| STONE OR CONCRETE WALKS.
Council Gives Second Reading to a Num
ber of Walk Improvement
Ordinances.
At a regular meeting of the
council Monday evening, with
all members present except Al
derman Bailey, the council gave
proof of their intentions of sup
t&rting the crusade for better
sidewalks in giving second read
ing to three ordinances calling
for such improvement.
Ordinance No. 133 calls for the
construction of a concrete walk
on the south side of Second
street from Plum street to
a block beyond Ash or the old
levee.
Ordinance No. 134 defines
what kind of a sidewalk shall
hereafter be constructed in this
city, and places the matter un
der the supervision of the street
and alley committee. The regu
lation walk is to be concrete,
five feet in width, and construct
ed as specified, or flagstone, the
blocks of which shall have an
area of not less than 15 square
feet. The stone must be two
inches thick in the residence sec
tion and four inches in business
district.
Ordinance 135 calls for a con
crete walk on both sides of Wal
nut street. The improvement
district sought to pave only from
Second to Remmel avenue, but
the ordinance takes in the entire
length of the street and specifies
that between Frst and Second,
the walk shall be eight feet in
width, between Second and
Third, six feet in width, and the
remainder five feet.
The resignation of J. 0. Turn
er as night watchman was ac
cepted and it is understood there
will be several candidates for the
vacancy.
No other business of impor
tance was transacted beyond the
allowance of accounts.

a strong and growing sentiment
in Arkansas against the mob.
Sheriff Harrell of Conway an
nounces that he will prosecute
the leader of the mob that lynch

cute the leaders of the mob that
made a demonstration against
the county jail when they
thought that John Mayes, the

j The following letter, published
| in the Hot Springs News, adds
its weight to the evidence in the
controversy between Gov. Davis
and Attorney General Rogers:
“Editor News—My attention
has been called to Mayor Beld
ing’s letter to Gov. Davis, and
published, in which he seeks to
shield the governor from any
connection with the matter of
obtaining $150 from me for the
governor’s benefit, by claiming
that he, Belding, borrowed the
money without the knowledge of
the governor as to where it came
from. In reply to this statement,
which is false, I wish to say that
Mr. Belding did not ask me for
that money, nor did I give it to
him. Neither was it returned
to me by him. The only con
nection he had with the transac
tion, so far as I could see, was
that he was present when the
money was obtained. I was tel
ephoned to meet Mr. Charles
>Jacobson, private secretary of
I Gov. Davis, at the old city build
i ing. When I got there 1 met
Mr. jaeooson ana iviayui rrsiu
■ ing. Mayor Belding then re
marked, ‘Charlie can teli you
, what he wants,’ when he, Jacob
son, told me the governor need
ed $150 to pay on his life insur
ance, and asked me to lend it to
the governor, stating, as 1 have
before said, ‘you know you won’t
lose anything by it. ’ Depend
i ing on the promise of a pardon
from the governor, I felt, of
: course, that under the circum
! stances I could do no less than
! advance the money, which I did,
; giving it to Mr. Jacobson, and
inot to Mr. Belding. No note
: was given me, nor even a due
i bill or receipt. I never expect
| ed its return, and it never was
i returned till after I recently de
clared myself to John Smith
against Gov. Davis, and referred
J to this transaction. Soon after
that Jacobson, not Belding, re
; turned the amount to me, with
j out interest. These are the true
; facts, to which I stand willing
to make affidavit, and I reiterate
every word of the statement re
cently made by me to Attorney
General Rogers. Respectfully,
“Dave Young.”
