Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.-Attor-
ney General w. L. Moose has
rendered an opinion in which he
declares that surveyors or any
one making copies of county
plats or field notes which are in
the hands of the county clerks,
must pay for them the same as
though the clerk had prepared
the copies. The attorney general
states the counties purchased
these notes from the State Land
Commissioner, and the fees are
set in order to reimburse the
county for the expenses, and if
the surveyors make copy with
out cost, there will be no one
left to purchase the copies, for
noIone else has use for them.

Secured From Ohio.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 20. The
Arkansas tax commission sent
to Ohio and secured copies of
the forms upon which reports
of publicity corporations are
made to the Ohio commission
which has the handling of such
matters, intending to use them
under the Arkansas laws, but
it has been found the printing of
the forms will be more than the
contingent fund of the tax COM
mission can stand. There are
three different forms and if put
into use, will require about ST.
500 each in printing.
The commissioners are con-
fdent they will make money for
the state if they decide to use
these forms on account of their
being so full of detail, thus pre-
venting many things to escape
that would be overlooked on the
ordinary form. The commission
will endeavor to reduce the
forms which the Ohio commits
sion has spent years in bringing
to a point of perfection, but the
chances are they will eventual
ly decide it cannot be improved
on, and that it will be false e.
economy to reduce it, so have it
printed as it stands.

It was a one sided game from
the beginning, the Batesvllie

delivery for only two safetles !,
and whipping into e1hereai
snace for eleven strike outs.
Their only run came IN the
fourth when Trevathan reacheo
first base by an error of Ryan's,
stole second and Immediately
raced to third, and scored on an
infeld hit by Warner.
The Batesville boys played a
better game in the field than
the visitors, and had they been
able to hit in the pinches, would
undoubtedly have won.
The Newport boys played a
nice clean game, and are good
winners, as they would doubt
less be good losers. The only
bad feature is the fact that their

Army May Split.

Mexico City, Oct. 13-There has
been endless speculation here regard.
ing the effect of Provisional President
Huerta's coup d'etat. Many appear to
believe that the logical result will be
split in the army, which they assert
has been held together only by the
force Of General Huerta's personality.
They argue that there has been dis
satisfaction over Huerta's course In
general, and that this will test loyalty
to the danger point. They look for
startling developments in the near fu
ture.
On the other hand there is a large
element which believes President
Huerta took the only possible course
and express wonder that he had moi
taken the step long ago.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 13.-The appeal
in the case of Charles Becker, the
former New York city police lieuten-

Lewis, Lefty Louis" "Gyp the Blood"
and "Dago Frank" who have been in
mates of the death house at Sing Sing
for more than year, came up TO ar
gument before the Court of Appeals
today. The five were convicted and
sentenced to death for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, who
was shot down in front of the Hotel
Metropole early on the morning of
July 16, 1872 According to the evil
dence at the trial the murder was COM
mitted by the four gunmen at the in
stigation of Becker, whose alleged mo-
tive was to prevent the gambler from
testifying before the grand jury in re-
CARDS to police corporation.

and that a third party will be selected
in each instance.
Although a settlement of the matter
seems hopeless at present, neither Sen
ator is willing to admit it and both of
the doubtless realize that unless there
is some sort of agreement, neither may
get any patronage.
Secretary of the Interior Lane is
anxious to make an appointment for
office of registrar Of public lands and
has written a letter to each of the
Senators. urging that they agree on a
man. Unless there is some sort of an
agreement within the next few days
it is likely that Secretary Lane and
the other cabinet officials to whom
the new officials are to be held respon.
sible will take the matter in their own
hands.

With the upper half lying between
the rails and the lower half outside
the track, the dead body of James G.
Williams, lumber inspector for the
Firm Lumber Company, of this city,
was discovered at an early hour Sun
day morning, at a cattle guard on the

place, after completing his weeks
work in taking up lumber for his COM
pany.
AS the mangled and dismembered
body was found quite near the cattle
guard and the left foot was badly

got his foot caught when attempting
to cross the guard, was unable to es-

was struck, seemingly by a southbound
