The Rhineharts and Arlington Ac-
quilted.

The trial of l. j. Rhinehart and son,
Carl, and j. M. Arlington, charged
with the murder of murder of Vim.
Reeves on June 3, 1913, took up about
eight days of our district court, A
panel of 65 jaiors was exhausted and
an addition of AS taiesmen had to be
summoned before u jury of twelve men
were secured to try the case. Tne
facts brought out in the trial showed
that Reeves had repeatedly threatened
|. j. Rhinehart and j NJ. Arlington,
both personally and by threats commit
nicated, and on the day Reeves was kill
ed he had raised his shotgun to shoot
Carl Rhinehart, when the elder Kline
hart fired, disabling Reeves right arm
and shooting the gun out OF his hands.
Reeves ran, and /. J. Rhinehsrt and
Arlington pursued him on horseback,
overtaking him about quarter of a
mile from the scene of the first shoot
ing, where Rhinehart fired the fata.
shots, all of which struck Reeves in the
chest, face and arms. The defense did
not deny the killing, and their counsel
avowed that they were justified in the
act. The jury went into the jury room
about 10 o'clock Monday night, and
only occupied about Is minutes in MAX
ing up their verdict of mot guilty. "
Whereupon the judge ordered the pris-
oners discharged.
Thus closed one of the most sensa-
tional trials in this parish for many
years. The four principals in the trag-
edy were married men, and their wives
and children were present at the trial,
in the course of which about thirty wit
nesseS were examined.

tiers in Grant parish we believe
took the necessary action and Sc
cured their homesteads. There
were others who proposed to take
advantage of the precedent set,
but owing to Mr.. Hadnot's death,
which unfortunately occurred
about that time, all, or most of
them seem to have abandoned
their claims. or to have slept over
their rights.
We make this statement simply
to remind the readers Of the
Chronicle that this is a thread
worn subject with the editor,
and that we have always shown
quite as much disinterested con-
Germ in behalf of the settlers as
has Mr.. Hart or any other person.

A Thread Worn Subject.

I Mr.. T. O. Hart is pleased to
regard our criticism of his brief,
proposed to be presented to Con-
gress about settlers claims, as a
knock against both himself and
the settlers. Nothing is further
from our desire than to do or say
anything that would initiate
against any settler whom we be-
lieved to have a ghost of a show
or shadow of claim for govern
ment land. Ever since this sub
ject came up, way back in the
SOS, we have endeavored to keep
our people posted and to urge up
on them the Importance of look
ing after their rights. Long be-
fore Mr.. Hart ever came into
Grant parish, we published and
wrote about the Robertson-
Blanchard compromise. And
sixteen or seventeen years ago.
during the life time of Mr.. John
p. Hadnot, who gave a great
IDEAL of attention to this subject,
