COURT TURNED DOWN
PROSECUTORS AGREEMENT

Conway, July ga sentence of
five years in the penitentiary was
imposed rpon Frank Chamness, for
mer convict, indicted for the at
tempted murder of Hiram McAllis-
ter, near Enola, May so, in the
Faulkner county circuit court yes
treday morning after he had
pleaded guilty to the charge.
Judge Trimble in pronouncing
sentence overruled an agreement
between defendants counsel and the
prosecution for a one-year sentence.
Admitting his guilt before the
court, Chamness attempted a de-
fense by alleging that McAlljster
and others of the settlement were
lined up against him and that his
act in shooting McAllister was a
matter of preservation.
Judge Trimble reprimanded him
sharply for trying to take the law
into his own hands and told him
that he deserved the full 21 years
prescribed by law. Chamness will
begin his sentence the latter part
of the week. He had completed a
one-year term in January before
getting into the present trouble.

Fire Destroys Justice Home.
(From Fridays Daily Press)

The two story residence of b.
F. Justice, located on West Court
street, opposite the plant of the
Para gould Brick Company, was de-
stroyed by fire at twelve thirty this
afternoon. 1t is said the flames
started from a defective flue and
had gained considerable headway
before discovered. The building is
nearly a quarter of mile outside
of the old water district and the
fire department had to connect
With a plug at Seventh street to
get a water supply. Later the wa
ter was turned into the new main
running out West Court street and
the department attached the hose
to one of the new fire plugs near
the Justice home. However, by
this time the flames had enveloped
the structure and there was no
chance of saving it. Practically all
of the furniture and household ef-
fects were taken out of the build
ing. Mr. Justice carried 81, 400 in
surarce on the building and $500
on the household goods. His loss
is estimated at $4,000.

Little Rock, July 29.-Testing
the Going anti-liquor law in Fort
Smith might have proved costly for
J. E. Hickey had not Governor
Hays relieved him of paying the
fine imposed upon him for the vio-
lation. Hickey, in the spring of
1914, sold liquor illegally in Fort
Smith to test the law. He was
fined $50, and the supreme court
sustained the judgment. Recent
ly efforts were made to have Gov.
Hays relieve him of paying the
fine. The proclamation was issued
Tuesday. The trial judge and
prosecuting attorney recommended
the proclamation be issued. The
governor also relieved George Dri-
foos of paying fines aggregating
$500 for selling liquor in Jones'
boro on condition that he return
to Tennessee. Charles H. Kinney,
also of Jonesboro, was relieved of
paying a similar amount for con-
viction on the same charge on con-
dition if he is again convicted of
selling liquor he pay the fine. Both
men had been in Jail since Novem

WILL ELECTROCUTE
BECKER TOMORROW
New Trial Denied by Supreme
Court Justice Ford-Many Pleas
For Mercy.

New York, July 29.-Justice
John Ford of the supreme court
last night denied new trial to
Charles Becker, the former police
commissioner under sentence Of
death for instigating the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler.
This decision means that Becker
must be alectrocuted on Friday.
Becker, in the death house at
Sing Sing, while awaiting anxious
ly Justice Ford's decision, was said
to be preparing new statement
to be made public only after his
death. 1t was said that this was
reassertion of his innocence.
Justice Ford received a number
of letters yesterday regarding the
Becker case. All but one urged
that the former police lieutenant
be granted a third trial. The JUS
tice also received a number of tele-
grams urging mercy for Becker. ;.
A prominent Brooklyn clergyman,
whose name was withheld, wrote
that he knew Becker and his family
we'll, and that although be had no
doubt Becker was guilty of grating
and may have been implicated in q
plot to kidnap Herman Rosenthal,
the murdered gambler, the minis
ter said he had certain information
which gave him every reason to be-
lieve Becker had no part in the
actual murder

bridge spanning Little Red river,
near Heber Springs. for the pur-
pose of investigating the report that
one side of the bridge had slipped
several inches on it's foundation

came here.
The structure is made of large
wire cables suspended by the aid
of concrete bases on each side of
the stream. 1t was found that on
ly few strands of the wire had

ANOTHER DRAINAGE
DITCH Is PROPOSED
G.. H. Powell and Others Hope tx
Establish District on West Side
of the Ridge.
(From Mondays Daily Press)


G. H. Powell and others. prop
erty owners in the Cache bottoms,
have just filed a petition and bond
for the establishment of a drainage
district which begins at a point
slightly west of Lorado, runs in a
southwesterly direction approxi-
mately two and one-half miles, and
which will drain about three thou
sand acres of exceptionally good
land. The ditch as projected will
be cut to the Craighead county line,
where, according to information re-
ceived by those interested in the
Improvement, it will be picked up
by land owners in Craighead county
and pushed to the river. 1t is eX-
pected that $4,000 or $4,000 will
be needed to complete the Greene
county end of the ditch. An exact
description of the improvement is
as follows:
Beginning at the northeast cor
ner of Section 27, Township l6
North, Range East, Greene Coun-
ty. Arkansas, running thence west
one-half mile and fractional
quarter thereof; thence in a south
westerly direction through the
northwest quarter and the north
west quarter of the southwest quar-
ter, Section 27, to the northwest
corner of the southwest quarter of
the southwest quarter of Section
27, said Township and Range;
thence due south on the section
line between Sections 81 and 2S
and Sections 33 and "a, a distance
of one-half mile; thence in
westerly direction to Gum Pond, a
distance of one-quarter of a mile;
thence in southwesterly direction
with said Gum Pond to the county
line between Greene and Craighead
counties, at or near the southwest
corner of Section 33, said Town
ship and Range.
J. P. Cathey. John E. Newberry
and R. M. Cothren have been ap-
pointed viewers. They will make
an examination of the proposed
route, determine whether or not
| it is practicable, and report to the
county court at its next regular
meeting. C. E. Waddell is named
as engineer. Parties interested in
the projected have been notified to
appar before the county court on
August 7th and make protest, II
dissatisfied with the undertaking.
In view of the fact, however, that
the ditch is proposed for the pur-
pose of catching the overflow from
part of the western side OF Crow
VS. Ridge just at the foot of the
hills, thus preventing it from
spreading to valuable lands lying
between the ridge and the river,
it is not expected that any serious
objection will be filed
