This year during an unbroken period Of
four months the weather was as bad as
it could have been, and when clear skies
came early in May shorts soon felt sc
good over the contrast that they encour-
aged themselves to believe a monster croI

influence, others sold contracts, thereby
adding to the existing short interest
which, at the beginning of May, was
large enough for all practical purposes

the short consoled himself with the hope
that the crop would improve rapidly

NO LOCAL LAW AGAINST
 WRESTLING MATCHES
MAYOR JORDAN WILL NOT INTER- FIBRE IF THE LAW IS NOT
 VIOLATED.
Bout Advertised For July 4tli Will in All Probability Take Place,
 But Sports Are Anxious.

Local sport lovers Who are looking forward to the wrestling match scheduled to place place at 4:30 O. clock at the Elks Theater on the afternoon of the nations birthday, in which Prof. Harry Russell, of this city, and J. T. Johnson, of New Or leans, will be the principals, were stirred yesterday when it was rumor- ed that the police would interfere All the preliminary arrangements have been made, the contract signed and the theater obtained for the event but the rumor put a quietus on any furth- CT preliminaries.
 When asked about official interfer- ence Mayor A. c. Jordan stated he had not heard of the proposed match and added that he would investigate it. He further stated, however, that if it was in violation of any city ordinance the chief of police would be given orders not to allow it to be pulled off.
 District Attorney T. Havis Nixon said that the Arkansas statute did not

ill Lincoln county the next term of court, on change of venue.
 After McNay's conviction the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. One of the contentious of his counsel is that the court, Judge A. B. Grace, erred when he left the court room and the bench while witnesses were testi- flying. Judge Grace claimed in a pub lisned statement that he left the court room for only a short time and that he did not do so until after he had got ten the consent of counsel for the de- fendant Judge E. J. Kerwin was left on the bench during his absence.
 Just what the Supreme Court will do in the case is matter of conjec- ture. That body has been in the past very strict in demanding that jurists remain on the bench during the hear ing of cases and has reversed cases on this ground, but this is the first time that a case of this kind, where the attorney for the defendant agreed to the jurist absence has come up for consideration. Some predict that the Supreme Court will not reverse the case because of Judge Grace's ac- ton, but that it will comment at length on the actions of the court

"Person- ally, am not opposed to clean ath- letics and field sports, said the Dis trlct Attorney, and feel more like encouraging than discouraging them, , He said the law vested cities with power to regulate or prevent matches of this kind but did not know whether there was a city ordinance against it here or not.
