CRIMINAL COURT.
Dave Allen Under Trial For Murder
In Second Degree—Jay Edwards’
Defense of Insanity Did Not
Save Him From Peniten
tiary Sentence.
In the forenoon of Wednesday a
jury was secured for the trial of Dave
Allen, a negro, who is charged with
the murder of Matt Griffin in Oil
Trough bottom near Rollen Bend.
His attorney is Gustave Jones and
while the indictment was originally
found for murder in the first degree,
the prosecution is only attempting to
make out a case of murder in the
second degree.
Jay Edwards, a confederate of
Harve Osborne, who plead guilty to
horse stealing and took the mercy of
the court in a one year sentence to
the penitentiary, fared similarly at
the hands of a jury. His attorneys,
J. W. Phillips and Love Grant, sought
to establish a defense of insanity.
Another case docketed for Wednes
day was a criminal action against
Sallie Gray and John Cole, both of
Grubbs township, who are charged
with aggravated assault.
CIVIL DOCKET RECORD.
Benj. Graham, et al versus J. M.
Hollis et al, foreclosure; dismissed by
plaintiff.
THREATENS CIVIL ACTION.
Henry Short, the young tramp, who
was caught in Chastain’s melon patch
Sunday morning and severely beaten
by the owners, Messrs. W. B. Chas
tain and E. H. Yeager, is causing those
who administered him stripes con
siderable trouble.
In the trial before Justice Lucien B.
Harris, Messrs. Chastain and Yeager
were each fined §5 and trimmings,
which amounted to a total of over 40.
Now Short, it seems is threatening to
bring a civil suit against these two
gentlemen to secure damages for al
leged injuries. He is reported to have
been secured a position at Jackson
port.
Messrs. Chastain and Yeager have
no doubt been so exasperated by
trespassers and petty thieves of this
kind, that they felt warranted in giv
ing the first culprit caught a sound
thrashing.
PENSIONS RECOMMENDED.
The Confederate Pension Commis
sioners, A. E. Shoffner, president of
the board, R. F. Dunn, secretary and
Dr. J. W. Coffman held their annual
meeting Monday afternoon in the
office of the county clerk, for the
purpose of passing upon the claims of
the veterans of the gray for pensions,
as provided under state enactment.
Out of eleven applications, only
three were rejected, the grounds for
this action being incomplete proof of
service filed by claimants. The fol
lowing applications were endorsed
and recommended to the state board
for final approval:
Martha A. Kyle, 850; J. F. Berry,
8100; G. W. West, 850; Martha A.
Morgan, 850; J. H. Gore, 875; Jesse
T. Fontaine, 850; Deliah Stewart, 850;
Fannie M. Birdsong, 850.
CLAYTON ANSWERS CHARGES.

Clayton submitted to the state depart
ment by Senator Penrose of Pennsyl
vania, in the shape of affidavits that
he held mining stock in his own
name, stand already denied by the

gards them as having been satisfac
torily answered. The purport of the
ambassador’s statement was that the
stock referred to was held by him in
trust, and did not belong to him.

BLACK ROCK BARBECUE.
Governor Davis and Harry Myers
Snub Each Other, Being Seated at
Same Table and Refuse To
Speak—Greaves Intro
duced By George
Dent.
Black Rock, July 29.—Two thousand
people attended the barbecue here
Loday. On account of the rain the
speaking was held at the theater. Hon.
Dlay Sloan was chairman and intro
duced H. H. Myers, the lirst speaker
Gov. Davis followed with a rejoinder
to Myers. Every inch of the ground
was covered by the two gentlemen.
Gov. Davis and Mr. Myers were seat
ed at the same table at dinner today,
but refused to recognize each other,
which caused much comment. Myers
referred to this in his speech, saying
the governor refused to pass the com
pliments of the day with him. This
was the talk of the day.
Myers referred to his Glenwood
park speech, the brick contract made
with Dickinson and the alleged mis
appropriation of school funds under
the democratic administration. He
also read a part of the governor’s let
ter to President Roosevelt and spoke
of the pardoning power.
Governor Davis paid his “regards”
to Myers in strong terms, denouncing
him as being no better than Powell
Clayton, and referred to how Clayton
ran the state while governor. He
wanted Myers to join him in a tel
egram to the two committees to let
Greaves speak. Governor Davis re
ferred t t..e reforms brought about
in the various institutions and dis
cussed the new state house. He then
referred to Myers as a “Yankee” who
looked like a reward had been offered
for him. The democrats went wild at
this juncture. The only difference
between Greaves and Myers was
that Greaves was a decent fellow and
would not be pulled around by Clay
ton, and Myers was the latter’s tool,
but was an insurgent four years ago.

nouncing the republican machine.
Greaves was introduced by Hon.
Geo. Dent. A large crowd attended
the insurgent rally, saying they would
stay for the side show. Greaves’
forces became enthusiastic when he
began hitting the “Clayton ring.” He
said he was as good a republican as
Myers and was not assisting the dem
ocrats. He denounced H. L. Remmel .
in strong terms and elairped that he
(Remmel) got $500 a yea.- from Henry
M. Cooper. Mr. Greaves declared he
could show up other things and ap
pealed to all to help down Claytonism
in Arkansas.
