Seven Escapes For January.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 7.—During ;
the month of January, seven men
escaped from the Arkansas pen
itentiary. There were six white
men, Joe Endsley, John Abies,
Chas. Greer, Arthur Beasley, J.
R. Holland, and Joe Johnson, and
one negro, J. Boyd- Holland was
convicted at Mena of pandering
and sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary. The supreme
court last Monday affirmed the
case, sustaining the pandering,
act, but this was done after the,
escape of the defendant.
On Jan. 1, there was a total of
968 convicts in the state peniten
tiary, of whom 285 were white
men, 687 negro men, and 26 ne
gro women, there being no white
women.
During the month of January
68 were recovered, and 72 were
discharged, as follows, 7 escap
ed, 15 pardoned, 11 paroled, 34
terms expired, 5 transferred and
2 died, making a total present
population of the institution 961.
Those who died were, Will Stin
nett and Will Hays, both negroes
of pneumonia.
Saloons Prepare To Open.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb- 7.—Although
saloon license has not yet been
granted for Little Rock, the sa
loon men are making all prepara
tions for opening. Their places
of business are being repainted,
and put into condition, and the
indications are now that they
will be in operation as usual early
next week. The delay this week
has been caused by the counsel
for the saloon men, former Con
gressman W. L. Terry, who is
answering each individual re
monstrance made by the prohi
bitionists to 1,400 names on the
saloon petition. There is no
doubt that a record is being made
for the circuit and finally for
the supreme court, where it is
probable the constitutionality of
the act will be fought out. But
during the pendency of the ap
peal the saloons will be doing
business.
Sulphur Rock Oil Well.
The oil well at Sulphur Rock
was “shot” last Thursday, and
the prospects are reported good
for the well developing into a
gusher. The oil taken from the
top of buckets of water drawn
from the well will burn in a
lamp. The promoters are still
drilling, and propose to continue
until a paying flow is secured.
Citizens of Sulphur Rock are
very much pleased w’ith the pros
pects.—Newark Journal.

Col. Rutherford Is Dead
Col James Rutherford, one of
the oldest residents of this coun
ty, died at his home at Ruther
ford Friday morning at 5:30
o’clock.
He had been ill for some time,
and the family and friends had
entertained little hopes of his re
covery for several days before
the end came.
Col. Rutherford was nearing
his 90th year, and had been a
resident of this county since ear
i ly manhood. He was most pro
gressive and therefore a prosper
ous man, being one of the larg
est planters in the state. He was
always found lending his assist
ance to every movement for the
! upbuilding of his county and
i state, and a most loyal friend
land neighbor.
j Col. Rutherford was the father
i of six children, four of whom,
with his wife survive him.
Among the children of the de
ceased is some of our most sub
! stantial citizens, and his life was
full rounded and crowned with
success.
The remains will be laid to
rest in the family grave yard at j
Rutherford Saturday at 2 p. m., j
Rev. M. S. Smith conducting the j
services. The Odd Fellows will |
have charge at the grave— j
Batesville Guard.

gagement of Miss Helen Eisman, i

| ter Place.
I Friends of the vomit? neonle
have been expecting the’ an

of Miss Eisman were out of the |

Carolina on a pleasure trip.,
They returned last night. |.
Miss Eisman is a popular mem-1
ber of society and is frequently j
seen at Columbian Club social af-;j
fairs. Her father and several;
other relatives are officials of

The engagement of these twor
popular young St. Louisans has
been received with much inter
est by Newport friends, who hold

Newport and who is a brother to
our Mr. Norman C- Wolff. The j
best wishes and congratulations
are extended in honor of the pre
nuptial announcement.

MAY STUDY
CRIMINOLOGY
Student of Criminology W ill Now
Have Excellent Opportunity
for Personal Observations.
Arkadelphia, Feb. 6.—“Your
honor, J am a representative of
the Great Northern Institute of
Criminology,” said Edward Field,
an important-looking young man
when brought before the judge
in circuit court today to be sen
tenced for burglary. “I am in
Arkansas doing work among the
criminals of this state.” he add
ed with an impressive manner.
"In my humble way. I believe I
am doing a great deal of good for
the community at large.”
Judge Smith was deeply im
pressed and he showed it. He
pondered a moment, then spoke:
“Young man, you are speak
ing the truth, you are doing a
laudable work,” he said. "I
want to give you all the assist
ance in my power. Therefore I
shall permit you to remain in
the Arkansas penitentiary for a'
period of five years. There you
will find an abundance of materi
al for criminal research work.
At the end of the five years, you
,should leave the penitentiary a
much wiser man.”
WAS STUDYING BURGLARS.
Field, with two men who ap
peared to be hoboes, was found
encamped in the woods near
Gurdon. In their possession was
a considerable quantity of arms
and ammunition that had been
stolen from a Gurdon store.
Field said that he had chanced
upon the burglars’ camp and de
;ruled to join them in order to
make a psychological study of
j them
“If you knew they were bur
glars, why didn’t you report
them to the officers?” he was
asked during the trial.
“Well, 1 knew the sheriff of
this county is a very efficient of
ficer,” said Fields, glancing
smilingly at that officer, who w.as
in the courtroom. “I knew that
he’d get them anyway, and I
wanted to see the look of deep
chagrin that I knew would come
over their faces when they were
arrested.”
Can’t Sell Hard Cider.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 7.—In an
opinion written in reply to an in
quiry by C- I’. Mullary of Brink
ley, Att’y Cen. Moose reiterates
his opinion that it is unlawful to
sell cider that contains alcohol.
He cites the case of Bradshaw
vs. State, 76 Arkansas, 562, in
which the Supreme Court held
that a preparation called “Uno”
which contained 1.84 per cent of
'alcohol and was proven to be
non-intoxicating, could not law
fully be sold without/ license.
The court used the' nguage:
“It follows from thii that the
sale without license oY any com
pound containing the liqyors
enumerated is unlawful whether
such compound be intoxicating
or not. If it contains any of the
liquors enumerated the sale
thereof as a beverage is not
lawful.”
