a star in every branch of athletics at
Hendrix College, left yesterday for
Charlotte, N. c., where he will play
baseball with the Charlotte team in

Hickey was stripped of his shoulder
straps by Governor Geo. w. Dona-
ghey, who made an investigation at
the time. He demanded a courtmar-
tial, but it was not given until the pc
tition was presented to Governor Flu
trell. When it was decided to hold
the meeting in Fordyce, Hickey de-
clined to be present.
The hearing approves the finding of
Governor Donaghey. 1t condemns the
actions of Capt. Hickey, stating that
he usurped charge of the train carry
ing the soldiers south, and also cen
sured the superior officer who permit
ted him to do it. Hickey is further
condemned for permitting his men to
have intoxicants, it being shown that
a large amount was placed on the car
for his company at Pine Bluff. Hickey
is further censured for attending
church, bearing arms. The report al
so recommends greater discipline in
the handling of state troops in the flu
|ture.

DENNIS ACTION OF CAPT.
HICKEY.

Little Rock, July 31.-The. report OF
the courtmartial which heard the
charges against Capt. Hickey, the de-
posed officer of the Jonesboro compa-
nv, has at last been filed with Cover
nor Futrell. He is considering it
carefully, and will probably order it
approved and filed with the records of
the guard.
According to the evidence presented
before the court of inquiry, Capt.
Hickey was discourteous to officers OF
county and town at Fordyce, when ne
groes were attacked and beaten up,
presumably by members of his COM
pany, who had stopped in that town a
short time on their way to the annual
encampment in Alexandria, La.
Hickey 'cussed out" the officers and
stated he would not submit to the
placing Of his men under arrest.

.FUTRELL SETSPRECEDENT
in PARDONING COYICTS
ACTUAL BONA FIDE BOND
SIGNED BY SURETIES RE-
QUIRED FOR RELEASE.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-Governor Flu
trell yesterday granted a pardon to A.
S. Funk of Little Rock on condition
that he gives bond not to again vio-
late the law. This sets precedent in
the matter Of pardons so far as
known, no governor having ever be-
fore required an actual bona fine bond
signed by sureties, ETC., in cases Of
pardons.
Funk was convicted in the city
court here on the charge of carrying q
pistol and fined 5000. He was unable
to pay the fine and went to Jail, where
he has served nearly five months,
amounting to 500 worth Of his SEN
tence. The bond given covers the re-
mainder, with $50 for the costs of the
case. If Funk fails to be good his
sureties, even 20 years from now,
must pay the state $3.50.

STATE OFFICIALS PAID.

Little Rock, Aug. Yesterday
was payday at the state capitol, and
for the first time in six months all
bills against the general revenue fund
were met and all the state officials
drew their salary. This was due to
the replenishment of the funds by the
recent annual settlements of sheriffs.
However, it required nearly all the
general revenue fund, and as only 10
sheriffs yet remain to settle, it is
question as to where the money for
general expenses is to come from for
the ensuing IL months. The state
capitol and other funds are in good
shape.

TO STOP WORK
ON CO URTnOUS[
INJUNCTION IS SOUGHT
J. D. SHACKLEFORD ASKS FOR
INVESTIGATION BY CHAN
CELLOR MARTINEAU.

Little Rock, Aug. 2.-Petition for
an injunction to stop construction
work on the annex to the Pulaski
county courthouse until the contract
with A. o. Campbell is investigated
by Chancellor John E. Martineau, was
filed in chancery court yesterday aft
ernoon by John d. Shackleford, Lit
tie Rock attorney. Complaint is made
that the contract with Campbell is not
the same as originally was awarded
by Commissioner Gordon N. Peay and
County Judge Joe Asher.
The defendants in the injunction
proceedings are A. o. Campbell, con-
tractor constructing the annex; Geo.
r. Mann, architect; Gordon N. Peay,
courthouse commissioner; County
Judge Joe Asher and County Clerk H.
S. Turner. The complaint asks for am
order from Chancellor Martineau ap-
pointing commission of three men,
bers to hear evidence and take testi-
mony as to the change in conditions
stipulated by the contract, and the
difference in the cost between the orig
inal contract and the contract now ex-
listing.
1t further is asked by Shackleford
that an order be issued by the court
restraining Geo. r. Mann, as archi
tect, from making estimates for the
contractor, County Clerk Turner from
issuing county warrants in favor of
Contractor Campbell, and County
Judge Asher from endorsing warrants
issued to the contractor.
The complaint recites excerpts from
the original plans and specifications,
saying that the first story was to be
constructed of granite, but the change
allows the use of Batesville stone.
The interior brick walls, he says, are
to be replaced with hollow tile or Gyp
block; fireproof windows are alleged
to have been changed for wood frames

DRASTIC | AW PLANNED
ANENT ELECTION RULES

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-The delay of
county election boards in forwarding
returns to the secretary of state will
doubtless result in the passage of
a drastic law by the next legislature.
The election commissioners of Arkan-
sas in a great many counties pay NO
attention whatever to the present
statute requiring them to report the
returns to the secretary of state. For
the past four or five years some of the
election commissioners have taken
from two to five weeks time in per-
forming a duty that should not have
taken more than 48 hours time.
Members of the legislature who visit
ed Little Rock last week stated that
they will introduce measure in the
next legislature making it misde-
meanor Tor election officials to hold
back feturns or fail to report the re-
turns to the secretary of state more
than three days. 1t is proposed to
make each violation punishable by fine
from 500 to $500 and six months i'm
rrisonment in Jail. This law will also
be made applicable to primaries. IT
this law had passed several years ago
anG been enforced the Democratic
party in Arkansas would today have
have been in much better shape and
not torn into several shreds on ac-
count of alleged ballot box stuffing
and frauds. In nine cases out Of 10
the frauds were alleged to have been
committed by officials holding back the
returns.
