MAY ALLOWED
$2,000 DAMAGE, R.
Damage Suit In Federal Corn*!
Results in Judgment For
Plaintiff.
James May was awarded $2,00*0
damages in the Federal court a t
Little Rock, Thursday morning,
before Judge Trieber, in the $20,
000 damage suit for alleged false
imprisonment, against H. C. Har
key, B. F. Lewis, John Allen .and
Claude Lutton, taken up .be
fore Judge Trieber in the United
States circuit court Wednesday.
The trial occupied the .entire day,
the arguments not being con
cluded until about 5 o'clock. The
jury went out, but after deliber
ating about half an hour had not
reached a verdict and was al
lowed to separate until Thursday
morning.
The defendants in the suit are
.officers of the bank of Casa, Per
ry county. Mr. Harkey is presi
dent, Mr. Lewis is cashier and
Mr. Allen, in addition to beihg
a director in the bank, is town
marshal. The plaintiff, James
May, who is a young man who
formerly lived at Auvergne,
Jackson county in this state, but
now resides at Colwell, La., al
leged that he was in Casa De
cember 18, 1903, and that he
took a number of bills to the
Bank of Casa and exchanged
them for silver. He alleged that
the bills were old and badly torn,
and that this was the reason he
desired to exchange them for
‘v/v silver.
A short time later, while he
was seated in a restaurant, he
was arrested on a charge of
passing counterfeit money. He
was kept in jail for a day, when
it was found that the money was
good and he was released.
May then brought suit against
the bank officials for $20,000 to
compensate him for the humilia
tion and disgrace which he al
leged he had suffered.
J. C. Marshall of Little Rock
and Gustave Jones of Newport
appeared for the plaintiff and J.
D. Shackelford of that city rep
resented the defense.
R. M. Johnson, J. W. Grubbs
and W. W. Dutton were wit
nesses for the plaintiff in the
suit.

HALF OF CROP
HAS BEEN PICKED.
Seasonal Temperatures Open
Cotton Rapidly—Gins Rushed
—Short Yield General
Report.
For the week ending October
24. — A total absence of rain with
temperatures about seasonal aDd
frost the latter part of the week,
were the characteristic features
of the weather during the week.
Cotton continues to open rapidly
and in some localities is nearly
all open; picking has progressed
rapidly under favorable weather
conditions; and a considerable
portion of the crop has been
picked, ranging from forty to
sixty per cent in the northeast
section, to sixty-five to eighty
per cent in the southeast and
southwest sections; gins are run
running at full capacity and the
cotton is being marketed in some
sections almost as fast as it is
ginned. The yield is fully up to
expectations in the northeast sec
tion, and better than anticipated
in some localities, but generally
the reports indicate a short yield.
Corn is being gathered rapidly
and gathering about completed
• 11 _ ___
Ill Lilt; 111UIC OUUU1C111 V.VUUUVO,
taken on the whole the early corn
made a good crop, but the late
will be short. Late potatoes and
turnips are poor crops owing to
insufficient moisture. The dry
weather has retarded fall plow
ing and very little of that work
has been done. Pastures are
drying up as a rule, and stock
water is scarce and stock are suf
fering in some sections. Apples
are'about all gathered; the yield
is a little better than the pros
pects promised early in the sea
son.
THE PISTOL NUISANCE.
Circuit Judge J. N. Tillman of
the Fourth judicial circuit, in his
charge to the grand jury at Fay
etteville Monday, emphasized the
importance of enforcing the laws
against carrying concealed weap
ons. On this line Judge Till
man said:
The pistol nuisance should be
abated. In the early days of this
month a bright boy was accident
ally killed at the state university
by being shot, while he and a
companion were playing with a
pistol, thought to be unloaded.
This boy’s life was worth more
to the state than all the pistols
ever made. Have you ever yet
heard of a pistol carried as a
weapon by a private citizen serv
1-^. mumnon xxrof _
Ill £5 UUV1U* . . ..V. v
ever? On the contrary, it would
be difficult to estimate the troub
le, expense and number of deaths
this pernicious and reckless prac
tice has caused.
Strong words like these to the
grand jurors should not be fruit
less. The laws of Arkansas
against carrying pistols and other
concealed weapons should be en
forced to the utmost. — Arkansas
Gazette.
EVANGELIST ASSAULTED.
Hartford, Oct. 26.—Rev. G.
W. Eichelberger, who has been
holding a revival here for about
four weeks, was assaulted today
by James Slankard.
The cause of the assault was
remarks made by the evangelist
from the pulpit, which Slankard
construed as personal and a re
flection on his character.
The preacher is not seriously
injured.
