y HORRIBLE BUTCHERY IN ARK ANsAs-
The Fort Smith (Ark. } Ne1c Era of the 10th
inst. says
Last Saturday, in Scott county, in this State
some forty miles from here, the daughter OF J b.
Stewart had a violent quarrel with the wife OF
Hiram Barnes, renter of Stewards place, and
knocked the latter down with n stone The
quarrel soon spread to the male members of the
families .and the father of the beligerent youn
woman went to the field where Barnes was at
work and there continued the fracas. There
were two grown sons of Barnes present. Stewart
in the heat OF the controversy, drew a knife, and
slashing il across old man Barnes's body cut
him so that the entrails fell out. He then gave
another cut in a perpendicular direction, fairly
ripping open his victim. He then, with the fury
OF demon, attacked son of Mr.. Barnes, in
ficting ghastly.wound below the breast, and
another nine inches long and very deep on the
young mans back. Then he stabbed the second
son a number of times very seriously about the
right breast. Stewart fed. All the parties are
said to have been known as very peaceable people
heretofore. The attending physician, DIR. SOr-
rels, says all the wounded men will die. Deputy
Sheriff Washington Dixon, with twenty five men,
Is after the murderer, and will take him dead or
alive.

2. Never travel with just enough
money, but always carry enough for n
possible emergency. This will save
much anxiety.
.. Wear but little jewelry, and keep
the larger part ofyour money in some
inside pocket out Of sight.
4. Always look ailer yourself, and
do not allow a stranger to procure
your tickets or check for your bag

o. Avoid. if possible, making any
changes in cars by right, but when
unavoidable, 60 with the others. Do
not become separated from the crowd.
