was to form a drainage

II not overflow into the
' nding country. Its length

A bill provided that the dis
A should consist of all lands
l ttWree’ miles on either side of
L^.fcreek, giving a district six
H^miles wide and thirty miles long,
f» containing 180 square miles. It in

The gentlemen who appeared
I before the committee Wednes
^ day night contended that it was
property own
i ' e&’of the city of Newport and
' "the owners of farms not in the
territory actually affected should
be taxed for the benefit of some
one else, especially as they had
in the recent past formed a dis
trict and built a levee to protect
the city from the overflow of the
creek through back water from
White river, as happened three
years ago. They argued that
under the present law those af
fected could apply to the county
judge for the formation of a
drainage district, the expense of
which would be defrayed by
those actually in the creek terri
tory. ___

It will be remembered that
early in the present session of

but after consideration this bill
was withdrawn because it was

TRAVELING SALESMAN
FALLS FROM WINDOW
While Disrobing in Hot Springs
Hotel to Pavement Twenty
Feil Below.
Hot Springs, April 6.—N. C.
Simmons, a traveling man from
Fort Worth, lies At the Pullman
hotel recovering from injuries
sustained in a peculiar accident.
While disrobing, Simmons’ feet
became entangled in his trousers
and losing his balance fell through
the window of his room, carrying
the Venetian shades, curtains
and window sash with him to the
stone pavement below.
Simmons’ apparently lifeless
form was carried into the hotel,
where, upon examination, it was
found he had not sustained any
fractured bones but that he had
been severely bruised. He did
not regain consciousness for sev
eral hours.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.
Benton, April 6.—The body of
a man named Dick Mitchell was
found lying by the road near Mc
Allister’s mill, twelve miles north
of here yesterday. By his side
was found a Winchester rifle,
which had been fired, and as it
was lying in his arms and the
ball having struck him in the
head; causing instant death, it is
generally supposed that it was a
case of suicide.
SAME OLD SORE
IS NOT HEALED.
Penitentiary Squabble Will Not
Down—Governor Wants to
Be Relieved From Duties
On Board.
Little Rock, April 6.—An old
rupture between Gov. Davis and
the other members of the state
penitentiary board, which, as a
matter of fact, was never healed
has broken out afresh. It cul
minated in the special message
from the governor yesterday to
both houses, asking that he be
relieved of further service on the
board, and condemning in un
measured terms the members of
the board and the management
of the institution. This was the
upshot of the meeting Held by
the board Tuesday evening, when
Gov. Davis threw down the
gauntlet and charged that the
secretary of state, attorney gen
eral and agricultural commission
er are in a combination against
him.
Gen. Rogers called upon him
for suggestions as to the proposed
appropriation for the mainten
ance of the institution under the
Black bill. He said he had no
suggestions to make; that the
board never consulted him about
nnvtVnncr and that he washed
his hands of the whole business,
and would have nothing more to
do with the management. Fur
ther, he said that he would veto
any bill for the appropriation of
money beyond that earned by
the convicts, for their mainten
ance. This presents difficulties,
since, under the new law, all
funds derived from this source
must be turned into the state
treasury, and can be withdrawn
only by warrant upon appropria
tions made for that express pur
pose.
