The jury in the case against Walk CT V. Powell of Little Rock brought in a verdict of guilty, assessing his punishment as one day in jail and a fine of S100. Attorneys for MT. Powell immediately announced that the case would be appealed to the Supreme Court. Members of the jury stated that for several ballots they stood seven to five and the verdict was a compromise. MT. Powell gave out the following statement:
 "As will be seen from the daily press. verdict of guilty was return ed against me. The charge against me in the case is a mere misdemeanor. When the case was tried 24 jurors were called to the box and asked touching their qualifications as jurors. The names of the "A were then placed in box and IS names were drawn and the list submitted to the attor- neys for the state. Defendants and prosecution were each given the right to strike three names from the list. While this method is doubtless legal. there are probably not two instances in the Pulaski Circuit Court where this method has been resorted to by the prosecution. By this metod the defendant was denied the right of the states firGt passing upon the juror proposed.
 Since the trial of the case 1t has been developed that the foreman of the jury was by marriage a cousin of the prosecuting attorney. This case will be appealed to the Supreme Court and passed upon by that tribunal, and until that court shall have passed upon the verdict ask my friends and other fairminded people to withhold their opinions.
 'eThis is political fight, and before it is ended others no doubt will be dragged into it, when the history of Arkansas politics from all angles will no doubt have been thoroughly venti- lated.
 'T am guilty of no wrongdoing in connection with any of the past acts of the Arkansas General Assemblies and cheerfully take upon the fight for the future vindication of myself and friends. I ask my friends throughout the state and elsewhere and the peo- pie of Arkansas to be content to wait until the last chapter in the history of this entire affair shall have been written before finding a verdict, and if that is done I have no fears as to what it will be-"

LOCAL BOARD GIVES OUT DISTRICT QUOTA
400 Men Will Be Examined for | Frst Draft Army
i1,OOO MEN WILL BE CALLED
John Ventres Home on Furlough- i Will Proba bly, Sail for France Soon E OIde Swimming Hole.

It was announced this morning by Benjamin I. Miller, of Avon, one of the me bers of the exemption board for the fifth senatorial district, that ten- tative plans were nearly completed and the selection of men for Uncle Sams first draft army would take place in a few days.
 At the present the local board is occupied in compiling the list of those whose names were first drawn at Washington and the order in which they will be notified to appear for physical examination and to put in their claims for exemption if they so wish.
 According to statistics the registra = ton in the district was 5,339. This will mean that the towns of Farming ton, Avon, Burlington, West Hartford, Berlin, Plainville, Southington and Bristol, taken as a whole, will have to furnish 400 men to aid in the fight for dem ocracy.
 It is impossible to determine how many men will be taken from each town, but it is known that a sufficient number will be examined to fill the allotment of the entire district and 1000 men will be called for examina- ton. Until the designated quota is reached and 400 men physically fit for service have been obtained, each man will have to appear before the exemp- ton board in the order in which he was drawn. Notification of the time and place at which he shall appear will be sent to each man. However, the non-receipt of the notification is no excuse for not appearing before the board at specified time. Each man should keep in touch with the authori- ties and find out when he should put in an appearance. Those who do not respond, either purposely or through ignorance, will be liable to arrest
