Juror’s Sickness Stops Trial.
Little Rock, Jan. 24.—The se
rious illness of Neal Brannon,
juror in the trial of W. W. Hurst
president of the defunct Valley
Savings bank, resulted yester
day afternoon at 2 o’clock in the
sudden ending of the trial when
Judge R. J. Lea discharged the
jury and declared the hearing a
mistrial.
ri he state rested its case at
11:30 o’clock yesterday morn
ing after offering the testimony
of Receiver George Vaughan and
additional evidence by Frank
Wittenberg, the accountant ap
pointed by the receiver to exam
ine the bank’s affairs.
When court re-convened at
1:30 o’clock in the afternoon
Juror Brannon was seriously ill
with the grippe. Dr. F. L.
Freich examined the juror and
informed the court that in his
opinion Mr. Brannon would not
be able for several days to do
j jury service.
; URGE HEARING CONTINUED
Attorneys De E. Bradshaw and
i Lewis Rhoton for the defendant,
urged Judge Lea to continue
the hearing with 11 jurors or to
1 summon a new member and
proceed. They said they would
waive the usual procedure, de
■ daring that Hurst was anxious
I for an immediate verdict.
j
| Judge Lea held, however,
jthat the trial must end and a
new panel of jurors be empan
elled. Since Judge Lea will ad
journ the September term of
court next week to go to Per
ryville for a short term there
during the first week in Febru
ary, it is unlikely that the case
will be again tried until the
March term of court.
May Want Artillery Company,
i Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 24.—It is
i possible that a company of ar
tillery will be added to each reg
iment of the Arkansas National
Guard and that the government
will make sufficient appropria
tion to care for at least one set
of horses for each company. Ad
jutant General Lloyd England
has been in correspondence with
the War Department regarding
machine gun and artillery com
panies, and believes he will re
ceive favorable orders in re
gard to both.
The War Department has
reached the conclusion that ar
tillery companies should be en
couraged in state militias, and a
plan is on foot to provide hors
es for one company in each regi
ment. The Department officers
have heretofore expected the
companies to provide their own
horses, but the next appropria
tion will probably provide for the
purchase of one set of horses
for each company, which will
make drilling possible. Provis
ion will be made for extra hors
es during encampment or other
field movements.
525 Returned Letters Submitted.
Hot Springs, Jan. 23.—The
prohibitionists today began their
task of attempting to prove to
County Judge Mooney that there
are so many illegal signatures
on the liquor petition that the
petition does not bear the signa
tures of a majority of the white
adults.
They submitted 525 letters
which had been addressed to
persons whose names appear on
the petition. These letters the
postoffice has been unable to de
liver. They submitted a list of
200 persons who, they declare,
live outside the city limits. They
They also offered the testimony
1 of George H. Campbell, who said
D that two days after the petitions
, were published he began a can
■ I vass of the persons whose signa
0 tures appeared, and that he had
® ‘ been unable to find more than
51100 of them.
a I Four women who had been
“ summoned to testify said they
| had signed the petition. One de
I
manded her fee and was inform-j
(■•I there wa- no provision for!
paying her. Attorneys for the
prohibitionists said that if any
other woman desired to give vol
untary testimony she could do
so, but that if witness fees are
expected they would not be
placed on the stand.

The Medical Value of Rest.
The value of rest in the medical j
management of acute inflam- j
matory and infectious diseases!
is not fully appreciated. Its ef-;
feet on the circulation is signifi- j
cant. The average daily output i
of energy of the heart is 400,000
foot-pounds. By simple rest in
bed it is possible to save the
heart a daily expenditure of 50,
000 foot-pounds of energy. The
faster the heart beats the less
time it has for rest; so that de
creasing the pulse rate saves the
heart. Again, in the recumbent
position this organ is saved the
labor of elevating that part of
the blood which goes to parts
above its own level- Rest of the
voluntary muscles is still more
important._An immense
amount of energy evolved in <
i <
muscle movement is conserved u
by rest in bed.—The Family )
