ALLEGED SHOOTER
 GRANTED PARDON DOUBT AS TO HIS GUILT
MEXICAN IS RELEASED FROM PENITENTIARY BY GOV
 ERNOR HAYS.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-On echo of the Jack the-S Shooter reign of terror was heard Thursday afternoon when Governor Hays granted pardon to David C. Briones, who was convicted in Little Rock July II, 1912, of bur glary and assault to kill and sentenc- ed to 21 years in the penitentiary.
 The pardon was recommended by the penitentiary commission, by Miss Mary A. Nolen, whose room he is al- legged to have entered, and who de- clares now that she believes her iden- tification of him was a case of mis- taken identity; by Rev. L. T omme, chaplain of the penitentiary, who says that he considers him thorough Iy innocent; by Robert L. Rogers prosecuting attorney, who now con- siders that there is grave doubt of his guilt; and strangest of all, by peti- tion signed by 135 other convicts who have been in prison with him, and
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-11-20

who are convinced that his imprison-. ment is case of justice gone wrong.
 It was during the summer of 1912 that the series of crimes were cOm- mitted which aroused the city to a high pitch of excitement, and which eliminated in the killing of a negro named Brown who seems to have been guilty of all the burglaries, assaults and holdups that were committed during that time.
 But numerous other arrests were made, and among them David C. Bri-- ones, a Mexican, said to have been an officer in the rebel army, who had been in the city only few days. He was identified by Miss Nolen as the man whom she and girl friend found in their room one night, and who fired upon them when his pres ence was discovered. His conviction followed soon afterward, although he has at all times steadfastly asserted his innocence.

'RUSSELIViLLE HIGH
 WILL SEEK REVENGE
CONWAY HIGH SCHOOL TO MEET UPSTATE TEAM
 SATURDAY.

Bent upon seeking revenge for their defeat at the hands of Conway High school footballists sometime since, the gridiron gladiators from Russellville High School will battle the white and blue warriors on Hen- drix field Saturday afternoon, the game to commence at 3 o'clock. x single touchdown by Big Chief Dodson, giant fullback of Wilson S brigade, was the only score the local preps were able to garner off the up- state team when the two crews met at Russellville a week from last Sat urday. While Conway has high hopes of winning the bout Saturday, still, the boys are not one whit over-confi- dent, and will go into the game with determination to fight for every thing they get.
 This game will probably be the on- ly one the local high school team will play in Conway this season, and as Coach Wilson has whipped into con dition one of the best teams which ever represented the local school, a large crowd is expected to witness the struggle.

Little Rock, Nov. 1S->The trial of Joe Coker, the Olmstead farmer, for the murder of Dr. John H. Harrod, was taken up in the Pulaski circuit court this morning. Attorneys for Coker yesterday endeavored to have the court grant change of venue to Perry county, alleging that the preju- dice in Pulaski county was so great against Coker that he could not se- cure fair trial, but Judge R. J. Lea overruled the motion. Coker is represented by R. c. Bruce and George Shaw of Conway, and the law firm of Vaughan & Akers is assisting Prosecuting Attorney R. L. Rogers.

We try to express this thought with such words as-clogged Liver-Lazy Liver-Inactive Liver and the usual common expressions, but it does not state the fact. The fact is that the Bile, natures own antiseptic and dis infectant, is damuled-up so that 1t flows feebly or not at all.

MISS COX WINNING
 FAME WITH VOICE
FORMER CONWAY YOUNG WO- MAN ACHIEVING DISTINC-
 TON IN THE EAST.

