LITTLE ROCK REFUSED
DESIRED INJUNCTION.
Chancellor Hart Sustains Demurrer of
' Attorneys for Argenta—Case Will
Go to Supreme Court.
Little Rock, July 17.—At 12:55
o’clock yesterday Chancellor Jesse C.
Hart of the Pulaski chancery court
rendered an oral decision in the case
of City of Little Rock et al. vs. The In
corporated Town of North Little Rock,
in which he sustained the demurrer
filed by the attorneys for the defense
and refused to grant the injunction
asked by the City of Little Rock.
The case was filed on July 6 by City
Attorney Ashley Cockrill, Morris M.
Cohn and W. L. Terry on behalf of
the city of Little Rock, asking that
the court grant an injunction against
the mayor and city council of North
Little Rock, restraining them from
holding an election on July 21 on the
proposition of detaching the Eighth
ward of the city of Little Rock from
that city and annexing it to the city
of North Little Rock.
The attorneys for the defense filed
a demurrer to the suit and the argu
ment in the case was begun Tuesday
morning. Little Rock was repre
sented by the attorneys named in the
foregoing and the attorneys for the
defense were Judge W. E. Heming
way, United States Senator J. P.
Clarke and W. J. Blackwood.
At the close of his remarks, City At
torney Cockrill stated to the court
that in any event the case would be
appealed to the supreme court and
requested that a decision be rendered
as speedily as possible.
REVENUE OFFICERS
TEST TEMPERANCE pRINKS.
Little Rock, July 17.—United States
Revenue Collector Tucker of this city
has in his office two samples of “tem
perance drinks” which are sold in the
| prohibition districts of the state. One
| of them is a half bottle of wine called
| “Cherry Drip.” It is of a rich red
| color and when tested proved to be
| 7.3 per cent alcohol.
The other sample was a bottle of
straw colored liquid labeled “Mal
; teno.” When shaken the neck of the
; bottle fills with white foam and the
■ general appearance is that of bottled
i beer.
Collector Tucker said the bottle is
| filled about one-third full of beer and
i filled up with water. Soap bark is
j added to produce the foam.
When those who sell these “tem
j perance” drinks take out a govern
ment license Collector Tucker does
not bother them, but if they fail tc
attend to this little formality they are
soon called upon to appear before the
federal courts.
Government officials in the Indiar
Territory have much trouble with
such drinks, as that section of the
country is under an absolute federal
prohibition law.
JUDGE CARROLL WOOD
* SHOWERED WITH FLOWERS
Princeton, July 16.—(By Messengei
to Fordyce.)—The speaking by tbt
three candidates for governor here
today was enjoyed by 1,000 to 1,50(
people, many ladies being present.
The beautiful grove where the seat!
and platform had been arranged was
at 10 o’clock a moving mass of people
anxious to hear the speeches.
Hon. A. F. Vandeventer of Morril
ton opened with a speech of an houi
| and a half, after which dinner wai
! served on the ground to all present
| After dinner Governor Davis spoke
for one a half hours and was followec
by Judge Wood. Mr. Vandeventei
closed with a fifteen- minute rejoinder
Mr. Vandeventer’s and Gov. Davis
speeches were about on the same line
as their published speeches else
where.
Judge Wood, though evidently la
| boring from physical exhaustion fol
I lowing his recent illness, made an ad
| dress that called forth an outburst o;
I applause from the large crowd pres
1 ent that must have been encouraging
| to him in the extreme. At the dost
! of his speech showers of flowers weri
tl\ own to him.
Everything passed off pleasantly.

LILLIE B. PIERCE
TAKES THE STAND.
Claimant for Dower Interest in Es
tate of Late Colonel Imboden Tells
Story of Their Marriage.
The taking of depositions in the
suit of Miss Lillie B. Pierce against
the estate of the late Luther E. Im
boden, the wealthy St. Louis capital
ist and former Arkansan reached an
interesting stage Thursday, when the
plaintiff took the stand in her own
behalf.
She never wavered in any of her
statements. Her enunciation was as
clear and distinct as that of the
trained elocutionist, which she is, and
her demeanor was that of an injured
woman suing for her rightful name.
Miss Pierce claimed that she first
met the late Colonel Imboden in May
1898, that his visits became quite fre
quent, during which time they often
discussed matrimony. Imboden had
told her that he had promised a for
mer wife never to bring a stepmother
into his house, but he felt he must
have a companion in life and that the
witness was the only one he felt like
marrying.
The daughter of Col. Imboden was
but a child then and the marriage or
Imboden to Lillie Pierce, performed
July 27, 1898, was by agreement kept
a secret, though the deceased and
alleged husband had promised to
make public their marriage imme
diately following the wedding of his
daughter to Dr. Hugh G. Parrish.
The claimant stated that she had
taken trips with Imboden, the first to
Hot Springs, where she registered
under her own name and passed as
the Colonel’s niece, later to French
Lick, Indiana, where they registered
as man and wife.
