The bill which passed the senate

is one of the most important measures
that has been introduced during the

JUMPED FROM TRAIN
TO ESCAPE OFFICER.
Pine Bluff, Feb. 19.—Oscar Baker, a
young white man, jumped from a Cot
ton Belt train running at the rate of
thirty-five miles an hour yesterday,
and nothing has since been heard of
him. Baker was in the custody of an
officer from Fordyce, en route from
here there to answer to a charge of
grand larceny, it being alleged that he
stole $41.75 from a Grant county farm
er named Emery Hale.
Baker was seated in the chair cai
with the officer, when he asked to be
allowed to get a drink of water. At
the train was running at such a fasf
rate of speed the officer allowed the
man to go alone. Instead of stopping
at the water cooler, Baker opened the
door, and before the officer realized
what he was doing had jumped from:
the platform. He was not missed un
til just before the next stop was made
therefore the train did not go back tc
see what became of him.
It is not known whether Baker wat
injured.
CORPORATION PAPERS FILED.
Articles of incorporation were filed
Thursday with the secretary of state

the firm of Stewart Bros, did business,
enjoys a front rank among this city’s
mercantile enterprises. From a small
store, it has become one of the larges;

cess in winning the good will and con
fidence of the people.
The list of stockholders includes a
number of prominent business men
and there are none which do not add
prestige to the new corporation, which
we wish the highest measure of suc
cess.
COL. W. H. ORR DEAD.
Malvern, Feb. 19.— Col. William H.
Orr, died here yesterday. He was 79
years of age. Col. Orr was born in
Mifflin county, Pa., September 16,
1824, and resided there until he was
nearly grown, when his family emi
grated to Ohio and settled near Cin
cinnati. He married Miss Sarah A.
Gray of Ripley, Ohio, in April, 1848.
Four children were born to Col. and
Mrs. Orr. They were Thos. L. Orr of
this city, Charles G. Orr of Hot
Springs, Allie S. Orr of Mart, Texas,
and Annie L. Orr, now deceased, who
was the wife of W. W. Dutton, of
Newport, Ark. Col. Orr came to
Arkansas in 1876 and opened a hotel
at Hot Springs and later came to Mal
vern, where be has since resided. He
was the owner of the Orr’s Commer
cial Hotel at this place and had gained
a wide acquaintance with the travel
ing public, with whom he was very
popular. Col. Orr had been a member
of the Presbyterian church for more
than fifty years. The interment took
place in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Thurs
day.
RESERVED HIS DECISION.
The petition of Henry Bordwell et
al for the revocation of the prohibition
order granted January 11, 1901, by
Judge O. W. Scarborough, will be
acted upon by the county court Satur
day morning at 10 o’clock, the time to
which an adjournment was taken
Thursday evening, when argument
upon the petition from the Jackson
port district was closed by Judge M.
M. Stuckey for the petitioners, and S.
D. Campbell for the antis.
In the afternoon, Major Joe Bell re
viewed the case, citing to the court
the law in regard to striking names
from a petition, his argument being in
answer to that of Joseph M. Stayton,
who made the opening talk, when the
presentation of testimony had been
concluded.
Whatever the action of the county
judge, Dr. J. M. Jones, may be, it
seems that the defeated side will
probably carry the contest to the
higher courts. In the event that the
prohibition order is revoked, the
question seems to be: will saloons be
licensed and allowed to operate pend
ing an appeal to the higher courts?
