GRAND JURORS . j
LED THE RAID
ON Gambling Dens at Harrison.
—Seized Articles Burned
By Order of Judge.
Harrison, April 23.— Quite a
sensati' n was created here Fri
day when the grand jurors, ac
companied by the sheriff, made
a raid on some upper rooms on
the south side of the square over
Joel Barnes’ bowling alleys, and ;
on the east side over the billiard !
hall, and marched back across
the square to the court house
loaded with tables, poker chips,
cards, etc.
Judge Mitchell had some one
who was supposed to be familiar
with such things to examine
| them to see if they were such as
are generally used in gambling
; houses, and being informed that
tfyey were, he ordered themj
burned at the north door of the j
'"court house at 1 o’clock p. m.
At that hour a great crowd
' collected in front of the court
j house and witnessed the break- j
j ing up and burning of the tables, j
poker chips, etc., which made!
quite a bonfire. / 1
This is the first thing of this |
kind "ever done in this county,1
and the grand jury and Prosecut-;
ing Attorney Frazier are being
highly complimented lor their
efforts in breaking up gambling
dens and stopping the illegal
sale of whisky.

\ FIRST HANGING.
! In the opinion of many who
,1 have been! asked about it the
i executionoMthe negro Houston
Hooker, who killed Conductor P.
D. Atwood ofV a Valley Route
! train last October, will take place
in Hot SpringiV, where he was |
: convicted on a Change of venue j
from Saline coumty, the countyj
in which the crinme was commit- j
ted, says theLittVe Rock Gazette.
Since the conviction of Hooker
a law has been paVssed providing
ithat death sentences shall be
carried out in the counties where i
| the crime occurred. \ Before that
! a person convicted \ of a capital
offense was hanged im the county
where the convictiori occurred.
The law in force at\ the time
Hooker was tried and convicted
applies to his case, so Wood law
yers say, and when theVgovernor
issues a proclamation \fixing a
| day for Hooker’s execution, the
| supreme court having ^ffirmed
the case last Saturday, h;e is ex
pected to designate th^t the
hanging shall take place An Hot
Springs. \
It will be the first legal 'hang
ing in that city. The law making

Representative J. W. Seay of
Greene county. There are few
instances in cases where the ac
cusation is of a capital crime in
which the defendant does not
take a change of venue to an
other county, and it has often
been the case that a man is
hanged remote from the scene of
his crime.__ __
