HELLO GIRL BREAKS LEG.
Pine Bluff, Feb. 9. - Miss Theo
dosia Crawford, bookkeeper for
the Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone Company, fell on the
icy walk yesterday morning while
on her way to work and broke
one of her legs. Miss Craw ford
was resting easy at last reports.
A CHANGE OF HEART.
Hon. John H. Keel of Jackson
county appears to have broken
with the governor, says the Lit
tle Rock Democrat. In the
course of the debate yesterday
he admitted that the governor
had offered to appoint one of his
friends to office if he would re
port favorably the Meade bill.
In explaining his changed atti
tude towards the governor Mr.
Keel admitted that he had fol
lowed the governor “blindly”
and that two years ago he did
almost everything the governor
asked at his hands. Mr. Meade
in replying to Mr. Keel said the
latter had gone to the gov
ernor to get a murderer named
Johnson pardoned from his coun
ty and intimated that the gov
ernor’s refusal to grant his re
quest was the cause of Keel’s
change of heart. Those who
know the governor will bear wit
ness that he would never let a
little thing like the pardon of a
murderer stand in the way of his
accomplishing a purpose. We
are glad to see Keel get his eyes
open. He is a brainy fellow, and
his devotion to the governor has
been a source of surprise to his
friends. We have an idea that
others who have followed che
’governor “blindly” will see the;
| error of their way before the
! present session ends.
WHITLEY ALSO
SCORES KEEL.
In the house debate Friday on
the Black bill, which was finally
passed by-.- a vote of 46 to 37,
much to the governor’s chagrin,
Whitley of Mena, who was once
a trusted friend of Hon. John H.
; Keel, and whose letter sounding
| the praises of Gov. Davis the In
I dependent published at the re
I quest of Mr. Keel, just about a
year ago, made an address upon
the penitentiary bills which
brought Mr. Keel to the floor on
a question of personal privilege,
accusing the speaker of reflect
ing upon his (Keel’s) character.
This Whitley disclaimed, but said
that it would have been much
better for Keel had he broken re
lations with the governor before
a vote upon the Black bill.
Whitley denounced Attorney
| General Rogers as a lobbyist and
| said that Keel had agreed to sup
port the Meade bill if Davis
would pardon Rufus Johnson.
He also read a letter from Gov
I ernor Davis detailing a conver
j sation in which Mr. Keel was al
| leged to have promised the gov
i ernor his support of the Meade
bill if Charles Wilmans were ap
pointed a member of the board.
IT WASN’T A BLUFF.
In the first act of “A Breezy
Time.” which will appear here
Tuesday night, February 14,
there is a burlesque boxing match
between the eccentric and dutch
comedians, the long and short of
it. One day last week the eccen
tric gave the Dutchman an up
per cut which knocked him out
and delayed the play several
| minutes, and still the audience
did not seem to trouble.
A prize fighter who was in the
audience and who, it is claimed,
had stood before Jeffries, was
heard to remark that it was the
best imitation he ever saw.

ARKANSAS RIVER
BLOCKED WITH ICE.
Russellville, Feb. 10. — The
pontoon bridge across the Arkan
sas river at Dardenelle was
broken by the floating ice a fewr
days ago. The only traffic be
tween the two places is by skiff.
The mail is rowed across by skill
ed oarsmen, who know how to
dodge the ice.
The steam ferry boat will not
face the icebergs. About one
inch of sleet fell on Tuesday
night on four inches of snow,
and this is melting very slowly.
Traffic through the country has
been practically suspended for
several days.
Wanted—10,000,000 feet black
walnut timber. We buy in any
quantity from one tree up and

inspection. Write for fparticu
