Night and Day Bank Closed.

Little Rock, Sept. 27.-The doors of the Night and Day Bank of Little Rock were closed Tuesday afternoon, when or petition of D. A. F'rayser, re- ceiver of the All Day and Night bank of Memphis, the local in stitution was placed in the hands of w. M. Lewis as receiv- CT. To banking circles, the fail ure of this bank was no sur prise, as 1t had been expected for several days, though local institutions were making an ef- fort to prevent it.
 According to the petition of Receiver Frayser of the Mem phis institution, the local bank is indebted to the Memphis con- cern to the extent of S3100. Re- ceiver Frayser claims the local bank claimed to hold certificates of deposit to the amount of $2225, but these were fraudu- lently issued to Robert H. Tim mons, and he alleges they came into the hands of the local with out right. According to the complaint, the president of the local bank, H. c. Wynne is a di- rector of the Memphis bank, and that he knew the certifi- cates of deposits were fraudu- lently issued, and that he paid nothing for them.

Oil On Troubled Waters.

What promised to be a deli cate and embarrassing issue be fore the council in a request for the extension of the city fire limits to include a half block on Hazel street between Second and Third streets was amicably and satisfactorily settled Tuesday, when oil was poured upon the troubled waters by Alderman Wishon, who has assumed the role of a Henry Clay.
 By agreement the Stayton es- tate give up their project of a large boarding house on that property to be constructed by combining two of the present frame buildings in that block and the request for an extension of the fire limits is dropped by other property owners of that section of the city.
 This compromise having been effected no further meeting of the council was necessary.

10 IMMORTALIzE
 THE GOVERNOR
Capitol Visitor Has Plan To Kill Army Worms And Other
 Pests.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 27.-A wild eyed individual giving his name as Wolf and his residence as the United States called at the cap- itol yesterday to see the govern or in order to present a great project for the killing of the army worms and all the pests that infest cotton. But the gov- ernor was at Hope telling the good people about the Turner Jacobson bill, and he was re ferred to Deputy Agricultural Commissioner Hutchins, 10 whom he unfolded a project as tremendous and far-reaching as mind ever conceived.
 Easing his deductions upon what he claimed to be the pecu- liar habits of the destructive in sects, he said that the only way to combat the evil is to clean out all the fence corners, and then leave around the fields a strip of implanted land ten feet across. This is to be covered half an inch with coal tar, so that when the weevils and the worms att tempted to cross to the cotton, they would get their feet stuck in the tar and starve to death before they could be rescued. In this way the cotton would be saved.
 It would cost a great deal of money to buy the coal tar, but he suggested that the governor should call an extra session of the Legislature to provide for lit, and that his political future would then be secure. He saio his fame would resound from the everglades of Florida to the piney hills of Maine, and he could have any office for the ask ing, even to the presidency.

ARGUMENT ON l,,s'' bs
 IN HiDRICk CASE
Defendant Took Stand And Told His Story Of Shoot
 ing of Lee Mercing.

afternoon, both sides rested III the presentation of testimony in the trial of Isom Hydrick charged with the murder of Lee Mercing upon July p, 1911, and the instructions of the court were read to the jury.
 Both the states attorneys w. F. Smith and Claude M. Erwin will address the jury and Judge M. M. Stuckey and c. L. Grant will plead for the defendant. The case is expected to reach the jury late this afternoon or at an evening session of court.
 The defendant went upon the stand in his own behalf to tell the story of the shooting and the incidents leading to same. He testified that Mercing had butted into him on Walnut street and on the evening of the tragedy had cursed him as they passed upon the crossing from Barker's to Parish's store, that Mercing had come to his store three times before the. shooting and he had asked him Mercing to stay out.
 The defendant said that ota- CTS had told him of Mercing's threats against his life and that he had armed himself in self defense, that Mercing when shot had advanced two steps inside the door and had drawn a re- volver.
 While Hydrick was very ner- vous and gave very poor narra- tive of the incidents leading up to the shooting, which had to be drawn out of him by Judge Stuckey, there was nothing ma- terial upon which he contradict ed himself or weakened. He certainly made a very weak wit ness and hardly a favorable i'm pression upon the jury, due largely to the way in which he answered under cross examina- tion and his failure to grasp cas- fly the interrogations of his own counsel.
 The testimony of the state was much the same as before the coroner's inquest. Several negroes were introduced to dis credit the story of Hydrick, to show that Mercing had not en- tered the Hydrick store when shot, but was passing on the walk in front of same, also to discredit the pistol found upon Miller's porch as being the prop erty of Mercing.
 The defense put on two inn portant witnesses in 5. U. Churchwell, farmer living on the Brandenburg place and Roy Seward, each of whom testified that he saw Mercing draw re- volver as he entered the Hy- drick store. Churchwell was just coming into town on a mule and the animal becoming frightened at the shooting, he turned around and went home.
 Seward teStlf1ed that ne nad an appointment to meet Mere ing, that the latter was to se- cure him some whiskey. Wit ness said that he saw a man up- on a mule come across the bridge just before the shooting. He had just tied his own horse back of the livery stable and came into the street between Miller's and the two story house as Mercing entered Hydrick's and drew a revolver.
 Albert Churchwell, a witness for the state, who was beyond
