mis- doing.

UNCLE SAM VS.
 JOHN BULL lightweight Wolgast and Morgan to Meet in Battle at Frisco Today
BOTH BOYS CONFIDENT
Some Real Fistic Work Is Looked For Weigh the Same, Measure
 Same.

San Francisco, July 3.-Unless all signs fail, the championship bout to- morrow between Ad Wolgast and Owen Moran, will be one that will ap- peal to the lovers of ring sport. No matter which angle it is viewed from, there is promise of spirit and purpose full milling. To begin with it is a tussle between a brace of ring men who reasure each for each and weigh pound for pound.
 As ring men, both these fellows have led busy lives. Moran has an- swered the gong nearly one hundred times, while Wolgast, who has only been half as long at the game, has had over eighty engagements. Both boys are confident of victory. The following is the statements:
 By Ad Wolgast.
 T am sure the title will remain II America. There is no chance for Moran to beat me- I hve trained just right for this contest and I know how good I am. Morgan may give ne stubborn contest, but there can be only one result and that is 1 will win from him.
 Probably Moran thinks I cannot hit, but he will know differently be- foro T rot th hrOY,orb with hin, uo will wish he had never heard of me. I am going to beat Moran and beat him good. I boxed him when I was a mere kid and though he says I was afraid of him on that occasion, you can bet I gave him thorough facing.
 But the facing gave him when We met before is nothing to what have in store for him tomorrow. I am go- ing to win and win all the way"
 By Owen Moran.
 T never felt better in my life than I feel right now and I expect to be The lightweight champion of the worlh before sundown tomorrow night. l realize that in Wolgast $ great boy, but I think I am a better one and feel sure I will win from him. have no idea how I 'em going to fight tight now, but I will make the battle according to how Wolgast boxes. l feel than I am stronger than he is; I am better boxer and harder hit ter, and I can't figure how I can lose tomorrow.
 "I have trained faithfully for th's bout and my condition is all I could hope for My wind is fine and I am faster than I ever have been. I feel that I will be able to give England the first lightweight che mpion of the world that she has ever had. I cer- tainly expect to win"

The official maxium of the day was 9S degrees with 105 showing at the government kiosk in front of the Federal build ing.

Unconscious Body of B. J. Abbott Found On Dairy Porch With Pistol Lying
 At His Side
NO CAUSE FOR ACT
Inquest Fails To Reveal And Reason Had Just Returned From Yacs.
 tiOn-Dtdy Taken tO Hope.

B. J. Abbott, 23 years old, former Sunday night at an early hour, when he fired bullet into his own brain. The rash act was carried out at the dairy of E. Baughman, just West of Pine Bluff, it is supposed between s and g o'clock, but Abbott did not die for four hours.
 An investigation by a corners jury yesterday revealed no evidence that would shatter the suicide theory and the verdict of the jury was that the man came to his death by gunshot wound, self inflicted.
 MT. Abbott was a well-to-do and we'll liked young man. He came to Pine Bluff about a year ago from Hope, Ark, and took a position at E. Baughman's dairy, and gave satisfac- tion. He had just been on his va cation of two weeks, which he spent at his old home, Hope and Hot Springs and Stamps, visiting rela- tives. He arrived here Saturday night and did his usual work Sum- day morning.
 Sunday evening he enjoyed a hearty meal with Mir. and Mrs. Baughman, wiSh whom he lived. and gave no evidence of being dis heartened or unhappy. He was in the best of spirits and when MT. and Mrs. Baughman left their home at about o'clock to go to Forest Park, they left him at the house. He was in his room.
 When MT. and Mrs. Baughman re- turned home at S:45 D. m.. they were 1nformed by an old negro on the place that a drunk man. was lying on the porch of the dairy. They in- vest1gated and found Abbott uncon- sclous, with the pistol lying at his side, one chamber empty. He had a bad bullet hole in the left temple ana when spoken to only rolled his eyes. Dr. William Crutcher and Coroner H. B. Williams were called at 11:45 o'clock that night His h,dv was removed to Holderness' under taking establishment, where it was prepared for burial yesterday and taken to Hope in theafternoon flor interment at New Hope, Ark. His father and brother, who came here during the day, accompanied the body.
 Abbott is survived by his father J. P. Abbott, of Hope, Ark; three bro thers, A. H. Abbott of Lockensburg: o. J. Abbott ct Holly Grove, and Claud Abbott of Stamps: twci sis ters, Mrs. Hannah Cook of St.mps, aud Mrs. P. P. Wood of Hot Springs.
 His relatives cannot acc,unt for his rash act. They know of no trou- bles he had and he was in good health. Mr. and Mrs. Baughman say Abbott never complained about any, thing and if he had any ''love af- fair they knew nothing of it.
 When the unconscious man was found Sheriff Edgar Brewster was notified, as it was at first thought that he was victim If foul play.
 
 Denuty Sheriff R.. H. Williams went to the scene and made complete in- vestigation. There is no douht but that Abh,tts died by his own hard His pistol was unidentified as heinz 'is nr"pertv and box of caytridee, . fit t was found in his room There were TO evidences of any s+rueela and no'hire to lead to any 'other but tho sniciae theory.
