the election be called for May Is, and the call for the election must be advertised 30 days, hence the that the petitions will be presented and acted upon within the next few days.
 The petitions have been numer- ously signed, in the city and the country alike, and it is under stood that the men behind the movement feel assured that the antis will cast the majority of the votes. The prohis are not being caught without fight, however, and as a matter of fact those op- posed to the returnOf the saloon announce that their forces are thoroughly organized and that they are stronger now in Bowie county than they were when the county was voted dry two years or more ago.

 That a campaign button or badge be adopted, also an official seal for the use of the League.
 The one Sunday in the near future be set apart as a state wide day to be observed in all the churches.

WANT TO VOTE ON
 SALOON MATTER AGAIN

Texarkana, April II. - An. nouncement was made this after noon that the county commiS- sioner'S court now in session at New Boston had not been asked today to call an election to allow the voters to decide whether Bowie County and TeXarkana shall again license saloons, after a drouth extending over two years, but that the petition will be presented within the next few days, asking that the cleo ton be called for Thursday. May Is.
 The change in the plans is said to have been caused by the dis covery that a number of technl- calities had been overlooked by the men at the head of the move ment, the most important of these being the fact the two year period since saloons were ostracised not yet having eXpir- ed.

II. (. WINNIE IS IN
 LITTLE ROCK JAIL

Little Rock, April 12.-H. C. Wynne, president of the defunct Night and Day Bank, is in the Little Rock jail. This is his first appearance in Little Rock since he decamped last October, on the day of the bank $ collaspe. For several months he has been living in Checotah, Okla, with his wife and two children and mOtber-in-law. When the Che. cOtah officials got an idea that there was a reward of $500 for his arrest, they arrested him, and when they found that the reward was only $100 the chief of police tried to prevent Deputy Sheriff Hawkins from taking him away.
 Wynne resisted extradition, and sent a Muskog ee lawyer to Little Rock to attempt to make compromise on a small bond, but the local officials would not consider anything less than the 1000 originally fixed, and Pros ecuting Attorney Rogers started west to assist in securing the fugitive. In the meantime, the Little Rock deputy who had been camping in Checotah for a week watching his man, threatened to seek the aid of United States District Attorney Gregg for an order of removal on a federal indictment returned in Little Rock, charging Wynne with us ing the mails to defraud. Then Wynne agreed to come back, and they met Mr. Rogers in Me- Alester.
 Arrived in Little Rock at noon, Wynne offered to make bond in a M emphis surety company, but Sheriff Beller refused to accept a surety bond and Wynne was taken to jail. There are indict- ments against him on four felony charges and one misdemeanor in connection with the wrecking of the bank, and there are also fed1 eral indictments against him in Little Rock, Memphis and St. Louis on charges of using the mails to defraud. It is reported here that he is under S5,000 bond. in federal court at Memphis returnable May 1.
