TIE CAPITAL CITY |S
 AFTER PURE WATER
CITY OFFICIALS HAVE APPLIED FOR RECEIVER FOR COMPANY
 HOLDING FRANCHISE.
WANT THE RIVER ABAND OWED
Plans Being Made by People in Effort to Solve ProbIem-Municpa
 Ownership Favored.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock-The capital city is very much agitated at the present time over the water question. This is due to the fact that the Arkansaw Water Co which owns a franchise has been unable to furnish the con sumers with pure drinking water At one time the water furnished to the consumers was so muddy and bad that even stock refused to drink the mix ture.
 This condition of affairs lasted for several days and the people of Little Rock are still boiling the water or buy ing water from owners of springs and wells. The necessity of boiling the water caused big increase in fuel consumption which was costly to the water user, besides having to pay for the water.
 The city officials of Little Rock have taken action in the matter by apply ing for a receiver of the local com paS1y on the grounds the company has not fulfilled it's contract to furnish pure water at all times.
 There has been a great deal of dis cussion among the citizens regarding the installation of a municipal plant, or for the city to buy the plant of the Arkansaw Water Go. Those favor ing these methods of solving the pres ent uproblem would form the city into blanket improvement district in order to obtain funds to take what ever action necessary.
 In any case it is advocated that the Arkansas river be abandoned as a source of supply and that wells be dug in order to secure pure water.
 A rumor was started in the city last week to the effect that typhoid fever was becoming prevalent due to the condition of the drinking water, this rumor was not confirmed by the phy sicians of the city who said there were no more cases now than at the same time last year. In all, there were only six known cases.

 Yates Standridge WAS captured in Oklahoma when he attended a country picnic near Eulala. People of the sur rounding country had been suspicious of the mysterious man who had been making his appearance in the neigh isfaetory replies to questions asked him caused his arrest when he appear ed at the picnic.
 Standridge was first sentenced tc the penitentiary from Pope county, where he shot a sheriff who sought to arrest him on a minor charge. He escaped and returned to his home county, where few months later he shot man named Holmes and badly wounded two women. For the murder of the man and the assault upon the two women he was sentenced to 52 years in the state penitentiary and was serving his term when he escap- from the convict camp at Arlberg, October F, 1912.
 Following his escape he returned to Newton county, where he was cap tured by a sheriff and a deputy. but the convict overpowered his captors as they were en route to jail with him and got away third time. Since this last escape nothing was heard of him until Sheriff w G. Hutton receiv- ed telegram from Sheriff McCune which conveyed the news of Stand ridges capture in Oklahoma.
 Some difficulty arose about the ey- pense of returning the prisoner to Lit tie Rock, but this was removed by Acting Governor J. M- Futrell and War den Smith was sent for the prisoner

LEvEE BUILDERS
 ARE VICTORIOUS
INJUNCTION AGAINST RIVER COM MISSION DISMISSED BY
 COURT.
HAS RIGHT TO BUILD LEVEES
River Commission Governments Asent-Damage to Property Was
 Merely Incidental.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Memphis, Tenn.-The lsvees won the opening battle in their fight for existence An injunction asking that the Mississippi River Commission be re strained from building and repairing levees from Cape Girardeau to the gulf was dismissed by Judge Johp E. Mccall
 The decision is monentous and far reaching.
 Millions O. acres of land and scores of small towns as well as several large cities are affected by the dismissal of the Injunction.
 Indications now point to the dimis, sal of the injunctions against the Lake County and St. Francis levee boards.
 It is also probable that the opinion will have an effect upon the proposed suit considered by the city against the government and the levee boards.
 Judge McCall's opinion was that the government, through it's agent, the Mississippi River Commission, had a right to build and maintain levee sys- tens for the protection of navigation and commerce.
 The court also held that the dam ages incurred sy the building of such systems was merely incidental
 This last clause releases the gov ernment and levee boards, it is said from liability Suits amounting to millions of dollars have been filed against levee boards on the grounds that their work had caused inundation of lands which otherwise would not Dc covered by overflow water.
 Suits against the river commission and the two levee boaSs were filed last December. At the time an effort was made by the Riparian Lans Own CTS Association and John F. Cucbins to stop repair work being carried or by nearly 20 levee boards.
 In one case Maj. Markham was cited as a representative Of the river com | mission, but the action was not upheld Later the commissioners visited Mem phis and papers were served or lhem apofFu tne sledHer Alssissippi It was tHis injunction that was dis missed.
 The at orneys for the Riparian Lani | Owners Association have so fal brought only four of the suits out Q. the many filed into court T.e cases against jhe Lake County and the St Francis boards are due to be called soon.
