southern Timber.

The ash and walnut timber Of the
St. Francis river valley to the west of
this is at present supplying various
extensive furniture and pillow factories
of the Northwest with wood material.
The hull of the dismantled steamer
Continental is now loading at Helena,
Ark, with thousand or more tons of
ash timber for John Deere's celebrated
pillow factory at Moline, ILL.,, on the
upper rapids Of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Deere began pillow making at that
point nearly 40 years ago, turning out
36 plows the first year, and he now
makes over $4,000 per annum. The
ash necessary for these is cut from the
brakes of the st. Francis bottoms and
towed some 800 miles up the river to
the works. The hull Of the once
famous low pressure steamer Rich
mond, which came here with cargo
of nearly 1000 tons Of ice some
time since, started up the river
yesterday to be loaded with
Kentucky ash four miles below
Hickman, and some forty miles south

The Part He and Others PLAY
I'm RObbiDg "A Wrecked
Steamer.


most kindly manner yesterday eveq
ing by Judge Hammond in the United
States Court toward D. A. Stone, be
second person convicted of pillag4ng
the wreck of the steamer City of
Vicksburg, lost by sinking nearly q
year ago at Ashport, 100 miles above
here.
A new trial having been refused by
the court, and the convicting jury
having recommended the culprit to
mercy, Judge Hammond sentenced
him to sixty days in the penitentiary
and $50 fine, also let him off under a
bond of $1,000 until December next
to allow the prisoner to save his grow
ing crop.
Stone is one of thirty. two prisoners
under arrest for plundering wrecked
vessel. The watchman Of the boat,
Mullen, undergoing term of three
years in the Albany, New York, pris-
on as a confederate in crime, is here
as one of the witnesses in the cases
under trial. Stone, it is
said, was one Of the ringleaders
in the plundering scheme, but
the proof against him was rather weak.
He is a small farmer and land owner
in the vicinity of where the boat was
wrecked, and had been a devout
member Of the church..
One Of his neighbors was heard to
remark recently, why, Stone, am
ashamed of you. A model Christian,
so pious that you even went about
praying in public, to be caught in
SUCH a scrlpe Everybody ought to be
ashamed of you, sirl"
The part Stone played in plundering
the wreck was to get two skifs, lash
them together, pick up lot of
floating meat, sofa, bureau aud
other articles and convey them to his
house. This was his own statement,
but it is stated he aided in taking the
sofa out of the captains room in the
boats texas, and he had thousand or
more pounds of meat taken from the
wreck. The latter was so careened
shat fearing it would turn over, the
officers in charge went on shore, and
in the night time the plunderers APP
preached, when signals shown by the
Waterman indicated clear course.
Afterward one Of the plunderers
was shot, and a reign of terror fol-
lowed, the people of the vicinity who
sympathized with the robbers rising
to mob the boats crew. But for lead
ing citizens and officials of the county
the lives Of the boatmen would doubt
less have been sacrificed.
The mob spirit was quelled by the
prompt action and protection offered
by the better citizens of the vicinity,
together with the bravery of the
boatmen, who armed themselves and
determined on defending the property
under their charge against the ma
rauders.
The leniency Of the court was in.
voked in behalf of the culprit, be.
cause he and his abettors, it is claimed
were ignorant OF the magnitude o.
their crime. They didn't know the
law, and like many others living along
the river shores and sea coast, re
garded a wreck as a legitimate objsc

casions something happened. viii
Wright, ginger-colored lad, made q
charge against John Scott, who /.
as black as the ace Of spades, to
the effect that he had been backing
and oiling the boots of the public below the
price agreed upon by the fraternity, when
Scott whipped out toy cartridge pistol
and fired on him. The small ball took
effect in, the left maxillary, near the
probocis, and the shock was sufficient
TO fell him to the ground Scott
fled the scene, running toward the southern
part of the city and thence to the Trinity
bottoms. Two boot-blacks essayed to stop
him. when he struck him over the head
with his brush box knocking him insensible.
The wounded boy soon recovered sufficiently
to make his way to the street gutter, where
he washed his face. He walked home, and
the supposition that he will live through IL
is not certain. A boot-black was shot in
the kitchen of the Apollo beer hall some
eight months ago by one of these
toy pistols and nothing serious was appre-
hended, yet he afterwards died from the
effects of the wound. These toy pistols are

if allowed time by his creditors
say one and two years, he is quite confident
that he can pay out dollar for dollar. His

preston in his line of business. He had
anticipated much better times, and had
consequently over-stocked himself.
