VAGRANTS COME NEXT.
Council Passes Strict Ordinance against
Vagrancy That Should Result
in Great Good.
Th*1 vagrant must snare the
fate of the town cow. He must
hie himself to “greener fields
and pastures new,” under the
new administration, which on
v Monday evening at a regular
meeting of the council, finally
adopted a vigorous measure, cal
culated to rid the city of a second
nuisance.
The ordinance passed itemizes
the different varieties of the
vagrant class and leaves no loop
hole of escape. The person
found guilty is subject to a fine
, of not less than $2 nor more than
$30 and if the same is not paid,
the rock pile is offered as the
solution of the city’s dilemma.
Aside from the appointment
and confirmation rf the new
board of health, composed of
Dr. C. West, Dr. 0. E. Jones,
C. E. Crook, 0. M. Bowen and

TO PROVIDE EOR SCHOOLS.

fund of State.
Washington, D. C., April 15.
—Hon. J. H. Hinemon, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion of Arkansas, will appear
before the House Committee on
Public Lands on April 23, in fa
vor of the Brundidge bill grant
ing to Arkansas the thirty-sixth
sections of the public domain in
Arkansas for school purposes.
Mr. Brundidge, who is cham
pioning the measure, will also
address the committee, as will
other members of the Arkansas
congressional delegation, who
have taken great interest in the
bill.
The measure, if passed, will
give to the state of Arkansas
nearly half a million acres of
land valued at many millions of
dollars. Mr. Brundidge says
that the state could make great
use of the money, as the public
school teachers are under-paid
illit-prnpv
among the whites, as well as
negroes, is still a matter of much
concern to the state.

GREEK LABORERS RIOT.
Drunken; Foreigners Rtohr OW Feuds
Resulting in Quarrels anti
SLny Injuries.
Helena. April 10 -Ten men so
far known n he shot, with prob
ably many others yet to be
heard from, ; ~ the result of a:
desperate riot u yv in procress
at Gurley, Ark.
Gurley is or. the Memphis,
Helena w Louisiana railroad,
forty miles south of Helena. Sev
eral hundred Greeks, who are
construction laborers, mam- tneir
headquarters there.
Yesterday early in *.>>: bay
they begun the celebration of1
Easter Sunday in accordance
with the custom of their country.
An almost inexhaustible sup
ply of beer had been provided1
for the occasion, and practically
every Greek swilled it a;, day
long.
Toward evening yesterday the ;
men became crazed with drink.'
Old feudal differences were:
brought to the front, and bitter

tion of fists soon gave place to i
that of shotguns pistols and
knives.
Yesterday afternoon several
men were seriously shot, while
many others were more or less j
injured. When night came the
men sank into drunken stupors, j
and quiet was temporarily ob- ■
tained.
This morning the men again
began quarrels in small groups,1
and in a short time three more'
had been shot. i
Gurley is twenty miles from !
any telegraph or telephone sta- j
tion, and a railroad official started •
! out after the renewal of hostil- j
ities this morning for aid. He
made the trip by horseback, ar
riving in Helena shortly after 1
o’clock. He stated that the
rioting was in full blast when he
left, and he believed that many
others would be seriously injured
or killed before officers could
reach Gurley.
Sheriff Frank Kitchens of
Phillips county, upon receipt of
the news, at once dispatched a
large posse of heavily armed
deputies to Gurley. They left
on horseback and should arrive
by 5 or six o’clock this afternoon.
Sheriff Kitchens also wired
, Gov. Davis at Little Rock of the
: seriousness of the situation, and
urging that a military company
! also be sent. The local company,
jCapt. J. C. Myers, commanding,
I is now at its armory under arms
expecting orders to leave for the
scene oj the trouble at any
moment.
tyerasnci Lower taxes.
The Independence county
grand jury has made its final re
port, in which it declares that
the taxes in that county are ex
cessive. The report says:
‘‘We want to say from our
personal knowledge and with
conversation with scores of the
best citizens of this county that
we believe the taxes of Inde
pendence county are excessive
in the extreme, and we believe
there is no just cause therefor,
and they should be very materi
ally lowered. We most respect
fully recommend that this part
of our report he referred to the
county judge ol Independence
county, and that he be requested
to read it to the next quorum
court as soon as it assembles and
before their levy of taxes is
made.”
