I SID WALSH HOOKS
r' SIX-POUND BASS
Up until Monday of this weel
the Cotter Courier editor helc
the record for the largest bass
caught at Cotter this spring. It
was a pretty good fish, too,
weighed exactly three pounds
and six ounces, and was taken
with a fly.
Now comes Sidney Walsh,
train dispatcher, and asserts up
on his honor that at or about 3
“ o’clock Monday afternoon, April
24th, he did, with a rod and reel
and bucktail bait, take one black
bass which he asserts makes the
Courier record look like a Rus
sian kopek.
He furthermore swears and de
clares that said bass taken by
him was 19 inches in length, over
all, and that it weighed six
pounds and seven ounces. That
said bass was alive and in good
health, and did of its own free
will and accord seize and attempt
to make off with said bucktail
bait, becoming by such effort
securely fastened thereon, and
thus met an untimely end. Walsh j
weighed the fish, and there is aj
suspicion, just a suspicion, thafr
he weighed it on its own scales*

URGES GRAND JURY
TO STOP GAMBLING.
Arrest of Persons Caught Gam
bling, As Well As of Propri
etors, Pointed to as Means
to Stop Gambling.
Pine Bluff, April 28. —Circuit
Judge A. B. Grace yesterday
morning called the grand jury in
and gave the body special in
structions in the matter of gam
bling in Pine Bluff. The instruc
tions were given because of a
difference of opinion among the
jurors about whetner only those
who kept gambling houses or
every man who piayeu in one oi
the houses should be indicted.,
Judge Grace said tne law n
no distinction between the i
who gambled all the time or
man who would play a game:
and then. Both were viola
the statutes and both were gt
of a crime. He advised
grand jury to indict all pers
guilty of gambling, for gamb
wns ns mnrh n prime nnrJor*
statutes as murder or burgli
The only difference was in ft
degree. He thought the Jbe
way to break up gambling i
Pine Bluff was to arrest Jv#
man who gambled. Wheneve
the customers of a house
stopped, then the house must
necessarily close.
The tendency everywhere was
to stop gambling, for f it was
proving the ruin of manfryoun£
men. Judge Grace said; be knew
of many instances wh#e younS
men were led to contts& fbeir
first crime because of*losses at
the gambling tables, and of
many other cases whefremen had
lost their positions because0I" the
evil. Men who gaimbled could
not always be trusted with
money that was not their own.
Continuing the judge said that
it was the sworn doty of the
sheriff and his deputies, the con
stable and his deputies and the
chief of police and his patrolmen
to arrest any and fill persons who
were caught gambling. If these
Tien would not do their duty the
grand jury should do its duty.
When questioned about pool
'ooms Judge Grace said he re
garded this as the worst form of
gambling, but that there was no
state lawT under which it could
)e stopped, /

PlNSOaETY j|
woman’s club.
The Woman’s Club met onj
Friday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Brandenburg. The presi
dent being absent, Mrs. 0. D.
Watson, as vice-president, took
her place. The attendance was
unusually small, but those pres- i
ent warmly welcomed two newly
elected members, Mrs. Cox and
Mrs. Anderson. The resigna
tions of Mrs. Beattie and of Mrs.
Stewart were reluctantly ac
cepted.
The program was largely de
voted to the concluding phases of
Napoleon’s career. Especially
interesting were the fresh facts
brought out, and the new light
thrown on the characters of Vol
taire and Talleyrand.
A lively discussion, branching
from Mrs. 0. D. Watson’s paper
on “Napoleon, Caesar and Alex
ander,” concluded the afternoon.
EASTER BALL.
Friday night witnessed one of
the most successful and brilliant
social events that has ever been
given in the city. The occasion
was the Easter ball given by the
managers of the opera house,
Messrs. F. E. Vining and W. T.
Parish.
There was no attempt at deco
ration, but the large ball room
was brilliantly lighted and never
looked better than on this occa
sion, when it was filled with
a merry throng of handsomely
dressed men and women, who
enjoyed the dance until 2:30 in
the morning.
The music was furnished by
Saxby’s band of Memphis and
was very fine.
Those present were Messrs,
and Mesdames H. G. Bunn, E. B.
Wilmans, Chas. G. Henry, B. B.
