 As forecasted in the Graphic last Sunday morning, W. A. Branson now deputy constable under J. Frank Stewart, was named city detective tc replace Dave Glover, who has been in that capacity for nearly two years. Branson's record as an officer won him the appointment over many ar- plicants for the place, among them being Assistant Chief of Police James Reidinger. The latter was offered a minor position in the department, but would not accept. He will probably go on his farm in this county

Tolson, Henry, Mize, Mitchell Boyd and West are at present in the city service. J. L. McBurnett was for mer member of the department and was a good officer. Warren Williams was also a former patrolman and made good until he resigned to engage in other business. Dock Satterfield has also had much experience iii a uniform and the services of Victor Boyd who Is on the Union Statior

Ed Lindsey of Argenta, Shot q and Killed in Law Office
 of J. A. Conner.
ANOTHER IS WOUNDED
Fued is Promised and Governor May Declare Martial Law in Argenta
 To Control It.

Little Rock April 5.-The first 3 death in what promises to be feud to the end. occurred in Little Rock at o'clock Wednesday afternoon when Will Scott, all Argenta officer shot and killed Ed Lindsey, a former deputy constable of Argenta, iii the office of J. A. Conner. Little Rock lawyer. sscott was shot in the wrist end leg, and was struck over the fore. $ head with revolver a gash marking the place where the heavy Colt revol- yer landed. The office of Attorney C1ner is over the Union Trust Com pany, Second and Louisiana streets, in the very heart of the business sec- ton of the city, and when the re- ports of the pistol shooting rang out. the excitement grew intense
 Attorney Conner and another client were in the room when the shooting began, but left before it was over. Lindsey lay dead on the floor and Scott desperately wounded, refused to open the door for fear another of his enemies was coming in, until assured that Little Rock officers were there to protect him. He then permitted tte door to be opened and physicians were called to dress his wounds, while Healey and Roth removed the remains of Lindsey. As. the shooting was the result of the election in Argenta Tuesday, and both sides are determin- cd, more shooting is sure to occur and it is probable Gov. Donagtey will order out the nearest company of the Arkansas National Guard and declare Argenta under martial law until peace again reigns.
 Within an hour after the killing two brothers of the dead man came over the river from Argenta, one armed with a double barreled sho1 gun and the other carried pump gun. Each of the men wore brace of revolvers also. They started oTt to look for Scott or anyone who look- ed like as if they might have had a hand in the killing. Little Rock off, cers met them and persuaded them to return across the river, but even this Is not expected to do more than tenn uorarily delay the clash of the fac tions.
 According to Conner, Scott. who has been a client of his for years, was Ill his office giving deposition when I'd Lindsey came into his office from the stenographer's room at the side, entrance to which he had goiDed fronl the outer han. Lindsey stopped for . nQment and then backed out. A nhSVe later man who was unknown to Conner opened the same door at

Urges Legislators to Sup port Measures to Bring
 About It's Construction
IS LITTLE OPPOSITION
Attorney N J. Can't Tells How It Can Be Done and Suggested Two
 Bips to Avoid Delay.

Nearly four hundred property owE- CTS and taxpayers went On record last night at mass meeting called by the Pine Bluff Board of Trade and tho Retail Merchants Association for the purpose of discussing free bridge for Jefferson county and legislation to secure 1t. as being heartily In fav- or of the bridge, and in speeches sev- eral of them declared that 1t was the only thing that could bring about q Greater Pine Bluff and Jefferson county. s. c. Alexander was electe d chairman and E. M. Schober, secretary Only two men, J. c. Taylor 'tnd Charles F. Moore spoke against the free bridge MT. Moore created much amusement when he declared In a ringing speech that the earthqnake of few days ago was caused by nothing more than she "infernal taxa tion' that is being imposed upon the people of Arkansas.
 The mass meeting with the excep- ton of MT. Taylor's negative vote, unanimously adopted a motion offe cd by Ben Well, urging the Legislator from this county to support and work for the passage of bill creating an improvement district of Jefferson county, and another measure giving the people of this county an opportun- ity to express their sentiment at me polls regarding the building of the free bridge by the county, undAr Amendment No. 10, which are now be- ing prepared by Attorneys Coleman and Can't, at the request of the Board of Trade and Retail Merchants Asso- citation, and will be presented to the General Assembly for consideration and adoption. The motion received a second from General R. M. Knox and after some discussion, was unani- mously approved.
 A number of enthusiastic appeals were made by representative business men and property owners for the fr"1 bridge, but the most interesting and enl'ghtening address was made by \ = torney N. J. Can't, who was request ed to outline the methods to be use'l in securing proper legislation for tue proposed highway bridge across the Arkansas river at or near Pine Bluff Mir. Can't said 1t was necessary te en- ter into a discussion as to why we need a free bridge. He said 1t was necessary to organize an improvement district for the purpose of building a free highway bridge for wagons ahd pedestrians. Under the proposed improvement district law the commits sioners-possibly five of them-wil, be empowered to enter into a contract with railroad or railroads for the leasing of a right of way over the structure. The assessments are to be made according to the benefits accr1- ing to the respective tracts of pand in the county. The bonds will be re tired, he said, with the taxes realized from the district.
 He sad it would be impossible, without first amending the constitn- tion, for the county to attempt U build the bridge. Under the new Arnoudnout No m r iQ thought that

