CATE WITHDRAWS FROM
CONTEST FOR SPEAKER
Hon. John Keel And Other Supporters
Of Craighead County Candidate
Flock To Support Of Toney
Of Pine Bluff.
Hon. W. W. Cate of Jonesboro,
Craighead county, wired the Toney
delegation Friday the announcement
of his withdrawal from the race for
speaker of the next house, says the
Little Rock Gazette. As the result of
his withdrawal the Toney men claim
that the better part of the Cate sup
porters have gone to H. K. Toney,
among them John Keel of Jackson
county, who has been one of the
foremost Cate lieutenants in the race
up to the present. Though Mr. Cate’s
Withdrawal had been rumored, it was
the political sensation of the day, and
immediately brought matters between
John Ike Moore of Phillips county
and H. K. Toney to a head. The
headquarters of both candidates for
speaker were a scene of bustle and
activity throughout the day. Col.
R. W. Crisp of Searcy, White county,
was also in the city Friday, and an
nounces that he is in the speakership
race to the finish. He has not opened
headquarters, but will do so when
more of the representatives arrive.
The fight between Moore and Toney
has become intense.
John Keel, formerly of the Cate
forces, who has become one of the
Toney lieutenants, assures that gen
tleman the support of the votes
pledged to Mr. Cate.
Both sides are equally confident,
and claim that success is certain.
While the race managers are reticent
as to giving figures, it is believed that
none of the candidates for speaker
has a majority of votes pledged. The
first ballot, however, it is thought,
will settle the contest. According to
one man, not a member of the house,
it is a “toss-up” as to who will pre
side over the deliberations of the low
er house.
mere are peruaps a nine more mail
one-third of the members of the house
in the city. Many were expected to
arrive Saturday.
The interest in the race for presi
dent of the senate has not created, so
far, the same interest as that for the
speakership. The candidates, all of
whom have rooms at the Capital, are
Joe Short of the Twenty-second,
Creed Caldwell of the Eleventh and
Thomas Hardy of the Nineteenth.
All announce that they are in to the
finish.

SEARCY JAIL DELIVERY.
Four Prisoners Escape From White
County Jail at Searcy Thursday
Night—Posses in Pursuit.
Searcy, Jan. 9.—Four prisoners es
caped from the county jail of White
county at this place last night and are
still at large. Posses are scouring the
country, but as yet no trace of the fu
gitives has been discovered. The
crimes of the escaped prisoners were
penal offenses. There were four other
prisoners in jail who refused to leave,
though one was charged with criminal
assault, and the charges against the
remainder were more serious than
those against the escaped prisoners.
The escape was discovered this
morning about 6 o’clock by Deputy
Sheriff Walter, when he started to
give the eight prisoners their break
fast. He found the bolts of the door
of the steel cell filed and broken and
but half the number of prisoners he
had left there the afternoon before at
5 o’clock. The room in which the
prisoners were confined was in the
second story and a tell-tale hole in the
brick wall, a foot and a half thick,
showed the means of escape. A string
of prison blankets, tied end on end,
had been the means of reaching the
ground, thirty feet or more from the
hole. The other prisoners were walk
ing around the runabout, the space
between the steel cage and the wall,
waiting for some one to come and lock
them in their cells again, though free
dom was but a few feet away, with no
obstacle before them. They informed
the deputy that one of the escaped
prisoners had kept a file in his sock
for six weeks, and gradually worked
through the bolts until last night little
more than a push was needed to give
them entrance to the runabout. They
soon removed enough bricks from the
side wall for a man’s body to pass
through.
AUGUSTA CHRONICLES.

ROGERS WILL BE TRIED.
JopesDoro Officers Will Take Him
Back to Scene of Frisc Robbery
For Trial—Seems tc^Have an
Unsavory Record.
_ *
That George Rogers, one of the al
leged train robbers captured by the
Memphis police last Tuesday afternoon
on Main street, will be forced to stand
trial upon the charge of being impli
cated in the hold-up of the Frisco
passenger train near Bonnerville, Ark.
on May 9 last year, is now practically
assured. The police are thoroughly
convinced that he was one of the rob
bers.
Parties were expected in Memphis
Saturday from Jonesboro who believe
that they will be able to identify
Rogers as one of the robbers. It is
positively known that the robbers
spent several days in Jonesboro prior
to the time of the hold-up.
While practically nothing was known
of Rogers when he was arrested by
the police, and it was even hinted that
he was a novice at the business, cer
tain developments have been brought
to light since that time which have put
a different phase on Rogers’ identity.
Rogers and Clark, according to the
police, came South after a career to
the East. Clark was known as
“Butch.” He was at one time a news
boy on a train and from that honorable
position he took a post-graduate
course in the art of train robbery.
The police received information
about Rogers which they refused to
give out. However, it was intimated
that he has operated in the South for
nearly two years, and that he had fig
ured in both the Frisco and the Cotton
Belt train robberies, which occurred
within a few months of each other.
