~GIN-BURNER SHOT
BY n Deputy sheriff on the Enoch EnsIey
Plantation.

Louis Fitzpatrick, colored, who has twice
escaped from the Jail of Crittenden county,
Ark, was probably fatally shot late even
ing before last near the Ensley plantation,
by Deputy-Sheriff Richard Morgan, who
had a warrant for his arrest and laid in
ambush until he saw his man approach,
driving a load of wood. Mr.. Morgan met
his man on the road mentioned and or
dered him to surrender, but instead of do
ing so Fitzpatrick drew a British bulldog
pistol and was about to let daylight shine
through Mr.. Morgan when the latter sent
the contents OF his gun into Fitzpatrick.
A wagon was procured and the man was
brought to this city, arriving here between
2 and 3 o'clock Yesterday morning, when
he was taken to the county jail. Fitz-
patrick is a bad character generally.
He is receiving medical attention and his
recovery is a matter of uncertainty. The
man shot down was a fugitive from Justice,
being wanted in Crittenden county, Ark,
for burning the gin of Ex-Sheriff ]. T. Bar
ton of that county. He was arrested and
incarcerated in the Jail of Crittenden
county, but managed to escape by knock
ing the guards down with a tub, and very
rashly came to this side of the river and
vent to work on the Ensley place, ten
miles below, On the river bank, where he
was spotted and captured by Detectives
Pryde and McCune and returned to Crit
tenden county. The jail did not prove a
happy residence, however, for Fitzpatrick,
and he again escaped, with the avowal
that he would never again be taken alive.
The soil of Tennessee scanned to agree
with the fugitive, for he again returned
to this State and resumed work at the
Ensley plantation. Mr.. Morgan, the man
who got the drop on Fitzpatrick, was for
-, - ,L@-, ~ ,,-I~~ H. ,rtn ~ -,
Crittenden county, Ark, and he incurred
the deadly hatred of Fitzpatrick by affix-
ing the crime of burning Mr.. Barton's gin
upon him. For this Fitzpatrick said he
would shoot Morgan on sight. Morgan
was accordingly prepared for him.

HIS LAST ESCAPE.
Probably Fatal Shooting Of Louis Fitz.

capped Several Times.
A Memphis Burglar Captured in Little
Rock on Information Sent by the
Police Department.

Chief Davis yesterday received a letter
from Chief Botsford, Of Little Rock,
stating that he had captured Henry Will
liams, who robbed the house OF Mr.. d. H.
Postno, of Vance street, and that he would
hold him until the arrival of an officer:
Capt. O'Haver left last night to take
charge of the burglar, who agreed to come
without a requisition. The Little Rock
Gazette gives the following account:
On Tuesday night Chief BotsHrd re-
ceived a letter from Chief Davis, of Mem
phis, stating that a lot of clothing had
been stolen in that city and had probably
been shipped to Little Rock by a negro
named Harry Williams, who had lately
come over here. Williams was found yes
terday by Chief Botsford and Detective
Adams at a barber-shop on Main street,
where he was ostensibly practising the
useful tonsorial art. He stoutly denied
any knowledge of the stolen goods, and
the officers were forced to fall back upon
the detectives most reliable clew-the
woman in the case. They soon ran her
to earth in the person of Pennie Williams,
with whom Williams lived at No. 1013
Broadway.
SIS that you, Mr.. Poston ?" she asked
when the officers presented themselves.
EYES," replied the chief, taking the cue
at once; 81 want those clothes" Here
they is" said the woman, sin dis trunk
and with a great show of alacrity she
proceeded to open the trunk. 1t was
empty.
well, l declare" she exclaimed, Harry
must have moved 'em while | was gone
Better look in that closet" suggested
the chief, and suiting the action to the
word, he found the goods snugly laid away
there. The woman appeared to be very
much astonished, and declared that Harry
must have placed them there while she
was out. With a little persuasion she was
induced to tell how they came there. They
had been sent over from Memphis, she
said, by Williams, not long before
Williams was questioned again at the
calaboose, and on being told thai
the clothes were found, gave his side
OF he story. Some time ago he became
unduly intimate with a dusky damse
named Rachel Washington, and to concea
her shame took her over to Memphis, where
she found employment in the household
of Mr.. David Poston, the well-known law
yer, and whom she told that Williams wal
her husband. Under cover of this state
ment Williams visited her there fire
quently, unmindful of the VOWS tina
bound him to his lawful spouse, Pennie
who waited longfully for his footstep OF
the stair at her nome in the City of Roses
Finally he awoke to a partial recognition
OF his duty, and, as he claims, bought the
clothes from a strange negro woman, anC
sent them over to Pennie as a peace offer
ing. A week ago he presented himself a
the deserted hearthstone, and vel u
work in the Main street shop. The stoleI
goods consist of several elegant articles o
ladies' attire-a wine-colored wrapper, TIVE
velvet sacques; a street costume of silk

Everything was as cleah and sweet as the
quarterback or a man-of-war, the sani-
tary arrangement being so perfect that not
an odor could be detected in a trip from
stem to stern. There are now only
HUNDRED
at work, though there is room enough for
three times that many. Until, recently
about 200, on an average; have, been em-
ployed. The wages are 81 a day, board,
washing and medicine furnished. They
start in at z o'clock in the morning, nave
an hour for dinner, quitting work at 6
o'clock-ten hours a day. On the snag-
boat Meigs fifteen men are now employed,
the full crew being thirty. OF all the ma
chimes in use in the work the hydraulic
grader is perhaps most novel. In order to
sink the mattresses properly it is neces-
sary that the banks should be graded
smoothly, and the hydraulic grader is a
long way ahead of the shovel as a means
to accomplish this end. 1t is a small YES
sci, with an engine Of sufficient power to
throw a stream through an inch-and-a-half
nozzle with a pressure of 120 pounds. A
hose is manipulated by two men covered
from head to footin rubber clothing. They
point the nozzle at the bank, moving it
about as desired, and cutting away the
shore at any desired point
WITH woNDERFUL swIFTNEss
and accuracy. The willow-cars spoken of
are used to convey poles to the barges.
They are twenty feet long and five feet
wide, have four wheels and run on porta-
BILE wooden tracks, of which two miles are
now in use along the river. The cars are
drawn by horsepower. Two willow par
ties are now at work in Centennial cutoff,
cutting willows. One party is composed

who, like all the balance of the employees,
is a white man. The appropriation OF
1926, 900 already mentioned as having
been made for the Memphis Reach and
Harbor, extending from Island 40 to
Scahlan Landing, will soon he exhausted,
though Maj. Miller is making every edge
cut to try and do certain amount of badly
needed work with the small amount
| which now remains.

THE MATTRESs-BoAT

is set with one end against the bank, and
the other standing out at right angles into
the stream. By means of iron bolts the
ways are extended down from the side of
the barge to the surface OF the water.
Across these willow poles about four
inches in diameter are laid at intervals of
eight feet, and smaller poles are waited in
and out, first above and then below. When
a section is finished, the barge is showed
from under, allowing it to slide down and
rest upon the surface of the water. This
is the mattress proper but it is not yet
completed. Rows of stout willow poles are
laid lengthwise and crosswise at intervals
OF eight feet.
