FOUR CHARGED
WITH FELONIES
John H. Keel. Jewel and Ira
Best and Lee Quinn Arrest
ed and Give Bond.
Following close upon the heels
of the grand jury report show
ing the awful conditions exist
ing upon the county farm, bench
warrants were issued and serv
ed upon John H. Keel, the keep
er of the convict farm. Jewel
Best, Ira Best and Lee Quinn,
guards over the convicts at the
farm, charging each with as
sault with intent to kill and ac
cessory before the fact to as
sault with intent to kill.
The arrest of ex-Senator Keel
was made by Sheriff McCuistion
and the arrest of the three
guards named was made by
Deputy Ab McGuffey.
The bond of each was fixed, at
$1000 and given with the fol
lowing sureties: H. C. Sanders,
J. R. Loftin, Jr., and John H.
Keel.
NO ACTION YET.
The report of the grand jury
had not been received by the
county court up to Friday morn
ing and Judge Coe has conse
quently taken no action upon the
contract of the county with

consider the county farm mat
ter, until the hearing upon the
liquor petition has been conclud
ed and it is reported that Judge

responsible citizens to make fur
ther investigation of conditions
upon the county farm and the
treatment accorded prisoners
before taking action upon the

State Candidates Speak.
Before court was opened Fri
day afternoon in the Board
building, some of the attorneys
not being ready to proceed with
the license hearing, two promi
nent Little Rock citizens, who
are candidates for state office,
were given i few minutes to
speak.
Mr. L. L. Coffman of Boone
county was the first to be intro- j
duced. He told of his appoint- j
ment to fill the unexpired term !
of Mr. Oathout as state auditor j
and of how he had proceeded to
conduct that office so that the
exact financial condition of the j
state might be shown every day. |
He reviewed the various expens
es of the state and of how much |
was required to keep up the va-1
rious state institutions, show-1
ing where the tax moneys of i
Arkansas were going. He spoke !
of the complimentary vote Jack- |
son county gave him in a pre- j
vious race and solicited the |
same favorable consideration of
his present candidacy.
Mr. W. B. Owen of Miller
county, who is a candidate for
state land commissioner and
state highway commissioner,
stressed the importance of the
land department as well as the |
npprl nf hpttpr rnarfs in Arknn
sas. He opposed the convict I
lease system and gave his ideas
of how the state should proceed
in encouraging and supporting
road building.
If the people should choose
him, he would not regard his
election as an honor, but only
an opportunity to achieve honor
through a capable administra
tion of the same.
