GUhMIs0M A DRY TOWN; IS
Exceptionally PROSPEROUS

Only a few years ago when towns
OF the western slope began to legis-
late against the liquor traffic. 1t was
generally conceded by both vets and
drys. that 1t would be long time be-
fore the WET town OF Gunnison would
swing into the dry column. and some
even prophesied that the time would
never come.
But when the State Normal School
was located here, and people OF the
dry towns down the valley were asked
to send their young people here to
live for nine or ten months of the
year. wide awake business men, pro
fessional men, and ranchers saw that

Hays is Hustled Out Two Hours Ahead of Time
 For Inauguration
THOUGHT SICK SENATOR
 WAS GOING TO DIE
Action Taken in Order to Va cate Offices Which Brough
 Desired to Fill

Little Rock, Jan. 10.-Gov. Brough and his hungry horde of job seekers exceeded the speed limit today in busting Gov. Hays from office two hours before the time set for the inauguration ceremonies to take place.
 Nothing like it was ever wit messed in the entire history of Arkansas, according to those who are familiar with the pro- ceedings attendant upon the changes, which usually occur without any show of undue haste.
 It was the first time in the history of Arkansas that the friends of an incoming gover- nor ever made an attempt to humiliate the outgoing chief executive, but the attempt of Gov. Brough and his friends to publicly humiliate Hays was so glaring as to cause com ment from all sources, even from many who were friends of Gov. Brough, many of whUm expressed disapproval of the procedure.
 So smoothly did the plans of the Brough leaders work out that friends of Gov. Hays were unaware of what was going on until it was too late. The reso- lution adopted by the house and senate calling for a joint session was so worded that it was believed to fix the time for the inauguration of Gov. Trough at ? p. m. and was adopted without opposition from anyone. The resolution provided that the house and

CARL V0GAN NOW
 IN NEWPORT JAIL
Escaped Convict and Alleged Bank Robber is Captured
 by Officers at Joplin

Newport, Jan. 10.-Karl Vogan, escaped convict and al- legged bank robber, wanted here for shooting Chief of Po- lice G. C. Martin December 23, has been placed in the local jail again, Sheriff J. M. Ivy and Constable Terry Quinn having returned yesterday from Joplin with Vogan, who voluntarily returned to New port, with the officers, who ex- plained to him that owing to the change of governors in Missouri, it would probably be several days before Cover nor Hays requisition which had been forwarded to the Missouri capital last week could be acted upon.
 Vogan at first refused to re- turn.
 The escaped convict was traced to Joplin by officers shadowing his wife, who join- ed Vogan at Joplin, where he was arrested. He at first refus- ed to admit his identity and said his name was Brown, but his wife broke down under questioning by detectives and admitted that hey were from Newport and wanted here, the officers say.

senate meet in joint session at
 10:30 to canvass the vote on
 state officers. A committee was
 named to notify Chief Justice
 MeColloch to appear and ad-
 minister the oath of office to the incoming governor and oth-
 CT new offivers. Another com mittee was appointed to notify the incoming governor and oth- CT officers, and have them pre- sent, presumably at 2 o'clock. But in less than five minutes after they were named, the committees appeared with those sent for, with the excep- tion of the last named commit tee, which was unable to locate Secretary of State-Elect T. J. Terral, who did not know of the rush program and was at his home.
 The appearance of the com mlttee vita Governor Hays brought considerable applause from the members on the floor and several hundred specta- tors in the galleries, but this was overshadowed a moment later by cheers and thunder ous applause as the committee bringing Dr. Brough appeared.
 High speed legislation to beat all appointees named by Governor Hays during the last two years whose appointments were subject to confirmation by the Senate, was started morning by the faction in the Senate when a messenger. from the was denied access to the floor.

