ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.
David Hause;Of Bradford Robbed By
Footpads Who Leave Him Insen- :
sible From Injuries—Suspect i
Arrested At Newark. !
David flause of Bradford, a fur 1
buyer, who came to Newport Monday
evening on business with several 1
hundred dollars in his possession, was >
assaulted at the crossing of the Iron
Mountain and Choctaw Tuesday even
ing about eight o’clock by two un
known footpads. 1
According to Hause’ story to a re
porter for the Independent, he had
gone there to meet a friend on the
north local, thinking that it still ran in
here at nights. He had no sooner
reached the crossing, than two men
came up, asked him if he would not
have a drink and as he started to walk
off, struck him over the head with a
piece of iron. He fell unconscious
and the villains relieved him of $113
be carried in a shot bag in bis hip
pocket, though they failed to find $187
hidden in the watch pocket of his
trousers.
When he became conscious he found
himself in a pool of blood 20 feet from
where he was struck, with fifteen
gashes on his head and a broken jaw
bone. His injuries are regarded as
very serious.
Sheriff Bandy with Deputies B. W.
Reeves and Lockard Bandy went to
the scene with the bloodhound, but
could not get the dog to strike the
trail. Nearby points were notified
and a suspect has been arrested at
Newark, who will be brought down
for identification.
Hause is positive he will know the
men, whom he describes, as follows:
one, low and heavy set, weighing
about 170 pounds, with mustache and
wore light broad brimmed hat and
common black Buit. The other was
about 6 feet 8 inches tall, with ’three
days growth of beard and wore a
black suit with narrow brimmed felt
hat.

PETITION GOVERNOR
TO VETO BILL.
! Petitions are being circulated in
Batesville, Newark, Jacksonport, Rus
sell, Bradford and Newport, to-gether
with other important shell markets
of the White and Black River territory
praying Governor Davis to veto the
Myers mussel bill, as passed by the
legislature.
The petitions now in ciiculation,
which will be sent to the governor by
Saturday, set forth the objections to
euch legislation, which it is claimed
will put an end to the industry. The
present mussel bill protects the plan
ter and insures cheap labor at the ex
pense of an industry, which has an
equal right to fair and equitable laws.
The petition further recites that the
people were not well informed of the
provisions of the law at the time of
ngaaonro Qitr) that, thfi nAnnlp nf thft
-- I-O * *.
territory affected by the law, do not
favor its enactment.
It is expected that the petitions will
contain several thousand names, when
placed finally before the governor.
T. P. Umsted is circulating the peti
tion in this city.

PROBABLE LEGISLATION.
i •
Little Rock, March 3.—Indications
ire that either by committee or body
iction the general assembly will en
ict the following measures:
Appropriation of 877,000 additional
or exhibit at world’s fair.
McCrea’s Confederate pension tax
evy from three-quarters of a mill to
>ne mill and a half.
Provide for the erection of new
■State capitol at cost of 81,000,000.
Create office of county school sup
erintendent.
Make office of penitentiary superin
tendent elective by the people.
The world’s fair bill has passed the
jenate and the house has already re
fused to reduce the amount proposed,
rhe house has voted in favor of the
ncreasad pension levy and passed
the penitentiary superintendent bill,
rhe county superintendent bill has
passed the senate and is pending in
the house. The joint committee on
new State capitol has voted unani
mously in favor of a new State capitol
to cost 81,000,000.
It seems reasonably sure that the
following measures are doomed;
Dispensary bills.
Reform school bills.
Change in control of penitentiary.
Fellow servants’ legislation.
Salary for members of general as
sembly.
Some of these bills have not been
yoted upon in either branch, notably
the reform school measure. The sen
ate has placed itself on record against
i dispensary bill and a fellow servants’
bill. The house has manifested no
Imposition to make any change in the
control of the penitentiary and to
placing members of the general as
sembly on a salary.
HOME WITNESSES
AGAINST LEATHERMAN.
Hot Springs, Ark., March 3.-Fifteen
prominent citizens of Hot Springs
have been served with legal summons
to appear before the judiciary comit
tee of the Arkansas legislature at the
eapitol, on Tuesday afternoon at 4
o’clock, to testify in the investigation
against Judge Leland Leatherman.
In an interview in the Sunday morn
ing edition of the Sentinel-Record
Judge Leatherman was quoted as say
ing that he had been in Little Rock
and personally asked the legislature
to make an investigation, and, in fact,
said he had demanded one.
Sheriff Williams came out in a sig
ned statement today, declaring that
the very opposite was the case; that
Judge Leatherman had tried to keep
the legislature from making an in
vestigation into the charges, and in a
lengthy communication denounced the
chancellor in no unmeasured terms.

he is a personal friend of Teddy Roose
velt, arrived in AltheimSii Saturday
and proceeded to take in the town.

the sidewalks, one of them resenting
it and thrashed him. He was turned
over to the officers after a game fight
