COMPLICATIONS
 MAY ARISE
IF FUTRELL WINS CONTEST
BECAUSE OF PARDONS ISSUED BY OLDHAM SINCE LEGIS-
 LATURE ADJOURNED.

Little Rock, March 21.-Complica- tions are liable to arise over the ac- tions of W. K. Oldham, who is hold ing forth over the north wing of the state capitol as governor, should the supreme court Monday decide that J Marion Futrell, president pro tenn of the senate, and governor of the south wing, is entitled to hold the office of acting governor.
 When an agreement was reached between the two claimants for the of flee, 1t was stipulated that neither should undertake to sign bills passed by the legislature or attend to any matters of importance. Acting Gov ernor Oldham has issued one or more pardons every day, besides commut- ing some sentences. Should the su- preme court decide against MT. Old ham none of the pardons he has sign ed since the adjournment of the leg islature are legal, and should his suc- cessor feel inclined to do so, he can order the persons pardoned reincar- cerated.
 President Pro Tenn Futrell has de- clined to sign any sort of a paper as governor or acting governor, and when pressed by members of the Ar kansas National Guard Thursday to sign an agreement regarding funds for the guard, he declined to do so in any way but as president pro tenn of the senate.
 Acting Governor Oldham went to Pine Bluff Thursday night to look af ter some drainage matters in that vii cinity in which he is interested, but returned to Little Rock this morning.

P[RRYV|LLE MAY
 NOT LOSE FIGHT
IN HOLDING COUNTY SEAT
GENERAL ASSISTS TWO COMMUNITIES OUT
 OF DILEMA.

Little Rock, March 21.-Two unoffi- ,cial opinions were rendered by Attor- ney General w. l.. Moose Thursday afternoon, which will assist two com- munities out of dilema. The coun- cil of Murfreesboro desired to en- ploy an attorney to represent it. Mur- freesboro is not city of the first or second class, and cannot elect an at torney, and to further complicate the matter, the attorney desired lives just outside the corporate limits of the town Judge Moose informed the members of the council they may elect an attorney to represent it, no matter where he lives.
 Perryvilie gets another whack at the county seat of Perry county through the second decision of the at torney general. At the recent cleo tion held in Perry county the question was, whether or not the county seat was to be moved from Perryville, the 'citizens of the county voting for the town which was to become the county seat at the same time, in case the ma jority voted for removal. The major 'ity was in favor of moving the county seat, but Bigelow, Casa and Perry, the other towns, voted for, finished in the order named, and none received majority. It was then decided that the county court shall call another election to run off the question. Citi- zens of Casa then appealed to the at torney general to see if the run off was to be between Bigelow and Casa, with Perry dropped on account of re- ceiving the lowest number of votes. The attorney general holds that neth- CT Casa nor Perry is entitled to con- tend for the honors, and that Bigelow and Perryville are the two which will contest in the special election.

SILVER DOLLAR
 TREPH|NES HOLE
IN A PATIENTS CRANIUM
WILL RECOVER FROM SERIOUS WOUND WITHOUT LOSS OF
 MENTAL FACULTIES.

Omaha, Ark, March 21.-John Crickmore of this place is one man in the state who will never be totally broke. He will always have at least one dollar on his person. Unfortu- nately for John, however, this dollar will never be available as a cash as- set or as medium of exchange, for 1t lies, not in his pocket where he can conveniently put his kand on it, but in the front part of his head, under the scalp, and covers a jagged hole in his skull over two inches long and an inch wide.
 Crickmore is just recovering from this very dangerous wound, which he received in fight some days ago, and which nearly ended his life. The fight was one of the bloodiest ever known in this section, the weapons being knives and rocks. When the smoke of the battle cleared away he was down with a crushed skull from a rock thrown by Alvin Roberts. John Rarleycorn was responsible for the trouble.
 Dr. w. A. Butts of Omaha, surgeon and local physician at this point, was called to attend the wounded man. His condition was serious and he was in practically dying condition. The projectal and frontal bones of the skull were crushed in against the brain. The physician made an incis- ion in the scalp and removed the bone.
 He had to have something to cover the opening with to protect the brain. The patient was in too critical con dition to be removed to city hos pital, and there was no time to order a silver plate. The doctor did the next best thing, he made one. He took a silver dollar and heavy hammer
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-03-21

and beat 1t out on piece of iron to lit the hole. He placed this home made plate in place and sewed up the scalp, leaving proper drainage, and
 nature is doing the rest. In an inter view with Dr. Butts yesterday he says his patient is recovering nicely and that his mind is not impaired by the unusual accident or the operation.

STATE MILITIA
 MAY NOT D|SBAND OFFICERS IN MEETING GUARD WILL PROBABLY BE MAINTAINED BY POPULAR
 SUBSCRIPTION.

Little Rock, March 21.-In all prob ability Little Rock will get the 1913 encampment of the Arkansas Nation al Guard through the acceptance of the offer by the commercial bodies of the city. The officers of the guard looking about for way to maintain the organization, suggested to the city of Little Rock that if it would donate FS3, 300 toward the yearly expenses for 1913, the encampment would be given the city. The Arkansas National Guard Association, which met in Lit tie Rock Thursday afternoon and night, ratified the agreement, and the commercial bodies did the same Thursday night
 Thirty-fve officers of the guard met in Little Rock and discussed the oues- tion of maintaining the organization, in two very enthusiastic sessions. The captains of the companies were re- quested to keep their men together and to provide armory rent for the coming two years. Those present agreed to this, and it is thought the others will do so. All field and staff officers offered to contribute to the cause the difference between the sal ary drawn when attending manoue- vers for an officer of their rank, and that of the next rank below.
 A resolution was adopted, asking the people of the state to assist in maintaining the guard, and Acting Governor Oldham and President Pro Tenn Futrell each signed copies of it. The resolution speaks of the need the state has for guard, and the ser- vices it has rendered in the past. The resolution further specifies no finan- cial obligation is created for the state through contributions made by citi- Zens.
 Helena made an offer of $3,50O for the encampment, and doubtless other towns would have done so had they been asked to bid upon it, but Little Rock was favored this year and the other cities will have the right to compete for the 1914 encampment.

DUGGAR-GIBBONS.

Thinking to surprise the many friends of both, quiet wedding was planned hastily for Monday afternoon at o'clock, instead of Wednesday. as announced, and Miss Mettie Duggar became the bride of Ira Gibbons. On- ly the family and Misses Hazel Brad ley and Marion Davis were present at the home of A. H. Duggar, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. J. F. Johnston of the Baptist church. The bride wore a most becoming travelling suit of blue, while the groom wore black. After the ceremony the young couple left on the 5:30 train for a visit in Memphis and Blytheville, af- ter which they will be at home in Con- way.
 Mrs. Gibbons, eldest child of A. H. Duggar and wife, was born in Mor- rilton and has grown to young wom- anhood here. She is a charming young woman with splendid attainments, is prominent in the work of her church and has many friends won by her sweetness of character and her good ness. She will make her husband an excellent companion, and nowhere does anyone wish for her more happi- ness than do her friends of the Head light. The groom is a young tele- graph operator, whose parents are ex- cellent people of Conway, and during his stay here some months ago, made many friends among old and young alike. He is at present employed at Conway, where they will make their home. May all happiness be theirs.-- Morrilton Headlight.