file the list. Governor Hays insisting on reading the list be- fore beginning his message.
 Senator Davenport, in reply to a request from Governor Hays, that the secretary file the list, said he would have to obtain consent of both houses.
 Senator Ruff arose and made a motion that permission be granted. Senator Adamson then rose to a point of order de- elarlng the action was not in order. Senator Davenport sus- tained him. Governor Hays ask ed that the General Assembly take cognlzance of the fact that twice he had endeavored to file the list of appQintees.
 ift~i ' "efe ,tfiffarqyoeee -r opinion as to the result of the Senate's action. Some held that it would make no difference, while the Trough faction de- clared that, since Governor Brough had assumed office without the Senate being noti- fled of Governor Hays ap- pointments, the offices were vacant.
 It was predicted that Gov. Brough's first official act would be to appoint some one to succeed z. M. McCarroll as a member of the State Charity Board.
 Further efforts to railroad the Hays administration out of office were carried out by Sen ator Davenport and the Brough faction during the joint session Wednesday morning.
 As soon as Gov. Hays finish ed his message and before Dr. Brough was sworn in, Gov. Hays stepped to the side of the rostrum and handed Secretary Langley his list of appoint ments, which include all ap- pointments made by Gov. Hays since the legislature adjourned two years ago, requiring con- firmation by the senate, as has always been the custom by outgoing governors. MT. Lang ley refused to accept the list Mir. Burnside then took the list and attempted to file it. The secretary again refused. Sena. tor Brown who was seated di- rectly in front of the rostrum jumped up and took the list from MT. Burnside and asked the secretary to file it, but he refused for the third time.
 The list of appointments number about 20, and the ac. tion of the administration for. ces indicate that Gov. Brougf will hold that the positions are vacant and will immediately begin to make appointments to fill the vacancies which were created by his admins tration.
 It was said after the inau guration had been railroaded through that Trough leaders believed that Senator Archi bald Hamilton of Camden who had been i'll at the home of hi son at 222 Cross street in Lit tie Rock, was dying, and that this caused the inauguration of Dr. Trough to be rushed more rapidly, in order that ht might be sworn in before Gov Hays could make an appoint ment of some one to fill Sen ator Hamilton's place in tn, event of theS senator's death.

BR0UGH INAUGURATED
 GOVERNOR OF STATE
Recommends $15O,OOO Bond Issue and Creation of Many
 New Offices

Little Rock, Jan. 10.-Chas. Il. Brough, former University professor, Wednesday became governor of Arkansas, and in an inaugural address contain ing 25,000 words, presented to the Senate and House, sit ting in joint session, recom- mendations which revolution lze the political organizations of the State, recommendations far-reaching in their impor- tance and, politically speaking, daring in their presentation.
 The house of representatives was damned with people when Gov. Brough was escorted to the speakers stand. Radical departures from time-worn political customs were urged by Governor Brough. He did not hesitate in advocating a $750,000 bond issue to retire the outstanding indebtedness, tomeet anticipated indebtedness and to rehaEiliate the States credit, telling the solons that he alone was willing to assume responsibility for the measure should 1t meet disapproval be- fore the people.
 The creation of more new offices are recommended by Gov. Brough in his address to the legislature than were ever recommended by any governor. .. Among sa9g ths s.GsaYYv RsY offices # GasftIaee he are the following:
 Creation of the office of travelling state auditor, to be appointed by the governor, to make auditS of state depart 
 Creation of the offices of district auditors to audit coun- ty and district departments.
 Creation of a board compos- ed of five members, appointed by the governor, to define work of various educational institutions.
 Creation of a board of five or seven members, appointed by the governor, to determine needs of various State educa- tional institutions biennially and report to governor and legislature.
 Creation of an honorary board of control for State char itable institutions.
 Creation of board to investi- gate conditions in such institu- tions and report to governor and legislature.
 Creation of a board of five members, to be appointed by the governor, to investigate re- forms in criminal procedure.
 Creation of a board of five members to determine provi- sions for a workingman's com- pensation law.
 Creation of office of State hotel inspector.
 Creation of office of State fire marshal.
 Creation of offices of two commissioners, to sit as judges of Supreme Court until person. nel of Court can be increased.
 Creation of a board of three State officials to have juris- diction over distribution of State printing, now handled by the secretary of state.
 Creation of the office of h. heritance Tax Collector.
 Creation of an advisory par don board.
 Creation of an advisory high way commission.
 Other recommendations were as follows:
 Revision of the taxation laws.
 Revision the inheritance tax law.
 Continuing state capitol tax to redeem bond issue.
 Village tax basis for all educational institutions.
 Appropriation of $50,OO0 for girls reformatory.
 Erection and maintenance of a tuberculosis sanitarium for negroes.

TOLEDO DISTRICT
EXCEEDS QUOTA

Lincoln County was appor-
toned to raise $4,000 for the Red
Cross, of which sum $1,000 was
apportioned to the Toledo Chap
ter and $1,000 to the Newport
Chapter. The Toledo teams
went at the work with a spirit
and vim that just couldn't be re-
sisted, and they have in their
treasury today the neat sum of
$122S.45 with one team yet to
report. J. c. Dixon sent word
down from Elk City last evening
saying, IF we lacked any
of raising the amount required,
that Elk City was ready to raise
$1O0 more" This is the right
spirit.
The local Chapter has a mem.
bership of 234 and the list of
donators is so long that the
committee has decided not to
publish same.
