EVIDENCE accumulates that Mr. Will
son made a mistake in the selection of
his Attorney General; a sort of a hybrid
Democrat. who was in with the Taft
administration. McReyuolds, the man
in question, is a Tennessee product, and
always made trouble for tho Democratic
party. whose nominees he voted for or
moi. as 10 suited him. He has made ma
ny mistakes since his appointment, and
has habit of shooting of his mouth
when 81 would be best to keep it shut.
His greatest odensa. however, is the eff

pistol Joe" Powell Uses His
Gun.

At the 4th of July celebration at Nal
lery Springs, Pistol Joe" Powell fur
Their demonstrated the fact that he had
been correctly ''nicknamed" by shoot
ing and probably fatally wounding Hen
nv Lamb, who may not be as gentle as
his name indicates. Both were drink
ing we are informed, and when they
met at the dance the i'll feeling that had
existed some time asserted itself in both
men and quarrel followed. Pistol
Joe" used his gun and sent big bullet
through the body OF Lamb, the ball en-
tering in the region of the heart. Lamb
returned the fire, but used his weapon
without disastrous results. The crowd
became excited and in a few seconds
dozens of pistols were out and free-for-
all fight was only averted by the pres
ence and admonition of cooler heads.
Lamb was taken to his home and his
wounds dressed. He is considered in a
very dangerous condition. A warrant
has been issued for Powell, but had not
been served at noon today. 1t is thought
that il will be no trouble to locate and
arrest him. There was a celebration at
Valley View the same day, but we are
glad TO state that everything passed off
quietly.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

In the News last week was printed the ordinance dividing the town in- to wards, made necessary by the fact that after the coming April election Springdale will be a city of the second class.
 At the next election eight alder men will be elected, two from each ward, and the marshal will be elect ed by the people instead of being appointed by the council as has been the custom in the past Residents of the various wards will vote only for the aldermen for that ward, but the mayor, recorder, treasure. and marshal will be voted for in all the wards There will be a voting pla Q for each ward. If candidates are nominated by mass meetings as heretofore, We presume that the residents of each ward will hold their nominating conventions sepa- rate, but when t comes to naming the other candidates all will parti- cipate As the election occurs the first Tuesday in April, which will be the first day of the month,it is time the voters were beginning to consider who they want to fill there offices
