Little Rock.-A freefor-all fight be-
tween the leaders of the Taft and
Roosevelt forces, in the course OF
which A. c. Kennel, chairman of the
Pulaski County Republican Central
Committee, received severe scalp
wound and several others OF the COM
batants were badly bruised. preceded
the holding of two Republican county
conventions in this city. With dozen
policemen, deputy sheriffs and deputy
constables on guard, after the battle
had subsidized, both factions held con,
ventions and elected delegates to the
state convention, to be held here on
May 7. The action taken is believed
to make it practically certain that two
state conventions will be held by the
Republicans, and that two separate
state organizations will be created. In
this way the local fight will be carried
before the national convention in Chi
cago
The spectacular battle which pre-
coded the convention lasted only
few minutes, but it ragged fiercely while
it was in progress. 1t was precipitat-
ed when the Roosevelt forces, headed
by w. S. Holt, Col. A. S. Fowler, j. A
Conner and c. Phil Waters, stormed the
Turnverein Hall, where the county
convention was to be held, and bat
tered their way through the doors
But for the presence of two deputy
constables at the doors, the fight
would probably have assumed larger
proportions, and involved more of the
members of the two factions.

WANT PAY FOR SAND
State Brings Suit to Collect From Con-

Fort Smith.-The first step taken
by the state of Arkansas to make the
sandbars a source of revenue was
taken when Prosecuting Attorney Lit
tie filed suit against j. NJ. McMurray,
administrator of the estate of George
Kahmann, of the firm of Kahmann &
McMurray and the firm of ]. W. Nc
Murray, all of Kansas City. Mo-, in
the chancery court The petition al
leges that defendants who had the
contract for the substructure of the
free bridge and are well-known rail-
road contractors, have taken from
the bed of the Arkansas river $4,000
cubic yards OF sand, the property of
the state of Arkansas and of the value
OF S25, 900. Judgment for that sum Is
asked, and as the defendants are nom
residents but are said to have much
property and large sums of money due
them, receiver is asked for the CON-
panies.
The ownership of the sand and
gravel and all other minerals in the
bed or under the beG of rivers was
brought to light by controversy over
oil leases covering the beds OF rivers
In Oklahoma. That those belonged to
tn state was the concensus of the at
torney genral of the United States and
the attorney general of Oklahoma.
