AT THE ORPEUgM.

Probably the big" scene, or at least
the one that fairly takes hold and
grips the auditor long after he has left
the theater is the terrific fight put
up by William Farnum as Roy Glenis-
ter and Thomas Santachi. the william
Gus schemer of the picture story, The
Spoilers" now being shown at the
Orpheum.
1t is doubly significant that both
the national board OF censors, and the
Chicago local board, which is very
exaeting. saw the reflex of nature so
admirably pictured and passed this
big event as worthy OF saving for II
shows the very atmosphere of the rug
ged life in the conquest of a new coun-
try where conditions were primitive,
and the situations altogether unusual.
1t is said that the correct staging Of
this one scene mas been the great draw
back to the production of The Spoil
ers" as a thrilling drama. The pres
ent producers have overcome all OBJ
jections and a more realistic hand-to-
hand struggle was never staged. Glen
ister's triumph and his savage eXcla-
nation at the finish: 81 broke him
with my bare hands brings rounds
of applause from the breathless spec
tatOrs.
Kathlyn Williams is seen in one OF
the most dramatic roles. Thomas
Santachi who played Bruce in the
'Kathlyn" pictures has a splendid part
as has Bessie Eyton, who learns TO
love the man she has helped to wrong.
In many respects this nine reel fea-
ture is one of the best productions
ever turned out OF the famous Selig
studio and reflects great credit on
players and producer.

May Change To
 National Bank
Arkansas Bank X Trust COmpa- ny Makes Splendid Show ing In $1OO,000 Increase
 In Deposits.

The Arkansas Bank and Trust Co. may be converted into a national bank, the board of di- rectors having been authorized to convert the bank into a na- tional bank at their own discre- tion and it is probable that the bank will secure a federal char ter in order to receive the ad- vantages of the new federal re- serve law.
 This action of the stockhold- CTS in providing for the change, if thought advisable by the di- rectors, was taken at the bank s annual meeting Monday morn ing. The old directors and off cers were all reelected.
 A dividend of 100 per cent was declared and added to the capital, making the $100,000 au- thorized capital fully paid and as the new state banking act holds the stockholders liable for an equal amount to the capital stock, the banks protection, to depositors is really $200,000. A dividend of 10 per cent was paid to the stockholders and one of 1Oper cent passed to the banks surplus.
 The condition of the bank and management for the past year was highly satisfactory to the stockholders for in deposits, the bank shows a $100,00O increase the past year and the total of $40O, ,495 in the present state ment is the highest in the his- tory of the bank, which also speaks well for the prosperity of this section.

Hodges Given
 Another Chance
Supreme Court Affirms Finding But Remands Case to Deter
 mine Sanity of Hodges.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Arthur Hodges, the young Clark county man sentenced to electrocution for the murder of Constable Morgan Garner near Amity, is to have another chance for his life. The Supreme Court yes day affirmed the decision of the lower court in the main, the evi- dence being legally sufficient to support the jury's finding that the killing was the result of pre- meditated intent.
 But the cause was remanded with instructions to the court to summon a jury to inquire into Hodges sanity at the time of the trial, which was not then brought into question. The Judgment of the lower court dis missing the petition for a writ |of error coram nobis was revers- ed and writ ordered issued. During the cross examination, the following questions were asked:
 Q. Was you insane when you killed Garner?
 A. I had my mind.
 0. You knew perfectly well what you were doing?
 A. Yes, sir, but I did not know at that time that I had killed him. l was not trying to kill him and did not shoot to kill him."
 The Supreme Court decided that there was no evidence to show that J. o. Hale, of Lee county, was guilty of the offense charged against him that he had stolen twenty saw logs, valued at $80, from the Miller Lumber Company, and shipped them to Anderson-Tully Co.,, Memphis. /, The lower court properly direct ed a verdict for the substantial character to show that the de- fendant stole the logs and he could not be convicted on a mere surmise that he had taken the logs and shipped them to Ander- son-Tully Go. at Memphis"

Blind Staggers Epidemic.

Batesville, Jan. 12.-Reports from all sections of the county are to the effect that a great many horses are dying with blind staggers, and during the past week not less than a dozen fine animals have died. It is said there is no cure for the disease, but several whose horses have had it are trying with satisfactory results, a pre- scription furnished them by Dr. Cow. the State Veterinarian.
 The disease in this locality is not understood at all, because it is said to be caused by horses eating mouldy hay or corn, and there is none of that sort in this section, since there was no moisture during the crop gathering season. The disease is said to be infectious, and stocMnen are afraid it will be- come epidemic here.

The Work Of An lncendiary.

Special to Independent.
 Diaz. Jan. l2.-The large barn, together with a large B. mount Of feed and farming implements belonging to Walter F. Hurley, was destroyed by fire early Monday morning.
 The fire was first discovered by JohnOrr, telegraph operator, who gave the alarm, but the flames had gained such a head way that nothing could be say ed. About 800 bushels of ear corn, several tons of hay, a buggy, harness and about $500 worth of farming implement were destroyed, also ten tons of cottonseed. That the ban was set on fire by some person is not doubted as MT. HurleE had put two colts in one of the stalls before retiring, fastening the door securely, and these two colts had been turned out, evil dently by the party who started the fire.
 Every effort will be used to find out who the guilty party was. The loss was covered by
