SPECIAL TERM SOUGHT
County Judge in Response to Request
Of Attorneys for License Calls
Special Term of Court—Course
Was Taken as Safeguard.
Again the legal battle for and against
the licensing of saloons for the nejct
two years has been postponed. This
time, to the 26th day of January, for
which date, the county judge has call
ed a special term of court for the pur
pose of considering the motion of the
license advocates’ attorneys, asking
the court to set aside the order of
January 11th, 1901, refusing license.
The attorneys for the prospective
saloon keepers made this request of
the court for a special term, to safe
guard their clients upon the point
raised by the counsel for the prohis,
who contended that the regular
January term of court had lapsed be
cause of a failure upon the part of the
court to adjourn to a specified date.
Upon the opening of court Friday
morning, the stenographer’s report of
the evidence presented Monday \%g.s
read for the benefit of Attorney J. M.
Stay ton, who was not present at the
former hearing.
When this had been concluded, Mr.
Stay ton addressed the court, stating
that after a conference of the at
torneys for license, who sought an un
questionable verdict, they had reached
the conclusion that the best way out
of the difficulty would be to take an
abundance of precaution and ask the
judge to call a special term of court.
He cited the law in this regard, which
aecords the county judge such an au
thority, in cases of the county’s wel
fare, alter ten days notice being given
in such public places as are specified
by statute.
tie argued mat Dy mis course, me
attorneys for license did not admit
the contention of the other side as to
the illegality of the present court, but
rather preferred to cut out any ques
tion of the court’s legality. (
Attorney Gustave Jones supple
mented these remarks in asking that
the court adjourn, declaring itself
without jurisdiction at this time.
Judge Jones so decreed and has called
a special term for January 26th.
Just what may be expected then is
not known, but in the opinion of some,
there is a question as to whether a
license issued by a special term of
court becomes effective before the
next rjjpplar term.
COLONEL MINOR TALKS
FOR HIS HOME TOWN.
“Col. Lancelot Minor, one of New
port’s most prominent citizens, was a
visitor in the city of Little Rock
Thursday,” says the Arkansas Ga
zette. “The colonel is the superin
tendent of the city waterworks at
Newport, which he has brought to a
high state of perfection. The town
boasts of as good a service as Little
Rock or any other city in the state.
There is a strong movement on foot
now, says Col. Minor, to obtain much -
needed sewers. The streets in some
places are knee-deep in mud. New
port and vicinity now, however, are
more exercised over the erection
there of a first-class federal building
than anything else. Last Monday the
postofflce was destroyed by fire, the
loss to the postmaster being about
§1,500. Col. Minor gave up his office
for posfcaffice purposes, in order that
the mail s rvice might continue. A
p<_ Lition will soon be sent to the de
partment at Washington asking the
erection at Newport of a substantial
federal building, the destruction of
the old postoffice giving good grounds
for the demand. The citizens of New
port, numbering over 5,00Q believe
they are entitled to the same consid
eration from the national government
as other towns of Arkansas. Newport
is becoming one of the largest cotton
markets in the state. There are two
compresses in the corporate limits.
The cotton handled there this season
will amount to 95,000 bales, and there
are few other towns in the state hand
ling this number. Newport may rank
second or third in Arkansas, having
only Little Rock, Helena and perhaps
Texarkana ahead of her.”
CRUSHED BENEATH WHEELS.
Alvin Scales, who has been switch
ing in the Iron Mountain yards here,
suffered a very serious accident Thurs
day midnight, necessitating the ampu
tation of his right foot.
In attempting to board a box car,
he made a miBstep and instead of
catching the iron footholds, let his
right foot down upon the track, which
was mashed from the instep forward
before he could remove the member
from before the wheels.
Those present say that he bore suf
fering stoically and without a mur
mur.
