CITY COMPLETES
 SHELL STREET
Work Because Supply Has Been Exhausted New Sewer
 Connection Ordinance.

The city has completed the paving and resurfacing with shells of Front street from Beech to the ferry crossing on Pine street and of Malcolm av- enue east from the lake bridge to within a block of the corpor- ate limits. The last accounts for this improvement were brought before the council Mon- day evening and allowed.
 That the shell surfacing of worn macadam streets is a cheap and effective way of rebuilding such a paving is now apparent to all and the only fault that could be found with the work completed is that heavy roller was needed to properly crush the shell to provide an even sur face as traffic tends to scatter the shells and make the surface irregular and wavy. Such a roller, the city does not own or it would have been used.
 The council at the meeting Monday night also passed an or dinance which prohibits the tap ping of the sewer system with out a permit from the sewer commission.
 In the mayors court Tuesday morning, two boys who had been repeatedly warned not to ride bicycles On the sidewalks of the city, were each fined $2.OO for violations of this ordinance. The boys of the city should take notice and not ride upon the sidewalks, or they too may soon be brought before the mayor as the officers are instructed to en- force the ordinance.

Jail Delivery Prevented.

Mammoth Spring, June g.
 Three prisoners, charged with criminal offenses, made an ef- for to escape from the Fulton
 county jail Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. They are Ben Carter, charged with criminal
 assault; Easton York, confess ed horse thief, and Howard Say
 CTS, being held on charge of
 shooting with intent to kill Lee
 Burrow of Mammoth Spring.
 They had worked the mortar from about a great stone in the wall, and all that was lacking was to remove the stone, and they could have escaped. They probably would have made a get
 away Saturday night had their work not been discovered or suspected by the wife of the jail
 keeper, who reported to the sheriff, Mart Carouthers. The sheriff, instead of molesting the
 progress Of the work, watched,
 in order, if possible, to learn who
 on the outside was lending aid. He discovered the man, and an
 arrest will be made as soon as the prosecuting attorney re- turns home.

COURT MARTIAL
 GRANTED HICKEY
Was Former Captain of Jonesbo. TO Company Dismissed on Ac-
 count of Race Riots.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 10.-Gov. J. M. Futrell has decided to grant the request of l.. D. Hickey, former captain of the JoneSboro company of the Arkansas State Guard, who was, dismissed from the service for permitting his company to create a race riot at Fordyce last year, for a court martial to hear the evidence for and against him.
 Captain Hickey was relieved of his shoulder straps by Gov ernor Geo. w. Donaghey, follow ing the outbreak in Fordyce, in which a number of enlisted men on their way to the encampment in Alexandria, La, charged a negro store and almost demolish- ed it. They claimed one of the men had been insulted by a ne- gro who took refuge in the store, and the proprietor re- fused to surrender him.
 Gov. Donaghey made an in- vestigation and held Hickey re- sponsible. Hickey asked for a court martial at the camp, but he had been removed from the Guard and it was claimed that he no longer had the right tc ask it.
 Gov. J. M. Futrell has written to Captain Hickey, requesting him to give the date that will be most convenient for the holding of the court martial. He has also

Biz Fish to Be Preserved.

Capt. Charles H. Thompson's 20-ton fish, caught off Miami, Fla, year ago, attracted many persons to the New Jersey Gen. tral Railroad terminal at Gum mingpaw Monday, where the fish lay on freight lighter waiting to be taken over to Manhattan It is to be placed in a museum. The fish, which was unknown to scientists, was stuffed by J. $. Warmbeth of the Smithsonian Institute. It came from Savan- nah last week on coastwlsc steamer. It was captured after a 39-hour flight in which five harpoons and 15O bullets were used. It required five days to kill it. It lowed thirty yachts sometimes as fast as forty miles an hour. It is 45 feet long and has several thousand teeth. 1t has no scales but has hide three inches thick.

urday afternoon late and at an
 informal meeting with several
 buslness men in the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night, Mr.
 Brown submitted a proposition
 for an extension of the Cache
 Valley road to Paragould. He said there were other parties in terested with him in making the road a trunk line and that he had assurances of sufficient financial support to build the road from Little Rock to Thebes, Illinois. He said the company would build a branch from Lighter or some , other point into Paragould, pro- vided the citizens would raise a fund of $25, ,0O0, secure the right of-way and donate terminal grounds in Paragould. The mat ter was discussed briefly, but no action was taken.
 Talking with a number of rep- resentative citizens this morn ing, the Press reporter found practically no sentiment in fa- vor of the proposition submitted by MT. Brown. They cannot fig ure where Paragould will be ma- terially helped by paying such a large sum for a branch line that would run north and south. The citizens here would have no guarantee that the timber pro- ducts in the Cache bottoms would be brought to this city. On the contrary, it is believed the companies owning the tracts would establish small saw mills on the lands and ship the pro ducts out over the proposed main line. If the citizens of Paragould and those residing along the route of the branch, desired to raise a fund of S25,OOO, it is said they would prefer to in- terest the local hardwood manu- lecturers in the project and as- sist them in building a logging road to the timber belt in the Cache bottoms, thus insuring the business for Paragould.

Dr. Stewart A Valuable Man. Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 10.- Dr. John Stewart, the new superin- tendent of the Arkansas Tuber- culosis Sanitarium at Boone vile, was attending the meet ing of the Board of Trustees in Little Rock Monday. Dr. Stew art was recently secured from Missouri, where he was the su- perintendent of the State Tu- berculosis Sanitarium at Mt. Vernon. Dr. Stewart was the head of that institution for a number of years, and only four deaths occurred there in the en- tire time. He has been several months in Arkansas, and in that time there have been twelve deaths in the Missouri institu- tion. The Board of Trustees consider this great tribute to the ability of Dr. Stewart, and expect him to continue his suc- cessful work in the Arkansas sanitorium.

Wife Arrested-Man Skipped.


 Deputy Sheriff Grover Gard ner returned from Grand Glaize Monday night with Alberta Mount, who is charged with hav- ing shot at another negro named Ellard Washington.
 The woman claims that Wash ington had whipped her and she was the first to use a gun when the trouble came up on the Cal- houn place where they were all living.
 After the Mount woman had attempted to kill Washington, the gun she had used was given to her husband with instructions to put it up, but instead of doing so he hurriedly loaded the gun and would probably have killed Washington, had a bystander named Knox not struck the gun, causing most of the load to miss the negro. Washington receiv- ed several No. 4 shot in the face, both eyes being struck and one of them had to be removed. i Mount had made his get-a- way before the officers arrival

The Independent is informed that while MT. Henry has been rendered the cashiership of this new bank, he has not accepted and even should he later identi- fy himself with this bank, he will not do so in the near future. The position was rendered him but has not been accepted.
 While his fellow-townsmen are pleased to see this evidence of his standing among promi- nent men of Little Rock and this recognition of his capability, we are also glad that we are not to lose him, for the present at least, for his public spirit and progressiveness and his many good qualities of mind and heart are useful factors in our own city's business and social life.

Same Result Expected Here.


 Little Rock, June 10.-The de- cision of the United Supreme Court rendered Monday after noon, in the Minnesota rate cas- es, has a bearing on the Arkan- sas rate cases, which are similar in most respects. The court de- clared the Minnesota rates as confscatory, and the act estab- fishing them, to be unconstitu- tional. The Arkansas cases are now pending in the same court, and a like fate is anticipated for them.
