DRAINED IN MOTHERS ARMS.
Ambushers, Who Shot Malt Hughes
to Death, Crush Child's Head.

Mineral Bluff, Ca, Sept. 16.-
While his wife, with their child In
her arms, heroically sought to drag
her husband from out of the range of
ambushers' bullets, Malt Hughes, q
we'll known citizen of Rock Creek
district, was shot to death, as he lay
outside of his homes door, by parties
unknown, to the officers, according
to information received here.
Not content with the assassination
of Hughes, the ambushers crushed in
the head of his child with guns, when
they struck at Mrs. Hughes, who was
battling for her husbands life. The
child is not expected to live.
The ambushers made their escape,
after threatening death of Mrs.
Hughes if she made any report of her
husbands death. The woman, who
is prostrated by the tragedy, claims
to have recognized members of the
party, but is afraid to give any in
formation.
Sheriff Jenkins and a large posse
have been at the Hughes home since
the killing and are endeavoring to
capture the ambushers.
The only reason that can be as
signed for the killing of Hughes is
that he was believed to have been
responsible for activities of revenue
officers who recently confiscated a
number of illicit stills in this Sec
ton.
An attempt was made Sunday night
week ago to kill Hughes, but only
a part of load of shot struck him
in the hips. The second attack re-
suited in his death. He was called to
the door of his home at night, and a
shot entered his neck under the chin.
Hughes fell outside the doorway, and
attempted to crawl back into the
house. Mrs. Hughes, with her baby
in her arms, rushed to Hughes's side
and was trying to carry him back in
to the house. One of the party struck
at Mrs. Hughes with his rifle, but the
blow landed on the baby's head,
crushing the skull.
Three men then dragged Hughes
into the yard, where two more vol
leys were fired into his body.
Two men are reported to have been
arrested Monday for Hughes's death,
while it is said warrants have been
issued for five or six others.

What He Discovered.

In the daily half-hour confidential
talk with his boy an ambitious Lon
don father tried to give some advice.
"Be observing, my son. said'the
father on one occasion. "Cultivate
the habit OF seeing, and you will be
successful man. Study things and
remember them. Don't go through
the world blindly. Learn to use your
eyes. Boys who are observant know
great deal more than those who are
not"
Willie listened in silence.
Several days later, when the entire
family, consisting of his mother,
aunt, and uncle, were present, mis-
father said:
well, Willie, have you kept using
your eyes as advised you to do?''
Willie nodded, and after a mo-
ment's hesitation, said:
Il have seen a few things about
the house. Uncle Jim's got bottle
of hair dye hid under his bed, Aunt
Jennies got IN extra set of teeth in
her dresser, mas got some curls in
her hat and pas got a pack of cards
and a box of dice behind the book
case"-London Tit-Bits.

Will NOT CERTIFY
NEW BANKING LAW
PETITIONS HELD INVALID
GENERAL RULES
BILL DOES NOT COMPLY
WITH |. AND r.

Little Rock, May 15.-More COM
plications under the initiative and
referendum. Attorney General Nor
wood holds that the state banking bill
initiated by Representative R. S.
Warnock of Drew does not comply
with the law, because the full text of
the act is not attached to each petit
tion. Mr.. Warnock has been advised
that it cannot be certified out unless
he makes an indemnifying bond to
cover the cost of publication about
$4,000.
General Norwood writes: Section
l of amendment No. 10, provides that
every initiative petition shall include
the full text of the measure propos-
ed. | understand that copy of the
full text of the measure was filed in
your office at the time the petition
was filed, but it is my opinion that
this is not even d substantial compli-
ance with the constitution. There is
no record proof that the people who
signed the petitions had an opportun-
ity to read the full measure or that
of the measure. | have no doubt but
that the petitioners did have an op-
portunity to read the measure, but
we can not afford to indulge any sup
positions, since the constitutional
amendment positively requires the
petitions to include the full text of
the measure"
He further suggests that if the
question cannot be first decided in the
courts, those interested be required to
indemnify the state for the cost of
publication in the event the courts
Should declare it invalid.
