TWO CLAIM HOUND
 DOG: JURY HANGS
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 A jury of six good and true men were unable, after a trial lasting all day in the court of Justice G. M. Easterwood yesterday, to decide whether certain yellow-spotted hound dog belongs to Express Agent Ben Bradley or Rev. George Davis, colored There were five carpenters on the jury, but they were unable to construct verdict, as one of the jur- ors was possessed of an abiding con- viction that the dog belonged to the white man, while the others were equally strong in the opinion that the animal was the property of the negro. The dog himself, which served as Ex- hibit A throughout the trial, lazily scratched fleas in the crowded court room and seemed utterly unconcern- ed while counsel for the plaintiff elo- quently pleaded for him to be turned over to the white man, and the attor- ney for the defendant with equal for ensic ability urged that the jury de- liver him to the negro.
 It appears that MT. Bradley pur- chased the dog in Russellville and when he moved to Conway a few days ago the animal got into the posses sion of Davis, who claimed that it had been stolen from him and car ried away several months ago. The plaintiff brought replevin suit to re- cover the dog, which he said was valued at $20. Numerous expert wit nesses were introduced by both sides. One of the witnesses testified that he had hunted with a dog exactly like the one on exhibition, which he said he had borrowed from the negro. Quite a discussion was had as to the quality and timbre of the animals voice, and the witness testified that if he (the dog) had short, keen bark he was not the dog with which he (the witness) had hunted, as that dog had a long, coarse bark. But the animal himself gently declined to in- troduce his voice in evidence, and that was another matter left to the con- lecture of the jury. The case was re set for Monday, February 21, the court appointing a guardian for the hound until his ownership is finally determined.

TWO TRAGIC ACCIDENTS
 IN VAN BUREN COUNTY
pApER REPORTS DEATH OF ONE WOMAN AND INJURY
 OF ANOTHER.

Two tragic accidents, resulting in tho death of one woman and the prob ably fatal injury of another, are re- norted in the following clipping from th;s weeks Clinton Democrat:
 Aunt Jennie' Henley, the aged companion of "Uncle Sam" Henley, we'll known pioneer citizens living in Grove township, in the western part of this county, for more than two score years, died Wednesday night, February 2, the result of burns sus- tained that morning. On the morn ing in question the men folks were engaged in killing hogs in front of the house, leaving Aunt Jennie" seated in a rocker in front of the hearth. A neighbor approaching the place observed smoke issuing from the roof An investigation resulted in the discovery of a burning bed with the apparent lifeless body of Mrs. Henley lying thereon. From incoher- ent remarks by Mrs. Henley, during q period of consciousness while being cdfrl6G lIOiil Illc looiil, iI 10 SShSAe e'i'J supposed that she fell from her chair into the fireplace, and her clothing catching afire sought to eXtinguish them by covering herself with the bed clothing. For sometime Mrs. Henley, who was about 70 years of age, had been suffering with some sort of trouble affecting her heart and it is believed she was seized with one of these spells" before falling into the fire.
 Wednesday of last week Mrs. Mor- ton Goats, comparatively young woman living near Copeland postof- flee, met with an accident that has al- ready cost her the loss of one of her lower limbs and may yet result fatal ly. At the time of the accident Mrs. Goats was riding on a sawlog with her husband. The team driven by MT. Goats became unruly and tilted the wagon, causing the log to roll off. Mrs. Goats was caught beneath the log her limb being badly broken and horribly mangled. Several hours passed before medical aid could reach her. Drs. Hamilton, Hunter and Hol- loway responded to a summons and after examination found amputation

AUDIT OF COUNTY
 BOOKS ENDOWED

Morrilton, Feb. 12.-Acting upon a petition presented by Mayor J. A. Frisby for the residents of Morrilton and taxpayers of Conway county, Circuit Judge A. B. Priddy February 5 granted a temporary restraining rder and an injunction was served
 ate yesterday upon the expert ac- countants, H. W. McDermott and w.. M. Martin of the Leathem Company, Memphis, preventing further audit of the books of county and city officials.
 The restraining order is in effect until it can be heard upon its merits in circuit court, which convenes here the first week in March. In this pc tition Mayor Frisby says "he does not believe that there is any necessity for audit of the books of the county, and he believes that such audit at this time will be a useless expense to the county, especially in view of the fact that the county judge has select ed non-residents of the state and men about whom he says he knows noth ing"
 In the petition filed before Judge Rhodes previously in the matter of employing expert accountants and from which affidavit of appeal were made, Mayor Frisby said the resi- dents of Morrilton object upon the ground that the books had been re- gently examined and reported upon by the county commissioners of ac- counts and that no irregularity was found, and that the proceedings would mean an enormous and unnec- essary expenditure of money.
 McDermott and Martin were en- ployed February 1 and on February 8 filed claim in court for $350 for seven days work. This the county judge allowed, but an appeal has been taken. There the matter rests.

FACTS VS.. THEORY.

In connection with the Clerk and
Recorders office.
An investigation of the books and
records of the office of the County
Clerk and Recorder will show that
soon after DR.. Gibbs took office in
January 1916 the recording fees were
reduced approximately one-third. Be-
ginning April 1, 1915 the County Com
missioners decided that the increased
business of the County necessitated
monthly instead of quarterly meetings.
This change of the County Commits
sioners added very materially to the
work of the Clerks office Notwith-
standing the reduction in fees and the
additional work. the business of the
office has been handled without In
crease of the regular allowance for
extra help, over previous years. More
than this there was turned over to the
County as excess earnings, of this Of
flee for the year 1915, nearly 100000.
For an efficient and economical ad-
ministration of the County Clerk and
Recorders office. you should vote for
