The Facts In The Case.

Last week conflicting reports
were circulated here about the
disposition made of the Mansfield
Turner case in the United States
commissioners court at Fort
Smith. A citizen here asked one
direct from the court room for
the straight of the matter. We
heard the question and answer,
but to be sure of the reliability
of his information asked him if
he knew it to be a fact or was it
hearsay. He said he handled
the papers. We then published
the facts as he told us in the last
issue. We later heard from
reliable sources that our in
formation was not correct. We
then wrote to Fort Smith for the
court record, and this is what we
got. Mansfield Turner was ar
rested on complaint made by a
man in Little Rock. He stated
in his affidavit that certain man
living near Cass was present
when he bought the whiskey
from the defendant, When put
on oath the government witness
fatty denied being present or of
any such transaction. The in
formant being thus discredited
by his own witness the defend
ant was discharged. We believe
this is correct this time.

me, from the tone of your reply

that you have suspected that |

influence is measured by the
right and wrong principles

where you align yourself either
with the sober, moral. christian
class or the immoral, whiskey-

| fail to agree with you that
we have fair elections in our
county. assert that no honest
man who is not a Democrat can
be persuaded to vote in a Dem
ocratic primary. neither will an
honest Democrat try to influence
men, whom he knows not to be
Democrats, to vote in a Dem
ocratic primary election. This
doubtless has been done, and the
only reason why such tricks are
played is to keep clean, honest
men out of Office. II don't believe
as you assert, that ever our best,
most honorable and efficient offic-
ers drink whiskey and swear.

GOVERNMENT PROBE OF SHIP
DISASTER STARTS
Montreal, Que, June 1.-Govern-
ment investigation of the loss of
nearly 1000 lives when the C. P. R.
liner Empress of Ireland was rammed
and sunk by the collier Storstad
started here today. Captain Lindsay,
Wreck Commissioner of the Domin-
ion of Canada, opened an inquiry
which will probe the causes of the
horror preliminary to full investiga-
ton by the royal commission.
Grace discrepancies in the testi-
mony of Captains Kendall and An
derson as to the occurrences when
the Empress of Ireland went down
are to be explained. Both captains
declare their boats were almost sta
tionary. Captain Anderson says the
Storstad's engines we're at full speed
astern when the crash came. He de-
MES his vessel backed out of the rent
she tore through the Empress side
and insists that momentum of the
liner twisted the collier out the great
gap, thus allowing the water to pour
in with such speed that practically all
chances of the passengers escape
was cut off.
Under libel action for 100000,
claimed by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, owner of the Empress of Ire
land, the Storstad was held here to-
day. She will be detained until the
question of culpability for the disas-
ter is settled.
According to the latest list of the
81 cabin passengers carried, 80 were
saved; of S68 second and third class
passengers but $50 were saved; of
432 crew carried 226 were saved.

WILD BULL GOES
 UP THE STAIRS
Enters Rooms of Frisco Apartment House and the People Flee
 to Fire Escapes.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-A wild bull escaping from the herd at the freight yard ran amuck through the Mob Hill district early this morn ing, driving all the people on the streets into buildings and the bull finally climbed four flights of stairs in an apartment house. breaking in to the rooms by smashing the doors. and forced the half clad sleepers to flee for safety to the fire escapes and to the roof of the building.
 Not a policeman could be found by the people, who were in danger. and a cowboy lassoed the bull and when he had it conquered and was leading it back to the cars, policemen in large numbers, with drawn re volvers and as brave as lions, ar rived on the scene and wanted to take the bull away from the cowpuncher, but he only laughed at them and continued to the cattle pen with it.
 Charges will be filed against the policemen along the beat which the bull followed because they fled and left the citizens unarmed and with out protection.
