EMBARRASSING THIEF
 STEALS BY WHOLESALE
Operated In Arkansas, Lived In Missouri And Sold Stock
 In Tennessee.

Forrest City, March 30.-John
 Stancel, alias John Tatum, a
 white man, charged with having
 run off and disposed of oyer 20
 head of horses and mules belong ing to Naylor & Johnson Compa- 1 ny, l.. J. Pugh, A. Bird, George
 Koenig, Martin Blount and oth-
 CTS living in this county near
 Lakeside, on the St. Francis riv-
 CT, about 10 miles south of here,
 was brought to the city Tuesday morning from Bloomfield, Mo, where he had been traced and captured. Stancel admits having run off the stock, and the grand jury, which is now in session, has indicted him on the charge.
 Stancel had made crop last year on the Robinson place in the same neighborhood from which the stock was stolen. Later on he worked in the saWmill owned by George Koenig, and it was this latter fact that indirectly led to his being suspected of the theft. It seems that Koenig owed Stan eel $1O for wages when Stancel left, and that couple of weeks ago he wrote from Bloomfield, asking that a check for the amount be sent to his wife at tha city.
 About the same time MT. Roe mig missed fine horse and sad dle. He was informed by an old negro woman that she had put Stancel across the river and that he had told her he intended spending the night at Koenig s. As he had not done so, MT. Koe- nig- became suspicious and left for Bloomfield, where he found that the check had been cashed. Upon inquiry at the bank, he found Stancel had been hand ling considerable money in checks and exchange from Col lieryille and Germantown, Tenn. Upon going to those places he located several head of the sto- lien stock. He at once wired to Bloomfield and had Stancel ar rested, and went there last Satur- day night and brought the prls- oner to this city, arriving Tues day morning. Deputy Sheriff Johnson went over to the Tennes- see towns Monday and began proceedings to secure the stock, in which he was successful, about l19 head being. recovered
 The parties who had bought the stock were much surprised and were indignant at being told
 that they had purchased stolen
 property, saying that they had known Stancel for years, and that 1 he had been selling and trading
 horses and mules with them dur
 ing all the time they had known
 him.

Would Prohibit Water Meters.
 Little Rock, March 3O.- -Sena- tor Holland today introduced a bill in the senate this morning providing that water companies in this state shall not place water meters on the premises of consum CTS, without the permission of the consumer, and no matter what rights may be given by wa ter companies by city councils heretofore, the law will be such as will absolutely prohibit the compulsory installation of meters.
 This bill IS very important To- cally, in view of the fact that the Arkansas Water Company is now asking from the city council of Little Rock the right to install meters in this city. The bill re- ferred to the committee on cities and towns.

CONVICT LEASE
 POLITICAL ISSUE
Donaghey And Norwood May Make Raca For Governor On
 Cayl.ss..ion At Stake.

Special to independent
 Little Rock, March 31.-The snnreme issue before the Arkanr aas legislature today, aside from the question of where the money is coming from to pay their per diem is, What shall be done with the state convicts' It has assumed the appearance of po- litical question as between the friends of Gov. Donaghey, whose political intentions are as yet un- known, and Attorney General Norwood, who is an avowed can- didate for governor. They diff fered on the Board as to the dis position of the convicts. Gov. Donaghey sent the legislature a special message on the subject and Thursday afternoon Gener- al Norwood, by invitation, deliv- cred an address before the joint assembly.
 The whole day, almost, was de- voted to the question in both houses. The senate indefinitely postponed all resolutions seeking to instruct the board, and bill was then introduced by Senator Miles providing that such con- victs as are not needed on the state farm be worked on county roads. Senator Toney's Pine Bluff-Little Rock highway bill provides for the use of 100 con- victs and Representative Ragon's bill for a highway from Fort Smith to Little Rock also provide for the use of conyicts. Senator Uoyington has given notice that he will introduce a bill for the re- organization of the Penitentiary board, making it consist of one member from each Congressional District, to be elected by the sen- ate, which will take 1t out of the hands of state officials.
 While the various resolutions, amendments, and substitutes were being considered in the house, Gen. Norwood appeared, was in troduced by MT. Going and pro- eeeded at once to a discussion of the question. He praised the work of the Tax Commission, And took a few shots at local leg islation, saying that it is some times better than general laws with questionable operation.
 He eaid there is sentiment in the state against the lease system, and made distinction between this and the contract system, un- der which he said the state had T Naid, with the aid of two good crops, a debt of $98,O00, also $51 1000 on the farm. Had paid tor the maintenance of the con victs,and had done a vast amount of work for the Capitol Commis- sion for which it had been given TO credit. Since Jan. l last the Board had not gotten dollar ex- cert that derived from the con tracts which expired last week, and now the Board has 200 men
 on its hands without employment.
 We must renew this contract, sad he, Tor some other provis-
 ion must be made for these men.
