was astonishing when one considered
the quantity of food they had stored

Harry Cunningham. Walter Brown, and
Louis c. Wilson. Major Richard Syl-
vester was starter. A centipede race
by four teams of four men each, a
backward race, sack and wheelbar-

can potato race. in which there were a
score or more of contestants. The po-
tatoes were carried on the ends of
sharp sticks instead of on spoons, as
in the ordinary potato races.
The winners of the athletic events are

PROPOSE CHANGES
 IN ELECTION LAWS
CORRUPT PRACTICE A JOKE
PUTS NO REAL LIMIT ON EX- PENDITURES BY THE
 CANDIDATES.

Little Rock, March 12.-Some rad ical changes in the corrupt practice act will be proposed to the next legis- lature, for it is admitted that the one now in use is little more than joke. Some legislation must be enacted which will really limit the expendi- ture of candidate, and what his friends may spend in his behalf, There is now no limit upon the ex- penditure by outsiders in the interest of candidate, so money is now be- ing spent in great quantities by in- direct means, which brings the same results
 Ton after ton of literature in the interest of candidates, is now being mailed from Little Rock, and this lit erature runs as much to the ton in gold, as the richest metal ever mined in California or Alaska. One can didate who has sent broadcast thOus- and upon thousand circulars, made a state race 20 years ago, in which he had printed only 2000 circulars, and less than 1000 of these were distrib- uted. The present style of campaign ing was introduced by Geo. w. Don- aghey in his first race for governor and the only way to retire from vogue, is to legislate against it.

you Tom Willis then threw up his gun and fired. He reloaded his gun and made an attempt to shoot again, then MT. Miller shot him before he could shoot the second time. Ray Willis was rowing the boat and Tom Willis was sitting on the back seat with his gun in his hands when he halted us."
 Ray Willis, the brother of the man killed, testified as follows: "On the
 morning of March 15 my brother
 Tom and l put two negroes, Ike John
 son and Morgan, over the river. About 3 p. m. the negroes called at the opposite bank for us to come and put them back across the river. We started after them and when we got to the bank of the river we found the
 Miller boys had started after them.
 We told them to 90 back, that the negroes were our customers and we
 were going after them. They went
 back, we went and got the negroes
 and in midstream we met Miller.
 Miller came close to our boat and
 looked like he was trying to run into
 us at this time. Tom told him not
 to come another stroke farther or he would shoot him. Miller stopped and turned around, then my brother shot at him and missed him about foot. Miller raised his gun and shot at us, killing my brother, and some of the shot struck my hand. We did not carry a gun with us when we went after the negroes, but borrowed a rife over the river fom a negro, Dun- lap Harpole."
 Miller was arrested by Deputy Sheriff c. O. Payne and brought to Conway last night.
 At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, after hearing evidence under habeas cor pus proceedings, County Judge J. w. Holt fixed a nominal bond of $200 for Miller's appearance before the grand jury next July. In straightforward manner Miller, who was represented by Attorney R. G. Bruce, told the story of the tragedy to the court, and if he was telling the truth, as he inn pressed those who heard him that he self-defense. He said the trouble be- gan some weeks ago, when Willises, taking offense at him from some un- was, the killing was clearly done in known cause, began to insult and an- nov h,s wife and children.

WILLS KILLED ON
 ARKANSAS RIVER
SHOT BY WALTER MILLER
MEN WERE IN BOAT IN MID- STREAM WHEN THE TRAG-
 EDY OCCURRED.

While the two men were in boats in midstream of the Arkansas, opposite Red Hill, six miles west of Conway Walter Miller shot and instantly killed Thomas E. Willis at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Willis few sec Onds before he was killed had fired at Miller and is said to have been re- loading his weapon when Miller fired the fatal shot. Willis brother, Ray Willis, who was in the boat with him, was slightly injured in the hand by shot from Miller's gun. The cor oner's jury last night recommended that Miller be held to await the action of the grand jury, on account of the inability of the jury to secure addi- tional evidence at the inquest.
 It is understood that the trouble between the two arose several days ago, when Miller charged that Will lis had used improper language to- ward his (Miller's) wife. A. A. Pat terson was in the boat with Miller, and Willis and his brother and two negroes, Ike Conley and one Morgan were in the other boat. Patterson and Ray Willis told the story of the tragedy at the coroner's inquest, but tAe testimony of the two negroes could not be secured. According to Coroner J. A. Pence, the evidence ad duced at the inquest was sufficient to justify a verdict exonerating Miller, but the jury thought best not to do so until the testimony of the negroes could be heard.
 A jury composed of J. J. Cantrell, foreman, o. K. Bradley, R. D. White, Billie Ward, J. K. P. Smith, John Hale, J. c. Brady, G. M. Smith, P. A. Ward, Alvie Bryant, Perry Ward and Jerry Cantrel served at the in- quest conducted by Coroner J. A.. Pence near the scene of the killing last night. A. A. Patterson, who was in the boat with Miller, testified as follows:
 q started across the river in the boat with MT. Miller and we met Ray and Tom Willis in mid-stream. Tom Willis said Halt, or I will shoot

tried to remonstrate with them Miller says the Willises threatened to put hole through him." Both Miller and the Willises, he said, did little ferry ing on the river, and some negroes had asked Miller's oldest boy to come across the river for them yesterday afternoon. When he started the Will hses went out in their boat and drove the boy back. Later another party of negroes called to Miller and the two Willis boys were still on the river when he started across. As the boats neared each other, Miller says Tom Willis commanded him to halt, at the same time leveling rifle at him. Mil Ter says he stopped his boat, but Will lis fired and missed him, and that he was reloading his gun and declaring he would kill him, when he (Miller) picked up shotgun which he had ly- ing in his boat and fired at Willis. The latter was struck with the charge OI SHoC III tHe lo"eI I1SHe oiuo e'Au died instantly, his body partially fall ing out of the boat.
 Miller is married and has four chil- dren. He claims to have rented the land on which the Willises live, but says he has never tried to make him get off the land.
 Willis lived with his father, broth CT and two sisters in little hut on the bank of the river. He was 25 years of age and was unmarried.
