Big Rice Barn Burns.
Jonesboro, Jan. 22.—The rice
warehouse of Dr. J. L. Burns at
O’Bear, in which there were1
stored thirty three hundred bags j
of rice, was completely destroy- '
ed by fire this morning.
The first news Dr. Burns had of
the fire was a telephone message
about six o’clock this morning in
which he was told the building
had about burned to the ground
and the rice was burning. No in-'
formation as to how the fire oc- j
curred is obtainable, but it is
thought by Dr- Burns that it is ,
the work of incendiaries, but who 1
could be guilty of the offense he |
has no idea, knowing of no one
who had anything against him j
that would lead them to fire his '
property.
The value of the rice and build
ing is estimated at about $12,
500 and is covered by insurance '
amounting to $9,500.00, carried
by the Freeze & Cole Agency of
this city.
i
Pardon Abused And Revoked.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 22.—For the
first time one of the omnibus
pardons granted by Governor
George W. Donaghey December
17, 1912, when he issued 360 in
one day, has been revoked be
cause of a violation of its terms.
A proclamation was issued by
Governor Hays Wednesday de
claring void the pardon issued
to George Clarke, who was con
victed in July, 1912, of Grand
Larceny, and sentenced to one
year in prison- As with all of
the pardons granted on Decem
ber 17, it was conditioned that
“if he violates any law of the
state in the future he is to be
returned to the penitentiary
without further process to serve
the remainder of this sentence.”
May 15, 1913, Clark was con
victed in the Hot Springs police
court of vagrancy and fined $10
and of being a dangerous and
suspicious character and fined
I $100, and on Jan. 12,1914, he
was convicted in the same court
| of jail breaking and fined $50.
The pardon is therefore set a
I side and he will be rturned to
the penitentiary at once.
YVe have just finished taking stock and find many
