Not Our Robbers

The sheriff's here received word
from Memphis last week that two boys
in Ford roadster had been taken
in custody and had admitted robbing
a store in Pocahontas. They had a
quantity of cigars and cigarettes in
the car and it was thought they were
the ones who burglarized the Joe
Peters restaurant a few days before
Elmer Wheat was sent down to bring
the boys to Pocahontas but when he
arrived in Memphis he failed to iden-
tify the prisoners and after a little
questioning it developed that they were
from Pocahontas, Mississippi, apd in
their confession had failed to designate
which state they were from.

HOxie Depot Burns

1t is seldom, indeed, when the citi-
zens of town can stand on their
main street and watch, with joy and
hilarious spirits, while a part of their
city is being destroyed by fire. Very
rarely is a big conflagration consider
ed a civic benefit. More often it re-
suits in distress and financial loss felt
by the entire community.
If we hear Alright, however, the little
town of HOxie enjoyed" a fire last
Thursday morning which destroyed the
union station of the Mo. Pac. and
Frisco railroad companies. The fire
started in the Liberty Cafe, which adj
joins the depot, and spread to the sta
tiOn. The town is without water works
and both buildings were completely
destroyed.
1t was recently decided by the rail
road companies to build a new station
and since the old one was destroyed 1t
is likely that construction Of a modern
building will soon be started.

ALL AMENDMENTS
FAIL OF ADOPTION

All three of the amendments sub
mitted to the voters at the general
election failed of adoption, according
to official reports from over the state.
There was a total of 119,056 votes
polled in the 40 counties which had
reported to Little Rock yesterday. The
total vote will probably reach 125,OOO.
Each of the amendments received a
majority of the votes cast on the sub
ject, but all three were defeated by
voters who voted neither for nor
against.
Amendment No. 10, to increase the
pay, and number of state Supreme
Court justices, lacked 1888 of having
a majority of the number of votes cast
in the election. A total of 51,176 votes
favored the amendment while 3S,933
voted against it, 2S,947 not voting.
Amendment No. IL, permitting coun-
ties and municipalities to issue bonds
under certain restrictions, lacked 4,4lO
votes of having a majority, 55,ll9
voters favoring the amendment, 33,O52
opposing it and 3O,SS5 not voting.
Amendment No. ~, prohibiting local
/ legislation in the state General Assem-
bly,, lacked 4,2O5 votes of the necessary
majority, 55,324 voting for the amend
ment, 32,546 against it and 31,1S6 not
voting.
Tom j. Terral, democratic nominee
for governor, received 95,SS4 votes and
his opponent, John w. Grabiel, repub-
lican, received 23,172.
In Randolph county the stock law
was the chief interest in the election.
1t had been thoroughly discussed, pro
and con. through the Star Herald and
almost every body in the district west
of Black and Current rivers, was in
terested in the result of the vote on
the subject. The measure lost by ex-
actly 80 votes, there being S53 votes
cast for the stock law and 843 against.
The law carried by more than to 1
in Demun township but this advantage
was offset by the fourteen townships
which went strong against it. Butler
township polled only 2 votes in favor
of the law.
On another page of this paper Is
the official vote of Randolph county.
OF the state officers only the governors
race was published. All the other
contested offices went democratic by
about the same vote as the governors.
