Involve Character of Judge
Leatherman of Hot
Springs.
Little Rock. Feb. 27.—In the house
yesterday afternoon Mr. Kelso pre
sented the following resolution:
“Be it resolved, by the house of
representatives, That sundry repu
table citizens of Garland county have
accused Leland Latherman, chancel
lor of the Third chancery district of
the state of Arkansas, of high crimes
and misdemeanors in his said office,
and have reduced said charges to the
form of specifications, detailing each
event and action on his part con
stituting said misconduct and offense,
and which said specifications are
herewith filed and made part of this
resolution.
“It is therefore ordered that the
said charges and specifications are
hereby referred to the judiciary com
mittee, with directions to inquire into
the probable truth of the said charges
and specifications with a view of de
termining whether or not there exist
sufficient grounds for believing any of
said charges are true, to the end that
impeachment proceedings may be
reported to this house for its further
action, if any be deemed necessary.
“And the said committee is hereby
invested with power and authority to
administer oaths to the witnesses to
be examined in support or refutation
of said charges, and to Bend for per
sons and papers, and to take such tes
timony as may be relevant by means
of a subcommittee, sent to Hot
Springs or elsewhere, as may become
necessary in the progress of said ex
amination, and to have and exercise
all other powers that may be necessa
ry to conduct said investigation
thoroughly and impartially to the end
that justice may be done.”
On motion of Mr. Crutcher the res
olution was amended so as to name
the committee on circuit and justices’
courts, and the house then directed
reference of the matter to that com
mittee. The charges and specifica
tions referred to in the resolution
were not read in the house. Judge
Kelso stated afterward that he intro

some of the leading orators of the
house. The entire afternoon session
was devoted to the bill.
The Chestnut bill abolishing the
state board of charities and constitut
ing five state officers, exclusive of the
governor, a board to control and
manage the state charitable institu
tions, was postponed two weeks in

SENATOR JOBE
ATTACKS NELSON.
Little Rock, Feb. 25.—State Senator
Jobe of Hempstead county and W. P.
Nelson, a well known insurance man
from Helena and Memphis, had a
personal difficulty in the rotunda of
the Capital Hotel last night shortly
before 7 o’clock, as a result of an
epithet applied to the senator by the
insurance man. The latter was knock
ed down several times by the other
and after the crowd had allowed the
pair to fight for a few minutes, Mr.
Nelson retracted his statement and
Senator Jobe left the hotel. He es
caped unscratched, while the face of
Mr. Nelson was badly bruised.
Senator Jobe stated that until a few
minutes before the altercation which
resulted in the personal clash he had
never before seen Mr. Nelson.
The senator was with two friends,
Judge Otis W. Scarborough of New
port and A. H. Hamiter of New Lewis
ville. According to the statement of
these gentlemen in Senator Jobe’s
presence, Mr. Nelson had accosted
him as he started into the door of the
Walter Cotter brokerage rooms. Mr.
Nelson had said that he (Jobe) had
caused him to lose his job by passing
the King-Keel anti-trust bill, contain
ing the insurance clause. Mr. Scar
borough stated that they endeavored
to persuade Senator Jobe to pay no
attention to Mr. Nelson and leave
him, which he was about to do, when,
it is said, Mr. Nelson followed him
and desired to know if the senator
wanted to make it a personal matter.
coupling the statement with the epi
thet.
Upon this Judge Scarborough said
that they turned the senator loose,
having had hold of his arm, and told
him to go ahead. Senator Jobe struck
Mr. Nelson in the face five times,
knocking him to the floor in each in
stance, with one exception, as he
turned upon him. After the last blow
say Messrs. Scarborough and Hamiter,
Mr. Nelson said that he would retract
the epithet, whereupon Senator Jobe
took Mr. Nelson’s hat and placed it
upon his head with the statement that
he was satisfied.
