Muirhead Snake Bitten.
Charles W. Muirhead of the
Muirhead Shingle Company,
while picking up some chunks
of wood on their logging road
near Bear Lake, was snake bit
ten Thursday but his presence
of mind and prompt action pre
vented any serious reeulto.
When he raised a piece of
wood, he felt a sting in one fin
ger of the right hand and look
ing down saw a ground rattler
had struck him. The snake was
about three feet long and of a
very poisonous kind.
He immediately began sucking
the wound and also cut the flesh
causing it to bleed freely and
seems to have pulled all the pois
on out. He was here Friday aiid
had the wound dressed. His
many friends are pleased to
know that no serious results fol
lowed.

Special to Independent. 1
Little Rock, Oct. 27.—An ef
fort is being made today in fed
eral court to throw out the in
dictment against Jesse Smith
ton, for violation of the Mann
white slave act of congress, on
tfflrground that “the indictment
does not state sufficient facts to
constitute an offense againt the
government, and for further
reason that the act of congress
under which said indictment is
drawn is unconstitutional, be
cause congress has no power to
legisate on the subject matter of
the statute.
Terry, Downie & Streepy.
Douglas Heard and Jones & Ow
ens appear as counsel for the ac
cused. It is the first case of the
kind that- has come up under
the new law in Arkansas, and
tnereiore more tnan oramary in
terest attaches to it. It is
claimed by the defense, among
other things, that a trip to Sear
cy from Little Rock, does not
make it an interstate trip, even
though it may have been the in
tention to continue the journey
later.
Smithton is the man who is
accused of luring away from her
home Bertie Crouch, aged 17, by
promises of taking her to Chi
cago to become an actress. She
was gone a week before located
in Searcy in company with
Smithton at the county fair.
Citizens Ask Special Election.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 27.—A party
of business men from Hot
Springs waited on Governor
Donaghey yesterday and re
quested him to call a special
election for Garland county for
the election of a sheriff. Earlier
in the week, he had appointed H.
L. Hale as sheriff, to fill a vacan
cy caused by the removal of Sid
Houpt,who was convicted of per
mitting a prisoner to escape and
whose sentence was affirmed last
Monday by the supreme court.
During the pendency of the
{charges against Houpt, Charles
Webb had been acting as sher
iff under appointment of circuit
judge C. T. Cotham. The ap
pointment of Hale has stirred
up a political hornet’s nest, and
there is much open opposition
expressed to him. To the re
quest that he call a special elec
tion to fill the office, the govern
or made substantially the follow- ■
ing reply: |
“You are good citizens, and I
know you want the law enforced
and if the sheriff appointed does
not enforce the laws, I will then
take the matter under considera
tion as to calling a special elec
tion. But if he does enforce the
law ,1 know you will be pleased
and will not want an election, so
let us give him a chance.”

Judge Trieber told him that he

erable thought, and had come to
the conclusion that he would
give him another chance to be
come a good citizen. He would
not remit the fine, but would
suspend execution of the peni
tentiary sentence during his
good behavior. The court warn
ed him, however, that should
he ever again sell liquor in a pro
hibition community, whether h©\g
