l6-YEAR-0LD BOY
 KILLS OWN FATHER
Lawrence County Lad, Sleep Walker, Kills 6O-Year-Old
 Parent at Home

Walnut Ridge, June F. William Delaney, a l6-year-oid boy, shot and killed his Co., year-old father, Ed Delaney, Sunday night, while the boy was in sonambulistic state. Officers who made q further investigation today of the kill ing of Delaney, a Lawrence county farmer, were satisfied that the killing was due to the sleep-walking habits of the youth, although he was to have a hearing this afternoon at l o'clock before Justice of the Peace, ]. G. Hall. A eoroners jury has declared the shooting was accidental and has exoner- ated young Delaney.
 The shotoing of Ed Delaney took place in the Delaney home Tear Bessie, six miles from Walnut Ridge, about II o'clock Sunday night. Delaney and his wife had been to church. They returned home and retir- ed. The best information ob- tainable from those who inVes- dgated the affair is that young Delaney arose from his sleep and, with pistol in hand, enter ed his fathers bedroom. The elder man awakened and, sec ing his son with the pistol, and realizing the boy was asleep, rushed toward him to take if from him. The gun was fired the bullet striking Ed Delaney in the heart and causing in- stant death. Only one other person, a little daughter of the Delaney family, was in the room.
 Members of the Delaney family, state William Delaney had the sonambulistic habit in a marked degree, and no other member of the family could sleep in his room, as he was liable to attack and beat them

The Chancery Court in ses- sion at Batesville, handed down a decree last Thursday stating that the State of Arkansas had no lawful title to certain lands in the incorporated town of Newark, known as the Arnold addition. The action was brought about through a suit ny Geo. +. Crossrr, as guardian for Frank Divers. l. J. Mathe- ny of Batesville represented the plaintiffs.
 This brings to light the fact that one Capt. Vance of Bates vile will now be able to re- cover from the State of Arkan- sas the sum of S212, which said sum, for reasons known or unknown, the before-men- toned Captain had rather po- sess than a deed from the State to eighty acres of perfectly good land, fully equipped with q dozen or more good resi- denees, barns, outhouses and gardens, all under good wire and paling fences, said land being the East half of lots 2 and 3 N.

EDMONDSON FOR SENATOR
Well-known Citizen of This
 County to Make Race

w. w. Edmondson of Paro- Quet, announces in today's pa per as a candidate for State Senator from the Sixth district comprised of Independence and Stone counties.
 Probably no man in the dis trict who ever made this race is better known than MT. Ed mondson, who formerly lived in Stone county, where he was held in the highest etseem, as is evidenced by his career as a public official there.
 Mr. Edmondson's record is unique, and one which many men hardly ever attain in poli- tics. He has the distinction of having held office for fourteen years in succession and was never defeated. MT. Edmond son was sheriff of Stone coun- ty two years, County clerk $ years; Representative, 2 years, and held the office of Senator which he is again seeking, for four years.
 MT. Edmondson says that his motto then an now is 'Re- trenchment and Economy and believes that this is what the people want. At the present time MT. Edmondson states that he is very busily engaged in looking after his extensive farming operations and will be unable to state just what sort of campaign he will be able to make, but says that he will see as many of the voters as is possible for him to do so, and wants the supprt of every man in the district who wants to see this section receive fair rep rensentation in the Senate of Arkansas.
 MT. Edmondson retired from public office IA years ago and |this is his first race since that time.

 This was a perfectly good get-rieh-quiek scheme, which for some reason did not work out very satisfactory, or fast enough, and after failing to secure possession of the propertyy through various h o k u s-pokus methods | h e willy captain then began offering the property for sale to it's rightful owners, some of whom had owned the prop erty for years, and had built comfortable homes on it. No one seemed inclined to bite" and the result was, the "cap- tain's" scheme to make some easy coin, faded away like a summer dream, and the "cap- tain" began to look about for means for recovering some of the perfectly good money he had paid out in his attempt to put over his "get-rich-quick" scheme.
 Suit had to be brought by some landowner, against the State, showing that the State had no just claim to the property in litigation, and it is said that proposals were made to Newark parties that if they would file this suit that all expenses and attorney fees would be borne by Captain Vance.

S52l.6l CAN'T FIND
 HOME IN THE COUNTY
Supreme Court Renders Deci. sion in Case of This Coun-
 ty vs. O. o. Wright

A decision rendered Monday by the Supreme Court in the ease of Independence county against o. 0. Wright, tax col lector, has the effect of ren- dering a sum of $521.61 tenn porarily homeless, The state auditor has held that the mon ey does not belong to the state the Supreme Court held that it does not belong to the coun- ty, and while Wright later may establish a claim to it, at pres ent the money seem to belong to no one.
 Under special act of the legislature the Independence county collector was allowed to retain one and one-fourth per cent of the taxes he col lected, in lieu of a salary. In making his 1920 settlement with the state auditor, Wright turned in all the county taxes less his one and one-fourth percentage. The state audi tor held, however, that under a general law now on the stat utes, Section 100071 of the Di- gest of the Statutes, the col lecor is allowed in lieu of a sal ary, a commission of 5 per cent of the taxes collected up to S10, 900, three per cent be- Tween $10,000 and $20,000 and two per cent on taxes in ex- cess of $20,000. Under this law Wright's commissions amounted to $521.61 more than under the special act. Holding that the general act took precedence over the spec ial act, the auditor turned the S521.61 back and the county claimed it. There is nothing in the act requiring the county collector to turn into the coun- ty any money in excess of the commissions allowed him, and in the Independence Circuit
