NUMBER 80

Dr. E. P. Bledsoe, whose dismissal as superintendent Of the insane asy- lum was recently upheld by the su- preme court asked for rehearing.
 There were numerous assignments of alleged errors in the petition for a rehearing. One was that the sp- preme court had erred in not holding that a compromise agreement reach- ed between Dr. BIedsoe and the board during the first of the controversy was conformation and that it es- topped the board from renewing it's charges.
 The petition asked that it be given an oral argument before the entire court, as the personnel of the court recently had been changed. Justice T. H. Humphreys having been ap- pointed to succeed Justice w. F. Kirby.
 That the court erred in not holding the boards hearing of charges against Dr. Bledsoe did not constitute a real trial, but was a subterfuge, was one assignment, also that the court erred in holding that there was substantial evidence sufficient to sustain the con- viction of the appellee, and erred in not holding that the board acted ar bitrarily without legally sufficient evi- dence. and without any jurisdiction in fact The holding of the court i'll this case amounts to the adoption of the scIutilla rule of evidence, and leaves an officer whom the law says can be removed only for cause re- movable at the whim or caprice of the board.

BRADBURY JURY |S
 AGAIN DISCHARGED
FAILS TO AGREE, BEING SIX FOR ACQUITTAL AND SIX FOR
 CONVICTION.
DEPENDANT MAKES BOND
Accompanied by Brother-in-law Brad bury Immediately Starts for Vir- ginia-Opinion is That the Case
 Will Not be Tried Again.

Pine Bluff
 For the third time in less than year a mistrial has been entered in the case of the State of Arkansas against Thomas Shaw Bradbury, in dicted on a charge of murder in the first degree, following the assassina- tion on December 26. 1915, of r. G. Jenkins, wealthy planter and mer- chant, at the Jenkins home, in Sher- Till. The jury reported in the cir cult court at Pine Bluff that it was evenly divided on the question of the guilt and innocence of the accused, stood six to six, and was absolutely unable to agree upon verdict.
 The court then discharged the jury, and within few moments Bradbury was at liberty under bond of S2,500 and accompanied by his brotherin- law, Alex Browning, of Orange, Va, had started in an automobile for Lit tie Rock, thus to obyiate any diff culty that might be caused by hot headedness on the part of friends of Jenkins.
 Bradbury's parents and his sister, who have been here to attend the trial, departed later on the Cotton Belt for Memphis, where Bradbury will join them, and the entire party will proceed to Orange, Va, the Brad bury home.
 The opinion is generally held that there will not be another trial of this case, unless some new and vital evi- denee is discovered, which it is ad- mitted is not likely This opinion is strengthened by the small bond re quired to assure BrauDury's attend ance upon court in the future. IM ThG, state authorit will not dis n 7rka1N;r plans for; ;;5--7=-e.lturs in the case. y>.e Aeasil I The Bradbury case nas been he ta ' the most sensational ever tried in thC courts of Jefferson county At ths first trial the jury stood seven to fivt for conviction. In the second tria the jury stood eight to four for ac quittal, although on the frsl ballot fl | SJOOd elSnt to IOuF TOT cOnNlcLlOu The third trial resulted six to six Of the 36 jurors in the three trials 17 stood for conviction and 19 for ac qulttal
 It is generally believed that Mrs Jenkins, widow of the slain planter will never be brought to trial on the indictment of being accessory to the murder of Jenkins. She nas been at liberty under bond of S25,O00 and it is expected that at the least this bond will be reduced, even if no nolle prosecute is entered.

DAMAGE BY MOLES
In Most Cases, However, AMI

Use Of Specially Designed Trap Is
Most Effective Method Of Freeing
Infested cround-Three De-
vices Described.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The common garden mole. which,
because of its insectivorous habits, Is
In most situations much more benefi-
cial than harmful, is a decided nuis-
ance when IL invades a well-kept lawn
or newly planted seeded. Many re-
ports Of its damage to lawns are re-
ceived by the department. and also fire.
Quent complaints of destruction OF po-
tatoes, bulbs, and plants which Is
wrongly attributed to the mole. DAM
age to plants and tubers is generally
the work of pine mice or meadow mice.
usually the former. The burrowing
habits Of pine mice closely resemble
those of the mole. and they frequently
use mole tunnels to reach growing
plants. Pine mice may easily be
killed with poisoned grain. but as
moles will seldom take poisoned bats
of any kind. the main dependence for
destroying them Is traps, and consid-
cradle experience and judgment are
required to use them effectively.
The ordinary traps intended for rats
and other rodents are useless for TAX
ing moles. Special mole traps, Of
which there are on the market three
general types, are required. These
may be designated as the harpoon, the
scissor-jaw, and the chOker types,
marked a. b. and c, respectively, in
the accompanying illustration. Har-
pooh traps are intended to impale the
mole in the soil by spring-driven
spikes. ScissOr-jaw traps are to be
set astride the runway to grasp the
