OIL NEAR THE TOP
 AT MALVERN WELL
Owners Now Turn to Perfect ing Titles-TaylOr Henson
 Given News.

Malvern, Feb. 25.-The Taylor Hen, son we'll has remained capped since the three bailers of oil were brought up Friday morning at 10:30, and will remain capped until Monday, accord ing to J. c. Miller, one of the men in charge of the well, unless the con- tents will run through the valves when they are opened tomorrow. Wa ter and oil were within 100 feet of tbe top, and still rising late this after noon.
 The reaction that usually comes af- ment as Malvern has just gone through has set in on many residents. There is some dissatisfaction because the well was capped immediately, but the owners do not seem to be disturb ed and are perfecting their titles and abstracts
 Henson Gets the News.
 Taylor Henson, the ex-slave, well past 70, who has worked for more than five years without any encour- agement but his own convictions, and who has been ill for several weeks has been told the news, but it did not excite him, as was feared. He merely said that it was no more than he had known.
 Henson came to Malvern soon after the war that freed him, and has liv- ed for more than 50 years in his pres ent home. Nobody begrudges the good luck that has befallen this old negro who has a countrywide repu. tation for honesty and industry Even though his well, with it's worn. out machinery, may never become z gusher, he owns 1000 acres and has leased 6,000 acres adjoining his land
 Many Visit the We'll.
 Despite the rain the well had many visitors today. Much attention is at tracted by the two pieces of iron ly Ing on the ground near the gate Of tht enclosure that serve to remind thu visitors of the old negro's six months labors to offset the work of an enem, who attempted to junk the well. On is railroad iron bearded at the ent to, form a row of fish hooks, whicl had been bound around the top witt manila paper to make a swab. Man. tools were made to remove the iron but none were successful until blacksmith near Sheridan made a lon. spear, sharpened the blades, attached it to another long rod and by inces sant hammering finally cut away tn rope and dulled the barbs until tn iron could be removed.

Sheriff Bob Pierce for
 Railroad Commissioner

According to a dispatch in the Ar kansas Gazette Sunday Sheriff Bob Pierce of Little River County will be an aspirant to the office of Railroad maries. MT. Pierce was out of town at, the time of going to press and it could not be confirmed as to the cer- tainty of his race.
 The dispatch follows:
 Each of the three members of the Arkansas Railroad Commission will have opposition, according to present indications. Judge Joe Hardage of Philadelphia makes his formal an nouncement today, and while w. E. Floyd of Little Rock, chairman, and J. G. Walker of Newport, third mem- ized formal announcements, it is re- ported that they will be candidates for a second term. The three pres ent members were appointed by the governor when the old corporation commission was replaced by the pres ent commission, but the act under which the substitution was made pro- vided that the offices, after the first term, be elective.
 Chairman Floyd will be opposed in this district by Walter G. Brasher of Dardanelle, a former member of the Corporation Commission, and a mem- Der of the old Railroad Commission which was replaced by the Corpora tion Commission. Judge Hardage, it is said, will be opposed by two sher- ifs: Sheriff Ed Harper of Ouachita county and Sheriff J. R. Pierce of Lit tie River county. The rumor con- corning Sheriff Pierce yesterday was only srumor, but Sheriff Harper is said to have made definite statement that he will be candidate. Mir. Walk. CT will be opposed by Clay Henderson of Walnut Ridge and H. L. Finn o Lepanto. MT. Finn represented Poin sett county in the last legislature, ant MT Henderson is a former county clerk of Lawrence county"

Ever since wireless became popu-

came to the A. r. r. L. officials, who
finally agreed to cooperate with the