 Among Them.
SALARY BILL IS A LAW

Many bills affecting Jefferson cou l. ty, were disposed of at Little Rock in the Legislature and in Governor Don- aghey's office on Tuesday. Governor Donaghey approved the biM of Sena- tor Toney, giving lard owners ;n the Cousart Drainage District the right to condemn right of way for drainage purposes. The governor also sign ed the Kerwin bill, validating the ac- ton of the county judge of Jefferson county in appropriating money for a special road. The Jefferson county salary bill also became law. when the governor attached his signature to the measure, fixing the salaries of the officers of Jefferson county.
 Senate Bill No. 397, authorizing the appropriation of certain sums by the county court of Jefferson county for the suppression of smallpox, was passed by the House, 1t having all ready gone through the Senate.

EFFECT OF "MOOa" DECISION
CLINTON SALOONS ARE THE
HARDEST HIT BY IT.
Judge DeGraff, OF the District Court,
Holds Saloons Cannot be Run
BY Partners.

Des Moines, Dec. 19.-Special
City treasures received a severe
blow by the supreme court decision
in the Moon law case yesterday, hold
ing that saloon licenses are not a
continuing right. By the decision
cities and towns are compelled to re-
duce the number of saloons to one
to every thousand population. The
following towns are involved:
Dubuque, from no to 50.
Sioux City, 80 to AZ.
Clinton, 140 to 43.
Council Bluffs, SO to 80.
Burlington, 70 to 25.
Fort Madison. 81 to 8.
Oskaioosa, II to 8.
Two Years Vet to Run.
Davenport, Dec. Especial: The
petition of consent to the operation of
Davenport saloons has nearly two
years to run. Attorneys for the IL
quor men declare the Moon law was
not made to apply to special charter
cities and hat as Davenport is a city
under special charter the law does
not apply here. If this contention is
not good, Davenport will have to put
about 80 salons out of business.
Loses $4,000 Taxes.
Burlington, Dec. l9.-Special: Yes
terday's decision of the Iowa supreme
court unfolding the Moon law will
put At of BurlingtOn's ~ saloons out
of business and cause the county and
city to lose $4,000 per annum in tax,
es and at least 100 people will be
thrown out of employment. Many
buildings will be made vacant and
three breweries will also suffer.
Saloon Partnership Tabooed.
Des Moines, Dec. 19.-Special ::
What Des Moines drvs failed to get
in the supreme court opinion yester.
day affecting the Moon law was won
in the preliminary steps this morn.
ing when Judge DeGraff, OF the dis
triCt court, handed down his opinion
in the partnership saloon injunction
suit of John B. Hammond, ex rel,
against fourteen partnership saloons,
enjoining the fourteen existing I'M
der the Moon law. The vets will ap-
peal to the supreme court and if they
lose there, Des Moines will have IA
saloons less. If this opinion of Judge
DeGraff is affirmed by the supreme
court it will put an end to all parner-
ship saloons in Iowa.
Only Two Open Today.
Sioux City, Dec. 19.-Special: Only
two saloons are in operation here to-
day, they being Fromelman and An
derson, and they did a land office
business, being wise enough to get
new permits six months ago. The
city hall was besieged with saloon
men anxious to secure permits this
afternoon and there are 200 appli
cants for the forty-five permits.

RAINSBARGERS NOT GUILTY
AN ELDoRA NEWSPAPER MAN
MAKES THE STATEMENT.
II May Lead to Reopenins the FAM
Gus case-Governor Carroll Has
tens to Fort Madison.

Des Moines, Dec. Especial: Gov.
for the state penitentiary, following
so closely upon the statement of Edi-
tor Kneedler, of the Hardin County
Ledger, that he knows positively that
neither Frank nor Nate Rainsbarger
had a hand in killing Enock Johnson.
mas led many state house people to
believe that this winter will see a
complete re-opening of the famous
case. Those who are familiar with
the charges and counter-charges. and
who have been associated with the
case in one way or another, declare
that such will be the case and that
sensations will be disclosed when this
re-opening comes.
No one in the executive offices
would vouchSafe any information as
to why the governor suddenly went
to Fort Madison. All members of the
board of parole are also out of the
city.
Editor Kneedler's statement, which
is causing the speculation, is printed
in his paper as follows:
The small lotteries who inspired
much that was done, and who, from
motives of self-preservation have kept
these men in the penitentiary all
these years, have taken alarm and
are today trembling lest exposure and
tall upon them.
What at first was a good deal of a
mystery Is readily eXplanable now.
Every thread of evidence has led di-
rectly to one center, and the whole
infamous plot is plain. We know
that neither Frank nor Nate Rains
barger had any hand in the killing Of
Enoch Johnson.
