DOCUMENTS THAT
 ARE Al YEARS0LD
Newark Man Has Documents That are Probably the Old est In the County.

]. D. Sturdivant of this place has in his possession some re- ceipts and other documents that are probably the oldest papers of this kind in existence in Independence county.
 The oldest is a receipt bear ing date of June 6, 1774, and is therefore Al years old. The receipt was given by Samuel Forgey to Wm. Sharp, who was q relative of MT. Sturdivant' S father, and is for the sum of seven pounds, sixteen shillings and ten pence, which was Mir. Forgey's share of an estate of which MT. Sharp was admins trator.
 He also has an order issued by the court of Franklin coun- ty, Tennessee, dated in 1913. The order was issued to John Sturdivant authorizing him to take list of the poll tax pay CTS and the taxable property in a certain portion of Franklin county, and is signed by Abra- ham Rupell, clerk of the court.
 Another is a tax receipt is sued in 1922. It is written on plain blank paper and contains only the following wording, which is quite different from the present-day tax receipts:
 Received of John Sturdivant in full of his State and County Taxes for the year1922, ,$7.97." "
 SAMUEL HANDLY.
 He also has a list of road hands apportioned to his fath- CT, John c. Sturdivant, as road overseer of Road District No. , of White River township in this county for the year 1861. The list was issued by James Rutherford, justice ofthe peace, and contains the following names: Thomas J. Eaves, RIM Mullin, J. Huff, George Hale, John Clark, John Arbrough, Wash Sturch, James Tender son, Frank Cash, John Fetzer, S2meul Fetzer, Benjamin Mag ness, Wesley Sturch, Albert Lock, William Britain, Ewin Clark and John Sturdivant.

Supreme Court Clerk
 Pays $500 Shortage

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-More than $500 was paid into the state treasury by D. P. English clerk of the Supreme Court, as result of errors discovered in his accounts by the legisla- tive Investigating committee, according to the report of the committee filed with Gov. Hays yesterday. The report includes a letter written to Gov. Hays, by Mr. English August ?, in which Mr. Eng fish admitted the errors and indicated he would like to set tie all of his indebtedness be- fore the report of the com mittee should be published. The report says that until 1915 no excess fees had been paid into the treasury by the court clerk for four years. MT. Eng fish explained this to the com mittee by saying that the business, in the way of fees, has been better during the last two quarters than at any time during the four years.

CONLEY STILL AFTER
 ALLEGED KIDNAPER
Man Who Caused Arrest of
 Horse Trader Here Stiii in . Pursuit of Imaginary Villain

|. L. Conley, the old man who caused the arrest of Jim Ersher, a horse trader, here about a month ago, is in the limelight again.
 Conley walked into Van Bu- ren last Sunday and put the officers wise to the fact that he had walked all the way from Newport in search of a man who had kidnapped his daugh- ter.
 Conley is now telling a diff ferent story to the one he told here when he caused the ar rest of Ersher, the alleged kid naper. He now says that while he and his daughter were liv- ing oh their little farm, a stranger drove in one night near his place and camped. The next morning Conley went to town to attend to some busi- ness, and when he returned his 16-year old daughter, Anna, was gone. He made an inveSti- gation and found that his daughter had been persuaded to leave with the stranger. Con- ley at once set out afoot hunt ing for the man and his daugh- ter.
 When Ersher was arrested here by Deputy Sheriff James Vaughan, he declared that he was guilty of no crime and had made no attempts to kidnap the girl or mistreat her in any way. The girl corroborated his statement, and when the case was tried at Batesville Ersher was released there be- ing no evidence on which to hold him. After his release Err sher went to Joplin, Mo-, and the girl went to the Hutchin- son neighborhood in the south western part of the county where it is said that she has relatives, and it is supposed she is still in that community.

75 Tons of Gold IS
 Shipped to America

New York, Aug. IA spe- cial train carrying $52,00O,00O worth of gold and securities which had been shipped by Bank of England from London by the way of Halifax, N. S., to this city, arrived here to- day.
 The train was composed of several steel cars and was guarded by 40 armed men.
 Of the total shipment $35,- ID00,000 was believed to be in the form of American double eagles. The weight of the gold shipment was 75 tons. It is said to be the largest ship Iment of gold ever sent across the Atlantic Ocean in one vessel.
 It was brought over in a British battleship, which was conveyed through the war zone and across the ocean by a cruiser and a flotilla of tor pedo boat destroyers to guard against an attack of German submarines. The cost of trans ferring it from London to New York was estimated today to have been $250,000.
 Robert E. M. Cowie, vice president and general manager aof the American Express Com any, said that the transfer was the greatst risk ever taken by Iian express company. Eight policemen were sent to meet the train here and guarded the gold until it was delivered at the sub-treasury.
 J. P. Morgan & Co.,, were the exchange situation as the the consignees. The purpose of the transfer of the gold was understood to be to reinforce British credit and to improve English pound sterling has has depreciated of late. The securities are presumed to be the basis for further ad- vances to the British govern ment.

FILE EXCEPTIONS TO
 ANNUAL SETTLEMENT
That Collector Arnold Handled Scrip Illegally and Is Due County Big Sum.

Exceptions to the annual settlement of county collector, Burton Arnold, have been filed in the County Court of Inde- pendence County by T. J. Walbert, of Batesville, as a taxpayer of Independence County, in which it is alleged l that on the face of his settle ment he held the county funds for a period of more than one hundred and eighty days, and seeking to charge him, in his settlement, for the statutory penalty of five per cent for each period of fifteen days same were withheld from the County Treasurer and the coun- Ity depositary, and also for in terest lost to the county by reason of same being with held. It is also alleged that MT. Arnold paid large amounts to the treasurer in county scrip and warrants, whereas he collect ! ed said amounts in currency. procuring county warrants at a depreciated price and turn ing same in on his settlement, although the law rovides that he shall settle '.in kind.' and seeking to hold him liable for the difference in value between the currency received and the warrants which he settled.
 1t is alleged that he collected S84,953.34 and held same for twelve periods of fifteen days each, whereby he has become liable for a penalty of 50 per cent, or S52,777.11; that he has defeated the county of in- terest on the same amount for the same period of time, aggre- gating 1,804.77; and that he discharged $20,00O of his in- l Idebtedness to the county in county scrip of the value of I90c on the dollar, or at loss to the county of S20,000
 Attorneys for the eXceptors say that there can be no such liability as is sued for, as a
 great deal of funds collected
 by Mr. Arnold were paid dur ling the latter part of the 180
 day period, but since his re-
 port shows this liability, he should be required to show that
 he is not in default.
 The treasurer'S settlement shows that nothing was turned
 over to him by MT. Arnold until
 February 20th, or some 47
 days after he commenced col lecllilg that the next payment
 was made to him on March
 25th, after which payments
 were made at intervals until
 May 27th, after which no pay ments were made until July 6,
 when something like $19,00O
 was turned over.
 The case is being tried in County Court before Judge
 Waldrip at Batesville today. The case had not been finish
 ed when The Journal went to press at 4:30 p. m. and it is
 not likely that a decision will
 be reached before Friday.
