INJUNCTION NOT SWEEPING.
Judge Fulkerson Refuses to Grant
Sweeping Injunction Prayed for
by Prohi Attorneys—County
Court May Consider Another
Petition but Cannot
Grant License.
Judge F. D. Fulkerson’s finding in
the Newport and Jacksonport dis
tricts, in favor of the petitioners for
license in the former and against them
in the latter, which had been prev
iously announced through letters
from his honor, was made of record
Friday morning at a special term of
the circuit court of Jackson county.
The prohi attorneys filed an amend
ed complaint, reciting the judgment
of the court in the Jacksonport dis
trict and stating that petitions were
again being circulated in that district,
which would soon be acted upon by
the county court, for which reasons,
an injunction was asked against the
county court, forbidding during the
two years commencing February 1903,
the consideration of any petition from
said district or the licensing of any
saloon within its bounds.
T. D. Kinmau, Jr. was called and
testified that such petitions were be
ing circulated, a point which the li
cense attorneys admitted together
with their intentions of having same
submitted to the county court.
After a lengthy argument by the
attorneys upon either side, Judge
Fulkerson granted a temporary in
junction until the regular term of
court in September against the is
suance of further license in the Jack
sonport district by the county court,
but refused to include that court’s
right to consider further petitions for
the revocation of tne prohibition or
der of 1901 from the citizens of that
district.
MARRIED IN ST. LOUIS.
Miss Maurie Bach and Mr. Han>
Mansfield were married Wednesday
evening at 9 o’clock at the First Pres
byterian church in St. Louis by Rev.
Mr. McKittrick, in the presence of
five witnesses, Miss Alice Brown, Mrs.
Maude Marshall, Mr. Conrad Bach,
Mr. C. M. Kirkland and Dr. Sylvester
Wyfong, the ceremony being per
formed immediately upon the con
clusion of the regular prayer meeting
services.
The bride was lovely in a white
organdie with orange blossoms.
After the vows had been taken, the
bride and groom were tendered a re
ception at the residence of the latter,
3431 Morgan street, which will be
their home in the future.
The now Mrs. Mansfield is a very
sweet and charming young lady of a
sunny temperament, who will no
doubt grace and make happy the
home she has become a partner in
for life and her host of Newport
friends join with the Independent in
the extension of congratulations and
best wishes.
Mr. Mansfield is employed at the
Merchants’ Exchange and is reported
to be a fine young gentleman, worthy
of the fair prize he has won.
BODY BLOW FOR
NEW GAME LAW.
Marion, July 2.—In the case of State
of Arkansas vs. Capt. W. B. Mallory,
which is a test case of the D& Rossitt
game law, Circuit Judge Hughes to
day held section 4 of the act to be
void under the constitution of the
United States, as to non-residents
hunting and flsning on their own
lands, but he held that the act was
good as to non-residents hunting or
fishing on any lands or waters except
their own.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court.
NEW RAILWAY CHARTERED.
The state board of railway incorpo
rators has granted a charter to the
Kansas City, Helena and Brinkley
Railroad Company, which is organized
with a capital of $3,000,000 for the
purpose of building a railroad from
Brinkley to Marianna, a distance of
twenty-seven miles. The incorpora
tors are J. J. Farrell, Brinkley; Patrick
Farrell, Pine Bluff; H. R. Boyde,
Memphis; R. H. Johnston, St. Louis;
S. H. Williamson, Pine Bluff; L. A.
Jackso.i and T. H. Jackson, Brinkley.
NO DAILY TOMORROW.
The Independent will issue no
daily tomorrow. The nation’s birth
day should be observed by a proper
celebration, but as nothing in that
way is offered by Newport, the best j
one can do is to make the Fourth a
holiday.
MANDAMUS CASE
UNDER ADVISEMENT.
Little Rock, July 3.—The supreme
court of Arkansas has under advise
ment the now famous test ot the
omnibus veto, on appeal from the
second division of Pulaski circuit
court. The case was argued before
that body yesterday ana submitted.
As the supreme court will adjourn a
week from tomorrow for the term, a
speedy decision may he expected,
and the question of the fate of the
house bills of the last legislature
settled for all time. The decision will
also have a bearing on the actions of
the enrolling committees of future
legislatures. The main question to
be decided by the supreme court is
whether Sundays are included in the
term, “consecutive days,” in the
constitution. This has never been
passed upon by the supreme court of
this state.
If Sundays are included all house
bills are laws which were not passed
upon by the governor before noon on
May 20, that is, if the fact that the
governor had the bills in his posses
sion prior to that time is held to be a
legal presentation under the consti
tution. This is the contention of the
United Confederate Veterans’ histori
cal society, which brought the suit for
mandamus against the auditor.
If Sundays are excluded from the
twenty days, then the omnibus veto
of May 23 killed all bills named in it,
if the court should hold that it was a
legal veto in its omnibus form.
SEIZED TABLES TO BE BURNED.
Little Rock, July 3.—In the first
division Pulaski county circuit court,
Judge Lea presiding, the case of state
against Bob Furth, which was con
tinued from Wednesday, was called
yesterday morning. Judge Lea deci
ded that the confiscated tables should
be burned.
This is the case in which the validity
of the “burning order” of 1838 is
being tested as it relates to certain
tables which were seized by the sheriff
in Bob Furth’s place of business. At
the special order of Judge Lea,plr.
Furth appeared as a witness. His
counsel objected to his testifying on
the ground that the state could not
compel him to disclose evidence
against himself. The objection was
overruled and exceptions saved.
The court required him to answer
whether the tables were his property,
but did not compel him to state what
games the tables were used for. Judge
Lea suspended execution of the burn
ing order until the matter is re
viewed by the supreme court.
FARMER’S BODY FOUND.
Pocahontas, July 2.—The dead body
of Pat McOue was found a few miles
from town yesterday evening. Mc
Cue had been on a spree for several
days. An examination showed thai
there were no marks of violence on
his body. Several dollars were found
in his pockets. The body was lying
near the railroad and was found by
trainmen.
McOue was a well-to-do farmer and
carried 83,000 life insurance, which
goes to his wife and children.
ACCUSED OF CAUSING
MISS PEETE’S DEATH.
{ -
Warrant Charging Manslaughter Is
sued Against Mrs. Nevada Cost
ley and Doctor Edward
Morrish.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dal
ton Thursday afternoon issued a war
rant charging Mrs. Nevada Costley
and Dr. Edward Morrish with man
slaughter in the second degree, says
the St. Louis Republic.
The warrant charges that Mrs.
Costley, who is a physician of No. 2841
Franklin avenue, and Dr. Morrish of
No. 1803 Morgan street, are responsi
ble for the death of Nancy Lee Peete.
Deputy Coroner Boogher com
pleted the inquest about noon Thurs
day. The only witnesses examined
were Dr. Morrish, who was recalled,
and Miss Mabel Costley, daughter of
Mrs. Nevada Costley.
The dying statement of Miss Peete
is regarded as the strongest evidence
against the accused parties. Miss
Peete declared that she had paid Mrs.
! Costley 825 to perform the operation,
and that Dr. Morrish was present
when the operation was performed.
