LAWSON CASE is
AGAIN SUBMITTED
(From Mondays Daily Press

(From Mondays Daily Press)
The motion of the state asking
for rehearing in the Ed Lawson
case was today submitted to the
supreme court, but no decision was
handed down by that tribunal.
Lawson was convicted in the
Eastern district of Clay county, up
on a change of venue from Greene
county, on en- indictment charging
him with having secured money
from Cicero Deakin by false pre-
tense. The jury gave Lawson three
years in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court and the case was re-
versed and remanded because the
evidence Of the chief prosecuting
witness tended to show the alleged
false pretense was practiced in one
way, while the indictment charged
it in different manner.
Subsequently the state filed a
motion asking the supreme court to
reopen the case, the state alleging
the court had overlooked evidence
that showed the verdict of the Jury
was in line with the allegations
contained in the indictment and
with the testimony given by the
witnesses. The arguments to sup
port this contention were made to
the court today and it is expected
a decision will be handed down next
Monday.

w b. Morgan has returned from
Northwest Arkansas. 1t had been
twenty-six years since he had seen
the old homestead, and there was
little left to remind him of the
scenes of his childhood. Only a.
few persons remained that he once
knew, and even the surface of the
land seemed greatly changed.
Sharp Dunnaway, citizen at-large
of Arkansas, state representative of
the Arkansas Gazette, and known
personally to more men, women,
children and good coon dogs than
any other man in the state, spent
the forenoon in Paragould shaking
hands with friends, spinning fresh
yarns and looking after the subscrip-
ton end of his paper.
Chief of Police Pete Houston this
morning put SLEEPY" Hansford in
Jail to serve cut ten dollar fine
for vagrancy. When SLEEPY" was
arraigned in court several days ago
he promised to leave Paragould if
Judge Bratton would not order him
to Jail. He went to the country
four miles west of Paragould and
remained away three or four days,
returning to the city yesterday.
Late yesterday afternoon while
Mr. and Mrs. W. o. Poole were driv-
ing their car north on Second
street near the postoffice two wo-
men, one named Mrs Smith residing
in North Paragould, and the other
named Mrs. Murphy, residing on
South Fifth street, attempted to
cross the street in front of the car
and before the emergency brakes
could be applied the women were
struck by the machine and knocked
down. Mrs. Smith sustained
slight scalp wound, while Mrs. Muir
ply escaped uninjured.

he had to look three times before
he could make himself believe this
was really Paragould. The paved
streets, handsome new stores, fine
hotel and the general metropolitan
appearance of the city are such
change over old conditions that Mr..
Potter for time could not realize
this was in fact Paragould.

An Eskimo youth named Harold charge of larceny from a dwelling and will be given a hearing in the com missioners court this afternoon. It seems that Harold, who is a youngster of about sixteen, recently arrived in town from the Kougarok to visit his grandmother, who resides in the city.
 and was so overcome with the allure
 ments of city life that he was unable to resist taking the sum of twelve dol lars and a half which his relative kept Tn trunk. With this munificent sum,
 Harold proceeded to bedeck himself
 with the splendor of Solomon, spend ing practically all of the money on a complete new outfit. of white mans clothes from cap to shoes. Having a lew cents left Harold, invested it in | some candy and other eatables accord ing to the story told by the boy he distracted the money from the trunk and came up town to get few of the
 good things which he saw displayed
 in the shop windows. He admits that
 everything looked good to him as this
 is his first visit to the haunts of the
 white man. but despite the superlative attractions he did not spend the money
 the first time but returned 1t to the
 trunk. Later on he was again tempt
 ed and this time he fell. The grand
 mother made complaint, it is thought,
 believing that the government would
 restore the money with the result that
 Harold has landed in the tolls of the law.

An attempt to stop the beach miners working on the beach near the Stan dard Oil Company yesterday created considerable excitement among the men who follow that line of mining. According to the story told by some of the men, an attempt. to stop mining operations at that point was made by Powell, the dredge man, under the claim that he was the owner of the beach through having title to the ad-
 joining property. Some of the men state that Powell claimed to have a
 patent to the property and claimed that his patent rights extended to the waters edge. The men have generally
 refused to be driven away from their occupation and they are evidently right as it is a matter of court decision that
 no one can claim permanent title to
 mining ground along the beach below the meander lines, which Is something like sixty feet above the water line If it is remembered rightly this was one of the earliest decisions of the Nome courts having been handed down by Judge Moves early in 1900. Since that date there Is no record of any dis pute arising as a result of beach opera tions.
