LAW DID NOT
 CALL FOR GREER
At Railroad functions Where Trains Do Not Make Close

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 2.-The Su- preme Court delivered an inter- esting opinion Monday on the. act of 1907 providing for train- criers at certain stations. The Rock Island railroad had been, indicted in the White county cir cult court on a charge of having violated the law by failing to provide a crier at the station at HigginsOn. The lower court sus- tained a demurrer by the rail- road on the ground that the law does not require a crier at Hig- ginson, and in sustainingthis ac- tion, the Supreme Court says:
 '"The act}does not provide that all railroad companies operating railroads in this state shall at all functions where it connects with one or more lines of any railroad, provide and have on duty at it's station a crier whose duty it shall be to call out the departure of all passenger trains; but it provides for a crier at all functions where two or more trains connect. The object and purpose of the statute is for the protection of passen- gers and to prevent confusion in embarking on trains. We think the words, "at all june tions where two or more trains connect" mean a junction where the trains of two or more rail roads, when on schedule time, arrive and depart at or near the |same time."

Could Not Identify Man.

y
 The party, composed of Sher- if J. B. Owens, Deputy Sheriff James Easley and D. A. Lind sey, who went to Muskogee, Ok lahoma, to identify the man held there for the Pocahontas postof- flee robbery and the shooting of MT. Owens last summer, return ed Wednesday without their man.
 They all say they are quite sure it was the man wanted here, in fact, they say in their own mind they know it was the right party, but none of them were willing to be placed on oath and say positively that he was the man that shot MT. Owens, and for this reason the Oklaho- ma officials said that the evi- dence against him was not suf- ficient to warrant their turn ing him over to our officials.
 He was released, but was im- mediately arrested on other charges.-Hoxie Enterprise.

 he was robbing a bank. He swore that he was no in Ark fansas between October 1 and FOctober 5, and that he had nev- CT been in Pocahontas.

 ling's photograph out of a col
 lection of 150 photographs of

The actual administration OF the oath

else ever seen here.
