D. W. Claiborne and Mrs. Lydia
Gaines, Charged With the Murder
of Abner Gaines, Discharged
at Request of State’s
Attorney.
Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 16.—The
preliminary examination of D. W.
Claiborne and Mrs. Lydia Gaines,
charged with the murder of the latter’s
husband three years ago, came to a
sudden termination Saturday morning,
when the State’s attorney requested
the discharge of the defendants. The
case at first promised to be one of the
most sensational ever tried in this
county, and the sudden ending by
dismissal surprised mauy. The pros
ecution clearly established that Abner
Gaines did not commit suicide, yet
there was not a scintilla of direct evi
dence of the guilt of the prisoners.
Seeing the hopelessness of a further
tedious hearing, the prosecuting at
torney acted upon his judgment
formed overnight.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
It is reported that both the Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island roads have
engineer corps on Buffalo river sur
veying lines west from Buffalo City.—
Harrison Times.
The St. Louis & North Arkansas
road will be pushed on to Leslie with
out delay, much of the grading being
already done that far. The problems
beyond Leslie may be left over for
next year.—Harrison Times.
The Missouri Pacific survey from
Buffalo City to Rush is having hard
sledding to find a way across. If tun
nels, bridges and other manner of ex
pensive work is what they are looking
fUt, they have certainly chosen the
proper route.—Yellville Echo.
We understand that the Boston
Mountain survey being made up Buf
falo river under the direction of Engi
neer Walter B. Harris is progressing
nicely with most satisfactory results
so far as the determination of a cheap
ropte is concerned.—Yellville Echo.
EXTRA SESSION
BECOMES IMPERATIVE.
Little Rock, Aug. 16.—The governor
has borrowed no money to run the
deaf mute institute. The patriotic
banker who offered to lend him $140,
000 remains discreetly in the limbus
of the uncertain, the auditor and
treasurer stand pat on their negative
proposition not to act until the courts
have passed upon the law, the gov
ernor persists in declaring that he ad
journed the Arkansas legislature May
23 “forever and ever” and the deaf
mute situation daily becomes more
acute.
It is probable that a mandamus pro
ceeding against the auditor will be re
sorted to in a few days, but capable
legal talent think this can result in no
relief, in view of the supreme court’s
decision in the Confederate roster
case.
Daily it becomes more and more im
perative that an extra session of the
legislature be called to straighten out
this unprecedented tangle.
A NEEDED REBUKE.
W. E. Barclay, the Immigration
Agent of the Missouri Pacific Railway,
is lying when he says he has seen
500,000 tons of ore and 50,000 tons of
concentrates along the line of the new
Missouri Pacific Railway. He lies
when he says people are coming in
here over the Mo.-Pacific, or over all
; the railways, at the rate of 3,000 per
| week. The fact is, all his statements
i should De divided by four or five then
S it will leave us in the most prosperous
condition of any mining district on
| earth. The Mo.-Pacific railway should
i either moderate Mr. Barclay or fur
| nish him less excitable booze. The
j truth is good enough and makes the
five mineral counties of Arkansas rich
enough for all intents and purposes.—
Marion Herald.
WRECK DELAYED TRAINS.
A large freight engine was derailed
about 11 o’clock Saturday night
twenty-two miles this side of St.
Louis and a wrecker did not reach the
scene until 9 o’clock next morning.
As a consequence No'. 3 reached
Newport nearly eight hours late, and
the excursion train to St. Louis did
not arrive in that city until nearly l
p. m.

VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
Brinkley, Ark., Aug. 16.—D. F. Mote
of Goode, Miss., was in Brinkley yes
terday and after an investigation con
cerning the unidentified man who was
killed by a Choctaw freight here Au
gust 7, is satisfied it was his brother,
M. M. Mote. A companion of the de
ceased rode with him on a freight
from Haileyville, I. T., to DeVall’s
Bluff, where they became separated.
The companion took a through freight,
but Mote missed catching on and took
the next one, a local, which ground
him to a shapeless mass in the yards
in this city. His companion, hearing
of the tragic death sent the coroner
word a few days afterward that the
man’s name was John Rice, that they
had both been employed on the rail
road yards at Haileyville and that
they were on their way to Memphis.
A photograph of the head of the de
i ceased was taken and after viewing
this D. F. Mote says it is his brother,
that he left home because of a diffi
culty, therefore Rice was an assumed
name; that when heard from in May
he was in Haileyville.
A TWO-CENT A MILE RATE.
It is not unlikely that a fiat passen
ger rate of 2 cents a mile in all the
territory from Kansas City and St.
Paul to Chicago and St. Louis will re
sult from the agitation over the form
of interchangeable mileage. It is said
that the Chicago Great Western will
signalize the opening of its extension
to Omaha with the announcement of a

eluding points between Chicago and
Kansas City. Officials of that roac
admit that fjteey intend putting on sale
1000-mile tickets at the flat rate of 320
The other lines are watching the atti
tude of the Chicago Great Western
with interest and a lively rate wai
with the adoption of a flat rate 1 ceni
less than the present rate is more
than likely should the Great Westerr
carry out its present plan.—Kansai
City Star.
GOVERNOR’S BANK ACCOUNT.
The Arkansas Democrat very perti
nently propounds the following: “The
governor says he can borrow enougt
money to run the deaf-mute institute
He says a gentleman has agreed tc
loan him the amount. We doubt il
any one man in the state could afford
to loan the money necessary and con
tinue in business.
Can he do it? If he can his credil
has improved wonderfully since he
had to mortgage that little 3400 office
at Russellville to run for governor the
first term. But they do say that hie
bank account has grown to mammoth
proportions since bis induction into
the gubernatorial office, as he and
Charlie are financiers from away back.
