y
one years old and a man of fam
lily; Jesse Vannoy, farmer, un-
married, twenty-six years old.
Mrs. Zee Runge McRee is on
trial for the killing of Allen Car
land son ofsthe late Charles T.
Garland, and nephew of District
Attorney Garland.
The case was called up Mon
day. The selection of the jury
was spirited, and developed sew
eral mild sensations. The trial,
however, has been marked by a
friendly spirit between the at
torneys.
The most interesting procedure
Of the trial happened Wednes-
day, when Mr.. e. B. Dubuisson,
acting district attorney, came
into court and asked for a recess
Of a few hours, ayerring that the
State had come in possession of
q rumor which it desired to con-
firm. No inkling as to what the
move meant was given. It was
said that p er h a ps it was
prompted by the fact that the
State wanted to open its case
dramatically by the introduction
OF the skull of the dead boy Gar
land, which it was said had been
exhumed and removed from the
body.
The Judge granted the recess,
and at six o'clock the attorneys
for the State came into court,
alter long consultation, and an
nounced that one of the jurors,
Mr.; Henry Bourdier, of Eunice,
had stated to Mr.. Louis White
and Mr. Felix Chachere, on Mon
day, before he was examined as
juror, that if he was taken on
the jury he would convict the
accused. Il want impartial
justice in this case, and I do this
% warn the defense that a juror
who had expressed a formed
opinion to convict the accused,
nad been selected" " said Mr.. Du-
buisson.
Mr.. Dubuisson therefore made
motion to quash the entire
panel.
The defense asked until We'd
nlesday morning to consider the
developments, so S u d d e n | y
brought into the case. The re
spite was granted, and Wednes-
gay at the morning session the
defense virtually refused to take
any part IN the proceedings of
lhe motion to quash the jury.
Judge Pavy was inclined to
sustain the motion of the State
70 quash, and so stated from the
bench; II the defense had con-
Sented to it, it would have been
nt1one, and he asked, on assuming
sne .i9G,, bench Wednesday, morning, /
What has the defense to say I
concerning this motion to quash I
tne Venire because a juror has
s expressed + himself inimical to the
defense?"
we have nothing to say,
persisted the, defense.
I, Mr.. Dubuisson,. who had made
ene motion. then said that if the
Juror suited the defense. he
suited the State, whereupon
qnudge y Pavy ruled that if Juror
oourdler was agreeable to every

Being Tried for Mauslanghter.

Mrs. McRee is on trial foE.
mansIaughter, and not murder,
acting District Attorney Dubuis-
son having had a motion to make
the change sustained by the
court. The defense made the
point that the abandonment of
the charge of murder carried with
it the abandonment of the minor
charge of manslaughter, but the
court ruled otherwise.
Under the minor charge, nine
jurors can bring in a verdict of
guilty. Under the murder charge,
it takes a unanimous verdict OF
the twelve jurors to convict.
On Mrs. McRee's first trial.
the jury stood nine for convic-
tion and three for acquittal.

They arrived there shortly be- fore six o'clock and after closing the polls at that hour they escorted the judges out from a crowd of negroes and brought them, with the ballot box, to Pine Bluff The work vas done wi hout any trouble, for when it was stated that the officers were on their way, the negroes who had cre- aed the trouble disappeared. In two autos the Sheriff and his deputies and the judges arrived in Pine Bluff at 7:3O They will count the vote here. It is stated that several drunken ne- grOes threatered to take charge of the ballot box and fearing that they would make good their threat, the judges called for the officers. The machines were driven to and from Moscow by Garret Howsen and Char les Bono. The judges in that town ship were J. T. Wynne and c. w. Butts, white, and Forest Gray, a negro.
 J. R. Richmond and w. l.. Clem- mons, the two clerks, also accom- | panied the officers and the judges to Pine Bluff, as well as Marel Franklin who summoned the Sheriff and lis deputies to the scene. Mr. Franklin says the negroes who had threatened to take the ballot boxes from the judges and clerks were determined, but when they learned that the few white men were there were to be joined by Sheriff Brewster and his men they changed their minds and "ducked." The judges say they could have handled the situation, but for fear that if trouble resulted the vote would not be counted and the

. Summer Heat Dangerous to Lit. the Ones if Bowels Are Neglected.

The mother cannot do better for her children than to train them, from infancy, to regularity of the bowels. Chronic constipation in later life can be avoided if the child learns early the need for daily evacuation of the poisonous stomach waste.
 There will of course. be times when the little one will become con stipated and bilious. In hot weather, especially, immediate attention is ne cessary, as much serious illness re- suits from inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics, pnrgatives, and similar drastic irritants are hars hand vio- lent and only bring temporary relief while disturbing the whole system. A gentle, pleasant bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable. Syrup Pepsin contains no narcotic drug, being composed of sim pie laxative herbs combined with pep sin, and acts gently. in natural biduHtl, LII otoIIldCIi, DONt dIiu IlNel. By thoroughly cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter that irritates and flames the tissue it will quickly check the summer diarrhoea that is so weakening in it's effect.
 Druggists sell pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn for fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the larger size being intend ed for family use. A free trial bottle, postpaid, can be obtained by writing to Dr. w. E. Caldwell 406 Washing ton St., Monticello, Illinois.

 There was no trouble or disorder of any kind at the voting places in the city. The special deputies sworn in by Sheriff Brewster and the city police officers had the situation we'll in hand and although the polling places in the various city wards were thronged with whites and negroes throughout the day no confusion re- suited. At Moscow in, Richland town ship slight disturbance took place when the polls were closed, but it was quickly quelled and the ballot from the Sheriff's office and brought to this city in an automobile. |I Both the prohibtionists and the antis were we'll organized and repre- sented al the polls. Both sides had workers in each ward. The anti-pro- hibition men gave careful instructions to thew supporters as to how the ballot should be marked, and the statewide people in several of the wards kept record of those wnoi voted to prevent any one from voting in the wrong ward and in order to have list to be used in case of con- test.
 When the polls were closed last night it was estimated that 2,53O votes had been cast in the four wards in the city of Pine Bluff and Vaugine township, which takes in part of the city. This total was derived from the following figures: First ward 542
 Second ward 40, Third ward 684 Fourth ward 336 and Vaugine town ship 52S.
