The Arknnsaw style.
Little Rock Gazette.

Several days ago we published an
item IN regard to u couple of horse
thieves that had created something of
nm excitement near Haddoxburg, II
station on the Fort Smith Railroad.
The two horse-thieyes, whose names we
are unable to ascertain, came from
Texas to the neighborhood of Haddox-
burg, and during " stay of several
months were, from time to time, en-
ployed by the planters as cotton-pickers
On the occasion ofiho equestrian trouble
the two men attended party given Ut
tho house of gentleman who lives near
tho station, where their laughing good
humor and "swlng your partner" abili-
ty brought them into notice. One of
them proved himself to be 80 calling
ly" efficient, that no was placed upon
tho floor M II prompter. While he was
thus discharging his duties, his COM
punion was outside selecting partners
from among the horses, and when two
suitable partners had been selected, he
went back to the house and made u
sign which was readily understood by
the companion. Pretty soon the two
men strolled off together. The dance
continued, but the two men did not
como back. Their absence, however,
did not create any suspicion until some
hours afterwards while u stir was being
made for home, when one man OK
claimed, so familiar to Kentucky, "Bill,
Ivy gosh, my horse is gonel" Bill, ahor
looking around, discovered that his
horse was also gone. Then suspicion
pointed out the two men from Texas;
and then the excitement sprang up.
Ii you want to insult M Arkansas man,
steal his horse. II is all right to step
ont from dance and scratch bottle
from under worm fence, but don't
steal his horse, Several young men
mounted, 80 our information goes and
instituted pursuit, declaring that the
men would not be brought back alive.
After riding rapidly for several hours,
they overlook the two men, aud, with
out asking them questions, shot them
both dead.

Mormon Malediction.

Special Dispatch to The Chlchag o Tribune, Feb. s
There was tragic scene witnessed in
Salt Lake at the Fourteenth Ward As
sembly-Rooms. The occasion was the
funeral services Of a young man named
Cain. He was the son of former
influential Mormon who possessed very
valuable property in the centre of the
city, but was cheated out of his posses
sions by Brigham Young during his
tyranuical reign. AT the fathers death
young Cain sued for his Inheritance,
and succeeded in securing many rights.
AT the same time he apostatized from
the Norman faith. He was young and
very popular here, and had TO faults
save intemperance. Recently he
visited his sister at Coalville, and while
there contracted typhoid-feyer, which
in the end, proved fatal. His remains
we're brought to this city, and his
mother, still an adherent to Mormon
tenets, insisted on his burial by the
church. John lay lor, president of the
church, ofliciated. He made some
fitting remarks, and then said; "But let
us return TO the young man. Was he
saint? No. He was once saint, but
departed from the church. He left the
faith. Did he die saint No; he died
a drunkard, and will find drunkards
grave. He has gone to hell, and there
is where nc deserves to 60" With one
wild shrek, the mother screamed; "My
God, my God, my only son, and to
think his only fault should be thus
made public!" and tainted. The sister,
overcome with grief, did likewise. They
were taken home, and have since been
under the care Of a physician. The course
OF Taylor is accounted for by his desire
to stop apostatizing by young Mormons,
but it is condemned here by all save
fanatics.

Mrs. Davis Mistake.

Mrs. Davis was, ~ usual, sitting in
her bedroom, says the Neu York Times,
and waiting for her wretched husband.
1t was nearly IL o'clock. The night
was cold, and the candle was almost
burned out, In the corner stood the
baseball club ready to he used in case
of necessity, and on the mantel-piece
the eight-day clock drowsily licked
away the waning hours. Tired Mrs.
Davis herself grew drowsy, and then n
loud ring 1T the front door bell aroused
her, she found that she had fallen asleep
and that the candle was out.
Without waiting 10 light another cam
die, the faithful wife felt her way down
stairs, opened the door, and admitted
the drunkard. He was even more
drunk than usual. for he could not ar.
tieu' ate u single word. Mrs. Davis had inn
menso difficulty in assisting him mp
stairs for he insisted upon sitting down
upon every separate step and falling
asleep. There were twenty-five steps
i'll all, ard it took three. quarters OF an
hour TO get him up to the top Of the
stairs, down which he promptly fell
again. Nothing, however, can exhaust
the patience OF good woman, and
about 1890 Mrs. Davis succeeded in
bringing her charge into the bedroom
and placing him on sofa. where he in.
stantly and permanently went to sleep.
In the circumstances, she resolved to
let him lie there, and thus avoid the
trouble Of lighting y candle. So she
loosed his collar, drew of his boots
placed stick OF wood under his head
and inserted 4 piece Of soap in hi;
mouth Ms hint to him to stop snoring
Having thus made him comfortable fol
the night, she was about 10 prepare her
