 He would afford an interesting sub ject for student in psychology this big, boyish- looking son of the soil who is admittedly is guilty of one of the most bloody crimes in the annals of Arkansas, who killed four persons and shot at a fifth.
 His countenance is intelligent, his conversation shows that he possesses more intellect than the average man of his type, his politeness and courte- sy contradict the brutality that one must associate with his fearful crime and there is no hint of sullenness in his manner-only an unyielding re- serve and determination to keep his counsel.
 He is tall and we'll built with great powerful shoulders and the lean, sin ewy form of one who has lived his life out of doors. His shock of tousled hair and his three days growth of beard alone give him an unpreposses- ing appearance. One gets the inn pression that great affection, turn ed into great hate, must have filled this son of the soil with mad prime val passion to strike and kill.
 Deputy Sheriff Earl of Morrilton brought the prisoner to Little Rock unshackled. It was a rather quaint sense of justice that impelled the off, cer to do this, as he explained it.
 'If he had enough confidence in me to place himself under my protection, then l thought l ought not to put the shackles on him, " he said
 With the same spirit of fair play, Deputy Earl did not ask a question of the prisoner and the latter volun- teered no information as to the crime.

The scrip" is good only for the payment of intra- state freight charges, but will be the same as cash to the city plant and Supt. Leverett states that it will pay the freight charges on fuel for the plant for about six months.

BELL REALIZES HE

MAN WHO COMMITTED WHOLE SALE MURDER, IS UNUSU-

Arkansas Gazette, April 2S.)

WISH l was QeaQ.
 This was the plaint of Sam Bell, 2S, the Conway county cattle buyer, who, Monday night, shot and killed his father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and her husband at their Conway county home.
 Bell is locked in the Pulaski coun- ty jail. He surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Earl at Morrilton early yes- terday morning, having walked ten miles, barefooted, from Solgohachie, the scene of the wholesale murder.
 Bell is not of the common criminal type. He is intelligent, speaks cor rect English and although he refused to talk of his crime to Gazette re- porter at the jail yesterday after noon, he spoke very courteously and made it plain that he did not wish to give offense.
 Asked about his case, Bell hesita- ted a minute, then replied in a quiet, soft-spoken way:
 Mister, with all due courtesy to you, l have nothing to say"
 Asked if he intended to offer any defense, he pondered for nearly minute, and then replied:
 q realize your motives in asking the questions, but I haven't anything to say about the case"
 He spent the day lying on cot in his cell and refused to talk to any one. But he realizes the fate that is in store for him. Once during the day while he was being questioned, he arose from his cot, paced nervous ly up and down his cell, then sank back upon his cot, exclaiming, q wish was dead!"
 A little later another prisoner came to the door of his cell and attempted to question Bell about his case. He received no reply until he asked, Do you think you can beat your case?'
 q don't want to beat the case" re-

RAILROAD ENGINES
 USING CITY WAFER

On account of muddy water In both Palarm and Cadron creeks, backed into those streams by the present riss of the Arkansas river, the Iron Moun- tain railroad has had to shut down their pumping stations at Palarm and Gleason and temporary arrange ments have been made to fill become tive engine tanks with city water ct Conway. Hose connected with fire hydrants is being used to fill the tanks.
 Station Agent J. w. James has been instructed to obtain estimates from the municipal plant as to . permsn- ent water supply for engines at this place and it is probable that . con- tract between the city and the rail- road will be made, thus making un- necessary the pumping stations now being maintained at Palarm and Glea- son. It is stated that the superheat- CTS now used on most of the loco- motives make it possible for trains to make longer runs without taking water than was formerly the case.

EXEMPT PROPERTY
 PUT ON TAX BOOKS COMPLIES WITH NEW ACT
ASSESSOR JOHNSON PLACES VALUATIONS ON CHURCHES
 AND COLLEGES.

Complying with an act of the last legislature, introduced by Represen- tative c. E. Condray, Assessor Aus tin Johnson has just placed upon the real estate assessment book of the county valuations of certain church and denominational college property in the city of Conway. Such proper ty is exempt from general taxes, but IS liable for taxation for improvement district purposes. Until the new law was passed, however, this class of property was never placed upon the assessment books and for this reason there have been no official figures as its valuation in determining whether or not majority in value of a given improvement district is signed to pe- tltions favoring the organization of such districts. No taxes will be ex- tended against the valuations assess ed by Mir. Johnson, the figures being given only as basis for improvement districts.
 The assessments in Conway were made as follows:
