Little Rock, July 22.-Because
the court refused to permit the
jury to pass upon the superSti-
ton of negroes as to a voodoo
doctor, an appeal has been taken
to the supreme court in the case
Of Hattie Emmons of Phillips
county, who was convicted of as
sault to murder, and sentenced
to serve five years in the peni-
tentlary.
TIE Emmons woman sent a
bottle Of whiskey and several
bottles of beer from Helena to
Ellen Hill, who resided in Ella
inc. There was a sediment in
the liquor which caused it to
be examined, instead of being
the most attractive portion of
a banquet. The chemist stated
that in each bottle was enough
poison to kill several people.
Because the two women had
trouble over the husband of the
Emmons woman, the officers
soon placed her under arrest and
it was found she had sent the
whiskey and beer to her dusky
rivala
In the trial the attorneys for
the Emmons woman undertook
to prove that she had purchased
love powders which she expect
ed to bring her husband back 10
her, and placed it in the liquor.
The court refused to permit
any testimony about voodoo doc
tors and love powders, and TIE
woman was convicted.

Council Passes Two Ordinances.
The city council met in it's
regular weekly meeting Monday
night and but little business was
transacted other than to pass
ordinances in conformity with
the State Board of Health which
seems to be the Dredominating

dinances passed was in regard
to the city diaries, the other one
that all fruit, vegetables and
eatables Of all kinds that are
kept by our merchants on the
sidewalk and exposed to flies,
shall be covered in some way.
The City Board of Health are
very appreciative of the re-
Spouse the people are giving to
the cutting of weeds and grass,
not only in the yards but the
