PENITENTIARY BOARD
HAS QUIET MEETING.
The penitentiary board held a quiet
and harmonious session in the office of
Auditor Monroe Friday says the Lit
tle Rock Gazette. Four members
Were present—Attorney General Mur
phy, Secretary of State Crockett,
Auditor Monroe and Commissioner
Bradford. Gov. Davis went to Carlisle
yesterday, it is understood, to hunt
quail. He is expected to return to
day.
The only decision of importance
made by the board was the selection
of the appraisers of the penitentiary
property which is required by law
every two years. The gentlemen
chosen for the duty are H. T. Hawkins
of Columbia county and T. B. Mays of
Johnson county. They will begin on
their work at once, reporting for duty
next Tuesday.
The greater part of the session was
devoted to an informal discussion of
the penitentiary affairs and the new
state farm, which has proved a point
of contention between the governor
and the other members. All the de
tails of the occupation and manage
ment of the farm will be left entirely
with Superintendent Rees B. Hogins,
who has, of course, the assistance and
advice of his under officers in the
management of the penitentiary. A
report will be made to tbe next meet
ing of the board to be approved by
tbe body. The regular meeting days
are the first and third Fridays of each
month. The meeting yesterday was
an adjourned session, and thus the
next meeting falls on Friday of next
week.
The board was informed of and ap
proved the sending of fifty convicts,
with mules, etc., to the farm in Lin
coln county.
WYNNE LAD’S PECULIAR DEATH.
Wynne, Ark., December 12.— Sam
Davidson, the 10-year-old son of W.
H. Davidson, a farmer living a mile
east of this town, met death in a pe
culiar manner yesterday.
While waiting for his mother to pre
pare his breakfast tbe little fellow
strayed into his father’s ginhouse. A
thousand pounds of cotton-seed was
Utored in the mill, and the boy began
playing about it. He dug a deep hole
in the seed and was climbing to the
top of the pile to slide down into the
aperture when be lost his balance and
fell head foremost into the opening.
His father called him for breakfast
a few minutes later, but receiving no
answer went into the ginhouse to look
for him. He saw the boy’s feet stick
ing out from the top of the pile of cot
tonseed and on pulling his son out
found that his neck had been broken.
Physicians were called in at once, but
there was no sign of life left in the
body.
CONFESSED INCENDIARISM.
It is not probable that the negro,
Walter Clement, who was arrested in
Memphis on several cases of arson
there, and who has made a full con
fession, owning also to the destruction
of Col. E. W. Rector’s residence at
Hot Springs, September 24, of this
year, will be brought to Arkansas un
til after he has served his sentence or
perhaps not at all, if he is declared in
sane, which seems probable. The ne
gro was arrested by City Detectives
Buttighaus and Price of the Memphis
police while detailed to find the fire
bug in several cases where incen
diarism was certain. He was finally
induced to confess by having on his
person articles belonging to the Rec
tor family, one of them having Col.
Rector’s address in Hot Springs.
This led to investigation and when the
negro was confronted with the evi
dence broke down and told all.
MUST NEVER DRINK
TO REMAIN PARDONED.
*
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 12.—Gov.
Jefferson Davis has issued a pardon
to Charles Cravens, who was convict
ed in the Conway county Circuit Court
at the October term of the unlawful
sale of whisky in several cases, since
which time he has been incarcerated
in the Morrilton jail. He had pre
viously been convicted in the Federal
Court and fined 8100 for the same of
fense.
The following conditions were noted
on the pardon granted to Cravens:
“Pardon granted on condition that
the defendant abstain from the sale of
intoxicating liquors and from the use
thereof, and if he be again found
either selling or drinking the same,
this pardon shall be of no effect, and
the sheriff of Conway county shall
immediately execute the judgment of
the court in these cases.”

ago and took part in several social
functions at the hotel. Last night he

and in a moment later his body was
lifeless at her feet., He was in busi

His remains were sent home.