A number of newspaper clippings received here recently by her grand parents, Col. and Mrs. G. w. Bruce indicate that Miss Louise Cox, the former Conway girl who last year won the distinction of an engagement with the Metropolitan Grand Opera company of New York City, is con- tinuing to rise in her profession. Dur ing the early fall, she sang in con- cert with Signor Antonio Pini- -Corsi, also of the Metropolitan company, at 8 number of engagements in eastern cities. A press comment typical of a number printed during the tour is the following from the Syracuse (N. Y.) Post-Standard of October 29:
 "The music in Paer opera is fluent and melodious and it was capitally well sung by Pini-Corsi, Miss Louise Cox, promising young soprano of the Metropolitan forces, and Attillio ali Crescenzo, a tenor from the Royal Opera at Parma, Italy. |. Like Anna Case, who came here from New York last spring to sing for the music festival, Louise Cox is young and unknown. She made an impres- sion in Syracuse last night that will last. Her work in the opera was wholly satisfactory, and later, in the concert programme, she sang the "Jewel Song" from Faust" with the finish and artistic treatment of a much older artist She was called back for several encors, to which she graciously responded, and, after her final number, was called back until she was obliged to confess that her encore repertoire was exhausted. Without doubt Miss Cox will be invit- ed to come to Syracuse again in the near future"
 Miss Cox on November 3 resumed her engagement at the Metropolitan Grand opera house in New York.

General Moose, and when he returned stated that the attorney general had filed in the supreme court his accep- tance of modified judgment. Threet was convicted in the Faulkner circuit court and sentenced to hang. The su- preme court Monday handed down a decision reversing this judgment and remanding the case for another trial, but stipulating that if the state would consent a sentence on the lesser charge would be pronounced by the supreme court. The consent of At torney General Moose having been filed, another trial will not be re- quired.
 MT. Clark stated 1t would probably be Monday, November 24, before the sentence will be pronounced. It will be necessary for the sheriff to bring Threet before the supreme court when his sentence is pronounced.

With the assistance of the of cers he climbed into the prison con- veyance.
 "I was drunk with morphine when I jumped from that train," Tillman told a reporter. You know I've been using the drug for appendicitis. I'm sorry I attempted to escape.

 Sheriff Cook is confident the boy did not walk to the point where he was captured. A horse was stolen about l o'clock yesterday morning, near Perry, within few miles of which Tillman escaped. The horse was found returning from within a few miles of the farmhouse, where he finally was overtaken. The officer be- lieves Arthur took the horse and rode at breakneck speed to within few miles of the Casa farmhouse.

 The amount of cotton ginned in Faulkner county prior to November 1 was 13,417 bales, as compared with, IA, ,404 to the same date in 1912, ac-. cording to bulletin received here to- day from the Bureau of Census. The ginning is not only under last years, but shows remarkably heavy decline from the preceding period this year, during which time approximately H. 900 bales were ginned, while from Oc-- tober Is to November 1, only 2,095 bales were ginned. The decrease is due to almost continuous rains dur. ing the last half of October, making picking impossible, and the present, period is expected to show a good in-- crease.

 ESTIMATED CROP
MEMPHIS PAPERS GUESS
UNAVOIDABLE CONDITIONS IS CAUSE OF LOW ESTIMATE
 OF 1913 CROP.

Memphis, Nov. 17.-The Conner cial Appeal estimates the growth o1 this years cotton crop in 13,572, ,00( bales. These figures do not include linters.
 The estimate is based on the an swers of correspondents from all parts of the cotton belt, and repre- sent careful inquiries on their part into the size of the crop in their sec. tions.
 The hot weather during late Aug. ust and early September brought about an early opening of the crop and it is probable that a larger per centage of the crop has been jicked to date than ever before known. The high price paid for the staple has re- suited in a rush by farmers to get their product to market, there being almost no holding reported. A few instances of holding for higher prices are reported from districts where heavy rains have damaged the grade, and farmers refuse to take the price bid for the low grades. These are very few, however.
 Damage from frost was confined almost exclusively to eastern Arkan- sas, where much damage was done in the overfowed territory, and to the eastern states, North Carolina hav- ing suffered especially heavy in this regard. Staple is said to be fairly good in the east, but much damage has resulted in the central and west ern portions of the belt from heavy rains in September.
