BONDS AGAIN VOTED
Little Interest Shown in Second
Election Friday.

There was light vote cast at the
special school election last Friday.
but the $63. 600 bonds for the new
high school were carried by a vote of
136 to 80.
There was not much interest in the
election on account of the large maj
ority by which the bonds were carried
at the former election. The
very heavy rain from the middle
of the afternoon until 7:30 in
the evening also helped to keep down
the vote, as many people found it
impossible to reach the school house
on account of the food OF water in the
streets.

A REGULAR FLOOD
ON MORRIS SHEETS
FIVE INCHES OF RAIN ON
FRIDAY.
Sewers Proved too Small to
Handle the Flood and Water
Backed into the Cellars.
Messrs. Casey and McAIeer
Have Exciting Experience at
Muddy Creek.

Five inches of rain fell last Friday
an inch in the early morning hours
and four inches more in the afternoon.
The afternoon rain was one of the
heaviest ever experienced in this city,
and several of the streets presented
the most unusual spectacle of being
converted into veritable rivers. On
the east side of the town the water
found it's old course down Oregon
avenue, and on the west side river
flowed past the La Grand Hotel to
Cyrstal lake. Many business men
were barred from their homes on ac-
count of the streams of water hum
dred feet wide and a foot or more
deep which thus flowed on either side
of the business section of the city.
The sewers were entirely unable
to take care of such rain as this and
the water backed up into a great
many OF the cellars, but ran out again
shortly after the rain stopped.
The Pomme de Terre river over
flowed the bottom land in many places,
and what are usually dry runs leading
into it carried rushing torrents Of
water. Midway between Morris and
Hancock the Great Northern railroad
grade was partly washed out and no
trains were able get thru until noon
ON Saturday. Grades on several of
the highways were covered with water
and travel to surrounding towns was
most cut off.
P. F. Casey and John McAleer had
an exciting experience at the new
| grade over the Muddy on the road due
south from Morris. They got off the
grade and into the deep water. One
managed to reached the grade and
found his way to dry land, while the
other sat on the buggy until help was
secured.
This June has been the wettest June
on record. The rain last Friday
brought the total rainfall for June up
to IL inches, the heaviest record be-
fore having been 1913 in June, 1908.
The heavy rains have done consider
able damage to crops, drowning out
the low places, and preventing the
cultivation of corn. A considerable
, patch of alfalfa at the agricultural
school which was cut before the storm
| was ruined by he rain.
A strong wind accompanied the
; heavy rain and some damage was
done. The windmill and silo on the
! farm of T. Jongeward, north of the
city, was blown down and the barn
was damaged to some extent. The
roof of the silo was carried $50 yds.
: over the grove.

May Have Oil At Cash.

For some years past there has been strong talk of oil in Craig head county, especially so in the western part of the county, and that the field may be developed Many options have been secured by parties, who expect to bore for oil. The latest report con- corning oil in this section comes from w. c. Farley, Jr., of Cash, who writes the Jonesboro Tri- bune that for some weeks he has been pumping oil from his well, and he is certain that he has it in paying quantities.
 The day is not far distant when there will be, it is thought, some gushing oil wells located i'll Craighead county, that will be the means of making some one rich. Every oil man who has made an inspection of the oil prospects in this county has said oil can be found here in paying quantities.

 Both accidents were striking ly similar, the children's cloth ing igniting from stoves while their mothers were out of the house securing additional fuel. Physicians say the Vines child will die, while the Purcer girl has a bare chance to recover.

At Pine Bluff And Grants Lii cense to Nineteen Sa-

Pine Bluff, Feb. 10.-Recog- nizing officially the opinion of Attorney General William l.. Moose holding the Going Act to be unconstitutional, and indicat ing that it will disregard Coun- ty Judge C, M. Philpot's decis- ion on the license petition, should it be against the saloon ists, the Pine Bluff City Council tonight issued licenses to 19 sa- loonists.
 Judge Philpot's decision on the saloon mems petition for the li- cense privilege, already dictated to stenographer in the employ of the prohibitionists, will be an- nounced in the County Court Friday, when Judge Philpot re- turns from a trip to St. Louis. EXPLAINS REASON FOR DE-
 LAY.
 A large and expectant crowd hung about the courthouse to- day awaiting Judge Philpot's de- cision on the saloon hearing, but they were disappointed, the county judge announcing just before he left the courthouse to take a train for St. Louis that his decision will not be made public until he returns, probably on Friday.
 For fear some people might think that I have not the cour- age to remain in the city imme- diately after announcing my de- clslon and because l find 1t abSO- lutely necessary to go to St. Louis this afternoon, I am going to hold the opinion back until l return Friday" said Judge Phil pot. 'The saloons have been closed 40 days and I do not think that three or four days more will hurt. I hate to disap- point you, but I find it neces- sary."
 He said that the stenographer, H. R. Young of Little Rock, is the only person acquainted with his decision and that if it leaks out he will punish MT. Young for contempt of court.
 Judge Philpot left this after noon for St. Louis, where he will

 CENSUS TESTIMONY FIX
 GUIDED.
 Tuesday afternoon was large ly consumed in the checking and rechecking of the remonstrants' census for names appearing on the petition for license, but not upon the census of the city as taken by remonstrants. In this, remonstrants, through witness es who had taken census, show ed that in the section canvass ed by Rev. B. L. Milford and l.. B. Harris, 487 white adults were enumerated; in sections canvassed by Rev. s. D. Grum- bles and H. s. Simmons, there were 564 white adults and in sections canvassed by w. B. Chastain and J. R. Cox there were 413 white adults, making a total for the city of 1,464, or about 30 more than shown in the government estimate intro duced Monday by the petition CTS.
 After John lowers had been placed upon the stand and testi- fled that A. B. Riggs was not white, but negro, T. P. Um- sted was introduced to show that PA unknown names and 145 more non-residents appear ed upon the license petition and were not shown in the census of remonstrants, which with 21 alleged repeaters, P minors and ] not white, made a total of 413 names contested and attack ed by remonstrants.
 When Mir. Umsted as wit ness, testified that 995 white a. dult inhabitants of the city, ac- cording to their census, had not signed the petition for license, the fireworks began.
 Counsel for petitioners held that unless witness was testify ing from his own knowledge such evidence could not be intro duced and if based upon the census, then that census was court paper, which they were entitled to see, examine and at- tack. Spirited argument on both sides was offered, counsel for remonstrants contending that their census was their own private paper, while petitioners held that it could not be, after being used in court as evidence.
 The remonstrants refusing to make their census of record, Judge Coe held that the testi- mony preceding based upon the census and in comparison with the petition, should be excluded from the evidence in the case and adjourned court until next morning, both sides being will ing after the days close fight ing.
