Clint WOOD
IS CONVICTED
ON BANDITRY
Jonesboro Man Arraigned
in Court at Blytheville
and Sentenced to
Five Years.

,Jouesboro, Ark, Nov. 8.--The
Jonesboro Sun of yesterday says that
Clint Wood, former Jonesborian and
alleged bandit chief, was found
guilty ON a charge of highway rob-
berry in the Mississippi county cir
cult court at Blytheville Monday
afternoon and sentenced to term
of five years in the Arkansas peni-
ten ntiary. The jury was out only five
minutes. Wood appealed to the SUI
preme court and was released from
custody on bond of $4,000 which
was furnished by his father-in-law,
Sam Mutt of this city, and his at
torney, Mike Huddleston of Para
gould
Woods wife and baby stuck to
him throughout the trial. They re-
manned in the court room from start
to finish. Attorney Huddleston used
them in his sympathetic plea to the
jury. Prosecuting Attorney Shane
waxed strong in answering the wife
and baby plea. declaring Wood was
unfit for them because of his rec
ord of camping out several weeks
with women of bad character.
Woods mother and mother-in-
law also attended court in his be-
half as did his father-in-law.
Ed Mason of Jonesboro was the
principal witness against the con-
victed man. Mason identified WOOD
as one of the bandits who stopped
him and his younger brother, Carl,
and robbed them on the highway be-
tween Jonesboro and Blytheville
near Dell on dark night several
weeks ago.
Chief OF Police Craig of Jonesb0ro
was another strong witness against
Wood. Introduction of evidence con-
nected with the hold-up on lido
Johnson in this city last spring for
which crime Wood is accused, was
allowed and Chief Craig aided by
Patrolman Jones gave this testi-
mony in clearest detail. The mask
and burglar tools which were cap
tured at Woods home following the
lido Johnson robbery were used in
|evidence.
Minnie Good Of Blytheville, now
a prisoner in the local jail, was Q
witness against Wood. She was re-
turned to Jail here today.
Prosecuting Attorney Shane an
nounces that Wood will be brought
to trial in Jonesboro next week
when circuit court convenes here
on another charge of highway rob-
berry, that of holding up lido John.
son. Officers here state that suffi-
rient evidence is in hand TO bring
about quick conviction.
Chief Craig and Mason report
that Blytheville and Mississippi
county took great interest in the
trial. the courtroom being crowded
all the time. The fact that Wood
was alleged to have headed band
of robbers that held up numer-
Gus farmers returning from town
with money they had received for
their cotton made the interest most
tense.

Sewers in Different } Parts of City
 Clogged Up With Mash.

The pouring of mash used in the making of. beverages prohibited by law, are responsible for the clogging up of the sewers in different parts of the city, according to City Engineer J. D. Williams. Employes of the sewer department, sent to make re- pairs at different times. have found the trouble due to grain and other in- gradients used in making illicit liquor.
 In the northwestern part of the city, solid masses of this mixture have been found by workmen. The amateur dis tillers and brewers, in order that no trace would be found after they had made the stuff, resorted to the dis posal of the mash into the sewer, and this has caused no little trouble so far.
