FARM PURCHASE
INVESTIGATION.
Little Rock, Feb. 28.—M. D. L.
Cook, the financial agent of the peni
tentiary, was the principal witness
before the ways and means commit
i'tee of the house in the investigation
of the penitentiary matter last night.
There were no developments of a
sensational character, Mr. Cook’s tes
timony relating to the manner in
which he had sold about eight hun
. dred bales of cotton before the pur
chase. He said he had known noth
I ing of the intention of board to pur
( chase a farm. The news was brought
( to him on the street by Former Agri
cultural Commissioner Frank Hill a
| few moments after the purchasing
. resolution had been passed. There
had been no undue haste in the mat
ter. He had gone to the state-house,
and, meeting several members of the
board, learned positively of the fact
of the purchase. Mr. Miller had told
him that he would like to close the
matter that day. He paid the money
over to the agents for Urquhart in the
presence of Messrs. Monroe and
Crockett of the board, by a check in
{ his own name. This was done, he
said, after the contract for the pur
chase of the Cummins place had been
signed by Mr. Urquhart and a major
ity of the members of the board.
, RAILROADS LOSE FIRST ROUND.
J
. Little Rock, Feb. 28.—The celebrat
ed Memphis bridge fare case in feder
al court, the outcome of which will be
of interest to every person who ever
has occasion to cross the bridge over
, the Mississippi river at Memphis, was
, argued before Judge Jacob Trieber
. yesterday, the railroads losing the
first round of the legal battle.
The argument was the demurrers of
the defendants as to the jurisdiction of
i the federal court. They were over
ruled and twenty days given in which
to file answers.
- The case is that of Thomas H. Adams
against the Iron Mountain Railroad
and the Kansas City and Memphis
I Bridge and Railway Company, the
| plaintiff asking §25,000 damages for
ejection from a train because he re
i fused to pay the 50 cents bridge fare
. demanded.
, MISSISSIPPI RIVER
PASSES DANGER LINE.
r ir
j Memphis, Feb. 27.—The Mississippi
. river at this point is above the danger
line, and a serious overflow is threat
■ ened. The reports tonight show a rise
of two-tenths on the Memphis gauge,
making the stage of water here 33.6.
, Already the lowlands are beginning to
get the full effect of the overflow, and
the railroads entering the city are'
keeping a sharp lookout for their
tracks where they penetrate the bot
• toms. ,
The rise in the river is forcing the
> water over the banks ouside the
- levees, and the protective earthworks
3 are showing signs of weakening in
, some places. Pilots report that down
• the river, where the land is very low,
3 there are miles of it under water. At
7 Memphis the Mississippi is over a
t mile wide, and across on the Arkan
• sas side the water stretches far inland,
and many houses and cabins are in
f undated.
