ARKANSAS
MARSHALL
INDICTED

LITTLE ROCK, Ark (ANP)-
CONSERVATION was thrown into the
ranks Of the slave-drivers and
peonage farmers of this states
sharecropper belt this week when
a Federal grand jury investigating
peonage charges in the East Ark
ansas cotton region returned an
indictment against City Marshall
Paul d. Peacher, of Earle, Ark
on a charge of violating the anti
slavery laws. The federal jury's
action on Wednesday came just a
few hours after a Crittenden coun-
ty grand Jury had denied that such
conditions existed in the state.
The present Department Of JUS
tice inquiry is the result Of charges
by individuals and by the Southern
Tenant Farmers union, with head
quarters at Memphis, that peon-
age was rampant in the sharcrop-
per belt.
'RailrOaded" to Work
According to United State Dis
trict Attorney Fred Isgrig, the in
dictment accuses City Marshall OF
falsely accusing eight colored men
with vagrancy and bringing them
before Mayor T. S. Mitchell, where
they were illegally convicted and
sentenced to work on Peacher's
farm for his use and benefit. More
than 20 men, the prosecutor add
ed, have been thus railroaded on
trumped up charges.
While the federal body conduct
ed it's probe, the Crittenden coun-
ty grand jury at Marion, in the
heart of the district under inves-
tigation. said it had sifted the
charges of forced labor and intim-
idation, and had not found any evil
dence of violations of the law in
any instance"
Quizzes Field Workers
Nine colored field hands were
among the witnesses called be-
fore the federal body and among
the others were Mayor Mitchell OF
Earle, A. b. Carter, deputy clerk
of court for Crittenden county,
and B. l.. Damron, agent with the
federal bureau of investigation.
Miss Willie Sue Blagdon, Mem
phis social worker who has charg-
ed that she and Rev. Claude g.
Williams, Little Rock minister
were flogged at Earle last June
did not testify at the federal hear
ing, but f.. j. White, Crittenen
grand jury foreman said that both
she and Rev. Williams had been
invited to appear "but did not show
up" Miss Blagden has filed dam
age suits in federal court against
five Crittenden county men IN
connection with the alleged flogg-
ing.

Rich Gold Strike
Reported Made in
Beaverhead Area

Discovery Of gold reported to assay
S98 per ton In the Badger pass area
Is miles west of Dillon, has started g
gold rush" to Beaverhead county rem
iniscent of lush pioneer days.
In an unusual sandstone formation
which went unnoticed by early-day
proSpectors who flocked to southwest
Montana 10 years ago, Roy Sta1fteld
and Malcolm Fleming reported finds
of rich ore. a
Assays of Fleming's samples ran 81
a ton and some Of Stanfields ore was
said to yield $98 ton.
When the assays were made public,
amateur pr0spectors began stalking out
claims on both sides Of Badger pass
road, main highway to Dillon and Ban
mack, jackson and the Grasshoppex
valley.
Size Of the veins uncovered was not
disclosed. Veteran mining men said the
sandstone formation had been ignored
by biologists.
Bannack and the Grasshopper valley
country were scenes Of the first gold
strikes In Montana and 1t was In this
area that placer mining yielded pto-
neer prospectors as high as "a dollar
q pan"
Without knowing the size OF the veins
struck by Stanfield and Fleming, min
ing men said the Importance Of the
strikes could not be gagged. They
pointed out that ore assaying S98
ton Is high grade ore. Large low-grade
ore bodies running SIS q ton can be
operated commercially with modern
mining methods, they said.

Governor Thomas. at one stage Of
Billy's testimony, got up and objected
on the ground that Billy'E evidence
was irrelevant. Judge Knowles, who
was sitting forward, leaning over the
bench, interested In all OF Billy's story,
with wide. good-natured smile on his
face, overruled the objection, saying
he thought 1t Just IS well 10 let the
witness tell bis story IN his own way.
1t developed that 1t was Billy's custom
to work all spring, summer and fall,
by which time he usually had accumu-
lated or had coming TO him, q good
many thousand dollars, but IN the
spring he was invariably broke again.
Under cross-examination by Governor
Thomas, 1t was brought out that one
particular spring Billy's debts were
quite large and he was asked to enum-
crate them. he said:
Well, for one thing, I owed Jim
McGovern $1,000"
Governor Thomas asked: WAS that
for food?p
Billy replied IN dramatic manner,
mo, for whisky
Then the governor asked: did you
ever pay him?" and Billy replied:
'sThat was the first debt / paid IN
the spring, because it was debt OF
honor"
