WASHINGTON, Jan. D. - The sud death of Senator Jeff Davis of Ark ansas came as a distinct shock to his friends in the capital the other morning. The Senator left Washing ton Dec. 13 to spend the Christmas holidays at home and at that time ap- peared in the best of spirits. He had not been in good health for some time, although his condition did not oc- casion his friends much alarm. On one or two occasions, his friends say, he had suffered from attacks of dizzl- ness. On recovering from these at tacks he invariably made light of them.
 Since taking his seat in the Senate in 1907, Senator Davis had grown steadily in the esteem of his fellow members. At first he was regarded as an extreme radical in his views. When death overlook him he was chairman of the Senate Committee on the Mis- sissippi river and it's tributaries and member of the commission on claims, coast and insular survey, in terior expenditures, immigration, in dian depredations, private land claims and public lands.
 A committee of the Senate will be named to attend the funeral, together with the entire delegation in the House from Arkansas, with others, as soon as the sergeants-at-arms of the Senate and House are appraised of the plans for the funeral. Telegrams were sent this morning to his family in' Quiring as to these plans.

the mill of the Pine Grove Mining
company at Pine Grove, in Mineral
county, just across the Lyon county

blyman Billy and Joseph Wilson.

While this proposition seemed
preposterous to the sheriffs, those
who know Lopez best declare that
his pronounced gallantry and cynical
humor would make it the most like
ly thing in the world, if he realized
there was small chance to escape,

money. However. there seemed lit

grant the women's request.
