ORPHAN IS KILLED
 BY DYNAMITE CAP

Morrilton, May 5.-Leonard Leard, nine, an inmate of the Arkansas Chil- drens Home here, was killed yester- day by the explosion of dynamite cap. He had carried the cap under a tree on the home grounds, placed it on a stone and struck it with an ax. A piece of the cap entered his breast and went through his heart. He ran few steps and fell dead.
 It was reported that the cap was one left over from supply which the uperintendent of the institution, E. 5. billiard, had used in blasting some time ago. As result, MT. Dillard was arrested by City Marshal Wells, charged with criminal negligence. He furnished bond for his appearance at a preliminary examination.

MRS. HARROD WINS
 S65,000 JUDGMENT
NO APPEAL 10 BE TAKEN
J. E. MADDING ALLOWS JUDG- MENT BY DEFAULT IN
 BIG SUIT.

No appeal will be taken by J. E. Madding from the decision of a jury in the second division of the Pulaski circuit court, in which Mrs. Lucy E. Harrod of Little Rock, formerly of Conway, was given default judgment for $65,000 damages yesterday, ac- cording to report from Pine Bluff. the defendant home. Mrs. Harrod, widow of the late James H. Harrod, asked for damages for the death of her husband, who was run down by an automobile driven by Madding July II, 1913. The judgment included S5,0OO compensatory and $15,O00 puni- tive damages.
 Judge Guy Fulk was engaged in the trial of another case yesterday, and Vincent Miles was elected special judge to try the damage suit. A jury was empaneled and the usual call was made for the defendant, but he did not respond. The case was given to the jury.
 Madding was tried three times in the first division Pulaski circuit court on charge of second degree murder for MT. Harrod's death. The first two trials ended when the juries could not agree. In the third trial, Madding was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to three months in the pen Iitentiary. His case was appealed to the supreme court of Arkansas and is now pending.
 Madding employed no attorneys to fight the damage suit. It is said that he has no property which can be lev jed upon to obtain payment of the judgment and it is believed he intends to leave Pine Bluff.

SEEKS 10 ENJ0IN
 STATE AID FUND
EOMONSON FILES SUIT
ATTACKS THE CONSTITUTION ALITY OF THE SCHOOL
 MEASURE.

Little Rock, May 5.-Senator w. o. Edmonson of Stone county Tuesday filed suit in the Pulaski circuit court to enjoin the state auditor and treas urer from issuing and paying war rants on the S50,000 appropriation made by the last legislature for state aid to high schools.
 The bill attacks the constitutional ity of the act on two grounds. The first, that the legislature cannot make an appropriation to continue for more than two years, and the other is that the legislature has not the power to divert the common school fund to high schools in the state.
 The lower house of the last legis- lature passed bill to repeal the act for state aid to high schools, but the measure was killed by the senate. Some of the best legal talent in Little Rock declared at the time that the legislature exceeded it's authority in making appropriations, as the act was clearly unconstitutional

SPRINGFIELD MAN IS
 SHOT FROM AMBUSH
MULE SAVES HIS LIFE
LEE BARTLETT, CHARGED WITH WAYLAYING JOHN FER
 GUSON OF SPRINGFIELD.

Morrilton, May 5.-A mules in- stinct that danger was near, saved the life of it's owner, John Ferguson, a we'll known farmer who lives near Springfield, in this county, according to officers who yesterday brought here and placed in jail Lee Bartlett, about 20, who is charged with attempting to murder Ferguson.
 Ferguson was leading a mule along the highway late Monday afternoon when suddenly the mule snorted, leap ed and plunged wildly, throwing Fer guson to the ground. As he fell, a person concealed in the brush by the roadside fired both barrels of a shot gun at him at close range. One of the charges entered Ferguson's arm, infiicting wounds from which he will recover. Ferguson declares that had the mule not thrown him to the ground his head would have been blown off.
 Investigation showed that the would-be murdered had carefully built a screen of brush which would conceal him from the view of persons passing along the road, but still would give him a perfect view of the highway. Also he had cut runways through the thick brush so he could make hasty get |away.
 Bartlett is under indictment, charg- ed with having destroyed mail boxes. Ferguson had testified at a prelimi- nary hearing that he saw Bartlett at this work of depreciation. He was the only important witness against the youth. This, the officers believe, furnished the motive for the attempt ed murder.
 A special term of court has been called for next week to try Bartlett for destroying the mail boxes and it is believed he may also be tried on the new charge of assault with intent to kill.
 Several years ago Bartlett's father was shot and killed from ambush A neighbor, named Zeigler, was arrest ed, charged with the crime, but was acquitted.

