SUPREME COURT
REFUSES INJUNCTION.
Chief Justice Bunn Declines to Re
strain Legislative Capitol Com
mission From Awarding
Contract.
Little Rock, Aug. 6.—Chief Justice
Bunn yesterday declined to grant an
injunction restraining the legislative
state capitol commission from award
ing contracts of any kind and exer
cising any other functions delegated
to the commission. The quo war
ranto proceedings appealed from the
Pulaski circuit court, involving the
gubernatorial capitol commission,
will come up regularly at the fall term
of the supreme court. At present
there is no legal bar to proceedings on
the part of the commission elected by
the legislature.
As attorney for the capitol commis
sion appointed by the governor, who
contended that the legislature had no
power to elect commissioners, Charles
Jacobson presented to Chief Justice
Bunn a petition for a restraining order
against the legislative commissioners.
In the Pulaski circuit court Attorney
General Murphy had instituted suit by
quo warranto against the governor’s
appointees, alleging that they were
illegally exercising the franchise oi
the state capitol commissioners.
Judge Winfield decided against the
appointees of the governor, and Mr,
Jacobson appealed to the supreme
! mnrt In filinir a netitinn fnr a re
straining order it was asked by the
appointees that the injunction, if
granted, be in force and effect until
the cause could be heard before the
supreme court.
Chief Justice Bunn heard argument
from Mr. Jacobson on the petition
yesterday morning. Chas. T. Cole
man appeared for the legislative com
mission and advanced the suggestion
that the injunction could not properly
be ordered, inasmuch as the legisla
tive commission is not a party to the
quo warranto proceedings appealed
to the supreme court. Chief Justice
Bunn thereupon declined to grant the
injunction on the ground set forth by
Mr. Coleman.
There is some talk that a suit will
be brought under the usurpation acl
against the legislative commission
but there has been no steps taken ir
that direction so far.
August 12 is the day for the award
ing of the contract by the legislative
commission for the completion of the
new capitol.
NO EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
FOR OPPONENT VANDEVENTER
t
Piggott, Aug. 6.—Governor Davif
and Hon. A. F. Vandeventer, candi
dates for governor, met in joint ses
sion here today. Over five hundrec
people met them at the picnic grounds
and great enthusiasm prevailed. Thii
county (Clay) was closely contested
between Davis and Vandeventer ii
1900. Vandeventer polled a large vot<
here then, and his friends are making
a vigorous effort to carry the countj
this time.
Governor Davis opened the discus
sion today. He devoted half hii
speech to the trusts, and laid the fail
ure of trust legislation at the door o
the legislature. He defended all hii
public acts.
Mr. Vandeventer took the platform
and for one hour and fifteen minutei
scored Davis unmercifully. He at
tacked him on the ground that b<
abused the pardoning power and mis
treated his political opponents. H<
was freely cheered and was listened t<
closely.
In the rejoinder Governor Davi
made several important points whili
defending his pardoning record. Mr
; Vandeventer remarked that the gov
: ernor would pardon anybody. Gov
! ernor Davis turned on him fiercely
and said: “I wouldn’t pardon you i:
you were in hell.”
Honors were about even in tb<
battle of words.

i It will be remembered that Coffi

I last campaign by taking the stum
i against Davis. He is an able de
f bater and eloquent orator, but it i
generally regretted that the othe
candidates cannot be represented i

BOSTON MOUNTAIN RAILWAY.
The Yellville Echo says:
“Last Monday, without noise, flour
ish of trumpet or beat of drums, was
inaugurated an enterprise which when
carried out will be of the greatest ad
vantage to the mining interests of the
southern part of Marion county and
the northern part of Searcy county.
Major Brooks, chief engineer, and
Walter Harris, engineer in charge of
the Boston Mountain railway, arrived
at Buffalo City with a full party and
started to locate a line of railway from
there to a point of connection with
the St. Louis & North Arkansas rail
way.
“This line when built will be from a
connection with the Missouri Pacific
at Buffalo City, as they propose to
build a bridge there to connect with
the Missouri Pacific to a connection
with the North Arkansas road which
will practically be a belt line. This
line by reason of running up Buffalo
river will drain every mine in this
section and will afford transportation
facilities to all the mines on each side
of the Buffalo river.
“This week alone, with the poor
transportation facilities, over a train
load of ore has been hauled from
mines on Rush to Buffalo City, a dis
tance of eight miles, and there ferried
across White river to the Iron Moun
tain railroad. Given proper trans
portation, the zinc output of this sec
tion will astonish the world.”
CRACK SHOTS WILL MEET.
Pine Bluff, Aug. 5.—A trio of prom
inent sportsmen of this city, who at
the recent state shoot at Jonesboro
won the three-men team champion
ship medal—A. E. Howell, J. A. Coles
and Geo. Clements—have been chal
lenged by three of Little Rock’s
cracks. The same has been accepted,
and next Thursday the two teams will
meet in this city at the grounds of the
local gun club. The Little Rock team
is composed of Messrs. W. R. Duley,
G. Thibault and W B. Miller. On the
same day Mr. Duley will attempt to
wrest from I. J. Vick of this city the
medal held by him for the individual
championship, which was also won at
Jonesboro. The two events are oc
casioning much interest among the
local shooters, and both will he wit
nessed by large crowds.
NEW ROAD INTO MARSHALL.
The Marshall Republican says:
“Marshall is now a railroad town. Let
those who may doubt it come to town
and take a look at the cars. The con
struction train reached the city limits
yesterday afternoon. The track was
laid to the middle of the Ben Bratton
cut and will be laid to the depot today.
A great crowd from town watched the
first approach of tne locomotive into
Marshall. Meanwhile the work on
1 the depot progresses rapidly. Several
hands are at work and will complete
1 the depot by the last of next week.
1 It is thought that Marshall will have
; regular train service by the 10th or
15th of August.”
