prisoner on a small house boat
painted green, with windows on
one side. My relatives have
money. I am 16 years old and
came from Arkansas City.”
Mr. Stewart and his deputies
will be on the lookout for such a
boat. It is understood that offi

an effort to follow the boat, al

TILT.
Militia Appropria
te Nothing Less Than
Campaign Fund for the
Governor.
Little Rock, May II. — Govern
or Davis is reported to have said
that he will veto the Confederate
roster bill appropriating $5,000
for completing the work, as he
does not con-ider it a necessary |
expense of the state government,
and as it was not passed by the
constitutional two-thirds major
ity. |
It is upon this basis that Attor
ney General Rogers is attacking
the validity of the militia appro- '
priation bill. In speaking of this '
Gen. Rogers said: “In saying |
that I consider the militia bill
nothing more than a campaign
fund for Jeff Davis, 1 do so with .
no intention of reflection in any
manner upon Major General.
Haynes, commanding the militia,,
or any one who wore the gray,
as I have the greatest respect:
for them, but 1 am determined 1
9 i
to prevent if possible, the pay- j
ment of an appropriation 1 con
sider an imposition on the state.” I
HANDFQRD-BATES.
Miss Miriam Handford and Mr.
i
V. V. Bates were quietly married l
Tuesday evening at the Method- j
ist parsonage, Rev. W. M. Wil-!
son officiating.
Miss Miriam is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Handford
and is one of the city’s most
beautiful and popular young la
dies. Mr. Bates holds a respon-'
sible position in the First Na- j
tional bank of this city andLj
a popular young man.
The marriage of this ‘young:
couple was a complete surprise!
to their friends, but all unite in
wishing them their f ull cup of j
joy and prosperity. — Batesville j
