TREASURER'S BOOKS
IN GOOD CONDITION

That the work of r. K. Wilkerson,
who this week resigned his position as
county treasurer, was performed in a
very creditable manner, and that he
has made the county a faithful ser
want, is evidenced by the fact that the
county officers today issued the follow
ing signed statement:
ITO Whom it May Concern:
We, the undersigned county officers,
take great pleasure in stating that we
have been intimately acquainted with
the retiring county treasurer, R. K.
Wilkerson, and that he has performed
his duties in a very creditable man.
fner, and we think we are safe in say
ing that he has made the best county
treasurer that Faulkner county has
had. I'VE are grieved very much and
regret that the illness of Mr. Wilker-
son has forced him to resign his du-
ties. We sympathise with him and his
family in this their hour of sickness
and distress.

walked through the rocky pastures

in quest OF a two weeks supply Of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed. "Why, you can't BIO back
that way alone! Our bulls out there
in the back lot, and only day fore
yist'day he freed my son-in-law on a

With soc,e misgivings on the part

had gone about a quarter OF a mile.

TREAS. W|LKfRSON
RESIGNS POSITION
ILL HEALTH THE CAUSE
RETIRING OFFICER RECON-
MENDS APPOINTMENT OF
DEPUTY J. H. BAILEY.

On account of ill health and the
hope that relief from any worry con-
>nected with the position would aid in
his recovery, Il. X. Wilkerson today
forwarded to Governor ]. M. Futrell
his resignation from the office of
treasurer OF Faulkner county, effec-
tive Immediately.
The retiring officer recommends the
appointment of j. H. Bailey as his
successor. Mr.. Bailey, who was for
merly county clerk, has teen serving
as deputy treasurer during Mr.. Wilk-
erson's illness for the past several
weeks.
, The resignation, together with petit
tions and recommendations for Mr.
Bailey's appointment, were taken by
him to Little Rock at noon today and
will be presented to the governor this
afternoon. So far as can be learned,
there are no other applicants for the
appointment.
Mr.. Wilkerson was one of the most
popular officials ever elected in the
county, and the fact that his illness
is considered so serious as to necessi-
tate his retirement will be learned
with genuine regret throughout the
county. He was elected in September
1910, and reelected for second term
in 1912, his present term expiring in
November, 1914.
There is a possibility that special
election will be called to fill the va
cancy, but this question will be at the
discretion of Governor rutrell or
Governor-elect Hays, and it is not
thought that q special election will be
ordered.

CLOSED TODAY

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL RE-

LARITIES CHARGED.

After sentencing Robert Threet, the
negro ex-convict convicted yesterday
for criminally assaulting Gertie Hol.
lingshead, a 14-year-old white girl, to
hang and setting the date of his exc
cution at October 6, Judge Eugene
Landlord brought the July term OF
Faulkner circuit court to close to-
day. Threet was brought before the
court who pronounced sentence upon
him. The negro showed little emotion
as the court slowly read the sentence
but steadfastly denied being guilty OF
the crime which will send him to the
gallOws. He was returned to the
county Jail, heavily shackled and
hand-cuffed, guarded by three deputy
sheriffs.
Attorneys for Threet filed motion
for new trial which was refused by
the court. The defendant was allowed
80 days in which to file his bill of ex-
ceptions with the supreme court, after
which an appeal will probably be
granted. The bill charges several ir-
Irregularities in the trial.
Button" Wiley, who was indicted
for carnal abuse, pleaded guilty last
night and was sentenced to 10 years
in the penitentiary. Wiley's trial COM
pleted the white slave cases which
have been docketed in the Faulkner
circuit court, total of 10 being tried
and convicted. The punishment of
the 10 cases equals 1872 years service
in the penitentiary and the hanging of
one of the criminals.
Judge Landlord was called to De
