DEFENSE OF LANE SONS.
Public interest in the killing of A
G. Lane has relaxed since the boys
were brought here last week from
DeVall’s Bluff says the Augusta Vi
dette.
The mother of the boys, accompani- |
ed by her brother Mr. J. R. Cross ar- I
rived Saturday morning from Brown
wood, Texas. Doubt is expressed by
them as to the dead man being A. G.
Lane, and startling evidence is prom
ised by them in favor of the accused
at the preliminary.
The statement made by the boys
is corroborated in a good many par
ticulars by parties here and is about
as follows:
On Wednesday, Oct. 1, the old gen
tleman in company with the two boys
was in Augusta inquiring as to the
time of departure of the train for
Bald Knob, stating that he was going
to Newport for the purpose of selling
pearls, and according to the boys,
left, instructing them to make every
thing in readiness to drift on down the
river. The boys did as they were told
and came to town Thursday morning
to meet their father and after waiting
several hours went back to their boat
and drifted down the river, expecting
to meet him between here and the
mouth stopping at various points un
til they reached DeVall’s Bluff, where
they were arrested.

FAMOUS LAND CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT.
A case of unusual interest comes up
for hearing in the Supreme court
Monday. Sixteen years ago Spott
Gibson, an old citizen of Woodruff
county, died and left a valuable plan
tation of about 1,000 acres. His di
vorced wife and one child, a daughter,
survived him. About two years be
fore his death his wife had secured a
divorce and been granted alimony and
the maintenance of the child. Two
years after his death a brother and a
sister of Gibson, E. S. McDonald and
Octavia Mitchell, brought suit against
the guardian of the child for the pos
session of the property into which
she had come. The contestants for
cause of action set up the averment
that the girl Was not the daughter of
the deceased and for certain physical
reasons could not have been. Upon
the prosecution of their case they
wei'e awarded the land and have been
in possesion ever since. Tho child
has since attained her majority, hav
ing been about 5 years old at the time.
. She is now Mrs. Sallie Rankin of New
\port. Last year she took an appeal
V> the Supreme Court from the decis
ion of sixteen yeaws ago, the statute
oi^imitations not having run against
it ot, account of her minority.
A Vtotion was made by the appellees
to dfljmiss the appeal, but this was
overriked. The act of 1899, governing
appeals n certain cases, and involving
the prinVples at issue in this case, is
as followA amendatory to section 1027
ui tut; uigotu.
“An appV.l or writ of error shall
not be grant\i except within one year
next after tin rendition of the judg
ment, order decree sought to be
reviewed, unless the party applying
therefor was an yifant or of unsound
mind at the tinijv>f its rendition, in
which cases an apVeal or writ or er
ror may be grantedXo such parties or
their legal representatives within six
months after the removal of their dis
abilities or death.” \
There is now' an estXte valued at
about $100,000 involved besides a
large amount of back opes. Mc
Donald, the original contestant, is
dead, and his two childreX are the
principal ones now interests in the
case. Col. J. W. House <X Little
Rock represents the heirs anX Gus
tave Jones of Newport represents
Mrs. Rankin. \

WANTS THE CONTRACT. \
Little Rock, Oct. 20.—George
Donaghey was in the city yesterdayi,
Mr. Donaghey is one of the members
of the old board of State capitol com
missioners appointed by Gov. Jones.
The plans were submitted to an ex
pert in Philadelphia by the commis
sioners to ascertain if the building
could be erected for $1,000,000, the
limit prescribed by the act. The opin
ion of the expert was that the final
cost of the building would exceed
$1,000,000. However, he praised the
plans very highly and said that by the
substitution of some cheaper mate
rials the building could be constructed
for the price named.
Since this report the matter lias been
at a standstill and no efforts have been
made to continue the work.
Mr. Donaghey belie ves, though, that
the building can be erected from the
present plans with the materials spec
ified for the $1,000,000, and as an evi
dence of his sincerity he is willing to
take the contract at that price. It
was staled this morning by a state
house official that Mr. Donaghey went
to the governor yesterday afternoon
and told the chief executive that he
would build the new State capitol for
$1,000,000, provided the State would
furnish the same amount of convict
labor agreed to in the original law
authorizing the erection of the build
ing. Mr. Donaghey left yesterday
evening for his home and could not
be seen in reference to his proposi
tion, but it is stated by those with
whom he talked that he made in effect
the offer to the governor as outlined
above, with probably some few addi
tional details or modifications.
Chas. Owens, of the Rea-Patterson
Milling Company, left Tuesday noon
for points south, after spending four
days in this city.
Thos. Shaver spent Monday in Little
Rock on business.
FINED FOR ASSAULT^Hk-'v.. ^
BOURLAND’S CHANGE OF BASE.
Bourland’s change from gubernato
rial aspirations to that of attorney
general does not signify that Davis
will offer for a third term. It simply
means that he, Davis, is pledged to
support T. C. McReafor governor and
could not support Bourland, hence
Bourland’s switch. Now, Jeffie, old
boy, what will you do with T. Hadden
Humphries whom you have promised
to support for attorney-general? Give
him the dirty shake, we suppose—and
by the way, without any regrets on
our part—as he hails trom Berry’s
stronghold and can’t return any favors
for your support. Oh, well! it is with
us a case of “fight dog, tight b’ar; No
dog of mine thar.” Sic’ ’em, Tige.—
