ACCUSED OF
ATTEMPTED
EXTORTION
W. j. SCOTT ARRESTED AT ROSE
BURG, CHARGED WITH AT
TEMPTING TO .EXTORT $3.50
FROM ANTOINE GALLAGHER.

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE,
Roseburg, Or, March 6.-Accused
of attempting to extort $3.50 from
Antoine Gallagher, a wealthy Dixon
vile farmer, w. j. Scott, who lives a
short distance north of the city, is
under arrest here today, and is be-
ing held awaiting a preliminary hear
ing.
Sheriff Quine declares that SCOTT
recently wrote a letter to Gallagher
in which he ordered him to place $3.50
on fence post short distance from
the Gallagher home. In the event of
failure to deposit the money, the
writer of the letter threatened to
kill Gallagher and his wife and moth
er, as well as 10 burn the ranch
buildings.
The letter was mailed in Roseburg
February 23, and upon being received
by Gallagher was turned over to the
sheriff. When it was ascertained
that Scott had been employed on the
Gallagher ranch several months prior
to last January, and was not on
friendly terms with his former en-
ployer, suspicion pointed to him as
the guilty one. To obtain possession
of a specimen of Scott's Handwriting,
that 1t might be compared with the
letter written Gallagher, the officer
mailed to the suspect a decoy COM
munication, in VIII oh he offered Scott
a position at a liberal salary. On re-
celpt Of Scott's reply, the sheriff, af-
ter carefully comparing the writing
in both communications, stated that,
in his opinion, they were written by
the same person.
Scott refuses to talk, further than
to deny the accusation.

ParagOuld, Nov. 5.-The Rev. R. o. Rogers, formerly pastor of the First Christian church of this city, but more recently of
 Altus, Okla., has been in Para
 gould the past few days investi- gating a rumor that seriously ,l f1ected on his character. The wife of the Rev. MT. Rogers re-
 gently died at Altus, and the
 body was sent to this city and in tered here.
 Shortly after the death of
 Mrs. Rogers report was circu- lated to the effect that there was
 strong suspicion that the minis ter had administered poison to his wife, and that on the initia- tive of sister, who resides at Kennett, Mo-, the body was to be exhumed and an examination made of the stomach. The Rev. MT. Rogers on hearing this re- port, immediately came to this city and sought to have the body disinterred and an analysis made asserting that an investigation would prove him the victim of malicious rumors circulated by his enemies. It seems that no one cared to shoulder the respon- sibility for the charge, and it al so developed that the rumors did not emanate from the relatives of Mrs. Rogers.
 The Rev. MT. Rogers has a statement signed by the father, step-mother, brothers and sis ters of his wife to the effect that they never entertained such a suspicion against him, and had never made any statement that could give rise to the charges. The Rev. MT. Rogers has a docu- ment which he says completely vindicates his character, and de- clares that he is still willing, if necessary, to have his wife's body exhumed and the stomach examined at his own expense.

Judge c. T. Humphries called on us while here holding court this week and informed us that he was in the race for re-elec- tion to the office of chancery judge of this district. Judge Humphries is a man of strong mind and firm, but considerate in all things, and we believe will be hard to beat for chancery judge. He has made friends throughout this district that will do all in their power to retain him in the office he now holds and of which he seeks reelection. All the attorneys, so far as we have heard, in the number of counties where he holds court, have learned to like and appre- ciate his kindness in all matters brought before him. We have no doubt but what Baxter coun- ty will pile up a good vote for him at the coming primary; not only Baxter county but all the counties in the district Baxter County Citizen.

 Girl.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 6.-J. B. Smithton, the carnival perform CT and travelling hypnotist, was released from the custody of the United States authorities Satur- day afternoon, the district attor- ney having nolle pressed the in- |dictment alleging violation of the White Slave act passed by the congress. The government decided that it could not make out a case against him, as the of fense he is alleged to have com mitted had no clements of inter- state traffic in it.
 Immediately after his release, he was re-arrested by a deputy constable upon warrant charg- ing him with a felony under the state law, for the enticing of a girl under IS years, and will be given a preliminary hearing be- fore Judge Sanders Tuesday. In the meantime he is in jail, being unable to give bond, and proba- bly, not desirous of doing so, be- cause of the fact that Robert E. Crouch, father of the girl whom he is alleged to have en- ticed from the city, has repeat edly declared that he will be re- venged upon Smithton the first opportunity he has.
 It is charged that he enticed Bertie Crouch, aged 17 years, to leave Little Rock with him, and that he took her to Searcy, trav- cling as man and wife, and prom ising that he would take her to Chicago and make an actress of her. They were arrested at Searcy and brought back to Lit tie Rock on government charge and he was indicted by the fed eral grand jury. No charge of any kind was ever preferred against the girl.