Seats at the Grand Theatre for Sat urday evening, when Miss Louise Cox, member of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company of New York, will sing for the benefit of the pipe organ fund of the First Baptist Church, were put on sale at the Florence Drug Company this morning, and the rapid early sale of tickets indicates that a full house will greet the former Con- way young woman who achieved such a notable distinction in her profes- sion.
 Just previous to the opening of the Metropolitan season last fall Miss Cox sang in number of northern and eastern cities and the following are 3 few of the press comments she re- ceived:
 Miss Cox has naive manner and the most exact enunciation We have ever heard; no word of her songs was lost and she added to this precision a sky clear soprano voice, which brought the lump into your own throat Grand Rapid News, October p.
 Miss Cox proved a delight. Her voice and singing seemed akin with her acting and her operatic manner generally. She sings with agility and with voice of lovely quality Her virtues are of the sort that give im- mediate pleasure Pittsburgh Dis patch, October 3I.

z OFFICIALS Give COUNTY
$4,000 OF 1914 receipts
Register of Wills Roy g. Danner and
Prothonotary Henry F. Holler To-
day Closed the Years Business and
Settled With the District

Through the Offices of Roy c. Danner,
Register of Wills, and Henry Il. holier,
Prothonotary, Dsuphin county officials
who to-day compiled their annual re.
ports, tine eounty's strong box will be
swelled by nearly $40 900, that money
representing the county s share of the
office receipts taken in by those officials
during the year just closed.
The Prothonotary to-day turned over
to tine County Treasury check for
$2,210.24, that being the fines, jury
fees and costs collected by him during
the quarter ending January l, so that
the total amount ne gave over to the
county as 1914 receipts was S9,o12.77.
The eounty's share of the excess fees
received by Register Danner are not
near so large as those of the Prothono-
tary, yet Mr.. Danner s business is com
paratively small since his years work
was confined to probating 1877 wills,
granting letters of administration on
15S estates and receiving 166 accounts
of trustees,> guardians, etc.
The 1914 business at the Register s
Office was about on the average and.
while it may be considered small when
compared with the reports of other
county officials, that does not detraet
from the Registers good business rec
ord. In the three years he has been in
office Mr.. Danner has accepted 490 ac-
counts and advertised the same accord
ing to law at a cost of $65S.5S. The
cost of advertising proportionate-
ly the same number of accounts in
years gone by, the county records show.
was s1.275, so that the Register in
three years has effected saving, as
he considers, of approximately $621.42.
His annual allowance for clerk hire.
the Register claims, is $110 less than
was paid during former administrations,
so that in three years he has saved an
additional $3.50, making the total saw
ing to the county, according to his cal
culation. something like ss51.42. The
excess fees paid into the county by
Mr.. Danner during the three years he
has been Register of Wills amounts to
S1.104.56.
The county s share of fees from the
1914 revenues exceeds that Of 1918,
which was s229.09, by s125.SS. The
Register 5 receipts during 1914 amount
ed to $4,221.S7. OF that money $213.O6
was spent in advertising accounts,
500 for attorneys salary, $1,000 for
deputy register salary and $4,000 for
the Registers IS salary, making the to-
tai expense sS,51S,06 and thus leaving
the excess fees total $70S.51. One
half of that amount, or $S54.42, is
paid the county and the remainder is
shared by the Register.
The Prothonotary' return to the
county represents criminal court cases
in which fines and costs were imposed,
the return acting as a reimbursement
to the county for money paid out as
witness fees, constables and justices
costs and jurors fees.
